Installation Instructions

1.  Introduction

The IntelliFire

 

Touch Remote Control (IFT-RC400) is 

a hand-held wireless device that is designed to control 
the functions of Hearth & Home Technologies products 
equipped with IntelliFire™Touch technology.   It can be 

used to control the flame ON/OFF, flame height, cold cli

-

mate and programmable timer functions of a appliance. 
The IFT-RC400 is also equipped with a temperature sen-
sor which allows it’s use as a thermostat to set the desired 
room temperature. 

The IntelliFire

 

Touch auxiliary control module (IFT-ACM) 

is included in this kit.  The ACM is an AC powered device 

that controls peripheral devices such as lights, fans and 

Power Vents approved for use in Hearth & Home Tech-
nologies products that are equipped with IntelliFire

 

Touch 

technology.  It is connected to and controlled by the Intel-
liFire

 

Touch Electronic Control Module (IFT-ECM).
