BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries an-
nually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter's
range has decreased) or the remote receiver doe not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the
remote receiver batteries are fully charged and provides continuous output voltage of a least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire
between the remote receiver and gas valve directly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the
wire, the more battery power is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. Recommended
length is no longer than 20 feet. The transmitter should operate with as little as 5.0 volts battery power.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the ECS
remote. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check
the operation of the ECS remote in the following manner:
• Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating
properly.
• Check battery in Transmitter to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for
tighter fit.
• Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter are within 20'-25' operating range.
• Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
130° F.
• If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: The slide button, White or Black, covers the ADJ access hole
when installed.
A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjust-
ment screw counter-clockwise about 5 degrees or a maximum of 1/8 turn.
This should correct the distance problem.
B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original
position and then turn adjustment screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment
screw, in either direction, you will go past the proper setting (tuning).
