THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER
This 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 and PROGRAM MODES:
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature
it sends a signal to the receiver.
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This series remote controls have a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into the 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 – ON/THERMO/PROGRAM.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver,
indicating that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. 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 transmitter, the receiver will shut down the fireplace
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 a transmitter
signal is again received. 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 fireplace system, you must press the MODE
button on the transmitter. The word ON must 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 transmitter.
The COMMUNICATION SAFETY feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken
out of the normal operating range or should 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 the 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 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.
