CHILDPROOF “LOCK –OUT” –(CP)
This remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to “LOCK –OUT” operation of the fireplace,
from the TRANSMITTER.
SETTING “LOCK-OUT” – (CP)
1.
To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the UP and
TIMER/TIME buttons, together, for 5 seconds. The letters CP will
appear in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
2.
To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the UP and
TIMER/TIME buttons, together for 5 seconds or more, and the
letters CP will disappear from the LCD screen and the transmitter
will return to its normal operating condition.
NOTE: If the fireplace system is already operating in the ON, THERMO or PROGRAM MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not
cancel the operating MODE. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER. If in the auto
modes, the THERMO and/or PROGRAM operation will continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the
TRANSMITTER’S operating signals, the transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF.
THERMO FUNCTION
When the transmitter is in the THERMO mode, it should be kept away from direct sources of heat such as fireplaces, incandescent
lighting, and direct sunlight. Leaving the transmitter in direct sunlight, for example, will cause its heat-sensing diode to read the room
temperature higher than it actually is; if in THERMO mode, it may not turn on the appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is
below the SET temperature.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the FGP-305 should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the
Transmitter or Wall Transmitter no longer operates the 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, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote
receiver and the 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. The Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5
volts of battery power, measuring at the (2) 1.5 volt batteries.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the remote
control. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the
operation of the remote in the following manner:
1.
Make sure receiver batteries are installed properly. If one battery is installed backward, receiver will not operate in remote mode.
Be sure battery output is 2.5 volts or more. (Slide switch is independent of battery condition.)
2.
Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.5 V or more.
3.
Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
•
If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter they are communicating.
•
If the receiver does not beep when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter, you will need to teach the receiver the
code of the transmitter. This is done by holding the LEARN button down on the receiver (NOTE: Slide button, White or Black,
covers the Learn access hole when installed), and at the same time depress the MODE button on the transmitter. A change in
the beeping pattern, at the receiver indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver.
4.
Make sure the transmitter is within the 15’-20’ range of the receiver.
5.
Positioning of the receiver is important. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, the operation of the receiver may be
affected as noted below. Reposition the receiver to improve operating range. It is suggested that a heat shield be installed to
protect the receiver from extreme heat. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, this can:
•
Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communicate with the receiver.
•
Cause the working distance to be shorter than normal.
NOTE: A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperature inside the case exceeds 130
0
F, will cause the THERMO-
SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to “reset” the receiver’s operation.
