5. Remote Control System
Take some time to learn about the remote system fitted to this fire. Review the circuit diagram to
familiarise yourself with the system components.
This gas fire is operated by a remote control system which is powered by “AA” batteries. The fire is
supplied with a remote hand set which will switch the fire on/off and regulate the flame up/down.
There are options available to add a manual wall switch and to convert to mains power supply.
Handset: In order to operate the appliance the handset must be pointed directly at the magic eye
(line of sight) on the fire. The hand set has a child safe feature to avoid accidental lighting. Please
read “lighting the fire” section later in this handbook before operating the appliance.
The remote is powered by 6 x ‘AA’ Batteries in the appliance and a 9V battery in the handset.
It is recommended that only “Lithium” batteries are used in the remote system to ensure a long
life.
Note: that if the fire shuts down it is automatically set in “safe mode” to reactivate the fire press
button #1 only on the handset. This will cause a beep. Now the fire can be lit again using the
standard start-up sequence.
The remote system has a fault diagnosis system built in which is indicated by a number of beeps.
Review the “fault diagnosis” section later in this manual for the code. A warning sound when the
internal batteries become low will e heard however if the batteries are totally dead there will be no
sound. If the appliance fails to operate on the hand set change the batteries in both the appliance
and the hand set as this is the most common cause of failure.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All CVO fires are given a 100% full function test at the factory before being
shipped.
Never remove the heat shield or any wires from the black box or the remote system.
All connections are required.
There is no need to remove any connections from the remote system
during installation. Removal of any connections will result in the warranty being invalidated and no
claims will be accepted for the unit not working.
