To store the “swing number”, press the SET button or allow 15
seconds to lapse, and the new “swing number” will be
automatically programmed.

MANUAL CHECK OF “SWING” OR TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL
The operation of the factory set “THERMO SWING” can be checked by adjusting the SET TEMP 2°F above or below the
room temperature. This will cause the system to turn ON or OFF. Normally the system will only respond to temperature
changes every two minutes. Manually changing the SET temperature will activate the system in less than 10 seconds. If
the “SWING” is changed, then a new room temperature differential will respond. Factory setting of SWING temperature is
2°F.
OPERATIONAL NOTE:
TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ARE ONLY RECORDED
EVERY TWO MINUTES. Additionally, to prevent repeated thermo-cycling of gas appliance, the sensing unit in the
transmitter will only activate the remote receiver when temperature change exceeds 2°F (1°C) above or below the
SET (desired) temperature. However, if the “SWING” setting has been changed from the factory setting (2°F /1°C),
then thermo-cycling will activate at the new setting of the “SWING” number.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
The low battery icon will appear when battery power has dropped significantly. At
this time, approximately two weeks of battery power remains until the transmitter may
experience partial or complete loss of functions.

: A reversed battery can activate the LOW battery icon.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING - OPTIONS TO CHANGE SWING TEMPERATURE
The thermo-transmitter operates the fireplace system whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of
degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The
normal operating cycle of a fireplace system may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is
insulated from the cold or drafts. A smaller “swing number” increases the number of cycles so the room temperature is
more constant. A larger “swing number” decreases the number of cycles, which saves energy, in most cases. The factory
setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2°F (1°C) between SET temperature
and ROOM temperature which determines when the fireplace will be activate. The “SWING” number values are:
1= +/- 1°F (.5°C), 2= +/- 2°F (1°C), 3 = +/-3°F (1.6°C).
