Press the MODE key to disengage the thermo mode. The word ROOM
on the LCD screen will not show when the thermo is not in operation.

OPERATIONAL NOTES:
The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance 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 an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts.
The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2
0 F (1 0 C) between SET temperature
and ROOM temperature, which determines when the fireplace will be activated. This function is pre-set at the factory.
The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a
button on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OF will appear on the LCD screen to show while the signal is being sent. Upon
initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's
design.
REMOTE RECEIVER
IMPORTANT
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.
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
•
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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the
receiver case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the
control access panel. Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case
does not exceed 130º F.
NOTE: Black Button is used on Hearth Mount Applications.
