Power your small to medium outdoor fire features effortlessly with the upgraded Plug & Play Ignition System (Mini Capacity) from The Outdoor Plus. Built for setups up to 195,000 BTU/hr, this compact, high-efficiency 110V electronic ignition system delivers dependable, commercial-grade flame management for custom fire pits, bowls, and outdoor features.
Designed to stand up to harsh weather, it's the right choice for pool-adjacent fire features and code-compliant outdoor installations where consistent ignition and advanced safety monitoring actually matter. Simply plug it into a GFCI outlet and enjoy consistent performance.
Direct Replacement & Upgrade
This unit (TOP-500EIS-100-30DC-110V) is the official replacement and upgraded model for the discontinued 12V AC version (TOP-500EIS-100-110-H). It adds enhanced 30V DC power delivery, improved potted control electronics for weatherproofing, and robust LED diagnostics.
Key Features
- Built for the outdoors. The control module is fully sealed to protect electronics from rain, humidity, and temperature swings — rated for -20°F to 175°F. Your fire feature works in January, not just July.
- Fast, dependable flame sensing. The nickel-plated thermocouple responds quickly and resists wind and rain better than standard flame sensors — so ignition holds even when the weather doesn't cooperate.
- Commercial-grade safety and diagnostics. Built-in LED codes help troubleshoot in the field. If internal temperatures climb past 175°F, the system shuts off automatically.
- Works with your smart home. Compatible with automated pool controllers, home automation hubs, light switches, wireless remotes, and dial timers.
- Zero hardwiring required. The built-in transformer plugs directly into a standard GFCI outlet, making installation faster and easier than low-voltage alternatives.

- Built-in GFCI requirement. The power cord must be plugged into a GFCI outlet for safety. Do not use a standard non-GFCI outdoor outlet.
- The heat shield must be installed between the burner pan and the valve box. This prevents thermal shutdown and protects your warranty.
- Do not remove or bypass the built-in transformer. The control box requires 30V DC power.
Step-by-Step Installation Video
Watch the official walkthrough from The Outdoor Plus. (Note: While this video demonstrates the Low Voltage version, the mechanical installation—mounting the valve box, installing the heat shield, and connecting the pilot—is identical. Your Plug & Play unit simply features a built-in transformer instead of a separate box.)
Note: Gas plumbing and electrical work should be performed by a licensed professional or NFI Certified Gas Specialist in accordance with local codes.
