THE ELYTE is a gas lantern ignition system by The Coppersmith. It allows you to turn your lantern on and off with a normal wall switch. This eliminates the need to relight lanterns that are located on a lamp post or in high hanging locations. The elyte also automatically relights a gas flame that has been blown out due to severe weather conditions.
The elyte is available for all gas lanterns by The Coppersmith with the exception of the AC15 & GT15 models. It is a patented system that is backed by a one-year warranty.
To install the elyte, you will need to connect it to a 110-volt power source. Once it is installed, you can turn your lantern on and off with the switch that you provide. The elyte will automatically relight the flame if it is blown out.
Ignition Sequence
1. Immediately after the power is turned on, you should hear the igniter sparking wire begin to spark. This sparking will continue for approximately 10 seconds. Then it will stop.
2. If the burner lites, the sparking will stop. If the burner is not lit, the sparking will resume a second time for 10 seconds and stop. This will sequence will repeat three times. If the flame is not lit on the third attempt the ignition system will shut off and need to be re-set. When the igniters shuts off all gas flow is stopped.
3. To re-set the ignition system, simply turn the power supply off and back on again.
4. The ignition sequence will start over again.
