ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING OPTIONS SWING TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL
The thermo-transmitter operates the fireplace system whenever the
ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the
SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of a
fireplace system may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well
the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. A smaller
“swing number” increases the number of cycles so the room
temperature is more constant. A larger “swing number” decreases the
number of cycles, which saves energy, in most cases. The factory
setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature
variation of +/- 2
0
F (1
0
C ) between SET temperature and ROOM
temperature which determines when the fireplace will be activate. The
“SWING” number values are:
1= +/- 1
0
F (.5
0
C ), 2= +/- 2
0
F (1
0
C ), 3 = +/-3
0
F (1.6
0
C ).
1 To change the temperature “SWING” setting (1-3), press the AHEAD +
BACK
buttons simultaneously to display the current “SWING”
2 setting in the SET TEMP frame. The word SWING will display on the LCD
screen.
3 Press the UP
or DOWN button to change the temperature differential or
“SWING” (1-3). See above for 1-3 “SWING” temperature values.
4 To store the “swing number”, press the SET
button or allow 15 seconds to
lapse, and the new “swing number” will be
automatically programmed.
MANUAL CHECK OF “SWING” OR TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL
The operation of the factory set “THERMO SWING” can be checked by adjusting the SET TEMP 2
0
F above or below the room temperature.
This will cause the system to turn ON or OFF. Normally the system will only respond to temperature changes every two minutes. Manually
changing the SET temperature will activate the system in less than 10 seconds. If the “SWING” is changed, then a new room temperature
differential will respond. Factory setting of SWING temperature is 2
0
F.
OPERATIONAL NOTE:
TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ARE ONLY RECORDED EVERY TWO
MINUTES. Additionally, to prevent repeated thermo-cycling of the gas appliance, the sensing unit in the transmitter will only activate the
remote receiver when the temperature change exceeds 2
0
F (1
0
C ) above or below the SET (desired) temperature. However, if the
“SWING” setting has been changed from the factory setting (2
0
F /1
0
C ), then thermo-cycling will activate at the new setting of the “SWING”
number.
MANUAL CHECK OF THERMO OPERATION
The operation of the Thermo setting can be checked on demand by adjusting the SET temperature 2
0
F above or below the room
temperature, which will cause the system to turn ON or OFF, respectively. Normally, however, the system will only respond to temperature
changes every two minutes. NOTE: if “SWING” number has been changed, then activation will occur at the new “SWING” setting.
When the gas fireplace system is activated, a FLAME icon will display on the LCD screen indicating a signal has been sent from the
transmitter.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THERMO OPERATION – (Systems operates thermostatically based on SET TEMP setting, ONLY)
SETTING DESIRED ROOM TEMPERATURE
This remote control system can be thermostatically controlled when
the transmitter is in the THERMO mode (THERMO must be displayed
on the screen).
1. To set the DESIRED room temperature, press the MODE
button to place the transmitter into THERMO mode. THERMO
ON or OFF will display.
