WARNING

Important Safety Information

Read this manual thoroughly prior to installing, programming or operating this remote control.

This remote control system requires three (3) AAA and four (4) AA alkaline batteries to power the transmitter

and receiver. This remote control system should only be used as described in this manual. Any other use is not

recommended and will void the warranty.

NEVER LEAVE THE TRANSMITTER HANDSET ON TOP OF THE APPLIANCE AS IT MAY DAMAGE BOTH

THE HANDSET AND THE SURFACE OF THE APPLIANCE.

NOTE

Due to the sensitive temperature monitoring components in the transmitter, it is necessary to allow the transmitter

to stabilize to room temperature before accurate room temperatures are displayed. If the transmitter is activated

from a severe cold condition, allow 15 minutes for accurate temperature readings to appear on the LCD.

Installation

Turn appliance OFF and allow to cool before installing or servicing. Any modiﬁcation of components will void the

warranty and may cause a ﬁre hazard.

Important

Dip switch settings

Under no circumstances should the remote control

be used if the dip switch settings have not been

correctly set.

Thermostatic thermostatic remote control

This hi/lo remote control system provides a safe, reliable and user-friendly remote control.

The remote can be operated in “Manual” mode by pressing the “+” button to raise the ﬁring rate or the “-”

button to reduce the ﬁring rate.

When the “Auto” button is pressed two temperatures are displayed. The upper one, showing the ambient

temperature, and the lower one, showing the set temperature. By pressing the “ON” and “OFF” buttons the

set temperature can be raised or lowered. In the “Auto” mode the ﬁring rate of the stove will be increased or

lowered to achieve an ambient temperature matching that of the set temperature.

The initial movement will be made within ﬁve seconds and thereafter at ﬁfteen minute intervals.

The unit will only instigate four consecutive movements in either direction, which will take the stove to its

maximum or minimum ﬁring rate.

For Gas only.

Identify the Dip switch number two on both the handset and the receiver, and

using a ﬁne point, such as a ball point pen, but not a pencil, move the switches

towards the number “2” identiﬁcation and away from the “on” position. The unit

will now operate by giving a 10 second pulse to turn the valve from its pilot position

to its main ﬂame position when the ambient temperature is below that set on the

handset, or return the valve to its pilot position when the ambient temperature is

above that set on the handset.

IMPORTANT

The unit must never be operated with a gas stove unless the dip

switch number 2 set to the off position

Dip switch settings

For Multifuel only.

Identify the Dip switch number two on both the handset and the receiver, and using

a ﬁne point, such as a ball point pen, but not a pencil, move the switches away from

the number “2” identiﬁcation and towards the “on” position. In this position the unit

will operate the motor for periods of approximately 2.5 seconds to raise or lower the

stove’s ﬁring rate gradually to ensure clean and efﬁcient combustion

The handset will automatically show temperature in fahrenheit unless the

handset is re-programmed to change the display to read centigrade.

To change the display to read temperature in degrees centigrade remove the

back battery access panel and identify the “reset” switch which is to the left of

the “dip switches”.

By carefully inserting, brieﬂy, a ﬁne point, for which the end of an unravelled

paper clip is ideal, the display will show every symbol in its memory for two

seconds and then change to show just the “F” symbol.

Pressing the button will change this to a

“C” symbol. The handset is now programmed

to display temperature in degrees centigrade

and after a few seconds the display will

show its normal temperature and function

Temperature display

All Temperatures Shown in Fahrenheit

The ﬁgures displayed at the top of

the screen give the temperature

detected by the sensor within

the hand set. It is important that

the unit is placed away from the

stove if the sensor is to monitor

the ambient temperature of the

room.

The ﬁgures displayed at the

bottom of the screen give the

temperature the system has

been set to achieve when the

handset has be set to “AUTO”.

When the set point is higher

than the ambient temperature

the system will increase

the stove’s heat output in

increments or hold the stove

at its maximum output.

When the set point is lower than

the ambient temperature the

system will reduce the stove’s

heat output in increments or

hold the stove at its minimum.

When no set point is displayed

the system will only respond to

the manual use of the and

the buttons to raise or lower

the heat output of the stove.

If More than One Remote System Within the Same Property

The DIP switches should normally be set with all switches in the “ON” position, in both the handset and the

receiver.

If more than one remote system is to be used in the property the transmitting code can be altered to prevent

interference between them by re-conﬁguring DIP switches “3” and”4” ensuring that their positions are identical

in both the handset and receiver.

DIP switches “1” must always remain in the

“ON” position. The units will malfunction if it

is set to the “OFF” position.

The conﬁguration of DIP switches “3” and “4”

must correspond to those in the transmitter.

The conﬁguration of DIP switches “3” and “4” must correspond to

those in the handset.
