Important: Review ‘Thermo-Safety/Communication-Safety

Features’ under ‘Transmitter Safety Features’ section. These
signal/temperature safety features shut down the fireplace
system when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

Important: Review ‘Auto Shutdown’ section. This safety
feature shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous
operation, in ON mode only .

Important: New batteries are essential for proper opera­tion of the multi-function transmitter. The transmitter oper­ates on 2 AAA-size 1.5V batteries. Use Alkaline batteries
for longer battery life and maximum operational performance.

Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5V batteries into the battery comp art­ment on the back of the transmitter. When the batteries are
correctly inserted, the screen will display numbers (see
Figure 7 for LCD Display Screen).

NOTE: If the transmitter is activated from a very cold condi­tion it may be necessary to allow the transmitter to stabi­lize to room temperature (could take up to 15 minutes) be­fore accurate room temperatures are displayed on the
screen.

NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the
transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the re­mote receiver is in the Remote position. If the system
does not respond to the transmitter on initial use, see
section Matching Security Codes.

1. With the slide switch in the ON position, the system is
on.

2. With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the sys­tem only operates if the remote receiver receives com­mands from the transmitter.

3. With the slide switch in the OFF position, the system is
off.

NOTE: The slide switch should be placed in the OFF posi­tion if you will be away from your home for an extended
period of time. Placing the switch in the OFF position also
functions as a safety “lock out” by turning the system off
and rendering the remote receiver inoperative.

NOTE: LCD screen is equipped with a “backlite” for easier
viewing of LCD screen. Backlite illuminates when a func­tion button is depressed. After 5 seconds elapses, LCD
screen will return to its normal state.

overridden and the system will return to normal operation
depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter.

We recommend the user check the batteries in the TRANS­MITTER to make sure the voltage is no less than 2.7 volts.

Auto Shutdown

This remote control has an Auto Shutdown feature incorpo­rated into its system. When the transmitter MODE is in the
ON position the fireplace will continuously operate for 9 hours.
After 9 hours, the fireplace will shut down. To relight the
fireplace:

1. Press the MODE button.
The transmitter must be positioned within a 20 foot operat-

ing range for the Auto Shut down feature to operate.

TRANSMITTER SAFETY FEATURES

It is recommended that the TRANSMITTERS always be lo­cated within a 20 foot operating range of the fireplace, pref­erably in the same room in which the fireplace system is
located. The TRANSMITTER features several safety features
that alert the user when the TRANSMITTER is placed out­side the 20 foot normal operating range.

Thermo-Safety and Communication-Safety Features

This remote control has both a THERMO-SAFETY and
COMMUNICA TION-SAFETY function built into its software.
It provides an extra margin of safety when the TRANSMIT ­TER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the re­ceiver. It is also activated when the batteries become weak
or are removed from the transmitter.

In the THERMO-SAFETY feature (only in the THERMO or
TIMER modes) the transmitter normally reads the ROOM
temperature every 2 minutes. In addition to checking the
temperature, the transmitter sends a signal to the receiver
indicating that the transmitter and its batteries are still ac­tive.

In the COMMUNICA TION-SAFETY feature, at
in all OPERATING MODES the transmitter sends a signal
every fifteen (15) minutes to the receiver , indicating that the
transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet.

Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 2
minutes (THERMO-SAFETY feature) or 15 minutes (COMMU­NICATION-SAFETY feature), the RECEIVER will begin a 2
HOUR (120 minute) countdown timing function. If during this 2
hour period, the receiver does not receive a signal from the
transmitter, the RECEIVER will shut down the fireplace being
controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a se­ries of rapid “beeps”. Then, after 10 rapid “beeps”, the RE­CEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds
until a transmitter signal is again received. The intermittent 4
second beeping will go on indefinitely until reset.

T o “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system:

1. Press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word
ON must display on the LCD screen. The THERMO­SAFETY and COMMUNICA TION -SAFETY operation is

8. Set the SET temperature to at least 20 F (10 C) below the
room temperature and the system will extinguish. There­after , it should continue to cycle on and off thermost ati­cally approximately every two minutes as the ROOM tem­perature changes, but only when the temperature differ­ential between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at
least 20 F (10 C). The 20 F differential is the factory setting.

Timer Operation

The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or
THERMO mode. Once the fireplace system is in an operat­ing mode, set the countdown timer to turn off in 15 minutes.
The timer function will allow operation to continue until the
“countdown time” on the LCD screen expires. After 15 min­utes elapses, the system should turn off.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Transmitter Wall Bracket

The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the bracket
provided. Locate the bracket on an inside wall sufficiently
far away from direct sources of heat such as a fireplace,
incandescent lighting, or sunlight so it detects ambient room
temperatures, not a single heat source. If the bracket is
installed on a solid wood wall, drill 1/8 inch pilot holes and
install with the screws provided. If it is installed on a plas­ter/wallboard wall, first drill two 1/4 inch holes into the wall,
then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors
flush with the wall, then install the screws provided.

Transmitter Battery Life

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter
should be at least one season. Check batteries annually.
When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver
from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range
has decreased) the batteries should be checked.

Receiver Batteries

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the receiver one
burn season. Replace with 4AA alkaline batteries at the
beginning of each burn season.

Troubleshooting

433.92MHZ

To check the operation of the remote:

1. Make sure receiver batteries are installed properly. If one
battery is installed backward, receiver will not operate in
remote mode. Be sure battery output is 5.3 volts or more.
(Slide switch is independent of battery condition).

2. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed
and that the battery output is 2.7V or more.

3. Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating
with the receiver.

• If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is de-

pressed on the transmitter they are communicating.

• If the receiver does not beep when the MODE button

is depressed on the transmitter go to Matching Secu­rity Codes.

4. Make sure the transmitter is within the 20 feet range of
the receiver.

5. Positioning of the receiver is important. If the receiver is
“enclosed” in a metal surround, the operation of the re­ceiver may be affected as noted below . Reposition the
receiver to improve operating range. It is suggested that
a heat shield be installed to protect the receiver from
extreme heat. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal
surround, this can:

• Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communi­cate with the receiver.

• Cause the working distance to be shorter than nor­mal.

NOTE: A receiver located in an area, where the ambient
temperature inside the case exceeds 1300 F, will cause
the THERMO-SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to
reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to
“reset” the receiver’s operation.
