The AWS electronic ignition system can turn a standard fire pit burner into a certified electric ignition system operated by a remote control. The system includes a plug in transformer that can be plugged into an outdoor groundfault 120V/15A outlet. The valve system connects to a fire pit burner. A pilot assembly ignites the burner flame. The pilot assembly also is a safety feature as it has a flame sensor. If the unit does not sense flame, it will try to reignite. If it cannot, it will shut down.
