The auxiliary on/o button is used to turn the fireplace on without the Remote Control, and also used
for “teaching” the fireplace to listen for new remote controls. For information on teaching a new
remote control, see section S4 of the service manual at the end of this document.
To access the auxiliary on/o button, remove the bottom trim bracket by lifting the bracket upwards
(as shown in the diagram below).
The AUX button location can be seen in the diagram below.
E11 Home Automation Setup
Escea D-Series fireplaces have a simple interface for connection to a home automation system. Simply
put this allows the fireplace to be woken up and started and then shut down. The “Close to wake” con-
nection shown is essentially taking one of the 3.3 volt DC pins on the fireplace micro controller and
pulling it down to ground. In order to isolate the fireplace from the automaton system a relay needs
to be used as shown. This allows you to use any nominal voltage to drive the relay while keeping the
fireplaces 3.3V supply isolated.
