CP (CHILDPROOF) FEATURE
This ECS remote control includes a CHILDPROOF "LOCK-OUT" feature that allows the user to "LOCK-OUT" operation of the fireplace,
from the TRANSMITTER.
SETTING "LOCK-OUT" –(CP)
• To activate the "LOCK-OUT" feature, press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds. The letters
CP will appear in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
• To disengage the "LOCK-OUT", press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds and the letters
CP will disappear from the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its normal operating condition.
• To verify that transmitter is in the CP lock-out mode press any key and the LCD screen will show "CP"
NOTE: If the fireplace is already operating in the ON or THERMOSTAT MODES, engaging the "LOCK-OUT" will not cancel the operating
MODE. Engaging the "LOCK-OUT" prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER. If in the auto modes, the THERMOSTAT
operation will continue to operate normally. To totally "LOCK-OUT" the operation of the TRANSMITTER'S operating signals; the transmit-
ter's MODE must be set to OFF.
THERMOSTAT UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This ECS remote control has a THERMOSTAT UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMOSTAT UPDATING Feature oper-
ates in the following manner, but only in the THERMOSTAT MODES:
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET tem-
perature and then sends a signal to the receiver.
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This ECS remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when
the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES – ON/OFF THERMOSTAT.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver, indicating that
the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 15 minutes,
the IC software, in the RECEIVER, will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If during this 2-hour period, the receiver
does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the fireplace being controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER
will then emit a series of rapid "beeps" for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the RECEIVER will continue
to emit a single "beep" every 4 seconds until a transmitter ON or MODE Button is pressed to reset the receiver. The intermittent 4-second
beeping will go on for as long as the receiver's batteries last which could be in excess of one year.
To "reset" the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace, you must press the ON or MODE button on the transmitter. By turning the system
to ON, the COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal operation depending on the MODE
selected at the transmitter. The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal
operating range or should the transmitter's batteries fail or be removed.
