Real Flame CAPTIVA Installation & Operating Manual page 18

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATING GUIDE
In Auto mode, the RF thermostat will control the flame and the fan according to the programmed
times and temperature. The flame can be programmed to turn on or off, or change the required
temperature.
The switch off and on sequence operate as per manual operation, detailed above.
Example of Auto Operation
Set the thermostat to Monday;
Turn off at 8.00 am and set temperature of 25°C;
Lower temperature at 9.00 am with set temperature at 15°C.

WARNING
When the RF thermostat is in the "Auto" mode and the room temperature drops below the
minimum temperature, the fire and fan will come on and operate until the room temperature is 3°
above the minimum and then turn off, therefore:

At 8.00 am on Monday, the flame will start on Low, with fan off (if flame was already off)
After 3 minutes, the flame changes to highest setting, if room temperature is 22.5° or lower.
The fan will switch on High after 3 minutes and 20 seconds after the flame was lit.
As the temperature rises above 22.5°, the modulating valve will decrease the gas level one
step for every 0.5° above 22.5°. The fan will continue to operate on High.
When the room temperature reaches 22.5°, the modulating valve will operate at its lowest
setting. The fan will switch to Low speed. The flame will remain lit as long as the room
temperature is 28° or lower.
If the room temperature were to rise above 28°, the flame will be extinguished. The fan will
run for further 3 minutes on High before shutting down.
If the room temperature then drops down to 25° or lower, the flame will again be lit, and the
fan will begin after the flame-on delay.
At 9.00 am on Monday, the required room temperature is now only 15°C.
If the room temperature is above 18°, then the flame will be extinguished, with the fan
operating for a further 3 minutes.
If however the room temperature were to be below 18° for whatever reason, the flame would
remain on together with the fan. The level of the flame, or speed of the fan, will depend how
far below the 18° is the room temperature.
The minimum temperature should be set at a temperature that is not likely to cause the fire
to continually turn on and off.
If leaving the house for an extended period, the RF thermostat should be turned "OFF".
As long as the RF thermostat is in the "Auto" mode and the temperature goes below the
minimum set temperature, the fire will come on no matter what times are programmed into
the thermostat.
If you are unsure of the operation of the RF thermostat, please contact the manufacturer.
