The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in
matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again--this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its
timer circuitry--and try up to two or three more times.
OPERATION
1.
This remote wall timer will operate the gas valve’s latching solenoid to open the gas flow to full ON.
2.
When the ON button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a
pulse of 6 volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then opens the gas flow to the burner then to full ON.
3.
When the OFF button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a
pulse of 6 volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then closes the gas flow to the burner then to full OFF.
4.
The remote wall timer will only work with the hand held transmitter. The receiver slide switch is only for positive OFF or REMOTE
operation.
NOTE: Extensive use of the Latching Solenoid (ON/OFF) will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the WT-2R can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function. Replace all
batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter's
range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote
receiver batteries are fully charged, providing combined output voltage of at least 5.0 volts. The transmitter should operate with as little
as 2.4 volts battery power. NOTE: Extensive use of the Solenoid will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the WT-2R remote
system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the
operation of the remote in the following manner:
1.
Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly.
2.
Check battery in TRANSMITTER to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter
fit.
3.
Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER are within 20'-25' operating range.
4.
Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 120° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 115° F.
5.
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
NOTE:
1.
A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperature inside the case exceeds 130° F, will cause the THERMOSTAT-
SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to "reset" the receiver's operation.
2.
Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and/or heat conditions at the
receiver, some receivers may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication
and operating distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Follow the steps below for making the adjustment.
FREQUENCY (DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT
1.
To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjustment (ADJ)
screw counter-clockwise about 5° or maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the
distance problem.
2.
If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original position and then
turn adjustment screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment screw, in either
direction, you will go past the proper setting (tuning).
