6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MERTIK MAXITROL GV60 GASCONTROL
WARNING
It is forbidden to start up the unit if window (s) is not present or broken!
Ensure that the fuel supplied to the unit is clean and free from particles and moisture.
Before a gas supply pipe (new or existing) is connected to the main gas pipe at the gas meter and to
the gas control block of the unit, clean and dry compressed air should been blown through it.
Cut copper pipes as well as aluminium pilot pipes must be deburred and blown clean before they
are connected. The dust filter at the connection to the gas control block will only filter out the
coarsest dirt from the system. Fine particles are still able to reach the inside and may damage and/or
adversely affect regulation in the gas control block .
Heat, moisture and dust are a threat to all electronic components
Protect the electronic gas control
If such work cannot be avoided, then protect the control against dirt and moisture penetration by using,
for example, plastic film .
WARNING
Electronic components will become permanently faulty when exposed to temperatures higher than 60°C.
Standard AA batteries will crack open at temperatures >54°C and the battery contents will damage the
electronic switches located underneath. Batteries last longest at <25°C. At >50°C the life span is around
23 weeks, this makes the use of the gas fire unnecessarily expensive.
Only install the gas control block and receiver as pre-installed at the factory
Remember that components may have to be replaced or that repairs may have to be performed at a later date.
This may be more difficult if the control is installed using a method that is different from the instructions
provided here.
Only place the batteries
Premature connection to the energy source may damage the control's CPU (central processor).
Ensure that the ignition cable is not near the antenna wire and that they do not cross each other.
The high voltage released at ignition may damage the sensitive receiver circuit.
This may mean that the unit becomes less responsive or not responsive at all to handset commands.
NOTICE
Do not tighten the contact breaker and the thermocouple connection too tightly on the gas control
block or to each other. It is sufficient to tighten by hand and add a half a turn with an open-end spanner.
Tightening too much will break the connection to the magnetic coil below and/or the insulation around
the aluminium contact pin in the contact breaker. This may lead to the magnetic coil not opening the gas
supply to the pilot and the unit not working.
Extend the supplied thermocouple with just the original extension. (available from your supplier)
Unauthorized extension of the thermocouple has the effect of stress reduction, thereby
the magnetic coil can not be activated.
Prevent leakage of the ignition spark to other parts of the installation than the Ignition by the pilot
Keep the ignition free of hull or other metal parts. If cable extension is used, see to it that connections are
additionally insulated with silicone grommet.
For automatic start via the transmitter, the receiver and the control the gas control valve to
be switched
The oval disk on the gas control block should be turned to the ON position. The I/0 switch should
to be set to "I". The ignition must be connected to the receiver box at the terminal SPARK.
The transmitter's contains the thermostat sensor system
The transmitter operates best at 2 to 3 m from the unit. Although the communication via short wave radio
signals takes place, it is recommended that the transmitter in the 'visibility' of to lay the gas apparatus in
a place where the user wants to experience a pleasant temperature. Place the hand transmitter in direct
sunlight or other hot places. The thermostat measures the temperature and regulates the flame size of the
gas in accordance.
Remove batteries only with the red ribbon which is under the battery, not with metal tool
Removing batteries with a metal object, the electronic control can permanently damage.
NOTICE
Waiting time of 5 minutes between each starting attempt
until
all construction, plastering and paintwork has been completed.
after
wiring to the receiver, gas control block and pilot set is connected.
