IFT-RC400 & IFT-ACM
IntelliFire Touch® Remote Control & Auxiliary Control Module
Installation Instructions
Leave this manual with party responsible for use
and operation.
1. Introduction
The IntelliFire Touch Remote Control (IFT-RC400) is
a hand-held wireless device that is designed to control
the functions of Hearth & Home Technologies products
equipped with IntelliFire™Touch technology. It can be
used to control the ame ON/OFF, ame height, cold climate and programmable timer functions of a appliance.
The IFT-RC400 is also equipped with a temperature sensor which allows it’s use as a thermostat to set the desired
room temperature.
The IntelliFire Touch auxiliary control module (IFT-ACM)
is included in this kit. The ACM is an AC powered device
that controls peripheral devices such as lights, fans and
Power Vents approved for use in Hearth & Home Technologies products that are equipped with IntelliFire Touch
technology. It is connected to and controlled by the IntelliFire Touch Electronic Control Module (IFT-ECM).

F. Brand/Dealer Programming Procedure
This procedure allows the dealer to select the brand input
and dealer information for the consumer’s use.
The contact information will be accessible to the consumer
through the “Dealer Info” screen on the secondary menu.
It is also displayed automatically in the event of an issue
with the appliance or as a maintenance reminder.
To access these selections and program your contact
information, please follow these steps.
1. Insert batteries into the IFT-RC400. Wait for a beep to
conrm the remote is on.
2. Locate the programming hole on the back side of the
remote. It is marked as “P” on the right side above the
battery cover as shown in Figure 5.
3. Using a paper clip or similar item, press and release
the programming button. This sequence must be done
while the screen is illuminated.
4. Select your choice of product brand from the list on the
IFT-RC400 screen. See Figure 7.
5. Enter the name of the dealer or service company that
will service this customer by entering the name on the
screen.
6. Enter the telephone number that the customer will use
to contact the service company or dealer.
7. A “splash” screen will appear showing the brand you
selected. “MAIN MENU” will appear next, indicating
that the programming process is complete.
Note: The screen will time out after 7 seconds if a selection
is not made. If this occurs, return to step 2 to access the
selections and continue the programming process.
G. Pairing the IFT-RC400 to the Electronic Con-
trol Module (IFT-ECM)
Note: The display will remain illuminated if you hold a
nger on the screen. When you are ready to
make your next selection, you must remove your
nger and then continue with your next selection.
CAUTION! Risk of Burns! DO NOT program the IFT
Remote Controls to the IFT-ECM when ame or cold
climate function is on or when appliance is hot.
• If adding a new IFT-RC400 to the appliance, follow the
steps in Section F.a.
• If IFT-RC400 is currently paired to IFT-ECM, and add ing ACM or other optional accessory feature(s), follow
the steps in Section F.b.
Note: If additional components are added such
as blowers, lights or Power Vent after initial
pairing, the pairing process must be repeated
again to detect additional components.
a. Pairing new IFT-RC400 to Electronic
Control Module (IFT-ECM)
1. On the IFT-ECM, move the ON/OFF/REMOTE switch to
the REMOTE position. The green LED will blink three
times. A few seconds later, an audible “beep” will occur
to indicate that the system is ready.
Note: If the green LED continues to blink slowly (system
is searching for a clear channel), wait until it stops before
proceeding to step 2.
2. Locate the pairing hole on the IFT-ECM. See Figure 9.
Using a paper clip or similar item, press and release
the pairing button. The IFT-ECM will “beep” once and
the green LED will blink for 14 seconds. During the 14
seconds, it is normal for accessories such as lights or
fan to energize momentarily.
While the green LED on the IFT-ECM is blinking, tap anywhere
on the gray indicator bar located at the top of the IFT-RC400
screen. Tap on the pairing function as shown in Figure 10. If
the IFT-RC400 has been paired successfully to the IFT-ECM,
a double audible ‘beep” will be heard from the IFT-ECM..
3. If the pairing is unsuccessful, repeat steps 1 & 2.

Note: If additional components are added such
as blowers, lights or Power Vent after initial
pairing, the pairing process must be repeated
again to detect additional components.
NOTICE: Only one IFT-RC400 remote control and one
IFT-RC150 wireless wall switch can be programmed into
an IFT-ECM. To program both an IFT-RC400 and an IFTRC150 to an IFT-ECM, repeat the same steps separately
for the IFT-RC400 and the IFT-RC150.
b. Re-Pairing existing IFT-RC400 after add-
ing ACM, blower kit, light kit or powervent
Note: Whenever adding an accessory to an IFT
system, the ECM must be re-paired to
complete the installation.
1. Verify that all the wire connections are complete, and
verify that the ACM is powered by 120V.
2. On the IFT-ECM, move the ON/OFF/REMOTE switch to
the REMOTE position. The green LED will blink three
times. A few seconds later, an audible “beep” will occur
to indicate that the system is ready.
3. Locate the pairing hole on the IFT-ECM. See Figure 9.
Using a paper clip or similar item, press and release the
pairing button. The IFT-ECM will “beep” once and the
green LED blink for 14 seconds. During the 14 seconds, it
is normal for accessories such as lights or fan to energize
momentarily.
4. Touch the screen of the remote. As soon as the main
screen appears, tap on the gray indicator bar on the top
edge of the screen display. Next, immediately tap the
pairing icon as shown in Figure 10. Successful pairing
will be indicated by a double beep from the IFT-ECM.
Note: During re-pairing, some versions of the RC400
may display ‘Now pairing remote to product’
before the being able to reach the diagnostic
menu on remote. This message will impair the
ability to access the pairing ICON button. See
Figure 8.
4. Locate the pairing hole on the IFT-ECM. See Figure 8.
Using a paper clip or similar item, press and release the
pairing button. The IFT-ECM will “beep” once and the
green LED blink for 14 seconds. During the 14 seconds, it
is normal for accessories such as lights or fan to energize
momentarily.
5. After pressing and releasing the pairing button, quickly install
the battery into the RC400.
6. As soon as the main screen appears, tap on the gray
indicator bar on the top edge of the screen display. Next,
immediately tap the pairing icon as shown in Figure 10.
Successful pairing will be indicated by a double beep from
the IFT-ECM.
NOTICE: Only one IFT-RC400 remote control and one
IFT-RC150 wireless wall switch can be programmed into
an IFT-ECM. To program both an IFT-RC400 and an IFTRC150 to an IFT-ECM, repeat the same steps separately
for the IFT-RC400 and the IFT-RC150.

H. LCD Screen Calibration Procedure
This procedure allows the dealer to calibrate the touch
screen, in the event that the screen becomes unresponsive
to touch commands. Depending on the rmware installed
in the RC400, two methods are available to enter screen
calibration mode. Use step 1 and 2 below if the RC400
serial number second alpha character is A to F. Use step
3 and 4 if alpha character is G or later.
1. Remove the battery cover. Remove the batteries.
2. Touch and hold LCD screen while inserting the batteries.
The following screen will display. Continue with steps
4 to 7.
Figure 12. Touch and Release
Figure 11 Performing Touch Screen Calibration
3. With RC400 software versions G and later, screen
calibration can only be activated by the following pro-
cedure:
(a). Install Batteries. Within 1 second after the last
battery is installed, the screen is touched and held.
(If the screen touch starts >1 sec after the batteries
are installed, the screen calibration mode will not
activate).
(c). Hold screen touch continuously for 6 to 8 seconds.
If the screen touch is < 6 sec, the screen calibration
function will not activate; if screen touch is > 8 sec, the
screen calibration will not activate. User must release
the key between 6-8 sec after rst touch.
(d). If done correctly, the Screen calibration function
appears (Figure 11).
4. Touch screen to continue, the screen below will display.
Follow the screen instructions, and touch and release
on the lled circles. For best results, use a stylus. You
will be prompted to repeat this clockwise around the
four corners of the screen.
