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.
Quadra-Fire • QFP44 • 4051-300 Rev M • 09/08 15
• 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

K. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
Blue ames
Odor from replace
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the replace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the replace is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When rst operated, this replace may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from
nishing materials and adhesives used near the replace. These circumstances may require
additional curing related to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the replace.
