To light you turn the control knob until the cutout lines up with the press button 'Piezo' igniter to one side. Now press down on the knob to get gas to flow and then start pressing the Piezo to make a spark and light the gas. Hopefully it will light and theres a viewing window toward the base of the fire so you can see, theres a slot in the fire front to see through to the viewing window. Once lit keep holding the knob down for say 15 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and then let go gently, you can now adjust the knob to set the heat required. As I said it's simple so if it gets to hot you turn the fire down, theres no thermostat to adjust it automatically. NOW A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE. these fires have two steel pipes leading up to the gas valve and back down to the burner. It is most important you check the condition of these pipes UNDER THE FLOOR before you try and light the fire, being steel they rot and can get into a very dangerous state. ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to join the 'CARVER QUESTIONS' discussion and ask a new question, click on any 'reply to this message' within that discussion and your question will then appear on the last page.

So no spark, the common problem is a loose battery holder, the first thing to try is get a small screw driver and push it between the battery hold itself and the plastic clip that holds it in. This will push the holder and the batteries within into better contact with their connections and often cures the problem. If it does a bit of cardboard to make a wedge and replace the screwdriver gets it working perfectly. ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to join the 'CARVER QUESTIONS' discussion and ask a new question, click on any 'reply to this message' within that discussion and your question will then appear on the last page.
I have read somewhere that it is possible to convert back to the MK 2 system by changing the inlet housing and buying a new pump to fit the MK 2 system. Is this all that I need or is there more to it?
You need said adaptor, mk2 filter housing complete with filter and finally a 12mm push fit elbow to connect your pipework. If your interested I do all as a kit, contact direct for further details ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to join the 'CARVER QUESTIONS' discussion and ask a new question, click on any 'reply to this message' within that discussion and your question will then appear on the last page.

The switch is behind a 'finger' of plastic which has raised edges as a guide and only moves a millimetre or two ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to join the 'CARVER QUESTIONS' discussion and ask a new question, click on any 'reply to this message' within that discussion and your question will then appear on the last page.
So three possibles; The flame is not as good as you think it is so the control switch does not recognise the flame is lit and shuts down. The flame is correct so gives the correct signal but the control switch is faulty so it still shuts down. The flame and switch are ok but the connection between is faulty, the signal is on the yellow wire and a good earth on the black wire is also critical. ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to join the 'CARVER QUESTIONS' discussion and ask a new question, click on any 'reply to this message' within that discussion and your question will then appear on the last page.

Yes my husband has tested the concealed box where the batteries are held and there is nothing? I have also tried 2 lots of new batteries too?
I've never had to replace a valve, only replaced a thermocouple if it's valve connection is seized in and had to be destroyed to get it out to save the valve. What I have replaced loads of are the burners, to my mind this is where the problem is. I'm thinking the fine woven gauze inside the 'pepper pot' top of the pilot burners fell down and it's tying to light just on the pepper pot alone in this case the flame will possibly be yellow or at least very unstable? The main burners gauze is favourite to come off, this gauze is spot welded to the top of the burner and comes loose eventually falling off. The pilots though is underneath the top so can fall inside, it depends though how far it falls to just how the flame will be effected If the flames correct though as seen through the sight hole it will be bright blue and dancing gently on the burner top, the gauze just visable in the light of the flame ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to join the 'CARVER QUESTIONS' discussion and ask a new question, click on any 'reply to this message' within that discussion and your question will then appear on the last page.
