THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This ECS remote control has a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is tem-
perature- activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures
exceed 130°F degrees inside the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the
receiver’s microprocessors.
For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge
when temperatures exceed 115°F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 115°F,
can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heat-
ing and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130°F, the THERMISTOR will auto-
matically shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the
ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120°F and 130°F, the user can reactivate the appliance by pushing
the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When the MODE button is pressed to
ON, the THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the replace will begin operating again. However, the “beeping” will continue, if
the ambient temperature remains between 120°F and 130°F. This “beeping” alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be
repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120°F.
When the temperature drops below 120°F, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR by
pushing the MODE button to ON to operate the appliance, either manually or thermally. Allow sufcient time for the receiver
to cool below 120°F, and then press MODE button to stop beeping.
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 1,048,576 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 RE-
MOTE 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 unsuc-
cessful in matching the security code on the rst attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again--this delay allows the micro-
processor 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, rst drill two 1/4” holes into the wall. Then use
a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors ush with the wall; then install the
screws provided.
