Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX Tag Name Min Max Step Default Unit Remarks 42021 Min wave height 0 100 1 5 % For the burner this is the minimal flame height for the wave.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX Figure 12: LED blinking pattern according to blinking rate For connecting external user interface: see Appendix A 4.3 Switch potentiometer (10k) The potentiometer is used to set the required load (see Figure 13) and has to be connected to connector JP1. To prevent the fireplace from being switched on automatically after a power-up, or a reset, the potentiometer must be switched off first. Once the potentiometer has been switched off, the required load can be set again.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX For connecting external user interface: see Appendix A. 4.4 PIR sensor input A PIR sensor can be connected, see Appendix A, to control the demand using presence detection. For the time that at least the main burner is on, after a timeout of not noticing a person, the demand is set to 0. Depending on if the system has a pilot flame available, the pilot flame always remains active. Once the demand was set to 0, only a user action can turn on the burner again.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX Figure 14. Connector JP1 The main burner is ignited when at least 1 volt is supplied to the configured input. When the 0-10V limiter input function is selected, it will override all other demands from the moment at least 1 volt is supplied. Only a powercycle clears this 0-10V demand. The linear flame height mapping of 1 – 10 volt depends if second burner is available. In case of only main burner available, the main burner is operated by the 1 – 10 volt input.

Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 5 Boost fan and light option As illustrated in Figure 1, the DFGT offers an option to control a boost fan or light. These can be configured on the outputs, as described in Appendix B. 5.1 Wiring The boost fan and light can be connected to the Triac outputs on connector X5, the relay on X6 or the relay output on the ESYS. When configuring a light or boost fan on a Triac output, it is recommended to configure the output as a modulated output. See Appendix B.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 5.3 Enable or disable user control To enable or disable user control of the boost fan and light. The following two settings can be configured. The settings specify if the light/boost fan are available and their behavior upon ignition of the fireplace.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX User input (%) Output level (%) 30% 37 40% 44 50% 50 60% 56 70% 63 80% 70 90% 80 100% 100 An input percentage that does not map exactly to an output percentage is mapped linearly. For example: a user input of 85%, will be mapped to 75%. Tables are set via a separate function in I2C service tool (see documentation chapter 4.3) or production tool. 5.6 Boost fan features The boost fan features settings to specify the control behavior.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 5.7 Light features The light offers a feature to follow a user defined wave table. This can be the wave which is applied to the burner(s), or its own defined wave. The following settings are related: Tag Name Min Max Step Default Unit 32 Wave available 0 1 1 0 - 42020 Wave interval 0 240 1 15 s Remarks This is the interval for which the next entry of the burner wave table is applied.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX The amplitude of the wave for the light depends on the selected light level.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX Figure 17: Example 2 of a light wave table The wave for the light is activated with the Light wave selection setting and can be active concurrently with the wave for the flame height when the burner is on. The light can follow the wave for the flame height instead of its own wave. This can be specified by the setting. The light then uses the same pattern index as the flame height.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 6 Wave The DFGT can vary the flame height according to a wave pattern. The wave pattern can be configured with the Production Tool. 6.1 Wave features The wave consists of a pattern of maximum 20 intervals each with its own flame height. This pattern is constantly repeated. The pattern starts with the flame height of the first interval. When the interval time expires, the flame height of the next interval is set.

Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 8 Bluetooth Low-Energy This chapter describes the BLE features for the DFGT-03MCB23. 8.1 Radio Configuration The DFGT-03MCB23 can operate with Ramses RF or BLE. Whether Ramses RF or BLE is required can be changed via setting tag 58 Radio Configuration. By default, the radio is configured to use Ramses RF.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 9 Binding of devices The DFGT supports binding modes to bind: (1) Remote control (DFRC) Person presence detector (PIR RF) Gateway (BRDG) Device or remote control with Bluetooth (1) (1) (2) The devices have their own way to enable binding mode. (1) DFGT-03MC18 or DFGT-03MCB23 configured for Ramses RF (2) DFGT-03MCB23 9.1 Entering binding mode The DFGT enables binding mode by default after power-up. Binding mode is active for 5 minutes.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 10 Mounting The way the DFGT is mounted, is very important for a correct operation of the DFGT. The DFGT must be mounted in such a way that sufficient cooling of the electronics is possible. Furthermore, the DFGT may not be closed in by metal while this will disturb the transmission of the RF signals. The DFGT has also a clear preference for the direction of the RF signals. This means that the transmission in this direction is much better than in any other direction.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX A free space around the DFGT of at least 3 cm is recommended (see Figure 16). The ambient temperature of the DFGT and the Burner Control may not exceed 60°C. When the internal temperature of the unit rises above 60°C the unit goes to Fault mode. Only when the internal temperature of the unit drops below 40°C the unit can leave Fault mode by resetting the fault. 10.

Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 11 RF Transmission The transmission of RF signals is best if the path of the RF signals is free. Metal objects will completely block the RF signals and therefore cause bad performance. The position of the Remote Control is not only important when the Remote Control is operated by the user, but also when the Decorative Fire is already on. The signal strength is visible on the DF-RC and the DF-SE controls. 11.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX Figure 21: Mandatory metal free space around RF antenna inside the DFGT The crossing of the arrows in Figure 19 indicates the position of the RF-antenna inside the DFGT. Figure 20 gives two examples of the influence of the position of the free path in relation with the signal strength. In both examples, the DFGT is positioned in such a way that the preferred direction of the RF signal is to the front of the Decorative Fire.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 11.3 Guidelines Assumed is that the Remote Control or BLE device is located at the front of the Decorative Fire (within sight). To achieve good communication, keep the following in mind: 1. A larger distance between the DFGT and the Remote Control or BLE device will reduce the RSSI-level. 2. Positioning the Remote Control or BLE device further from the preferred direction of the DFGT will reduce the RSSI level. 3.
Quick Start Guide – DFGT-03MCXXX 12 Diagnostics To check the overall operating of the DFGT you can use the following aids: 1. Operating counters (readable via service tool, DFRC-SE, BRDG and BLE device) 2. Fault codes (visible on Remote control and readable via service tool DRFC-SE, BRDG and BLE device) 3. Fault counters (readable via service tool DFRC-SE, BRDG and BLE device) 4. Fault history (readable via service tool DFRC-SE, BRDG and BLE device) 12.
