On/Off Remote Control Kit - F1077

BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance as it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has decreased), or the remote receiver doe 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 ‘. The transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power. 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 Transmitter to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit. • Be sure receiver and Transmitter are within 20’-25’ operating range. • Keep receiver from temperatures exceeding 1300 F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 1300 F. • If receiver is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened. RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise about 5º or a maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the distance problem. B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original position and then turn adjustment screw clockwise. This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment screw, in either direction, you will go past the proper setting (tuning).
