SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Split Flow burner controller has one inlet and two outlets. The inlet is connected to the
outlet of the appliance main safety valve, while the outlets are connected to the primary and
secondary burners respectively. The primary outlet is always open, simply allowing the gas
flow from the safety valve to the primary burner. The secondary outlet is controlled by the
Split Flow and can be open or closed at the user request.
A 6VDC pulse is applied to the solenoid which opens a valve allowing gas to flow to the bur-
ner. The valve will remain open until a pulse of opposite polarity is applied to the coil. The
Split Flow is NOT a safety device, and is only used for controlling burner sections in a gas
appliance.
The appliance manufacturer must verify that the burners light correctly when the appliance
is put into operation with either one or two burners being lit at a time.
The Split Flow is fully compatible for use with the Proflame remote control system.

The Split Flow burner control is a DC powered device that is installed downstream of the
appliance safety valve.
It allows unobstructed gas-flow to outlet #1 when the safety valve is cycled open, and
controls the gas flow to outlet #2.
