RECEIVER

The remote receiver operates on (4) AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the remote receiver.

The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF

•

With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.

Requires 4-AA 1.5V

alkaline batteries

•

With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.

•

With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the system is OFF.

It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the off position if you will be

away from your home for an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is

mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position

also functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off and

rendering the remote receiver inoperative.

WARNING

This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modifications of the remote control or any of its components will void the warrant and may be pose a fire hazard.

Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s specifications.

The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.

INSTALLATION

The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from both the heat produced by the gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left exposed on the hearth. PROTECTION FROM

EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130

0

F inside the receiver case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.

Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18-gage solid or stranded wires (included) be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18-gage solid or stranded wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20-foot.

WALL MOUNTING

Install (4) AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure

batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.

To attach Cover Plate to Receiver box.

Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower tab on cover plate inserted into groove of receiver

(Make sure LEARN hole on cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver) Pull Receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.

GENERAL INFORMATION

LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER

Each transmitter can use one of 65,536 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the security code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. When matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT

“LEARN” if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code Push and

Release the LEARN button on the top of the remote receiver and then Press the ANY button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver, indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new transmitter, the new security code will override the old one.

The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1-2 minutes before trying again – this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry – and try up to two or three more times.

PROGRAMING MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS TO THIS RECEIVER

NOTE: This receiver can hold from (1) to (3) different transmitter codes. This is for the times when a hand held transmitter or a second wall transmitter is required.

1. Press and release the LEARN button on the receiver.

2. When you hear the “Beep”, press and hold the ON or OFF button for about 2 seconds on the transmitter.

3. A confirming series of “Beeps” will come from the receiver to indicate that the receiver has accepted the transmitter code.

Then the receiver will operate with both transmitters.

4. When the LEARN button is pressed and the receiver makes NO “Beep” sound this indicates that the receiver is unable to accept any more transmitter codes.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

IHP: WS-S-TMR P/N 900260-00 Rev. A REV 3/18/14 Page 4 of 5

5. To clear the codes from the receiver and start programming over or add new transmitters, press and hold the LEARN button in for (10) seconds and release. Then, the receiver will emit a series of “Beeps,” indicating that the receiver has cleared all codes and is ready to accept new codes.

BATTERY LIFE

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least (1) season or (8) months. Check and replace all 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) or the remote receiver does 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 Wall

Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.4 volts of battery power, measuring at each of the 3-volt button cell batteries.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the remote. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the 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 Wall Transmitter to make sure they are good and installed correctly.

•

Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter is within 20 to 25-foot operating range.

•

Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130

0

F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 130

0

F.

• If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
