FRBC - MILLIVOLT CONTROL SYSTEM
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide safe,
reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
fireplaces.
The system can be operated manually from the transmitter.
The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are
programmed into the transmitter at the factory.
The transmitter operates on a 12V battery (included) made
specifically for remote controls and electronic lighters. Install the
12V battery supplied with the unit into the battery compartment.
TRANSMITTER
Figure 54
Always use alkaline batteries. They perform better and last
longer.
The transmitter has ON and OFF functions that are activated
by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When
a button on the transmitter is pressed, a signal light on the
transmitter illuminates briefly to verify that a signal has been 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. If the signal light does not illuminate, check
the position of the transmitter’s battery.
REMOTE RECEIVER
Figure 55
The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteries. It
is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer
battery life and maximum microprocessor performance.
IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for
proper operation of the remote receiver.
The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to
commands from the transmitter to control system operation. The
remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the
MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF
•
With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN
button), the system will remain on until the slide switch is
placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
•
With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered),
the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives
commands
from the transmitter.
•
With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the
LEARN button), the system is off.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the
off position if you will be away from your home for
an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is
mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch
in the OFF position also functions as a safety “lock-out”
by both turning the system off and rendering the remote
receiver inoperative.
