	Receptacle on back
	LEARN
		FLAME
	OFF-REMOTE-ON GROUND	VALVE CONTROL
		3-position switch
Figure 2.5	Remote Receiver

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.

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

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

•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.

Transmitter

Important: Before operating remote control, transmitter and receiver must have matching security codes. See section ‘Matching Security Codes’.

Important: Review ‘Thermo-Updating/Communication- Safety Features’ under ‘Transmitter Safety Features’ section. Communication Safety features shut down the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

Important: Review ‘Auto Shutdown’ section. This safety feature shuts down the replace after 9 hours of continuous operation, in ON mode only. Important: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the multifunction 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 compartment on the back of the transmitter. When the batteries are correctly inserted, the screen will display numbers (see Figure 2.6 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: 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.

Transmitter Safety Features

It is recommended that the TRANSMITTERS always be located within a 20 foot operating range of the replace, preferably in the same room in which the replace 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-Updating and 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 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 replace 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 inde nitely until reset.

To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the replace system:

•Press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. The COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is 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 replace will continuously operate for 9 hours. After 9 hours, the replace will shut down. To relight the replace:

•Press the MODE button. The replace will operate continuously for up to 9 hours before Auto Shutdown repeats cycle. The Auto Shutdown signal comes from the transmitter. The transmitter must be positioned within a 20 ft operating range for the Auto Shutdown feature to operate.

System Check

Light the appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the replace. Con rm that the pilot ame is on. It must be in operation for the main gas valve to operate.

•Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas ame (i.e., the re) should ignite.

•Slide the button to OFF. The ame should extinguish (the pilot ame will remain on).

•Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The main gas ame should ignite.

•Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the

system to OFF. The ame should extinguish (the pilot

ame will remain on).

•Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO.

•Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a temperature of at least 2° F (1° C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen and the system ame will ignite.

•Set the SET temperature to at least 2° F (1° C) below the room temperature and the system ame 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 differs at least 2° F (1° C). The 2° F differential is the factory setting.

Timer Operation

The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the replace 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 elapse, the system should turn off.

General Information
