Alternative ways of control
Except using the remote control, there are also alternative ways to control the device. The fireplace is suitable for
connection to a home automation system that can connect to the receiver. This may be a wired or wireless connection.
Planika fireplaces can be (after purchasing an additional Ethernet Bridge module) controlled by Planika
Control application available for free download for mobile devices with Android (Google Play) and iOS
(iTunes). The installation instructions are supplied with the Ethernet Bridge module. Instructions for use of
the Application are included in the Application itself in the Help menu.
6.2.1.
Wired connection
Wired connection of the home automation system with the receiver can be set up by using DC 0-3 VDC input
(Picture 2 "D").
WARNING!
Voltage above 3V causes damage to the receiver and therefore it is not allowed.
In case of home automation systems with output voltage of 0-10 V voltage should be reduced to the level of 0-3 V DC.
To do this, use a voltage switchgear made of resistors (e.g., 2200 ohms and 680 ohms). Voltage above resistance of
680 ohms may be used at the output 0-3 V DC. Use a low impedance resistors.
By controlling the voltage level the receiver will be able to calculate the position and height of the flame. Table "B1"
shows the relationship between the voltage and the height of the flame. For devices with 2 burners, table "B2" applies.
It shows the relationship between voltage, the height of the flame and the number of burners.
