  • Download the .cmm firmware file from Pro-face.
  • Place it on an SD card root directory.
  • On the GP-4402WW: Boot to Offline Mode (tap screen during startup) → "Maintenance" → "Update System Program".
  • Heat Output: It glows a bright, intense orange/red and reaches ignition temperature rapidly. It is rated for 120V AC input (though the universal nature handles various voltage nuances well).
  • Reliability: Once installed, it solves the issue of a furnace that cycles without lighting or a furnace that attempts to spark/glow but fails to ignite the gas.

The GP-4402WW requires a specific version range of the GP-Pro EX editor to function correctly:

Recommendation: Always enable "Project Backup" in the Transfer Tool. This saves a compressed copy of the project inside the HMI's internal memory, allowing you to "Upload" from the HMI back to your PC if you lose the original source file.
