SYSTEM CHECK
MILLIVOLT VALVES
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be in
operation for the main gas valve to operate.
• Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should ignite.
• Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).
• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The
main gas flame should ignite.
• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).
• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a
temperature of a least 2
0
F (1
0
C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this manual setting, the normal
thermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET temperature to at least 2
0
F (1
0
C) below the room
temperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle to on and off
thermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differential
between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 2
0
F (1
0
C). The 2
0
F differential is the factory setting.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS
•
Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot (the
pilot may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should ignite.
• Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The
spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame
should ignite.
• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a
temperature of at least 2
0
F (1
0
C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this manual setting the normal
thermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET temperature to at least 2
0
F (1
0
C) below the room
temperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle to on and off
thermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differential
between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 2
0
F (1
0
C). (The 2
0
F differential is the factory setting).
TIMER
The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the appliance is in an operating mode, set the
countdown timer to turn off in 15 minutes. The timer function will allow operation to continue until the countdown “time” on the LCD screen
expires. After 15 minutes elapses, the system should turn OFF.
If you have any problems with operation, recheck you connections and ensure transmitter batteries are fully charged. If no problem is
found, contact the dealer where you purchased your appliance/remote control.
GENERAL INFORMATION
THERMO FUNCTION
When the transmitter is in the THERMO mode, it should be kept away from direct sources of heat such as fireplaces, incandescent lighting,
and direct sunlight. Leaving the transmitter in direct sunlight, for example, will cause its heat-sensing diode to read the room temperature
higher than it actually is; if in THERMO mode, it may not turn on the appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SET
temperature.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SUPER STAR 1030TH should be at least 12 months. Check all batteries annually. When the
Transmitter or Wall Transmitter no longer operates the receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has decreased)
or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully
charged, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and the 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. The Transmitter or Wall Transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power,
Measuring at the 12 volt battery.
