5. Opstelling en installering
5.1 Battery installasie
Batteries are not included in the kit and must be purchased separately.
Figure 5.1: Battery requirements for the remote and receiver.
- Afstandbeheer: Requires 2 AAA batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the batteries, observing correct polarity.
- Ontvanger: Requires 4 AA batteries. Open the battery compartment on the receiver box and insert the batteries, observing correct polarity.
5.2 Receiver Wiring to Millivolt Valve
This system is designed for millivolt gas valve systems. It functions as an on/off switch and connects to the TH and TH/TP terminals of your millivolt valve.
Figure 5.2: Connecting the receiver to the millivolt gas valve.
- Ensure the gas supply to the fireplace is turned off before beginning installation.
- Locate the millivolt valve on your gas fireplace. Identify the TH and TH/TP terminals.
- Connect the two wires from the receiver to the TH and TH/TP terminals of the millivolt valve. The connection is non-polarized, so the order of the wires does not matter.
- Mount the receiver box in a suitable location, either inside the fireplace control area or on a wall using the provided wall plate and screws. Ensure it is away from direct heat.
- Restore the gas supply to the fireplace.

8. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Fireplace does not respond to remote control. | Low batteries in remote or receiver. Afstandbeheerder en ontvanger nie gekoppel nie. Receiver switch in 'OFF' position. Afstandbeheer buite bereik. | Vervang batterye in beide eenhede. Re-pair the remote and receiver (Section 5.3). Slide receiver switch to 'ON' or 'AUTO'. Move closer to the receiver (within 65 feet). |
| Fireplace turns on/off unexpectedly in AUTO mode. | Temperature sensor (in remote) affected by drafts or heat sources. Large temperature hysteresis (5°F/3°C). | Relocate the remote control to an area with stable ambient temperature, away from direct heat or cold drafts. Note that the system has a built-in 5°F (3°C) temperature differential before activating/deactivating. This is normal operation. |
| LCD-skerm is dof of leeg. | Lae batterye in afstandbeheer. | Vervang afstandbeheerbatterye. |
| Child safety lock cannot be disengaged. | Incorrect button combination or duration. | Ensure you are pressing and holding the 'Up' arrow and 'TIMER' buttons simultaneously for several seconds. |
