Location of Receiver
When the RF-receiver is placed in the appliance, the
surrounding metal can reduce reception considerably.
The position of the antenna on the receiver also
influences reception. The antenna must not come in
contact or cross the ignition wire.
Automatic Pilot Mode with Thermostat Remote
If there is no transmission from the handset to the
receiver within a 6 hour time period, the appliance will
go to standby (pilot) mode.
GENERAL NOTES
A code is preset for all Mertik Maxitrol electronics, but
can be changed if required. If you wish to change the
code, complete the following:
1. Change DIP switch position (see figure 6).
2. Press and hold the receiver’s reset button until you
hear two (2) acoustic signals. After the second longer
acoustic signal, release the reset button and within
the subsequent 20 seconds, press the  (down
arrow) on the remote handset until you hear an ad-
ditional long acoustic signal confirming the new code
is set (see figure 7).

separate button left for switching off (see figure 5).

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery replacement is recommended at the beginning
of each heating season. Batteries need to be changed
when an acoustic error message is heard. Do not use
metallic tooling. Metallic tooling could cause a short
that may render the receiver inoperable.
