OVERVIEW
This system is intended to.provide a flame special effect. As with all potentially
dangerous special effects, the operator should be in full view of the burner device at all
times during operation.
The system consists of: a burner control panel, a burner head, and the interconnecting
hose and cables. Each of these parts will be discussed in detail on following pages.
Basic setup:
inspect the entire system to make sure that no damage has occurred since its
last use
place the control panel at the operator firing position
place the burner head in its desired location
place the propane tank in its desired location
connect the control cable from the control panel to the burner head
connect the ESTOP valve cable to the control panel
connect the regulator to the propane tank fitting (NOTE: propane tanks use left -
handed threads)
connect the hose from the burrier head to the ESTOP valve. (NOTE: A small
ball valve located on the quick - connect fitting prevents the hose from being
attached or detached while the valve is open. Close valve to attach the hose.)
open the tank's supply valve
open all of the manual isolation valves (One on the burner head and one on the
quick - connect fitting.)
check for leaks before proceeding!!!!
connect the control panel to 120VAC, 60Hz supply
check and set the gas supply regulator for your operating pressure
arm the system
check for leaks again before proceeedingl!
test fire the main flame
reset the operating pressure, if needed
check for leaks one more timellll

I SAFETY
Every effort must be made.to prevent propane gas leakage. Leaks can be detected by
several means. A rich soap- and -water solution can be sprayed directly on the gas
connections; any bubbles or foam creation indicates a leak. Commercially available
electronic leak detectors can be used also. Any leaks must be repaired immediately.
For assistance, please contact Sigma Services, Inc.
WARNING Fire or explosion hazard can cause property damage, severe injury,
or death. If you smell gas or..suspect.a leak, turn off the gas at the manual supply
valve. Do not introduce a source of ignition or touch any electrical switch or
telephone until you are sure that no spilled gas remains present.
In all applications, you should insure that any materials in close proximity to the burner
head do not reach high temperature from the radiant heat. This is most easily achieved
through the use of a non - contact infrared temperature probe. These are available from
many commercial supply stores.
An approved fire extinguisher must be present at all times when fuel gas is present.
This system is designed to provide short duration flame effects. The most frequently
used effects are "bursts" of 1- second duration. While longer burn times are possible,
the FireFly should never be fired for more than 10 minutes without a cool -down period.
The DragonFly System can be used indoors or outdoors. Special care must be taken to
prevent the control panel and burner head from getting wet. If these components get
wet, disconnect them from electrical power and the propane tank. The control panel
should then be opened and allowed to dry before use. If the Intermittent Pilot Module
in the burner head) gets wet, it MUST be replaced.
CAUTION: Burner head will be very HOTIII Allow it to cool before handling, packagingrorplacingincloseproximitytoflammablematerials.

WARNING Electrocution hazard can cause serious injury or death. Do NOT
touch the spark terminal. The ignition circuit generates over 10,000 volts and
electrical shock can result.

CONTROL PANEL
NOTE: A clean, stable source of sine wave AC is needed. Some GFI outlets will trip
when this system is in the ignition sequence. Some small generators supply abnormal
waveforms that will not work with this system.
The control panel houses operational electrical components and status indicator lights.
This flame system is monitored by a Honeywell Intermittent Pilot ModuleTM and its
related parts. The Honeywell, monitors system status and proves a solid pilot before
arming the main flame firing circuit. It receives feedback from the burner head via a
rectification sensor to determine whether or not it is safe to proceed with the effect.
The ARMED light indicates the Honeywell, has detected a flame at the burner head
and has armed the main flame firing circuit. NOTE: Flame detection is via a rectification
sensor in the burner head's pilot assembly. (The ARMED indication may be via green
lights on the individual FIRE buttons).
The EMERGENCY-STOP (E-STOP)* button provides you a means to stop the entire
flame effect system in the event of an emergency. Pushing this button will disconnect
the electrical power from the tank mounted E -STOP valve and the flame circuits
including the ignition, pilot and main flame gas valves. A key is required to disengage
the Emergency Stop switch. This provides a means to "lock" the system when not in
use. To disengage the Emergency Stop switch, insert the key and turn it, then pull the
button out; this will return the system to, a ready state. Note: Hazardous live voltage is
still accessible inside the control panel when the Emergency Stop button is pressed.
The ARM switch energizes the ARM circuit telling the Honeywell to attempt to establish
a pilot flame. Once a pilot is established and detected, the main flame firing circuit is
armed and the ARMED light will illuminate on the control panel. Whenever the ARMED
rlight illuminates, the FIREFLY can be fired by pushing the momentary fire button(s).
NOTE: All indicators should be checked periodically to insure proper working order.
The system will still fire the effect with a defective indicator. A defective indicator should
be replaced immediately.

BURNER HEAD
The burner head houses the Honeywell Intermittent Pilot Module, the pilot valve, the
main flame valve, the pilot assembly, and the rectification flame detector.
During the arming sequence, the Honeywell creates a high voltage spark on the pilot
assembly. The pilot valve is energized and a solid pilot flame should be established.
The rectification sensor will detect the pilot flame and report back to the Honeywell that
a solid pilot has been established. Upon detection of a solid pilot flame, the main flame
firing circuit is armed. Only then can main flame fuel be issued.
The burner head is supplied with a basic flame effect nozzle. Other types of flame
burners are available, depending.on your application. Contact Sigma Services, Inc. to
discuss your options.
HOSES
These are specialized gas hoses and'must not be used-for anything else. Periodic
inspection of the hoses and replacement of defective units is mandatory. Care must be
taken to protect the hoses from physical,: thermal or chemical damage. Integral to the
hose system, is the pressure regulator: The setting of this regulator determines the
operating pressure of the entire system, with.a maximum of 100 psi. In general, more
pressure makes bigger.and hotter flame effects. At about 70 psi, the system will
produce the largest flame it is capable'of producing. Increasing pressure beyond 70 psi
will not necessarily increase the flame .height. You should use the lowest pressure
setting that will achieve the desired effect. For operation beyond the aforementioned
pressure range, or for additional or replacement hoses please contact Sigma Services,
Inc.
CABLES
The multi -pin cables connect the burner head and the E -STOP valves to the control
panel. They are keyed so they can only be plugged in correctly. Take precautions to
prevent these cables from getting damaged. Any damaged cables must be repaired or
replaced immediately. For replacement cables or extension cables, please contact
Sigma Services, Inc.

FUEL SOURCE
The fuel source for the DragonFly system is propane vapor. This can be drawn from
many different sizes of propane tanks. The most common tank size is a 20 -pound tank
most frequently used in residential barbecue grills. Other sizes will work, however.
Some venues will request that you limit the propane supply inside the building to 5
pounds. For this usage, a 5 -pound tank can be obtained from many sources, including
camping supply stores. Keep the propane tank away from sources of heat. As the tank
heats up, the vapor pressure of the propane inside rises. The relationship between
temperature and pressure is illustrated on a graph in the technical section of this
manual.

STRIKING THE SYSTEM
After using the system, you must render it safe before packing it or leaving it
unattended:
First, the hoses and valve train must be drained of the remaining fuel. Turn off
the tank valve, arm the system, and fire it until the flame has consumed all of the
remaining gas.
Second, disable the system electrically. Depress the ESTOP button and
remove the key. Disconnect the system from electrical power. Disconnect the
cables from the control panel.
Third, remove the fuel source. -Disconnect the hoses and the propane tank and
store in an approved location.
CAUTION: Burner head will be very HOTIII Allow it to cool before handling,
packaging or placing in close proximity to flammable materials.
REPAIR and MAINTENANCE
This system should only be repaired by Sigma Services, Inc. personnel. No repair
services can be affected by non - qualified personnel. The only maintenance that is
required is a periodic inspection /cleaning of the system components. A soft cloth and
mild cleaner can be used for this purpose.
