TRANSMITTER SAFETY FEATURES
It is recommended that the TRANSMITTERS always be
located within a 20 foot operating range of the fireplace,
preferably in the same room in which the fireplace sys-
tem is located. The TRANSMITTER features several
safety features that alert the user when the TRANSMIT-
TER is placed outside the 20 foot normal operating range.
Communication-Safety Features
This remote control has a COMMUNICATION-SAFETY
function built into its software. It provides an extra mar-
gin of safety when the TRANSMITTER is out of the nor-
mal 20 foot operating range of the receiver. It is also
activated when the batteries become weak or are re-
moved from the transmitter.
In the THERMO-UPDATING feature (only in the
THERMO or TIMER modes) the transmitter normally
reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes. In addi-
tion to checking the temperature, the transmitter sends
a signal to the receiver indicating that the transmitter
and its batteries are still active.
In the COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature, at all times
and in all OPERATING MODES the transmitter sends a
signal every fifteen (15) minutes to the receiver, indicat-
ing that the transmitter is within the normal operating
range of 20 feet.
Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every
15 minutes (COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature), the RE-
CEIVER will begin a 2 HOUR (120 minute) countdown
timing function. If during this 2 hour period, the receiver
does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the RE-
CEIVER will shut down the fireplace being controlled by
the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a series of
rapid “beeps”. Then, after 10 rapid “beeps”, the RECEIVER
will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until
a transmitter signal is again received. The intermittent 4
seconds beeping will go on indefinitely until reset.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system:
1. Press the MODE button on the transmitter. The
word ON must display on the LCD screen. The COM-
MUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overridden and
the system will return to normal operation depend-
ing on the MODE selected at the transmitter.
We recommend the user check the batteries in the
TRANSMITTER to make sure the voltage is no less than
2.7 volts.
Auto Shutdown
This remote control has an Auto Shutdown feature in-
corporated into its system. When the transmitter MODE
is in the ON position the fireplace will continuously op-
erate for 9 hours. After 9 hours, the fireplace will shut
down. To relight the fireplace:
1. Press the MODE button.
The Auto Shutdown signal comes from the transmitter.
The transmitter must be positioned within a 20 foot op-
erating range for the Auto Shutdown feature to operate.
SYSTEM CHECK
Millivolt Valves
Light the appliance following the lighting instructions
that came with the fireplace. Confirm that the pilot flame
is on. It must be in operation for the main gas valve to
operate.
1. Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to
the ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire)
should ignite.
2. Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish
(the pilot flame will remain on).
3. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position),
then press the MODE button on the transmitter to
change the system to ON. The main gas flame should
ignite.
4. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change
the system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the
pilot flame will remain on).
5. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change
the system to THERMO.
6. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter
to a temperature of at least 2
0
F (1
0
C) above the
ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen
and the system flame will ignite.
7. Set the SET temperature to at least 2
0
F (1
0
C) below
the room temperature and the system flame will ex-
tinguish. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle on
Child Proof Lockout (CP)
The transmitter contains a “Child Proof” lockout feature
that prevents unauthorized use of the remote control.
To access the “Child Proof” activation button, remove
cover on BACK of transmitter. To activate LOCKOUT:
1. Press and hold in the “setting button” for 5 sec-
onds. The letters CP will display on the LCD screen
(see Figure 6). This prevents the activation of fire-
place. When any function button is pressed ON/
OFF etc. the letter CP will display on the LCD
screen.
To deactivate LOCKOUT:
1. Press and hold in the “setting button” for 5 sec-
onds. The LCD will display CP until 5 seconds have
elapsed, and then the LCD screen will return to its
normal state.
