INTRODUCTION
This ECS’s remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transm itter. The system operates on radi o fr equencies
(RF) withi n a 20'’range using non-directional signals. The system operat es one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into
the transmit ter at the factory; the remote recei ver’s code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initi al use.
Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and THERMO SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE
RECEIVER section. These signal /temperature safety feat ures shut down the fireplace syst em when a potent ially unsafe condition exists.
WALL MOUNT THERMOSTAT

lighter s. Bef ore using the transmitter the 3V batteries must be installed into the battery
compartments.
It is recommended t hat CR2032 l it hium batteries always be used for longer battery life and
maximum operational performance.
Upon initial use, there may be a delay of five seconds before the rem ote receiver will respond to
the transmit ter. This is part of the system’s design. If the LCD screen will not come on, check the
3V Button Cell battery.

TO REMOVE THE BATTERIES IN THE WIRELESS THERMOSTAT
1. Remove face from backing pl ate this is done by sliding t he face up about 1/2” then pull the face off the base plate. As shown in
Figure #1
2. Locate the (2) holders for the 3V button cell batteries.
3. Insert a small screwdriver into the slot above the button cell battery and push the batt ery out. AS shown in Figure #2

THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This ECS remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature buil t into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the
following manner, but only in the THERMO MODE
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperat ure every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperat ure against the SET temperature
and then sends a signal to the receiver.
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This ECS remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY funct ion built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when
the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20 foot oper ati ng range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the followi ng manner, in all OPERATING MODES
At all times and in all OPERATIN G MODES, the wall tr ansm itter sends an RF signal every fift een (15) minutes, to the receiver,
Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal ever y 15 minut es, the IC software, in the RECEIVER, will begin a 2HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If during this 2-hour period, the receiver does not receive a signal from the
wall transmitt er, the receiver will shut down the appliance being controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a
series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the RECEIVER will continue to
emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until the ON button on the wall tr ansm itter is pressed to reset the receiver. The
intermittent 4 second beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operat e the appl iance, you must press ON button on the wall transm itter. The flame icon must
be display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overr idden and the
system will return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the wall transmitter. The COMMUNICATION –
SAFETY feature will r eacti vate if the transmitt er’ s batteries fail or be removed.

REMOTE RECEIVER
The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life
and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or full y charged batteries are essenti al for proper operation of the
remote re c e iv e r.
The remote receiver houses the microprocessor t hat responds to commands from the transmi tter to control system operation. It emits
one beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling on and off automatically in THERMO mode.
The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operati on: ON/REMOTE/OFF
• With the sli de swit ch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button) , the system will
remain on until the sl ide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (center ed), the system will only operate if
the remote recei ver receives commands from the tra n s mitter.
• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN
off.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the off position if you will be away from
your home for an extended per iod of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of
children’s reach, placing the slide swi tch in the OFF position also funct ions as a safety
“lock-out” by bot h turning the system off and rendering the remote recei ver
inoperative.
THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This ECS remote control has a THERM O- SAFETY feat ure that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. Thi s feat ure is temperatureactivated and pr ovides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER i s operat ing where ambient temperatures exceed 130
degrees inside t he receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operat es in t he following manner, when the appliance i s in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extrem e heat conditions. Heat can have negati ve eff ect on the operation of the
receiver’ s microprocessors.
For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditi ons can cause batteries to discharge when
temperatures exceed 115
lose up to 50% of their operat ing power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge it self , but constant heating and
cooling will r educe the battery’s normal life expectancy.
