COVER
Important: Review ‘Auto Shutdown’ section. This safety
feature shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous
operation, in ON mode only.
Important: New batteries are essential for proper opera-
tion of the multi-function transmitter. The transmitter oper-
ates on 2 AAA-size 1.5V batteries. Use Alkaline batteries
for longer battery life and maximum operational performance.
Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5V batteries into the battery compart-
ment on the back of the transmitter. When the batteries are
correctly inserted, the screen will display numbers (see
Figure 7 for LCD Display Screen).

TRANSMITTER SAFETY FEATURES
It is recommended that the TRANSMITTERS always be lo-
cated within a 20 foot operating range of the fireplace, pref-
erably in the same room in which the fireplace system is
located. The TRANSMITTER features several safety features
that alert the user when the TRANSMITTER is placed out-
side the 20 foot normal operating range.
Light the appliance following the lighting instructions that
came with the fireplace. Confirm that the pilot flame is on. It
must be in operation for the main gas valve to operate.
1. Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the
ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should
ignite.
Thermo-Safety and Communication-Safety Features
This remote control has both a THERMO-SAFETY and
COMMUNICATION-SAFETY function built into its software.
It provides an extra margin of safety when the TRANSMIT-
TER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the re-
ceiver. It is also activated when the batteries become weak
or are removed from the transmitter.
2. Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the
pilot flame will remain on).
3. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then
press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the
system to ON. The main gas flame should ignite.
4. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the
system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot
flame will remain on).
In the THERMO-SAFETY feature (only in the THERMO or
TIMER modes) the transmitter normally reads the ROOM
temperature every 2 minutes. In addition to checking the
temperature, the transmitter sends a signal to the receiver
indicating that the transmitter and its batteries are still ac-
tive.
5. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the
system to THERMO.
6. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a
temperature of at least 20 F (10 C) above the ROOM tem-
perature displayed on the LCD screen and the system
flame will ignite.
7. Set the SET temperature to at least 20 F (10 C) below the
room temperature and the system flame will extinguish.
Thereafter, it should continue to cycle on and off thermo-
statically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM
temperature changes, but only when the temperature dif-
ferential between ROOM and SET temperatures differs
at least 20 F (10 C). The 20 F differential is the factory set-
ting.
In the COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature, at all times and
in all OPERATING MODES the transmitter sends a 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 2
minutes (THERMO-SAFETY feature) or 15 minutes (COMMU-
NICATION-SAFETY feature), 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 se-
ries of rapid “beeps”. Then, after 10 rapid “beeps”, the RE-
CEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds
until a transmitter signal is again received. The intermittent 4
second beeping will go on indefinitely until reset.
Electronic Ignition System
1. Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the
ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking
to ignite the pilot (the pilot may ignite after only one spark).
After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open
and the main gas flame should ignite.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system:
1. Press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word
ON must display on the LCD screen. The THERMO-
SAFETY and COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is
2. Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot
flame should BOTH extinguish.
3. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position).

4. Then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change
the system to ON. The spark electrode should begin
sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main
gas valve should open and the main gas flame should
ignite.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Transmitter Wall Bracket
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the bracket
provided. Locate the bracket on an inside wall sufficiently
far away from direct sources of heat such as a fireplace,
incandescent lighting, or sunlight so it detects ambient room
temperatures, not a single heat source. If the bracket is
installed on a solid wood wall, drill 1/8 inch pilot holes and
install with the screws provided. If it is installed on a plas-
ter/wallboard wall, first drill two 1/4 inch holes into the wall,
then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors
flush with the wall, then install the screws provided.
5. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to OFF. The
main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
6. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change
the system to THERMO.
7. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to tem-
perature of at least 20 F (10 C) above the room tempera-
ture displayed on the LCD screen and the system flame
will ignite.
Transmitter Battery Life
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter
should be at least one season. Check batteries annually.
When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver
from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range
has decreased) the batteries should be checked.
8. Set the SET temperature to at least 20 F (10 C) below the
room temperature and the system will extinguish. There-
after, it should continue to cycle on and off thermostati-
cally approximately every two minutes as the ROOM tem-
perature changes, but only when the temperature differ-
ential between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at
least 20 F (10 C). The 20 F differential is the factory setting.
Receiver Batteries
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the receiver one
burn season. Replace with 4AA alkaline batteries at the
beginning of each burn season.
Timer Operation
The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or
THERMO mode. Once the fireplace system is in an operat-
ing mode, set the countdown timer to turn off in 15 minutes.
The timer function will allow operation to continue until the
“countdown time” on the LCD screen expires.After 15 min-
utes elapses, the system should turn off.

Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communi-
cate with the receiver.
Troubleshooting
To check the operation of the remote:
1. Make sure receiver batteries are installed properly. If one
battery is installed backward, receiver will not operate in
remote mode. Be sure battery output is 5.3 volts or more.
(Slide switch is independent of battery condition).
Cause the working distance to be shorter than nor-
mal.
NOTE:Areceiver located in an area, where the ambient
temperature inside the case exceeds 1300 F, will cause
the THERMO-SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to
reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to
“reset” the receiver’s operation.
2. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed
and that the battery output is 2.7V or more.
3. Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating
with the receiver.
