THERMO-SAFETY FEATURE
When the ambient temperature inside the receiver case reaches
130°F, the RECEIVER will automatically send power to the step
motor on the valve to shut the fireplace system off and the RE-
CEIVER will begin emitting a series of 4 "beeps" every 2 seconds.
When the ambient temperature at the RECEIVER drops between
120°F and 130°F, the user can reactivate the fireplace by push-
ing the ON/OFF button on the transmitter. When the ON/OFF but-
ton is pressed, the THERMISTOR "resets" itself and the fireplace
will begin operating again. However, the "beeping" will continue if
the ambient temperature remains between 120°F and 130°F. This
"beeping" alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be reposi-
tioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120°F. When the
temperature drops below 120°F, and the control is reset by press-
ing the ON/OFF button, the "beeping" will cease.
SECURITY CODES
This transmitter has one of 256 unique security codes. It may be
necessary to program the remote receiver to learn the security
code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or
if using a replacement transmitter.
NOTE: This receiver can hold up to 3 transmitter codes. This if for
the times when a second hand held transmitter or a wall transmit-
ter is required.
•
Make sure the receiver's slide switch is in the REMOTE posi-
tion.
•
Press and release the LEARN button on the receiver.
•
When you hear the "beep", press and hold the ON/OFF or H/L
button for about 2 seconds on the transmitter.
• You will then hear a series of beeps that indicated that your
new transmitter has been accepted by the receiver.
• If you press the LEARN button on the receiver and you hear
no beeps, the receiver is unable to retain any more transmitter
codes (make sure that the transmitter and the receiver batter-
ies are properly installed and fully charged.
• To delete all of the transmitter codes on your receiver, press
and hold the LEARN button for 10 seconds. Then you will
hear a series of beeps indicating that the receiver's memory
has been cleared.
TRANSMITTER WALL CLIP
The transmitter can be hung on a
wall using the clip provided.
•
Wood - Drill 1/8" pilot holes and
install with screws provided.
• Plaster/Wallboard - Drill 1/4"
holes, tap plastic anchors in
with hammer then install with
the screws provided.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter and re-
ceiver should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all bat-
teries:
• Annually.
•
When operating range becomes reduced.
•
When transmissions are not received by the remote receiver.
• If the remote receiver batteries measure less than 5.3 volts
(all four batteries in combination).
• If the hand held transmitter battery measures less than 9.0
volts.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem
may be with either the fireplace itself or with the remote. Review
the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all
connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the
remote in the following manner:
•
Make sure all batteries are correctly installed in the transmitter
and receiver. Also check that the batteries are fully charged.
• Check batteries in transmitter to make sure contacts are
touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in
for tighter fit.
•
Be sure receiver and transmitter are within 20' - 25' operating
range.
• Keep receiver from temperatures exceeding 130°F. Battery
life will be shortened if exposed to high temperatures.
•
If receiver is installed in a tightly enclosed metal surrounding,
the operating distance will be shortened.
•
Make sure the hand-held transmitter and remote receiver are
communicating properly (see SECURITY CODES section).
