Page 41: Frbtc Remote Instructions
FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating appliances. This all battery system operates independently of household current. The system operates on radio frequencies with a non-directional signals. The SYSTEM’s operating range is approximately 20 feet. The system operates on one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver’s code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use. Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and THERMOSTAT SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE RECEIVER section. These signal/temperature safety features shut down the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition exists. The remote control system offers the user a battery-operated remote control. The transmitter operates on (2) 1.5V AAA batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational performance. Before using the transmitter, install the (2) AAA transmitter batteries into the battery compartment. (Use caution that batteries are installed in the proper direction) KEY SETTINGS • ON - Operates unit to on position, Manually ON. • OFF - Operates unit to off position, Manually OFF. • MODE - Changes unit from manual mode to thermostat mode. • SET - Sets temperature in thermostat mode. DISPLAY Indicates CURRENT room temperature . °F OR °C Indicates degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. - Page 42 FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS SETTING °F / °C SCALE The factory setting for temperature is °F. To change this setting to °C, first • Press the ON key and the OFF key on the transmitter at the same time this will change from °F to °C. Follow this same proce- dure to change from °C back to °F. MANUAL FUNCTION To operate the system in the manual “MODE” does the following. ON OPERATION Press the ON key the fireplace flame will come on. During this time the LCD screen will show ON, after 3 seconds the LCD screen will default to display room temperature and the word TEMP will show. (Flame icon will appear on LCD screen in on mode) OFF OPERATION Press the OFF key the fireplace flame will shut off. During this time...
- Page 43 FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATIONAL NOTES: The Thermostat Feature on the transmitter operates the fireplace whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFEREN- TIAL. The normal operating cycle of an fireplace may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2°F (1°C) between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which determines when the fireplace will be activated. This function is pre-set at the factory. The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OFF will appear on the LCD screen to show while the signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system’s design. REMOTE RECEIVER CAUTION: THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F. The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the remote receiver. The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system opera- tion. It emits one beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling on and off automati- cally in THERMOSTAT mode. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/ REMOTE/OFF •...
- Page 44 FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS CP (CHILDPROOF) FEATURE This ECS remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to “LOCK-OUT” operation of the fireplace, 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 fireplace is already operating in the ON or THERMOSTAT 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 THERMOSTAT operation will continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the TRANSMITTER’S operating signals; the transmit- ter’s MODE must be set to OFF. THERMOSTAT UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX) This ECS remote control has a THERMOSTAT UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMOSTAT UPDATING Feature oper- ates in the following manner, but only in the THERMOSTAT MODES: The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET tem- perature and then sends a signal to the receiver.
- Page 45 FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS THERMOSTAT SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX) This ECS remote control has a THERMOSTAT SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is temperature- activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient tempera- tures exceed 130°F degrees inside the receiver case. The THERMOSTAT SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the fireplace is in opera- tion. The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the receiver’s microprocessors. For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when temperatures exceed 115°F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 115°F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heat- ing and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy. When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130°F, the THERMISTOR will auto- matically shut the fireplace down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120°F and 130°F, the user can reactivate the fireplace by pushing the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When the MODE button is pressed to ON, the THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the fireplace will begin operating again. However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between 120°F and 130°F. This “beeping” alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120°F. When the temperature drops below 120°F, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR by pushing the MODE button to ON to operate the fireplace, either manually or thermally. Allow sufficient time for the receiver to cool below 120°F, and then press MODE button to stop beeping. 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 RE-...
- Page 46 FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries an- nually. 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 doe not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged and provides continuous output voltage of a least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and gas valve directly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. Recommended length is no longer than 20 feet. The transmitter should operate with as little as 5.0 volts battery power. TROUBLE SHOOTING If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the ECS remote. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the ECS remote in the following manner: • Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly. • Check battery in Transmitter to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit. • Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter are within 20’-25’ operating range. • Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 130° F. • If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened. RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT NOTE: The slide button, White or Black, covers the ADJ access hole when installed. A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjust- ment screw counter-clockwise about 5 degrees or a maximum of 1/8 turn.

Page 47: Automatic Humidifier Operation
AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efficiency Fireplace has an automat- ic humidifier designed into the fireplace. As the fireplace operates, condensate is created and is collected in a tank inside the fire- place. The condensate pump will take the collected condensate and pump it to a stainless steel tray where it evaporates into the airstream adding humidity to the heated space. Note: When the automatic humidifier is engaged and is transfer- ring the condensate, there may be a noticeable hissing sound. This is normal, and the sound should persist for less than 30 sec- onds. -
