MISceLLANeOuS

Low Battery Indication

Receiver:

 

three short beeps will sound when motor turns

Remote with display:

 

"BATT" will appear on display

NOTe:

  Thermostatic  Displays/Handsets:  If  the  battery  of  the 

handset is low or if the transmitter is out of the commu-

nication range, the motor turns down the valve to pilot 

gas after 6 hours.

NOTe:

  With very low battery the GV60 system shuts off the fire 

completely. This will not happen if the power supply is 

interrupted.

Battery replacement

Battery  replacement  is  recommended  at  the  beginning  of  each 

heating season. Do not use metal tools to remove batteries. Using 

a metal tool could cause a short that may damage the receiver.

Location of Receiver

When the RF-receiver is placed in the appliance, the surrounding 

metal can reduce reception considerably.  The position of th an-

tenna on the receiver also influences reception. It is recommended 

to straighten the antenna. The antenna must not come in contact or 

cross the ignition wire, this may render the receiver inoperable.

NOTe: 

 Keep receiver free from debris and dirt. Protect the re-

ceiver with a plastic bag until all construction is com-

plete.
