GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 255 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 a replacement transmitter is purchased from your
dealer or the factory. When matching security codes, be sure
slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code
will NOT “LEARN” if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position.
Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by
pushing in the LEARN button on the top of the remote receiver
and then pressing the MODE button on the transmitter. A change
in the beeping pattern, at the receiver, indicates the transmitter’s
code has been programmed into the receiver. When an existing
receiver is matched to a new transmitter, the new security code
will override the old one.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching pro-
cedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful
in matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1-2 min
-
utes before trying again – this delay allows the microprocessor to
reset its timer circuitry – and try up to two or three more times.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should
be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annually.
When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from
a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has de
-
creased) or the remote receiver doe not function at all, the bat-
teries should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver
batteries are fully charged and provides continuous output voltage
of a least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote
receiver and gas valve directly affects the operating performance
of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power
is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and the
gas valve. Recommended length is no longer than 20 feet. The
transmitter should operate with as little as 5.0 volts battery power.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem
may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the ECS remote.
Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make
sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation
of the ECS remote in the following manner:
•
Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIV
-
ER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating
properly.
•
Check battery in Transmitter to make sure contacts are touch
-
ing (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tight
-
er fit.
•
Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter are within 20’-25’ operat
-
ing range.
•
Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130
°
F. Bat-
tery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
130
°
F.
•
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround,
the operating distance will be shortened.
RECEIvER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: The slide button, White or Black, covers the ADJ
access hole when installed.
A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn
the adjustment screw counter-clockwise about 5 degrees or a
maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the distance prob-
lem.
B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw
to original position and then turn adjustment screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the
adjustment screw, in either direction, you will go past the proper
setting (tuning).
