REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
NOTE
: Up to 6.3 VDC of power is provided at the
receiver terminal.
GENERAL INFORMATION
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its 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, in all OPERATING MODES – ON/ ON THERMO.
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 appliance 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 ON or MODE Button is pressed to reset the
receiver. 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 appliance, you must press the ON or MODE button on the transmitter. 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.
CP (CHILDPROOF) FEATURE
This remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to “LOCK-OUT” operation of the appliance,
from the TRANSMITTER.
SETTING “LOCK-OUT” –(CP)
•
To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds. The
letters CP will appear in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
•
To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds and the letters
CP will disappear from the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its normal operating condition.
•
To verify that transmitter is in the CP lock-out mode press any key and the LCD screen will show “CP”
NOTE: If the appliance is already operating in the ON or THERMO 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
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.
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter
security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In
order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the
receiver will
not
LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver;
inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver or end of a paperclip gently press and release the black LEARN button
inside the hole. When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”. After the receiver emits the beep press
the transmitter ANY button and release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted
into the receiver.
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.
