MATCHING SECURITY CODES
It may be necessary to program the remote receiver
to the security code of the transmitter upon initial use,
if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer. To program the remote receiver:
1. Set the slide button on the receiver to the REMOTE
position.
2. Push the LEARN button (one beep will be heard)
on the top of the remote receiver.
3. Then press the MODE button on the transmitter.
Several beeps indicate the transmitter’s code has
been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new transmitter, the
new security code will overwrite the old one. NOTE:
When the LEARN button is depressed, “beeping”
sounds should be heard. If no “beeping” is heard
check to see that the receiver has 110-120VAC
power to it.
If you are unsuccessful in matching the security code
on the first attempt, wait 1-2 minutes before trying
again.

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 Auto Shutdown signal comes from the transmitter.
The transmitter must be positioned within a 20 foot operating range for the Auto Shutdown feature to operate.
SYSTEM CHECK
Communication-Safety Features
This remote control has a COMMUNICATION-SAFETY
function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when the TRANSMITTER 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-UPDATING 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 COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature, at all times
and 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
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

main gas flame should ignite.
5. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to OFF.
The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH
extinguish.
6. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change
the system to THERMO.
7. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to
temperature of at least 20 F (10 C) above the room
temperature displayed on the LCD screen and the
system flame will ignite.
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 thermostatically 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”
pilot holes and install with the screws provided. If it is
installed on a plaster/wallboard wall, first drill two 1/4”
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.
Battery Life
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. 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.
