Low Battery Power Detection
Transmitter: The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors:
quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of
changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the Transmitter batteries are
low, a Battery Icon will appear on the LCD display of the Transmitter (see Figure
17) before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon will
disappear.
IFC: The life span of the IFC batteries depends on various factors during a prolonged
power outage: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance,
the number of changes to the room thermostat set point etc. When the IFC batteries
are low, No “beep” will be emitted when it receives an On/Off command from
the Transmitter. This is an alert for a low battery condition for the IFC. When the
batteries are replaced the “beep” will be emitted from the IFC when the ON/OFF Key
is pressed (See

CPI Pilot Mode
Switching to Continuous Pilot Mode
When the fireplace is turned off press the mode
key to index to the constant pilot (CPI) mode icon
(see figure 6). Pressing the up arrow key will select
Continuous Pilot Ignition (CPI) and pressing the down
arrow key will return to IPI. Once a selection is made
the IFC will beep once to confirm it had received the
command. NOTE: It is recommended to use the
continuous pilot mode during the winter when
the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C)
to keep the chimney properly heated for updraft
during burner ignition.
Continuous pilot mode also
keeps the firebox warm which eliminates both heat
loss to cold air that is trapped inside the firebox as
well as excessive exhaust vapour condensation on
the door glass.
