COMMUNICATION - SAFETY - TRANSMITTER - (C/S - T/X)
This remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software to ensure the transmitter and
receiver are communicating normally.
In all operating modes, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen minutes to the receiver indicating that the
transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. Should the receiver NOT receive this signal, the receiver will
begin a 2 hour countdown. If the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter in 2 hours, the receiver will shut
off the appliance. The receiver will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds
of rapid beeping, the receiver will continue to emit a single “beep” every 2 seconds until a transmitter
MODE
Button is
pressed to reset the receiver.
SYSTEM CHECK
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS
Learn the transmitter to the receiver. See next section below.
• 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 should open
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.
• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on
the transmitter to a temperature of at least 2°F (1°C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen.
With this manual setting the normal thermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET
temperature to at least 2°F (1°C) below the room temperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds.
Thereafter, it should continue to cycle ON and OFF thermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM
temperature changes, but only when the temperature differential between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least
2°F (1°C). (The 2°F differential is the factory setting).
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
This transmitter has one of 1,048,576 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to “learn”
the security code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if using a replacement transmitter.
• Make sure the receiver’s slide switch is in the
REMOTE
position.
• Press and release the
LEARN
button on the receiver.
• When you hear the “Beep”, press and hold the
MODE
button for about 2 seconds on the transmitter.
• You will then hear a series of beeps that indicate that your new transmitter has been accepted by the receiver.
• To “clear” the learn memory, press and hold the learn button for 10-seconds. The receiver will emit three long “beeps” to
indicate the memory is cleared.
THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S – RX)
This remote control has a THERMO-SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is temperature-
activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed
130°F degrees inside the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the
receiver’s microprocessors.
For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge
when temperatures exceed 115°F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 115°F,
can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant
heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.
