THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This ECS remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the
following manner, but only in the THERMO MODE:
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature
and then sends a signal to the receiver.
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This ECS 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.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES – Manual ON and THERMO.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the wall transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver,
Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 15 minutes, the IC software, in 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
wall transmitter, the receiver will shut down the appliance being controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a
series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the RECEIVER will continue to
emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until the ON button on the wall transmitter is pressed to reset the receiver. The
intermittent 4 second beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the appliance, you must press ON button on the wall transmitter. The flame icon must
be display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the
system will return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the wall transmitter. The COMMUNICATION –
SAFETY feature will reactivate if the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
REMOTE RECEIVER
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.
THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This ECS remote control has a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is temperature-
activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed 130
0
F
degrees inside the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the
receiver’s microprocessors.
