INTRODUCTION
This ECS's remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies
(RF) within a 20''range using non-directional signals. The system operates 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 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 wall/transmitter operates on (2) 3V Button Cell (Included) which powers the LCD screen and
powers the RF signal. These batteries are made specifically for remote controls and electronic
lighters. Before using the transmitter the 3V batteries must be installed into the battery
compartments.
It is recommended that CR2032 lithium batteries always be used for longer battery life and
maximum operational performance.
Upon initial use, there may be a delay of five seconds before the remote receiver will respond to
the transmitter. This is part of the system's design. If the LCD screen will not come on, check the
3V Button Cell battery.

When the appliance is OFF the flame icon will not appear. If the transmitter is in the thermostat mode the word (SET) will appear on the LCD screen. When the SET button is pressed the temperature digits will begin to flash. -

THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX) This ECS remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the following manner, but only in the THERMO MODE: The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature and then sends a signal to the receiver. -

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 120 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 5: Wiring Instructions
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES The remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the TH (thermostat) terminals on the terminal block on the millivolt gas valve. Connect 18 gauge stranded or solid wires from the remote receiver to the gas valve. -

(transformer) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC transformer to either of the wire terminals on the remote receiver. Connect another wire (Not included) between the other receiver wire terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. - Page 7 BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the ECS TRW-1 should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the Wall Transmitter no longer operates or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts.
