TRANSMITTER
TRANSMITTER OPERATING DISTANCE
The remote control operates on RF (radio frequency) signals that are sent by the TRANSMITTER (remote) to the
RECEIVER that operates the appliance. It is recommended that the TRANSMITTER always be located within the 20-foot
operating range, preferably in the same room in which the appliance is located.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER
This remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature
operates in the following manner, but only in the THERMO and PROGRAM modes.
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes; checking the ROOM temperature against the
SET temperature by sending a signal to the receiver.

COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This series remote controls have a COMMUNICATION – SAFETY function built into the software. It provides an extra
margin of safety when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner for all OPERATING MODES: ON/THERMO/
OFF.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver,
indicating that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20-feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a
transmitter signal every 15 minutes, the IC software, in the RECEIVER 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 receiver will
shut down the fireplace being controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a
period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the RECEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every
4 seconds until a transmitter signal is again received. The intermittent 4-second beeping will go on for as long as the
receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button on the transmitter. The
word ON must display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION SAFETY operation is
overridden and the system will return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter.
The COMMUNICATION SAFETY feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range
or should the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
