MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Special considerations should be made when selecting a location for your heater before installation. The most
important of which should be a location that will serve to be the most functional and useful in providing heat. Suggested
locations would be under an eave, on a wall of an open or partially enclosed patio, or on a fascia. This heater has been
thoroughly tested and certified to function during and after mild rain storms, and during mild wind conditions. Be aware
that by avoiding locations that subject your heater to constant wind or rain exposure will greatly extend the life or
your new heater. Other considerations include its mounting position in relation to combustible materials. Combustible
materials include wood, wood fascia, wood siding, stucco mounted over wood studs, vinyl siding, and drywall. See
installation diagrams that reference mounting distances.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

• Select a location that provides the most functionality.

• Avoid locations that are prone to direct wind or rain exposure.

• This heater provides ample heat and large heat adjustability. It does not have to be located at eye level, as, its high
output will allow a distant location to still be affective.

• Do not mount this heater indoors or in a totally enclosed room. It needs air to breathe and vent.

• Avoid locations that are in close proximity to combustible materials (see illustration diagrams and mounting dis­tances)

• Avoid locations that are so low that the installation could cause danger for those passing by.

• Standard and preferred installation places the gas exit (and vented valve access cover) of the heater on the RIGHT
side. This position places the gas exit and the AC adaptor cord at the REAR of the heater installation. This method is
preferred, not only from a visual standpoint, but allows for slightly less pipe routing, and creates more pivot adjust­ability. There are times where right side hook up is not practical. The left side installation is still acceptable and the
heater will perform equally as well. Simply consider that there will be slightly more gas line routing to perform.

• Do not mount heater within a close proximity to fire sprinklers (4 ft. minimum recommended) to avoid accidental
activation of the sprinklers.

• It is recommended that the AC adaptor be used and the DC battery operation used as a secondary ignition source.
Consider the proximity of the nearest 110V AC GFI grounded power outlet to the location of the heater. The power
cord on the AC adaptor is 24 In. long and plugs directly into the right side wall of the heater. If there is no AC GFI
grounded outlet near the desired installation site then one should be added by a qualified electrician. An outdoor
extension cord can also be used, on a temporary basis, to bring AC power to the adaptor plug location.

CODE REQUIREMENTS

When connecting to a fixed fuel piping system the Installation must be in accordance with local codes, or in the absence
of codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z224 (in Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1 and -B149.2).

If AC power is being routed for AC/DC Transformer hook-up, then the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 shall ap­ply (in Canada the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 Part 1 and Part 2 shall apply)

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

BEFORE YOU START

IMPORTANT NOTES

WHERE’S THE WIND?

When selecting a suitable location, consider important
factors such as exposure to the wind. Caution should be
used when heaters are located in areas with prevailing
winds.

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?

Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because
gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow
and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects heater
performance.

WARNING

SPRINKLERS: This appliance must be located at an appropriate distance away from fire sprinklers (4ft min.
recommended) to avoid accidental activation of sprinkler. Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol must never be used
in fire sprinkler systems where heaters are present, as these substances may become flammable when heated. A
fire sprinkler professional must be consulted when heaters are installed where fire sprinklers are present to insure
that heaters and fire sprinklers are properly integrated. Specific guidelines can be found in NFPA 13 regarding
design and specifications for fire sprinkler systems near heaters.

natural gas (NAT). This heater is dedicated to one of these
two gas types and it is not easily field convertible. It is
critical that the gas you use matches that which the heater
was set up for. You can verify that by checking the rating

plate.

The Rating plate lists model/serial numbers and gas type.

The rating plate is located in the following places:

• Attached to the top of the heater housing

Additionally, each ‘T’ or elbow that is added to the line
can also reduce pressure. This drop in pressure can affect
overall heater performance.

• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer
to “Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run distances for
¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements
may reduce performance of the heater and any other
appliances running on that supply line.

• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible.

• A minimum pipe size of ½” is required for inlet
piping. The supplied exit coupling of this heater is
½”NPT (female). A ½” lever-handled, manual gas
shut-off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the
appliance to allow emergency gas shut-off and provide
isolation for servicing.

• Inside the valve compartment, behind the access cover

Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the heater on any
gas other than that for which the heater has been set.

Water Column Requirements

It is important that the inlet gas piping system be size
properly for the gas appliance that it serves. Please use the
above chart for verification of the Gas Inlet Pressure
required for this product.

NATURAL AND LP GAS

All gas connections must be made by a qualified
technician, specifically trained in the installation
of this type of gas appliance. Some states or
provinces require this trained personnel be licensed.
Installations must be performed in accordance with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the
regulations governed by that state or provincince.
To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas suppply
line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU
requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that will be
connected to that line.

• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily
accessible location by a qualified plumber.

• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice.

• All gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed
with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior
to use, the gas supply line should be checked for leaks
by applying a mild solution of soap and water. Never
use an open flame to check for leaks. See section titled
‘Checking for Gas Leaks’ on page 17.

•

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a pressure tap built into the
valve system used on the Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater.
To access this tap, remove the 2 screws which hold the
louvered plate on the END CAP of the heater. Remove this
plate and look for the 2 smaller, slotted, brass screws. The
uppermost screw is the OUTLET pressure (as seen when the
heater is pointed downward). The lower screw is the INLET
pressure. To access either inlet for taking measurements,
turn the screw until it becomes loose. It will not fall out, as,
it is captivated in the valve. Be sure to re-tighten screw after
pressure measurements have been taken (see pg 29).

10

A typical gas supply line might consist of ½” piping
beginning at the gas supply source. This line will be routed,
within the shortest possible distance, up to the vicinity of
the heater location (30 Ft. MAX). This line, as previously
mentioned, willhave a ½” lever- handled gas shut-off
valve installed in-line, and within 6-feet of the termination
point. After final heater positioning and mounting angle is
created, the pipe line is then routed directly to the ½” NPT
(female) coupling at the end of the heater. As an alternate
to this installation, after the gas line has been routed to
the vicinity of the heater, and after final positioning and
pivot angle has been determined, a short gas flex line can
be installed from the end of the hard pipe to the ½” NPT
(female) coupling on the heater. This flex line should be
1/2” I.D. (5/8” O.D.), Stainless Steel, with ½”MIP fittings at
both ends. A ½” FIP coupling will then be used to connect
the flex line to the hard pipe. The use of this flex line allows
for additional angle (pivot) adjustment of the heater after
installation has been complete.

GAS LINE PURGING

You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to
light the heater.

• Slowly turn on the main gas supply.

• With the gas on, loosen one connection near the
heater until you either ‘hear’ gas or ‘smell gas’. Tighten
connection immediately. This should purge the remaining
air from the lines.

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE HEATER

Initial mounting considerations have been discussed, and now it’s time commit your placement theory into
motion. Consider the following pieces of information to help you through: The Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater is
made from the finest materials available- heavy gauge stainless steel. As a result, this heater is heavy- It weighs
around 50 pounds and must be mounted securely. The ‘100 pound rule’ should be followed, whereas, it must be
mounted such that the anchors will support at least 100 pounds, or it may be considered a ‘suspension hazard’.

FAILURE TO INSTALL THE HEATER IN SUCH A MANNER MAY CAUSE THE HEATER TO FALL, RESULTING IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH. ADDITIONALLY, LOCAL CODES REGARDING HEAD CLEARANCE
REQUIREMENTS MUST BE OBSERVED.

Each mounting bracket is provided with (4) mounting holes. A quantity of (8) 5/16 x 1/1-2” Stainless lag bolts have
been provided for installation. If mounting into solid wood, for example, an eave joist , then only 2 holes (front to
back holes) per bracket need to be used (the inside holes nearest the vertical wall). Otherwise, use all (4) holes per
bracket. If mounting into a ‘hollow surface’, for example, stucco over wallboard and studs, , then 5/16” anchors, that
are appropriate for the mounting surface ,must be used (not provided).The distance between the outermost holes
of the mounting brackets, across the heater length , is 48”. This distance is intended to accommodate standard roof
joist spacing of 24” O.C. The distance between the innermost holes of the mounting brackets is 45-1/2”. The short
distance between the holes (side to side) on each mounting bracket is 1-1/4”. The long distance (front-to back) is
4-1/2” between the holes. See illustration.

12

INSTALLATION...continued

EAVE FASCIA MOUNTING

Important Note!

Use only the mounting brackets provided with this
heater. Heater must be installed in a horizontal
manner parallel with the ground. The heater can,
however, be tilted upward to a maximum of 30
degrees. NEVER mount the heater on a vertical
axis. Such an installation is considered unsafe and
will void all warranties.

If the heater will be mounted on the fascia of an eave,
then the heater shall be mounted with the brackets in the
EXTENDED position only. The heater shall be mounted
in either the straight down position, or angled upward
to a maximum of 30 degrees AWAY from the house.
CAUTION: DO NOT MOUNT HEATER FACING TOWARD
the house. This position would allow exhaust heat to be
directed toward the combustible surfaces. It is important
to note that when mounting on a fascia the lower pivot
mounting screw (normally located within the curved slot)
will NOT be used.

In all mounting configurations, it is critical to NOT exceed a MAXIMUM pivot angle of 30 degrees. When using this
mounting configuration, since the lower pivot bolt will not be used, the maximum angle control slot will also not be
used.

The maximum 30 degree pivot angle can be determined by sighting the angled surface near the top of the heater.
When this surface is parallel with the ground, the heater is at 30 degrees ( See illustration on page 9). When mounting
on a fascia, NO PORTION OF THE HEATER SHALL BE CLOSER THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE FASCIA SURFACE.

MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY

INSTALLATION...continued

Locate and assemble the mounting brackets based on
your pre-determined mounting distance to the ceiling
(14” if mounting flat, 18” if mounting at an angle). Slide
the long bracket extension INSIDE the main mounting
bracket until the intended set of holes align. The entrance
slot is at the bottom of the main mounting bracket. For
each bracket, use quantity (2) ¼-20 x ½” Hex Bolts (pro­vided).

Carefully insert each screw through the 2 larger holes of
the main mounting bracket and through the lower holes
(for the 14” position), OR through the 2 upper holes (for
the 18” position) of the mounting bracket extension.
Tighten both nuts securely. Snap the decorative cap over
each larger hole of the main mounting bracket. Repeat
for other bracket. See illustration.

After assembling the mounting brackets, they can be
installed in the pre-selected location. The spacing of the
outer-most sets of holes of the mounting brackets is 48”.
The spacing of the inner-most sets of holes is 45-1/2”. See
mounting bracket spacing diagram on page 12. These
numbers are given to you as a reference for planning.
Mount one single mounting bracket first. Choose the side
which may be the closest to a combustible material. This
way it is easier to measure and determine that the exact
minimum clearance is being adhered to. If mounting onto
wood predrill pilot holes using ¼” drill. (If surface is other
than wood, then anchors will be needed - follow instructions
that come with the anchors) If the mounting bracket is
resting entirely on the wood surface mount using all (4) screws
per bracket. It mounting on the edge of a wood joist then use
the 2 holes closest to the vertical wall of the bracket. Install the second bracket 48” from outer-most set of holes on the
first bracket. THIS WILL CREATE A RESULTING DIMENSION OF EXACTLY 49-3/32” BETWEEN THE EXTENSION ARMS
OF THE BRACKET. If not, then re-measure and mark again. Pre-drill and mount the second bracket.

Place the heater into location on the ground directly under the mounting
brackets. Using 2 people, and 2 ladders carefully lift the heater into position.
Place the heater inside the extension arms of the brackets and secure the
heater at both ends, first with (2) ¼-20 x 1” hex head bolts. Mount screws in
the UPPER holes first. Tilt the heater into the pre-determined angular position
(0-30 degrees). Install the second set of ¼-20 x 1” hex head bolts through
the curved slots directly below the first holes. The maximum 30 degree angle
will be achieved when the screw is ‘bottomed out’ at one end of the curved
slot. This angle can also be sited by looking at the angled surface on the back
of the heater. When the angled surface is PARALLEL to the ground (or the
ceiling) the then heater is at 30 degrees. DO NOT MOUNT THE HEATER
MORE THAN 30 DEGREES, as damage can occur to the protective grill. Al­ways use the 2 bolts per side and always use the bottom curved slot for angle
positioning (EXCEPTION- eave fascia mounting does not require bottom bolt
for mounting).

GAS CONNECTIONS

MAKING THE GAS CONNECTONS

Gas connections will vary depending on heater mounting
location selected and the gas type (NG or LP) being used.
See also previous section ‘Gas Supply and Connections’.
Prior to mounting the heater, the gas connections were
considered and an overall routing ‘plan’ was established.
A minimum pipe size of ½” is required for inlet piping. The
supplied exit coupling of this heater is ½”FIP (female). A
½” leaver- handled manual gas shut-off valve should be
installed within 6 feet of the appliance to allow emergency
gas shut-off and provide isolation for servicing.

With the exception of flared fittings, all gas pipe
connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe
compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the gas
supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild
solution of soap and water. Never use an open flame to
check for leaks. See section titled ‘Checking for Gas Leaks’,
page 17.

Run the gas line to the vicinity of the heater. It is
recommended that the gas line be securely fixed to the wall
or mounting surface. WARNING: do not run gas line in a

location that it can be tripped over or in a location that
passes by either the heat output or the exhaust of the
heater. This gas line can now be attached directly to the
heater using a series of elbows and short sections of straight
pipe (nipples), sufficient to lead gas piping from the wall to
the inlet of the heater. The final fitting will be a ½”NPT male
pipe to mount directly into the heater. A 30” Stainless Steel
flexible line ½” I.D. (5/8” O.D.) with ½” MIP (male) fittings at
both ends. A ½” FIP (female) coupling would then be used
to connect the flex line to the hard pipe.

Please note that when gas is hard piped, an external
gas-pressure regulator is not required as the heater is
equipped with an internal, built-in gas-pressure regulator as
part of the gas control valve.

An alternative to the hard pipe installation (NG or LP) is to
use a metal flex hose which mounts directly from the main
gas source and extends directly into the heater inlet. See
illustrations below for installation techniques.

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

GAS CONNECTIONS...continued

DANGER!

To prevent fire or explosion, DO NOT smoke or
allow any potential source of ignition (sparks,
electrical arcing, cell phones, etc.) in the area
while performing a leak test. Leak tests should
be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a
leak test using fire or open flame.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

The following leak test procedure is to be performed on all
newly installed gas pipes, fittings, and connections:

1. Create a soapy solution of 1 part dish soap and 3 parts
water.

and re-assemble the pipes and fittings. If a flexible gas
line is being used to connect the heater to the hard
piping, and the leak is at that section, then be certain
the fitting attached to the heater is the proper ½” MIP
fitting, and the fitting at the other end is also a ½”
MIP fitting used with a ½” coupling to join to the ½”
pipe. Very often, a flex hose such as this is created with
removable fittings at the ends to create the ½” MIP
thread. These removable fittings themselves use a flare
thread, and not a pipe thread.

4. NEVER USE SEALING COMPOUND OR TEFLON TAPE
ON FLARED FITTINGS.

5. Reapply soap solution on all fittings and repeat as
necessary until all leaks have been sealed.

6. If a leak appears at an LP cylinder valve, DO NOT
ATTEMPT to repair it. Shut off the gas immediately.
The only way to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to
replace it.

2. Turn ON the fuel supply.

3. Apply the soap solution by squirt bottle or paint brush
on all connections and fittings.

4. If bubbles appear to ‘grow’ on any of the connections,
you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas
supply.

FIXING A GAS LEAK

1. At the identified point of leakage, assure that the joint
was sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing
tape. If either of these are missing, then the connection
must be unassembled and reassembled with proper
sealing compound.

2. If the connection has the proper sealing compound,
then tighten the fittings further. Re-apply the soap
solution and re-test for gas leaks.

3. If gas leak still exists, then it is recommended that the
entire section of pipe and fittings around the leak be
unassembled. Examine each fitting and assure that
all threads are ‘true’ and that no fittings or pipe have
deformation. If so, replace them with new fittings.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

If the AC adaptor is NOT being used, and it is intended to
run the heater from battery power only, then NO
special electrical connections are needed. Note that this
may require more frequent battery replacements. The AC/
DC output plug, at the right end of the heater, is covered
with the rubber plug that is mounted under the jack.

If the AC adaptor IS being used, the battery
function becomes secondary and an approved, GFI
protected, grounded, 110V AC, OUTDOOR outlet box
and electrical receptacle must be installed within 24 in. of
the AC/DC output plug. This outlet must be installed by a
qualified electrician and must be sheltered from rain, snow,
and ice.

Plug the transformer directly into the GFI protected outlet.
Plug the jack, into the corresponding jack receptacle of
the heater. Secure any loose or dangling wires with tape,
wire ties, or insulated wire staples.

For an alternate to this connection, run an outdoor rated
extension cord from the closest GFI protected 110 V
grounded outlet to the heater. This cord and connection
must be sheltered from the rain and must not be in direct
line with either the heat output of the heater OR the
exhaust gasses exiting the top of the heater. It is
recommended that this cord be secured to the wall ( or
similar structure) with either tape, wire ties or insulated wire
staples. This installation is considered a TEMPORARY
installation.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Wireless Wall Switch-This unit uses (2) pre-installed 3V

Lithium Batteries CR2032. If batteries were not previously
installed, remove the cover by inserting a small screw driver
into one of the slots on the side. Twist the screw driver
slightly to snap open the cover from the body. (do not
attampt to remove the small screws at the bottom). Insert
the provided lithium batteries (Posiitive (+) side up), making
sure the edge of the battery is inserted UNDER the small
battery retaining clip. If the wall switch will be mounted with
the provided screws, then mount into position (while the
cover is still off) at this time. After mounted, snap the cover
back onto the wall switch body. See pictures below.

WIRELESS WALL SWITCH

Select a location for this switch, but do not mount it at
this time. Select a location that is out of reach of children,
and is just LOW enough to be reached by an adult. It is
recommended that the wall switch be mounted near the
heater (within 10 ft) so the heater can both be SEEN and
HEARD during operation of the wall switch. This wall
switch mounts on a flat surface with the mounting screws
provided. Double sided tape (not provided) will also work
for this step.

INITIALIZING THE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE

On the wireless wall switch press the “OFF” button.
Confirm that the red LED flashes. The LED will flash every
time that any of the 4 buttons are pushed. This confirms
that the unit is functioning, and that the button selection
has been confirmed.

Press the ‘ON’ button on the wall switch to confirm. You
will hear ‘clicking’ coming from the heater. Press the ‘OFF’
button immediately and proceed to the next section ‘BASIC
OPERATION OF YOUR HEATER’ page 20. The receiver
is located inside the valve compartment and is accessible
through the louvered plate on the right END CAP of the
heater. If this plate is still off from the battery installation,
then proceed to the next paragraph. Otherwise, remove
the 2 screws holding the end plate in position, and rotate
the plate, from the bottom, until the plate is free from the
heater. Allow the plate to hang below the heater (it is
connected to the battery wires).

Look inside the compartment and locate the black vinyl
cover cap on the side of the module enclosure. Peel the
cap off with your finger nail or screw driver. Look inside the
box and notice the small button on the side of the receiver.
This is the LEARN button. See the illustration below. With
the wall switch in one hand, and a paper clip or the tip
of a writing pen in the other hand, press and release the
‘LEARN’ button of the receiver. You will hear one beep.
Now press the ‘ON’ button on the wall switch. Once the
code is accepted, you will hear four beeps in rapid
succession. You should now hear the pilot sparking rapidly.
This indicates that your programming was successful. If the

pilot did not begin to spark, then repeat the above
process. After programming, press the ‘OFF’ button to turn
the system off.

NOTE: The wireless wall switch can now be mounted (if
not previously mounted), on a flat surface, at your desired
location. Use the screws provided with the switch or double

operations that are possible with your Lynx Heater.

MANUAL OPERATION

1

. TURN THE GAS ON. If this is a Natural Gas (NG)

installation, turn the manual shut-off valve lever ¼ turn so
that the lever is parallel and in-line with the gas line. If this
is a Liquid Propane (LP) installation, open the gas cylinder
valve by a minimum of one full turn, and if connected to a
quick disconnect hose, turn the in-line valve lever by ¼
turn so that the lever is parallel and in-line with the gas
line.

2. At the wall switch, push the ‘ON’ button, and listen for the
pilot to spark rapidly. After the pilot sparks, you will hear
the small pilot flame ignite. Shortly after that, you will hear
the main burner of the heater ignite. When using the wall
switch, the heater will light on ‘HIGH’ regardless of the
previous setting when it was turned off. Allow the heater
to warm up for a few seconds, and then press the ‘LO’
button to adjust the heat downward. Each press of the
button will lower or raise the heat level by one increment.
If you hold the ‘HI’ button continuously, the heat level will
advance more rapidly. Likewise, when you press the ‘LO’
button, the heat will become lower by one increment, and
by pressing the ‘LO’ button continuously, the heat level
will decrease more rapidly. Push the “OFF’ button when
finished using the heater.

BASIC OPERATION OF YOUR HEATER

Your new Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater has been
designed with cutting edge technology and easily
operates with either the manual ON-OFF-HI-LOW wall
switch or with the use of a touch screen remote control.
Please study the section of this manual entitled ‘Remote
Control Operation’ to allow a full understanding of the
heater’s capabilities.

IMPORTANT NOTE

W

hen the heater is being lit for the first time after
installation, or after hooking up a gas line for the first
time, the gas lines will need to purge themselves
of the air to fill with gas. Depend-ing on the length of
gas lines, this may take a few minutes or more. The
spark ignition system is designed to spark for 1
minute, and then time out. This is part of the ignition
safety system.

If this occurs, simply turn the wall switch to OFF, and then turn back to ON. The spark will return to its normal function.
Repeat this operation until the pilot lights. Once the pilot lights, the heater will light within seconds.

20

When the heater is operated for the first time, there may be

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE...continued

a certain level of smoke exiting the heater exhaust vents.
This may last for up to 15 minutes. This is NORMAL. This is
a result of the manufacturing oils, cleaning oils, and anti­seize lubricants, burning away under high temperature for
the first time. After this ‘break-in’ period, your heater should
function normally, emitting no additional smoke.

TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Before attempting to operate your remote, you must be
sure that the remote control has been ‘initialized’ or paired
with the receiver. Please see the section of this manual
titled ‘Initializing the Remote Control System’ Page 19.

CHANGING FROM FAHRENHEIT TO CELSIUS

When the remote control is OFF, the current air
temperature is displayed in the upper right hand corner of
the display window. This temperature will read in degrees
Fahrenheit (F) or degrees Celsius (C). To alternate and
change between degrees (F) and degrees (C), with the
remote in the OFF position, simply press the DOWN arrow
key and the UP arrow key at the same time briefly. Use a
short click and do not hold the buttons down continuously.

AIR TEMPERATURE LIMIT FUNCTION

TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL...continued

THERMOSTAT DISABLE FEATURE

When using the heater with the remote control
transmitter, always keep the remote transmitter by your
side, i.e., at the same place that you are sitting. This will
assure that the temperature and thermostat function
will always be reading the same temperature that you
are experiencing. Do not leave the remote transmitter
outside or exposed to the elements when not in use. Do
not leave the transmitter facing the sun, or in a place that
allows the transmitter to measure the temperature of the
sun. This could falsely raise the ‘air’ temperature that the
transmitter is reading. Once the ‘room’/air temperature
reaches 95F degrees, the system will automatically shut
the heater off. When the heater is turned on in either the
MANUAL ON or THERMOSTAT ON mode, once the air
temperature becomes 95 degrees, the heater will cycle
automatically to the MANUAL OFF mode. If the user
turns the control back ON, and the air temperature is still
95F degrees or greater, the transmitter will switch back to
MANUAL OFF.

If, after using your heater, you decide that you do
not want to use the THERMOSTAT function, you can
disable this function on the remote transmitter. When the
THERMOSTAT mode is disabled:

• The Modes of operation will cycle between MANUAL
ON and MANUAL OFF (omitting THERMO).

• Program Operation (described below) is also disabled.

• The SET TEMP zone will be blank.

• The air temperature will still be measured & displayed
in the ROOM/AIR TEMP Zone.

• The TIME/PROG zone will continue to display
the Clock and Day of week, but none of the icons
associated with Program Mode will be displayed.

• To disable or re-enable the Thermostat, the
transmitter must be in MANUAL OFF Mode, then press
and hold the SET TEMP Zone and the DOWN Button
simultaneously for 10-seconds. The entire contents
of the LCD screen will flash 3-times (0.5-seconds OFF,

0.5-seconds ON) to indicate the change has been
made.

FEATURES

CONTINUOUS PILOT FEATURE:

In some cases such as locations where severely cold weather or fog persists, it may be an advantage for you to set your
heater so the small pilot flame stays continuously ON. This keeps the pilot area warm and allows immediate start-up of
your heater.

• To activate or deactivate the Continuous Pilot Feature, with the transmitter either ON or OFF, press and hold the
MODE/SET and UP Buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. This can also be switched on the internal module.

• LCD Display: When activated, CONT. PILOT will be displayed in the MODE Zone.

• Take note that when heater is turned off (MANUAL OFF or THERMOSTAT OFF) the pilot flame remains on.

CHILD SAFETY LOCK FEATURE:

The Child Safety Lock Feature allows you to lock the buttons and the touch screen of the remote control transmitter to
avoid unsupervised (or accidental) operation of your heater system.

• Child-Lock operation prevents any user input to the transmitter. No mode of operation or feature may be adjusted
when Child-Lock is activated. All automatic functions (thermostat, program, etc.) will continue normally.

• To activate or deactivate the Child-Lock feature, press and hold the MODE/SET and DOWN Buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds. The system is now locked.

• LCD Display:
When activated, the LOCK icon will appear in the MODE Zone. If any touch-zone or button is pressed when
activated, the LCD backlight will illuminate and the LOCK icon will flash for 5 seconds in the MODE Zone.

COMMUNICATION SAFETY FEATURE:

• In manual ON, THERMOSTAT ON, AND PROGRAM modes of operation, the transmitter will automatically send
a communication safety transmission every 15 minutes. This signal is further processed by the ignition control
module to verify the transmitter is communicating properly.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR:

•
The remote control transmitter has a built-in ‘low-battery’ detection mode to signal you when the transmitter
becomes low on battery power. When the batteries become low, a battery icon will appear in the touch screen
window immediately to the right of the word ‘ROOM’ on the air temperature window.

The life span of the transmitter batteries will vary depending of the quality of the batteries, the number of ON/OFF
ignitions of the heater, and the number of changes in air temperature vs. set point temperature.

louvered end plate with the 2 screws and use caution not to pinch the battery wires. See page 18 for complete
description and illustrations.

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT :

The pilot flame in your heater has been factory preset for normal, environmental conditions. However, there may be
a specific need to adjust the pilot flame to a higher level such as windy conditions. The pilot flame can be adjusted by
following these steps:

Remove the (2) screws which hold
the small louvered end plate in
position as above to change the
batteries.

In the illustration you will see the
side of the valve which contains 3
brass screws. There are 2 smaller
screws, and one larger screw to­ward the center. The larger screw
is the pilot adjustment screw. It is
marked “PILOT”. Turn the screw
CLOCKWISE (to the right) to
DESCREASE the pilot
flame, tur n the screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE

PILOT IGNITER DOES NOT SPARK

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

HEATER WILL LIGHT, BUT PILOT AND BURNER CYCLE
ON AND OFF. REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION

Press the ‘ON’ button on the wireless wall switch. Verify
the LED flashes RED when the button is pushed. If you
hear a spark coming from the pilot, the problem may be
the touch screen remote control. Replace the batteries. If
the pilot still does not spark, replace the batteries in the
heater. See section ‘Replacing the Batteries’.

If an AC power adaptor is being used, then check the cord
connection to the heater.

PILOT IGNITER SPARKS, BUT THE PILOT BURNER DOES
NOT IGNITE.

New installations may take time for the system to ‘purge’
the air in the gas line. If the igniter sparks for 1 minute
without ignition the system will enter a ‘safety lockout’
mode. Press the ‘OFF’ button and then press the ‘ON”
button on the wireless wall switch. The system will then
reset. Try 3 additional times and attempt to light heater. If
still no results, Check that the ON-OFF valve in gas line
is turned on. If still no results, then the gas line must be
‘purged’. With the gas on, loosen one connection near
the heater until you either ‘hear’ gas or ‘smell gas’. Tighten
connection immediately. This should purge the remaining
air from the lines. If the burner will still not light check the
orifice for insects or blockage.

PILOT IGNITER SPARKS, BUT THE PILOT BURNER DOES
NOT IGNITE. REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION.

If using the ‘thermostat’ on the remote, the ‘SET’
temperature is set too close to the air/ room temperature.
The heater is functioning to maintain the exact temperature
set. Try setting the ‘SET’ temperature higher (more then 2
degrees ) than the air/room temperature. You can also use
the ‘MANUAL ON’ mode on the remote control and
manually set the heat level higher (levels 1-7) See ‘Touch
Screen Remote Control Operation’.

HEATER WILL LIGHT, BUT PILOT AND BURNER CYCLE
ON AND OFF DURING MANUAL OPERATION.

The outside conditions are too windy for proper heater
functioning. Check installation and verify that heater is
basically located away from direct wind source. This heater
has been tested to accommodate wind gusts of up to 15­20 MPH. During high wind conditions, turn heater off. If
needed, adjust pilot flame to a higher level. See section
marked ‘Pilot Flame Adjustment’ (pg. 29).

REMOTE CONTROL SHOWS AIR TEMPERATURE READ­OUT, BUT WILL NOT TURN ON.

Remote control batteries are low. Check for the ‘Low Bat­tery” icon in the readout of the remote control. Replace
batteries in remote using 4 ea. AAA. See section ‘Touch
Screen Remote Control Operaton’ and ‘Replacing Batter­ies’.

The remote control system functions, such that, if when
using the ‘thermostat’on the remote, the air/room
temperature (shown in the upper right hand side of the
remote display) works in conjunction with the thermostat
‘SET’ temperature (shown in the upper left hand side of the
display) to modulate the function of the heater. If the
thermostat ‘SET’ temperature is set LOWER than the
current air temperature, the heater will not come on or
light. Press the “UP” arrow to bring the thermostat
temperature HIGHER than the air temperature. See ‘Touch
Screen Remote Control Operation’. If the burner will still
not light check the orifice and venturi for insects or
blockage.

REMOTE CONTROL SHOWS FULL DISPLAY, BUT WILL
NOT ACTIVATE THE PILOT IGNITION.

First, check to see if the ‘Low Battery’ icon is in the readout
of the remote control. If yes, then replace the batteries with
4 ea. AAA. See section ‘Remote Control Operation’. If this
icon is not lit, press the ‘ON’ button of the remote. Listen
for a faint ‘beep’ coming from heater. If this faint ‘beep’ is
heard, then the electronic system is operating properly. If
this ‘beep’ is not heard, then the batteries in the heater are
low. Replace these batteries with 4 AAA and follow
instructions in section marked ‘Replacing Batteries in the
Heater’. If there is still no ‘beep’ heard, then the remote/
transmitter and receiver communication have not been
‘initialized’. See section titled ‘Initializing the Remote
Control System’ (pg. 20).

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued

With almost 1/3rd of the American population living at high altitudes, you may have special needs and considerations
for their gas fired appliances. The air up there is thinner having less 0

2

and lower atmosperic pressure, so heating

and cooking are going to present specific challenges. To compensate for variables, such as thinner air and lower
atmospheric pressure, appliances must be adjusted to operate at high altitudes. Generally speaking input ratings used
for elevations up to 2,000 ft (600m) must be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (300m) above sea level*

In order to keep Lynx LHEM heaters operating under peak performance conditions high altitude orifices can be
ordered from the factory and be converted in the field using the proper orifice conversions. For more information
please contact our customer service department at 888-289-5969 Mon-Fri., 6am-4:30pm PST.

AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR FOG HEATER FAILS TO LIGHT:
REMOTE CONTROL AND RECEIVER APPEAR TO BE
OPERATING NORMALLY. PILOT IS SPARKING.

This heater has been tested to withstand a significant
amount of rain. However, if the heater has reached a
point of ‘saturation’, then either the pilot burner, the main
burner, or both, have become wet. If the pilot igniter
sparks, but the pilot will not light, or the spark is weak,
then the pilot is wet. The pilot can be manually lit with a
long match or lighter. First remove the pilot cover by
removing the 4 small cover screws. Slightly loosen the
inside screw which holds the pivot cover. Rotate cover to
expose lighting hole. Turn the remote to ‘ON’. Apply a
flame directly over the pilot head. If the pilot does not
light after 15 seconds, then turn power off for 5 minutes
and then try again. Once the pilot flame is lit, the main
burner should light shortly after. Once the burner lights, if
it is also wet, then it will burn unevenly until it burns itself
dry. This is normal. If the pilot lights, but the burner will
not light, then the burner simply needs some time to dry
naturally. If this is the case, then the installation and
placement of the heater should be reconsidered. If this is
an ongoing problems due to location, placing the unit in a
continuous Pilot mode is recommended.

AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR FOG HEATER FAILS TO LIGHT.
REMOTE CONTROL AND RECEIVER APPEAR TO BE
OPERATING NORMALLY. PILOT IS NOT SPARKING.
TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL RECOVERY
METHOD.

This heater has been tested to withstand a significant
amount of rain. However, if the heater has reached a point
of ‘saturation’, then either the pilot burner, the main burner,
or both, have become wet. The heater can be manually lit
by following the instructions in the previous block. There is
also a remote control function that may also expedite the
recovery process. This function overides the flame sensor
in the pilot mechanism and allows the pilot to spark. No
gas, will be released, so only sparking will occur. This
sparking function will help to ‘dry out’ the pilot. To
activate this override function, place the touch screen
remote control in MANUAL OFF mode. Press and hold
the FLAME ZONE on the touch screen and the UP button
simultaneously. The pilot will begin and continue sparking
until the buttons are released. The remote will return to
MANUAL OFF. Turn the remote to MANUAL ON and see
if the pilot will spark on its own. If not, repeat process until
the pilot functions
normally.

THE LYNX STORY

Lynx began with a vision.

A small group of manufacturing engineers with over a
century of collective experience had a dream. They dared
to take their extensive commercial manufacturing know-how
and create a line of outdoor cooking products that offer
commercial elegance and performance to the consumer
market.

Lynx has taken the
quality, workman­ship, service and
innovation of the
commercial market and
incorporated it into the
Lynx Professional Grills
line of consumer and
commercial products. The
combination of creative
design, superior materials
and exceptional
craftsmanship elevates
Lynx products to a class
of their own.

Lynx original commercial products are used every day
in restaurants, hotels and theme parks across the USA:
