THERMO UPDATING FEATURE
–TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
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 MODES:
The transmitter reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET
temperature and then sends a signal to the receiver.
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.
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 paper clip 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.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the 1001TH-A should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries
annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote 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 combined output voltage of at least
5.3 volts. The transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts battery power.
