SYSTEM CHECK
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS
•
Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking to
ignite the pilot (the pilot may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and
the main gas flame should ignite.
•
Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
•
Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), and then press the ON button on the transmitter to turn the
system to ON. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve
shouldopen and the main gas flame should ignite.
•
Press the OFF button on the transmitter to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries
annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e. transmitter’s
range has decreased) or the remote receiver doe not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that
the remote receiver batteries are fully charged and provides continuous output voltage of a least 5.3 volts. The transmitter
should operate with as little as 2.5-volts battery power.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the
remote. 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:
•
Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from
operating properly.
•
Check battery in Transmitter to make sure it is installed with the (+) side up.
•
See LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER section.
•
Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter is within 20-25-foot operating range.
•
Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130º F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
130º F.
•
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. The receiver will learn up to three (3) security codes. It will be necessary to
press and release the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter security code upon initial use or if a
replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter
security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide
switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole
labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver or a tip of a pencil gently press and release the LEARN button inside the hole.
When you release the LEARN button the LED light on the receiver will begin flashing every 1-second. Press ANY button
on the transmitter and release. The LED light will flash quickly, indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted
into the receiver. To “clear” the learn memory, press and hold the learn button for 10-seconds. The LED light will flash
three (3) times to indicate the memory is cleared.
