Adjusting the Flame Height -

Operates in ON or THERMO mode

This remote control system allows the user to control
the height of the FLAME when the gas valve is factory
equipped with a FLAME CONTROLLER.

1. Press and release FLAME button to change fl ame

height to HI (see Figure 7, Location #5), (a second
fl ame icon appears).

2. Press again to return fl ame to normal state.

Low/Battery Indicator

An “X” outlined by a battery on the right side of the LCD
screen will appear when battery power has dropped
signifi cantly. At this time, approximately two weeks of
battery power remains.

Child Proof Lockout (CP)

The transmitter contains a “Child Proof” lockout feature
that prevents unauthorized use of the remote control. To
access the “Child Proof” activation button, remove cover
on BACK of transmitter. To activate LOCKOUT:

1. Press and hold in the “setting button” for 5 seconds.

The letters CP will display on the LCD screen (see
Figure 8). This prevents the activation of fi replace.
When any function button is pressed ON/OFF etc.
the letter CP will display on the LCD screen.

To deactivate LOCKOUT:

1. Press and hold in the “setting button” for 5 seconds. The

LCD will display CP until 5 seconds have elapsed, and
then the 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 fi replace,
preferably in the same room in which the fi 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 Fea-
tures

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 THER-
MO 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 bat-
teries are still active.

In the COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature, at all times
and in all OPERATING MODES the transmitter sends a
signal every fi fteen (15) minutes to the receiver, indicat-
ing 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 fea-
ture), 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 transmit-
ter, the RECEIVER will shut down the fi 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 indefi nitely
until reset.

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

1. Press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word

ON must display on the LCD screen. The COMMU-
NICATION -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 incor-
porated into its system. When the transmitter MODE is
in the ON position the fi replace will continuously operate
for 9 hours. After 9 hours, the fi replace will shut down.
To relight the fi replace:

1. Press the MODE button. The fi 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 foot operating range for the Auto Shutdown
feature to operate.

SYSTEM CHECK

Millivolt Valves

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

1. Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to

the ON position. The main gas fl ame (i.e., the fi re)
should ignite.

2. Slide the button to OFF. The fl ame should extinguish

(the pilot fl ame will remain on).

3. 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 fl ame should
ignite.

4. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change

the system to OFF. The fl ame should extinguish (the
pilot fl ame will remain on).

5. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change

the system to THERMO.
