NOTICE
The antenna (see page 25) must not cross or come into contact
with the ignition wire. This will render the receiver inoperable.
Batteries – Receiver
NOTICE
Wiring of valve and receiver must be completed before starting
ignition. Failure to do so could damage the electronics.
NOTICE
The handsets and receivers are not interchangeable with
previous electronics.
To avoid damaging the electronics, do NOT use metal tools to
remove the batteries from the handset / receiver.
▪ Without using a mains adapter, battery replacement is recom-
mended at the beginning of each heating season.
▪ Old or dead batteries should be removed immediately. If left
in the unit the batteries can overheat, leak, and / or explode.
▪ Do NOT expose batteries (including during storage) to direct
sunlight, excessive heat, re, moisture, or severe impact. Each
of these conditions can cause the batteries to overheat, leak,
and / or explode.
▪ Batteries must be kept within their recommended temperature
limits (ambient battery temperature range: 32 °F to 131 °F /
0 °C to 55 °C).
▪ New and old batteries and different brands of batteries should
not be used together. Mixing of various batteries can cause
the batteries to overheat, leak, and / or explode.
▪ Low battery indication: frequent beeps for 3 seconds when mo-
tor turns.
▪ The V module for fan speed control and light / dimmer provides
the receiver with power. The batteries in the receiver can be
used for automatic backup in case of power outage.
NOTICE
To keep the receiver free from debris, dirt, and humidity, do not
remove the receiver from the plastic bag until all construction
is complete.
Radio Frequency Receiver and Handset
A code is selected automatically for all Mertik Maxitrol electronics
from among 65,000 codes available. The receiver must be paired
with the handset.
Synchronization Receiver / Symax Handset
(First time use only)
1. Insert batteries or connect AC mains power. The module for
circulating fan and light / dimmer includes a mains adapter.
With mains adapter, batteries can be used for backup.
2. Place ON / OFF switch (if equipped) to ON position.
3. The receiver has to learn the handset code:
Press and hold the receiver’s reset button (see gure 26, page
25) until you hear two (2) beeps. After the second, longer beep,
release the reset button. Within the subsequent 20 seconds
press the
button on the handset. "CONN" and a running
number from 1 to 8 are displayed on the handset confirming
the synchronization and data exchange is in process (see g-
ure 13, page 7). Two (2) short beeps conrm the code is set.
After successful synchronization the current state of the gas
re is displayed on the handset.
Figure 13: Synchronization of Symax handset in process
NOTE: This is a one time setting only, and it is not required
after changing the batteries in the handset or receiver.
NOTE: Both the receiver and the handset transmit and receive
signals (bidirectional). Handset and receiver sync sta-
tus information every 10 s during rst 2 min – afterward
every 4 to 6 min. Touching a handset button causes an
immediate synchronization.
NOTE: When the RF receiver is placed in the appliance, the
surrounding metal can reduce reception considerably.
NOTICE
The handsets and receivers are not interchangeable with
previous electronics.
Synchronization Receiver /The Puck Handset
(First time use only)
1. Insert batteries or connect AC mains power. The module for
circulating fan and light / dimmer includes a mains adapter.

2. Place ON / OFF switch (if equipped) to ON position.
3. The receiver has to learn the Puck code:
Press and hold the receiver’s reset button (see gure 26, page
25) until you hear two (2) beeps. After the second, longer beep,
release the reset button. Within the subsequent 20 seconds
press and hold the "–" button on the Puck (approx. 4 seconds)
until two (2) beeps conrm the set of the code.
NOTE: This is a one time setting only, and it is not required
after changing the batteries in the handset or receiver.

tional) and the handset transmits signals (unidirec-
tional). Handset and receiver sync status information
every 4 to 6 min.
NOTE: When the RF receiver is placed in the appliance, the
surrounding metal can reduce reception considerably.
NOTICE
The handsets and receivers are not interchangeable with
previous electronics.
