The AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) is the industry’s leading fire feature ignition solution—and the very foundation of Fire by Design. Built for commercial-grade performance, this fully automated ignition system delivers unmatched reliability and safety in any climate. Whether you’re designing a simple backyard bowl or a large-scale architectural fire installation, the AWEIS provides consistent ignition, wind resistance, and intelligent flame monitoring in a compact and easy-to-install unit. Available in three capacity options and multiple power configurations, it’s the gold standard for fire feature control.

Features

• Commercial-grade ignition system with proven industry reliability
• Available in Standard (290K BTU), High (510K BTU), and Extra High (1.1M BTU) capacities
• Field-serviceable and easy to install in new or retrofit applications
• Integrated flame sensing, wind resistance, and safety shutoff
• Power options: 24VAC, 30VDC, or 120VAC (single unit only)
• Compatible with Natural Gas or Liquid Propane
• Multiple pilot burner lengths available (12″ / 18″ / 24″ / 30″ with extensions)

Specifications

Each AWEIS model includes a Commercial Grade Pilot Burner Assembly (CGPBA), ignition control module, heat deflector shield, and install instructions. Available in several capacities to meet different fire feature sizes and flame requirements. All systems are weather-resistant and built for long-term performance in exposed environments.

BTU Capacity Options:

• Standard Capacity: 290,000 BTU – Ideal for small to mid-sized features
• High Capacity: 510,000 BTU – Suitable for large bowls and fire pits
• Extra High Capacity: 1.1 Million BTU – For extra-large or high-demand installations (24VAC only)

Power Options:

• 24VAC (Transformer included)
• 30VDC (Power supply sold separately)
• 120VAC (adapter required; powers only 1 AWEIS)

Gas Compatibility:

• Natural Gas
• Liquid Propane

Pilot Burner Options:

• Standard sizes: 12″, 18″, 24″, 30″
• Extensions available for custom lengths

Daisy Chaining

For multi-feature installations, AWEIS units can be daisy-chained to share power from a single source. This is a convenient option for projects with multiple fire bowls, allowing for synchronized ignition while minimizing wiring complexity. However, to preserve performance and comply with Fire by Design’s warranty, daisy chaining is limited to a maximum of three (3) AWEIS units per chain.

• 24VAC and 30VDC versions support daisy chaining
• Each unit requires 50VA—ensure your power supply is rated accordingly
• Max of 3 AWEIS units can be chained together
• 120VAC adapters do not support daisy chaining—one unit max
