OTES
The fireplace may be operated through an external source such as a smart home (home automation) system by using the 5-pin
connector on the receiver.
A required 39” (990
mm)
cable, with connector, is available (p/n E4-SA-SHSC-02). The overall cable length should not exceed 26’
(7925
mm
.)
Signal relays (gold contacts) or opto-couplers are recommended but not supplied. The E4-SA-SHSC-02 cable must be connected
to the three smart home system contacts as shown below.

• Mode 1 - the external source provides “ON“ and “OFF“
operation only. The remote control provides all other
functions.
Note: Even if the fire is switched on by the external
source, the remote control, in the thermostatic mode,
controls the room temperature. The room temperature
setting of the remote control will remain the same for
the next ON-cycle of the external source as long as the
temperature setting of the remote control has not been
changed. If the remote control is in manual mode, it will
go to High Fire in the next cycle of external operation.
• Mode 2 - The remote control must be set to the manual
mode if the external source is to control the room
temperature. If the handset is placed in the thermostatic
mode it will override the external source.
N
OTE
:
Frequent ON and OFF cycles will limit life expectancy of the
valve and will increase battery consumption. The fireplace
should be powered by the AC adapter for improved
reliability and customer satisfaction.
