GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 255 unique security codes. It
may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the
security code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are
replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your
dealer or the factory. When matching security codes, be sure
slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code
will NOT “LEARN” if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position.
Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by
pushing and releasing the learn button. A single "beep" will sound.
Press the "ON" button on the remote control, until three "beeps"
sound. The three "beeps" are the signal that the receiver has
learned the new code. When an existing receiver is matched to a
new transmitter, the new security code will override the old one.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching
procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are
unsuccessful in matching the security code on the first attempt,
wait 1-2 minutes before trying again – this delay allows the
microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry – and try up to two or
three more times.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries is longer and
performance better than other batteries. Check and replace
all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates
the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the
transmitter’s range has decreased) or the remote receiver does
not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important
that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged and provides
continuous output voltage of a least 5.3 volts. The length of the
wire between the remote receiver and gas valve directly affects
the operating performance of the remote system. The longer
the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver signals
between the remote receiver and the gas valve. Recommended
length is no longer than 20 feet. The transmitter should operate
with as little as 5.0 volts battery power.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the
problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the
ECS remote. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation
manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then
check the operation of the ECS remote in the following manner:
•
Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the
RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from
operating properly.
•
Check battery in Transmitter to make sure contacts are
touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in
for tighter fit.
•
Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter are within 20’-25’
operating range.
•
Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130
°
F.
Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
130
°
F.
•
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround,
the operating distance will be shortened.
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: The slide button, White or Black, covers the ADJ
access hole when installed.
A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver.
Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise about 5
degrees or a maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the
distance problem.
B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment
screw to original position and then turn adjustment screw
clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the
adjustment screw, in either direction, you will go past the proper
setting (tuning).
