INTRODUCTION

This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating

appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies

(RF) within a 20-foot range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed

into the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver’s code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.

Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY under the TRANSMITTER section. This safety feature provides an extra margin of safety when

the transmitter is out of normal 20-foot operating range.

The transmitter operates on (2) AAA size 1.5DCV

batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE

batteries always be used for longer battery life and

maximum operational performance. IMPORTANT: New

or fully charged batteries are essential for proper

operation of the multi-function transmitter. Insert (2) AAA

size 1.5DCV batteries into the battery compartment on

the back of the transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-)

ends of the batteries as indicated on the casing. When

the batteries are inserted, the screen in Fig. 2 (with

similar numbers) will display.

Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the position of the batteries. See Fig. 2.

CAUTION: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring components in the transmitter, it may be necessary to allow the

transmitter to stabilize to room temperature before accurate room temperatures are displayed on the screen. If the

transmitter is activated from a severe cold condition, it can take up to fteen minutes for accurate temperature readings to

appear.

NOTE: This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or re feature. Adults must be present when

the Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance

or re feature when Adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or re feature

burning unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an Adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or

re feature for any length of time, then the handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the

“OFF” position.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The remote receiver can be Wall Mounted into a standard plastic switch box or (Hearth Mounted) placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Determine where you will install the receiver before proceeding. 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.
PAGE 5
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the (middle) REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER section, and re-check battery positions in the remote receiver. HEARTH MOUNT The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the control access panel or louvers.

SYSTEM CHECK MILLIVOLT VALVES Light the gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is ON; and the control knob on the gas valve is in the ON position for the main gas valve to operate. • Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position (Fig. 16). The main gas flame (fire) should light. • Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain ON).

GENERAL INFORMATION CONTINUED TRANSMITTER TRANSMITTER OPERATING DISTANCE The 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 be located within the 20-foot operating range, preferably in the same room in which the appliance is located. THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER This remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software.

BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries should be at least 12-months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the Transmitter no longer operates the 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, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts.
