GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 255 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the security code
of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. When
matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT "LEARN" if the slide switch is in
the OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by pushing in the LEARN button on the top of the remote
receiver and then pressing any button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver, indicates the transmitter's code has
been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new transmitter, the new security code will overwrite the old
one.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in matching
the security code on the first attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again--this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry--
and try up to two or three more times.
TRANSMITTER WALL CLIP
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the clip provided. If the clip is installed on a solid wood
wall, drill 1/8" pilot holes and install with the screws provided. If it is installed on a plaster/wallboard
wall, first drill two 1/4" holes into the wall. Then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors
flush with the wall; then install the screws provided.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the 1001SR can be up to 12 months depending on use of the servo function. Check all batteries
annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote 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 combined output voltage of at least 4.5volts. The transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts
battery power.
NOTE: Extensive use of the SERVO MOTOR setting will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the 1001SR remote
system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of
the remote in the following manner:
• Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly.
• Check battery in TRANSMITTER to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.
• Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER are within 20'-25' operating range.
• Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 13 0° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 115° F.
• If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
NOTE:
A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperature inside the case exceeds 130° F, will cause the THERMO-
SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to "reset" the receiver's
operation.
• Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and/or heat conditions at the receiver,
some receivers may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication and operating
distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Follow the steps below for making the adjustment.
