INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas
heating appliance. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on
radio frequencies (RF) within a 20 feet range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of 1,048,576 secu-
rity 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 THERMO SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE
RECEIVER section. These signal/temperature safety features shut down the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition
exists.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE
The transmitter operates on 2AAA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE bat-
teries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational performance.
IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the multi-
function transmitter.
Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5 V batteries into the battery transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends
of the batteries as indicated on the casing. When the batteries are inserted, the screen below
(with similar numbers) will display.
Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the position of the batteries.
Note: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring
components in the transmitter, it may be necessary to
allow the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature
before accurate room temperatures are displayed
on the screen. If the transmitter is activated from a
severe cold condition, it can take up to fifteen minutes
for accurate temperature readings to appear.

Page 6: Operating Instructions
OPERATIONAL NOTE: TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ARE ONLY RECORDED EVERY TWO MINUTES. Additionally, to prevent repeated thermo-cycling of the gas appliance, the sensing unit in the transmitter will only activate the remote receiver when the temperature change exceeds 2°F (1°C) above or below the SET (desired) temperature. However, if the “SWING”... -

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 fol- lowing manner, but only in the THERMO and PROGRAM MODES: The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature it sends a signal to the receiver. -
Page 9: Installation Instructions
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 heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy. -

Page 12: Battery Life
BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the FRBTP-1 should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annu- ally. When the Transmitter or Wall Transmitter no longer operates the 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. -

6. Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and heat conditions to the receiver, some units may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication and operating distance between the transmitter and the receiver. See RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT.
