receiver The Proflame Receiver (Fig. 3) connects directly to the gas valve stepper motor, and to the Fan Control Module with a wiring harness. The receiver is powered by 4 AA type batteries. The receiver accepts commands via radio frequency from the Transmitter to operate the appliance in accordance with the particular Proflame system configuration. The Receiver slider switch can be set to one of these three positions: ON (Manual Override), Remote (Remote control) or OFF. 12 PIN terminal PRg Key 3 Positions Slider Fig.

DFc control BoArD The Proflame Digital Fireplace Control (DFC) board is a device that allows the automatic ignition and pilot flame supervision, to command the functions of a hearth appliance, see fig.4A. It’s configured to control the ON/OFF main burner operation, giving the choice of both IPI (intermittent pilot ignition), and CPI (continuous pilot ignition) modes. The Proflame DFC board controls and connects directly to the pilot assembly and an automatic valve of the Proflame 880, 886 and 885 families using low electric power. The DFC Board can be powered by an AC/DC wall adaptor and battery pack for back up (Stand Alone System). When used with the Proflame Remote System, with or without a split flow valve, the DFC Board can be powered by an AC/DC wall adaptor via specific wire harness using the receiver batteries for back up (GTM System). Additionally, the DFC Board can be powered by the Fan Control Module (FCM) via specific wire harness using the receiver batteries for back up (GTMF System).
installatiOn Receiver The receiver can be placed inside a standard junction type wall box or a low temperature area of the appliance. wall Mounting 1. Connect the wiring harness to the back of the receiver. 2. Install the receiver in the Junction box using the existing J box screws. (Fig. 5) 3. Insert the 4 AA type batteries in the battery compartment with the correct polarity. 4. Place the slider into the cover plate. 5. Put the receiver switch in the “OFF” position. 6. Make sure the receiver and cover plate words “ON”and “UP” are on the same side.

Preliminary check Of a standalOne PrOflame system Before applying any power supply to the DFC board please verify that the electrical connections are in accordance to Fig. 6A Initializing the System for the first time Set the main burner ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. If installed, set the pilot flame mode selector switch to the IPI position. Install 4 AA batteries into the battery holder, and respect the polarity indicated on the battery holder silkscreen. Connect the battery holder to the DFC’s main wiring harness.
OPeratinG PrOcedUre fOr a remOte cOntrOl system Initializing the System for the first time Install the 4 AA batteries into the receiver battery bay. Note the polarity of the battery and insert into the battery bay as indicated on the Battery cover (+/-). Place the 3 position slider switch in the “REMOTE” position. (fig. 3) Insert the end of the paper clip or similar object into the hole marked “PRG” on the Receiver front cover (fig 3). The Receiver will “beep” three (3) times to indicate that it is ready to synchronize with a Transmitter. Install the 3 AAA type batteries in the Transmitter battery bay, located on the base of the Transmitter. With the batteries already installed in the Transmitter, push the ON button. The Receiver will “beep” four times to indicate the Transmitter’s command is accepted.
Flame Height Control Proflame gT: with the system on, and the flame present in the appliance, pressing the Down Arrow Key (Fig. 1) will turn OFF the flame while the remote system is still on. If the Up Urrow Key is pressed while in the above described state the flame will come on. ( Fig. 9A & 9D) Proflame gTM & gTMF: has six (6) flame levels. With the system on, and the flame level at the maximum in the appliance, pressing the Down Arrow Key (Fig. 1) once will reduce the flame...
Room Thermostat ( Transmitter Operation) The Remote Control can operate as a room thermostat. The thermostat can be set to a desired temperature to control the comfort level in a room. To activate this function, press the Thermostat Key (Fig. 1). The LCD display on the Transmitter will change to show that the room thermostat is “ON” and the set temperature is now displayed (Fig. 10). To adjust the set temperature, press the Up or Down Arrow Keys until the desired set temperature is displayed on the LCD screen of the Transmitter (Fig. 11).

Fan Speed Control (Proflame gTMF & gTMFS only) If the appliance is equipped with a hot air circulating fan, the speed of the fan can be controlled by the Proflame system. The fan speed can be adjusted through six (6) speeds. To activate this fun- ction use the Mode Key (fig.1) to index to the fan control icon (Fig. 14). Use the Up/Down Arrow Keys (Fig.1) to turn on, off or adjust the fan speed (fig. 15). A single “beep” will confirm reception of the command. Fig. 14 Fig. 15 Remote Actuated 120v Auxiliary Outlet (Proflame gTMF & gTMFS only) The auxiliary function controls the AUX power outlet on the Fan Control Module. To activate this function use the Mode Key (fig. 1) to index to the AUX icon (fig. 16 & 17). Pressing the Up Arrow Key will activate the outlet. Pressing the Down Arrow Key will turn the outlet off. A single “beep” will confirm the reception of the command.
Key lock This function will lock the keys to avoid unsupervised operation. To activate this function, press the MODE and UP keys at the same time (Fig. 18). To de-activate this function, press the MODE and UP keys at the same time. Fig. 18 Low Battery Power detection Transmitter The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the transmitter batteries are low, an Icon will appear on the LCD display of the transmitter (Fig. 19) before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear. Fig. 19 Receiver The life span of the receiver batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the receiver batteries are low, No “beep” will be emitted from the receiver when it receives an On/Off command from the transmitter. This is an alert for a low battery condition for the receiver. When the batteries are replaced the “beep” will be emitted from the receiver when the ON/OFF key is pressed (See Initialization of The System).
