GENERAL INFORMATION
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER
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 THERMOSTAT.
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.
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 1,048,576 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 OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code
Press and Release
the
LEARN
button on the top of the remote receiver and then
press
any button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the
receiver, indicates the transmitter's code has been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new
transmitter, the new security code will overwrite 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.
