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
• With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain on until the slide switch is
placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will
only operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the trans-
mitter.
• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button),
the system is off.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the off position if
you will be away from your home for an extended period of time. If
the remote receiver is mounted out of children's reach, placing the
slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety "lock-out"
by both turning the system off and rendering the remote receiver
inoperative.
