ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING OPTIONS SWING

The thermo-transmitter operates the fireplace system whenever the
ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the
SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of a
fireplace system may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the
room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. A smaller “swing
number” increases the number of cycles so the room temperature is
more constant. A larger “swing number” decreases the number of
cycles, which saves energy, in most cases. The factory setting for the
“swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2

0

C) between SET temperature and ROOM temperature which

F (1
determines when the fireplace will be activate. The “SWING” number
values are:

1= +/- 1

0

F (.5 0C ), 2= +/- 2 0 F (1 0C ), 3 = +/-3 0 F (1.6 0C ).

1. To change the temperature “SWING” setting (1-3), press the AHEAD + BACK buttons simultaneously to display the current “SWING”

setting in the SET TEMP frame. The word SWING will display on the LCD screen.

1. Press the UP or DOWN button to change the temperature differential or “SWING” (1-3). See above for 1-3 “SWING” temperature values.

2. To store the “swing number”, press the SET/RETURN button or allow 15 seconds to lapse, and the new “swing number” will be
automatically programmed.

MANUAL CHECK OF “SWING” OR TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL

The operation of the factory set “THERMO SWING” can be checked by adjusting the SET TEMP 2
This will cause the system to turn ON or OFF. Normally the system will only respond to temperature changes every two minutes. Manually
changing the SET temperature will activate the system in less than 10 seconds. If the “SWING” is changed, then a new room temperature
differential will respond. Factory setting of SWING temperature is 2

OPERATING SAFETY MONITORS: SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN

The HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES remote control operates on RF (radio frequency) signals that are sent by the TRANSMITTER
(remote) to the RECEIVER that operates the appliance. It is recommended that the TRANSMITTER always
operating range, preferably in the same room in which the appliance is located.

THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)

This HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES remote control has a THERMO UPDATING feature built into its software. The THERMO
UPDATING feature operates in the following manner, but only in the THERMO and PROGRAM MODES

The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature then
sends a signal to the receiver.

COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)

This HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES series 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 feet operating range of the receiver.

The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES

At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF 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,
the IC software, in 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” 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 a transmitter signal is again received. 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 operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button on the
transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the
COMMUNICATION SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal operation
depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter. The COMMUNICATION SAFETY feature will
reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range or should the transmitter’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 fully charged batteries are essential for proper
operation of the remote receiver.

The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from
the transmitter 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 operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF.

7

• With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or
REMOTE position.

• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the
transmitter.

• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the system is 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 period of

time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a
safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off and rendering the remote receiver inoperative.

THERMO-SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)

This HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES remote control has a THERMO-SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This
feature is temperature-activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed

0

F degrees inside the receiver case.

130

The THERMO-SAFETY feature in the RECEIVER operates in the following manner when the appliance is in operation.

The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have a negative effect on the operation of the receiver’s
microprocessors.

For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when
temperatures exceed 115

0

F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 1150 F, can lose up to
50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will
reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.

When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130
shut down the appliance and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 4 “beeps”, every 2 seconds. When the ambient
temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120

THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the fireplace will begin operating again. However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient
temperature remains between 1200 F and 1300 F. This “beeping” alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the
ambient temperature drops below 120

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely before
attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modifications of the HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES
remote control or any of its components will void the warrant and may be pose a fire hazard.

Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions
and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s specifications.

The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or electronic
module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve
and remote receiver.

WARNING

V

INSTALLATION

The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Preferably, the
remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from both the heat produced by
the gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left exposed on the hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS
VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 120
inside the receiver case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.

Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18 gauge stranded wires (not included) be used to make
connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module and the wire terminals on the remote receiver.
For the best results, use 18 gauge stranded wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.

WALL MOUNTING

Install 4 AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance,
remote receiver batteries should be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power
is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best
when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an
output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-)

ends facing the correct direction.

HEARTH MOUNT

The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace,
behind the control access panel. Position the ambient temperature inside the
receiver case where it does not exceed 120
NOTE: Black Button is used for Hearth Mount applications.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves
that will be operated by this remote should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring
connections WILL cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module operating the gas
appliance and may also damage the remote receiver.

Decide whether the remote receiver/switch will be installed in a wall mounted, plastic
junction box or in the fireplace.

If mounted in the fireplace, it is important to locate the receiver in the correct location.
A velcro fastener set is attached to the bottom of the Soulstice near the front and to
the left of the valve. Attach the top portion of the velcro to the back center of the
remote receiver. Once installed, the receiver should always be fastened to the velcro
in this location.

TIMER

The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the appliance 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.

If you have any problems with operation, recheck your connections and ensure transmitter batteries are fully charged. If no problem is found,
contact the dealer where you purchased your appliance/remote control.

GENERAL INFORMATION

MATCHING SECURITY CODES

Each transmitter can use one of 1,048,576 unique security codes. It may
code of the transmitter upon initial use
When matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT “LEARN” if the slide switch
is in the ON or OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by pushing in the LEARN button on the top of the
remote receiver and then pressing the MODE button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver, indicates 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.

The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in matching
the security code on the first attempt, wait 1-2 minutes before trying again – this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry –
and try up to two or three more times.

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 ¼” holes into the wall, then use a hammer to tap

CHILDPROOF “LOCK –OUT”

This HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to ‘LOCK –OUT”
operation of the fireplace, from the TRANSMITTER.

: If the fireplace system is already operating in the ON, THERMO or PROGRAM MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the

NOTE

operating MODE. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER
and/or PROGRAM operation will continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the TRANSMITTER’S operating
signals, the transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF.

THERMO FUNCTION

When the transmitter is in the THERMO mode, it should be kept away from direct sources of heat such as fireplaces, incandescent lighting,
and direct sunlight. Leaving the transmitter in direct sunlight, for example, will cause its heat-sensing diode to read the room temperature
higher than it actually is; if in THERMO mode, it may not turn on the appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SET
temperature.

BATTERY LIFE

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Replace all 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) or the remote receiver
does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged and providing
continuous output voltage of at least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and gas valve directly affects the operating
performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and
the gas valve. Recommended length is no longer than 20 feet. The transmitter should operate with as little as 5.0 volts battery power.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Should you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the HEARTH &
HOME TECHNOLOGIES remote control. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly
made. Then check the operation of the HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES remote in the following manner:

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 5.0 V or more.

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

• If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter they are communicating.

• If the receiver does not beep when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter, you will need to teach the receiver the code of

the transmitter. This is done by holding the LEARN button down on the receiver (NOTE: Slide button, White or Black, covers the
Learn access hole when installed), and at the same time depress the MODE button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping
pattern, at the receiver indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver.

4. Make sure the transmitter is within the 15 ft-20 ft 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”

• 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 130
feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to “reset” the receiver’s operation.

6. Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and heat conditions to the receiver,
some units may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication and operating
distance between the transmitter and the receiver. See RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT.

SETTING “LOCK-OUT” – (CP)

1. To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the UP and
TIMER buttons, together, for 5 seconds. The letters CP will appear
in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.

2. To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the UP and TIMER
buttons, together for 5 seconds or more, and the letters CP will
disappear from the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its
normal operating condition.

RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: The Slide Button, White or Black, covers the ADJ access hole when

installed.

A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the

adjustment screw counter-clockwise about 5 degrees, and 1/8 turn. This
should correct the distance problem.

B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original

position and then turn adjustment screw 5 degrees clockwise.

This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment
screw, in either direction, you will go past the proper setting (tuning).
