5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MERTIK MAXITROL GV60
WARNING
Ensure the fuel supplied to the unit is clean and free from
particles and moisture.
The unit must not be turned on if the glass pane(s) is not
present and/or is broken.
Before a gas supply pipe (new or existing) is connected to the
main gas pipe at the gas meter and to the gas control block
of the unit, clean and dry compressed air needs to have been
blown through it. Copper and aluminium pilot light pipes that
have been cut must be deburred and blown clean before they
are connected.
Heat, moisture and dust are a threat to all electronic
components
Protect the electronic gas control
until
all construction,
plastering and paintwork has been completed. If you cannot
avoid this work, then protect the control against dirt and
moisture penetration by covering it with plastic film for
instance.
WARNING
Electronic components become permanently faulty when
they are exposed to temperatures higher than 60°C. Normal
AA batteries will crack open at temperatures >54°C and
the battery contents will damage the electronic switches
below. Batteries have the longest life span at <25°C. At
temperatures >50°C this life span will only be approximately
23 weeks, which would make the use of the gas fireplace
unnecessarily expensive.
Only install the gas control block
and receiver as pre-installed at the factory.
Remember that components may have to be replaced
or that repairs may have to be performed at a later date.
This may prove to be more difficult if the control is installed
in a different way to how we have described in instructions.
Only insert the batteries after the receiver, gas control block
and pilot light set have been wired.
Premature connection to the power source can damage
the electronics.
Ensure the ignition cable is not near the antenna wire and
that they do not cross each other.
The high voltage released during ignition may damage
the sensitive receiver circuit of the antenna. This could mean
the unit becomes less responsive or totally unresponsive
to commands from the handset.
NOTE
Do not tighten the contact breaker and the thermocouple
connection too tightly on the gas control block!
It is sufficient to tighten by hand and add a half a turn
with an open-end spanner. Tightening too much will break
the connection to the magnetic coil below and/or the
insulation around the aluminium contact pin in the contact
breaker. This may cause the magnetic coil to not open
the gas supply to the pilot light and prevent the unit from
functioning.
Prevent leakage of ignition spark to parts of the installation
other than the ignition rod on the pilot light. Ensure the ignition
cable is not in contact with the body or other metal parts.
If a cable extension is used, ensure the connections have
additional silicone insulation.
The receiver and the control units on the gas control block
should be switched on to ensure automatic start-up via
the manual transmitter.
The oval disc on the gas control block should be turned to
the
ON
position. The
I/0
witch should be set to
I
. The ignition
cable should be connected to the
SPARK
connection point on
the receiver box.
The system’s thermostat sensor is located inside the manual
transmitter. The manual transmitter operates best at a distance
of 2 or 3 metres away from the unit. Although communication
occurs via shortwave radio signals, it is recommended that you
place the hand-held transmitter in the line of sight of the gas
unit, in a place where the user wishes to experience a pleasant
temperature. Do not place the manual transmitter in direct
sunlight or other warm locations. The thermostat measures
the temperature and, accordingly, regulates the flame size of
the gas unit.
NOTE
Sealed parts must not be adjusted, to do so would void
the warranty.
A waiting time of 5 minutes between each start attempt
must be observed.
