2.3 - LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE - 3 BUTTON HIGH LEVEL CONTROL
The 3 Button High Level Control Lights the Pilot and Controls the Fire.
The side trim positioned High Level Control System is a battery operated gas fire control system that uses push buttons linked to a main
control at the base of the fire. This control system is used with an oxypilot and has all the safety features required by law and CE approval.
Note: The Centre Button is both the Ignition and Off Button.
Using the System
a. Ignition. Simultaneously press and hold the Centre Button until a short acoustic signal confirms that the sequence has
begun, then release the buttons. Continuous audible signals confirm that ignition is in progress.
When pilot ignition is confirmed the motor will open the valve to maximum flame height – this takes about 30 seconds.
When the fire is first operated and on occasions when the fire has not been used for some time the Pilot may not light after
pressing the Centre Ignition Button even though the acoustic sound may have been heard. On these occasions it may be
necessary to repeat the sequence a number times to light the pilot. This is quite normal.
b. Flame Height Adjustment. Press the bottom down arrow button until the flame height is at the desired position.
If you try to go beyond the preset low flame minimum height the fire will turn off leaving the pilot burner alight
(This is the standby position). You will learn from experience the minimum preset flame height.
c. Relighting the Fire. To relight the fire from the standby position, or to increase the flame height from low flame, press
the top up arrow.
Please note that you can have the flame height anywhere between maximum and preset low.
For fine adjustment simply tap the up or down arrows.
d. Switching Off. Press the centre button.
e. Battery Replacement. The Batteries should be replaced every season, you will notice they need changing as gradually the Push
Buttons cease to operate the Control.
f. Changing the Receiver Batteries. To change the Receiver Batteries remove the Ash Pan Cover and locate the electronic
receiver box, underneath the fire on the left hand side. Slide open the plastic cover to gain access to the battery compartment.
You can detach the Receiver by pulling it off its Velcro Pad to make access easier but remember to put it back in the same position.
Replace with 4 x AA good quality alkaline batteries, operate the Push Buttons to check the Batteries are fitted correctly.
2.4 - LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE – THERMATRONIC HAND HELD RADIO FREQUENCY CONTROL
The Thermatronic Control System is a battery operated gas fire control system that uses a microprocessor to provide the working sequences
needed by the fire, and when used with an oxypilot has all the safety features required by law and CE approval.
Commands are accepted by the microprocessor when buttons are pressed. An audible beep means that the command is received, and the
push button should immediately be released.
Using the System
Control can only be achieved if the Handset is pointed at the Fire. The red light will flash each time you press a button on the
Handset.
a. Ignition. Simultaneously press and hold the red button and the right upper button (linked by line) until a short
acoustic signal confirms that the sequence has begun, then release the buttons. Continuous audible signals confirm that
ignition is in progress. When pilot ignition is confirmed the motor will open the valve to maximum flame height – this takes
about 30 seconds.
It is normal for condensation to appear on the glass on start-up. This will clear after a minute or so.
b. Flame Height Adjustment. Press the small flame button until the flame height is at the desired position. If you try
to go beyond the preset low flame minimum height the fire will turn off leaving the pilot burner alight (this is the standby
position). You will learn from experience the minimum preset flame height.
c. Relighting the Fire. To relight the fire from the standby position, or to increase the flame height from low flame,
simultaneously press and hold the large flame button until the desired flame height is achieved.
Please note that you can have the flame height anywhere between maximum and preset low.
For fine adjustment simply tap the small or large flame buttons.
d. Switching Off. Press the red/off button on the handset.
2.5 - GENERAL
a. Battery replacement is recommended at the beginning of each heating season, or when an acoustic error message
sounds during ignition.
b. Error Message – Long signals (0.8 second tone – 0.2 second break) during ignition – probable cause batteries in electronic receiver box
are nearly discharged.
c. Error Message – 5 second continuous tone – probable cause – cable disconnected or on/off switch on valve is in off position.
d. Batteries - Electronic Receiver Box - 4 x AA good quality alkaline - Handset - 1 x PP3 good quality alkaline.
e. To change the Handset battery slide open the plastic panel on the back of the Handset.
f. To change the Receiver Batteries remove the Ash Pan Cover and locate the electronic receiver box, underneath the fire on the left hand
side. Slide open the plastic cover to gain access to the battery compartment. You can detach the Receiver by pulling it off its Velcro Pad
to make access easier but remember to put it back in the same position under the metal shield.
Note: Only Change The Batteries When The Fire Is Cold
2.6 - RESETTING THE MERTIK MAXITROL LOGIC CIRCUITS
ONLY APPLIES TO THE THERMATRONIC HAND HELD RADIO FREQUENCY CONTROL
Basic Reset - It sometimes happens that (such as when the handset buttons are pressed out of sequence) the fire stops working
because the logic circuits get confused and need to be reset.
To do this, simply remove the 4 x AA batteries from the Receiver Box (see section 2.5f above), wait for 1 minute and then refit the batteries.
Wait for another minute and then point the handset at the fire and press the red/off button. Wait for another minute and then start the fire as
normal. If the fire does not start repeat the resetting procedure. If the fire still does not work a Full Reset can be tried (see page 6).
