For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when temperatures exceed 1150 F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 1200 F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.

When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 1300 F, the THERMISTOR will automatically shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 1200 F and 1300 F, the user can reactivate the appliance by pushing the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When the ON button is pressed, the wall THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the fireplace will begin operating again. However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between

1200 F and 1300 F. This “beeping” alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 1200 F.

When the temperature drops below 1200 F, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR by pushing the MODE button to ON to operate the appliance, either manually or thermally. Allow sufficient time for the receiver to cool below 1200 F, and then press MODE button to stop beeping.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modifications of the ECS remote control or any of its components will void the warranty and may be pose a fire hazard.

Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s specifications.

The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.

INSTALLATION

The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from both the heat produced by the gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left exposed on the hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 1300 F inside the receiver case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.

Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18 gauge stranded or solid wires (included) be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18 gauge stranded or solid wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.

WALL MOUNTING

Install 4 AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
