NOTE
: If the appliance is already operating in the ON or THERMO MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the operating
MODE. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER. If in the auto modes, the THERMO
operation will continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the TRANSMITTER’S operating signals; the
transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF.
OPERATIONAL NOTES:
The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance 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 an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts.
The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2
0
F
(1
0
C)
between SET temperature
and ROOM temperature, which determines when the fireplace will be activated. This function is pre-set at the factory.
The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a
button on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OF will appear on the LCD screen to show while the signal is being sent. Upon
initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's
design.
NOTE
: The AF-4000MOD-1 will only respond to the transmitter when the 2-position slide button on the module is in the
REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING TRANSMITTER
TO MODULE (RECEIVER), and recheck battery
positions in the remote receiver
.
HI/LO SOLENOID – HI/LO DC MOTOR DRIVE
Note: On front of the AF-4000BP-1 there is a slide switch to change from Pulse power for operating the Hi/Lo Solenoid to
Continuous power for operating the DC Motor Drive.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates
in the following manner, but only in the THERMO MODE:
The transmitter reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature
and then sends a signal to the receiver.
THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – AF-4000MOD-1 MODULE (T/S –RX)
There is a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the receiver of the AF-4000MOD-1 module. This feature is temperature-
activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the module is operating where ambient temperatures exceed 150
0
F
degrees
inside the module case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the AF-4000MOD-1 module, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
The module is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the module’s
microprocessors.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the module case, reaches 150
0
F
, the THERMISTOR will automatically
shut the appliance down and the module will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the ambient temperature, at
the module, drops between 130
0
F
and 150
0
F
, the user can reactivate the appliance by pushing the ON H/L key on the transmitter. The
flame icon must display on the LCD screen. When the ON H/L key is pressed to ON, the THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the
appliance will begin operating again. However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between 130
0
F
and
150
0
F
. This “beeping” alerts the user that the module should be checked.
When the temperature drops below 130
0
F
, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR by pushing the
ON H/L key to ON to operate the appliance. Allow sufficient time for the receiver to cool below 130
0
F
, and then press ON H/L key to
stop beeping.
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO MODULE (RECEIVER)
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the AF-4000MOD-1 (module drawing
on next page) 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 module to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on
the module is in the REMOTE position; the module will
not
LEARN if the slide switch is in the OFF position. The LEARN button is
located on the side of the module; 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 module will emit an audible “beep”.
