GENERAL INFORMATION
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept
the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, 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 end of a paperclip gently press and release the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you release
the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”. After the receiver emits the beep press the transmitter ANY
button and release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted into the
receiver.
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
7. This remote control will operate the gas valves latching solenoid to open the gas flow to full ON.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10.
The remote control 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 1001D-AF1 (Transmitter) 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
1001D-AF1 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 ensure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in
for tighter fit.
3. Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER are within 20 to 25-feet 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. Heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when temperatures exceed 1150 F. Studies show that alkaline
batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 1200 F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the
