TRANSMITTER SAFETY FEATURES

It is recommended that the TRANSMITTERS always be lo-
cated within a 20 foot operating range of the fireplace, pref-
erably in the same room in which the fireplace system is
located. The TRANSMITTER features several safety features
that alert the user when the TRANSMITTER is placed out-
side the 20 foot normal operating range.

Thermo-Safety and Communication-Safety Features
This remote control has both a THERMO-SAFETY and
COMMUNICATION-SAFETY function built into its software.
It provides an extra margin of safety when the TRANSMIT-
TER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the re-
ceiver. It is also activated when the batteries become weak
or are removed from the transmitter.

In the THERMO-SAFETY 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 ac-
tive.

In the COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature, at all times and
in all OPERATING MODES the transmitter sends a signal
every fifteen (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 2
minutes (THERMO-SAFETY feature) or 15 minutes (COMMU-
NICATION-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 fireplace being
controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a se-
ries of rapid “beeps”. Then, after 10 rapid “beeps”, the RE-
CEIVER 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 indefinitely until reset.

To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system:

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

ON must display on the LCD screen. The THERMO-
SAFETY and 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 TRANS-
MITTER to make sure the voltage is no less than 2.7 volts.

Auto Shutdown
This remote control has an Auto Shutdown feature incorpo-
rated into its system. When the transmitter MODE is in the
ON position the fireplace will continuously operate for 9 hours.
After 9 hours, the fireplace will shut down. To relight the
fireplace:

1. Press the MODE button.

The transmitter must be positioned within a 20 foot operat-
ing range for the Auto Shutdown feature to operate.

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 Fig-
ure 13). This prevents the activation of fireplace. 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.

SYSTEM CHECK

Millivolt Valves

Light the appliance following the lighting instructions that
came with the fireplace. Confirm that the pilot flame 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 flame (i.e., the fire) should
ignite.

2. Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the

pilot flame 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 flame should ignite.

4. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the

system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot
flame 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 2

0

F (1

0

C) above the ROOM tem-

perature displayed on the LCD screen and the system
flame will ignite.

7. Set the SET temperature to at least 2

0

F (1

0

C) below the

room temperature and the system flame will extinguish.
Thereafter, it should continue to cycle on and off thermo-
statically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM
temperature changes, but only when the temperature dif-
ferential between ROOM and SET temperatures differs
at least 2

0

F (1

0

C). The 2

0

F differential is the factory set-

ting.

Electronic Ignition System

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

ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking
to ignite the pilot (the pilot may ignite after only one spark).
After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open
and the main gas flame should ignite.

2. Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot

flame should BOTH extinguish.

3. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position).
