HMFATV INTRODUCTION

The HMFATV Television Kit is designed to automate the 

operation of the HMFA Forced Air Blower, in order to protect 

a wall-mounted television from heat damage while the 

fireplace  is  in  use.  During  normal  operation  the  blower  is

case of a power outage or blower failure, the fireplace will 

be  deactivated  by  a  wall-mounted  limit  switch  in  order  to 

protect the television. The rheostat control included in the 

HMFA Forced Air Blower is not utilized.
