REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver
to accept the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter
is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code,
be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide
switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the
small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver or end of a paperclip gently press and release the black
LEARN button inside the hole. When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible "beep".
After the receiver emits the beep press the transmitter ANY button and release. The receiver will emit several
beeps indicating that the transmitter's code has been accepted into the receiver.
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.
BATTERY LIFE
Replace all batteries regularly. 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, providing
combined output voltage of at least 5.5volts. The hand held transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts
battery power.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function.
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be the fireplace itself or it could be
with the CON1001-TH remote system. 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 TRANSMITTER to ensure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal
contacts in for tighter fit.
•
Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER is within 20-feet operating range.
•
Clear Codes: Memory in the receiver might be full if the learn button is pressed too many times. If this
happens it will not allow any more codes to be learned and no audible beep will be heard. To clear memory,
place the receiver slide switch into the REMOTE position. Press the learn button and release after 10
seconds. You should hear three (3) long audible beeps indicating all codes have cleared. You can now
"learn" the transmitter to the receiver as described in the General Information Section.
•
Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures
are above 115° F.
•
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
•
Rechargeable batteries should not be used. They do not supply sufficient power to operate the remote
system.
