Adjusting the Flame Height -

Operates in ON or THERMO mode

This remote control system allows the user to control the height of the FLAME when the gas valve is factory equipped with a FLAME CONTROLLER.

1.Press and release FLAME button to change flame height to HI (see Figure 8, Location #5), (a second flame icon appears).

2.Press again to return flame to normal state.

Low/Battery Indicator

An “X” outlined by a battery on the right side of the LCD screen will appear when battery power has dropped sig- nificantly. At this time, approximately two weeks of battery power remains.

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 seconds. The letters CP will display on the LCD screen (see Figure 8). This prevents the activation of fireplace. 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 seconds. The LCD will display CP until 5 seconds have elapsed, and then the LCD screen will return to its normal state.

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 system is located. The TRANSMITTER features several safety features that alert the user when the TRANSMITTER is placed outside the 20 foot normal operating range.

Thermo-Updating and Communication-Safety Fea- tures

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. It is also activated when the batteries become weak or are removed 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 addition to checking the temperature, the transmitter sends a signal to the receiver in- dicating 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, indicating 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 tim- ing 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”. 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 second 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 COMMUNICA- TION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal operation depending 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 incor- porated into its system. When the transmitter MODE is in the ON position the fireplace will continuously operate for 9 hours. After 9 hours, the fireplace will shut down. To relight the fireplace:

1.Press the MODE button. The fireplace will operate continuously for up to 9 hours before Auto Shutdown repeats cycle. The Auto Shutdown signal comes from the transmitter. The transmitter must be positioned within a 20 foot operating 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 2º F (1º C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen and the system flame will ignite.
