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 8, 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 sig-
nifi 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 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 in-
dicating 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 fi fteen (15) minutes to the receiver, indicating
that the transmitter is within the normal operating range
of 20 feet.

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.

6. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a

temperature of at least 2º F (1º C) above the ROOM
temperature displayed on the LCD screen and the
system fl ame will ignite.

Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every
15 minutes (COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature), the RE-
CEIVER will begin a 2 HOUR (120 minute) countdown tim-
ing function. If during this 2 hour period, the receiver does
not receive a signal from the transmitter, 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 COMMUNICA-
TION -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.
