Remote Control Operation (cont.)
GENERAL INFORMATION
Built into the remote control’s software is a COMMUNICATION/SAFETY function. It provides an extra
margin of safety when the remote/transmitter is out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION/SAFETY feature operates the same in all operating modes.
Every remote/transmitter has 16777216 unique security code. Upon first use, you must press the “LEARN”
button on the receiver to verify the remote/transmitter security code. This process must be repeated if you
replace the batteries or purchase a replacement remote/transmitter. To allow the remote/transmitter to
accept the security code, the slide button on the receiver must be in the REMOTE position. If the slide switch
is in the ON or OFF position, the receiver will not accept the security code. The “LEARN” button is located on
the front face of the receiver, inside the small hole labeled “LEARN.” Press and release the black “LEARN”
button inside the hole—a paper clip or small screwdriver works best, and press any button on the remote/
transmitter. When the “LEARN” button is released, the receiver emits a beeping pattern.
The security code matching procedure uses a timing function. If the security code is not matched on the first
attempt, wait 1–2 minutes and try again, which allows the timer to reset. Follow this procedure 2–3 times if
necessary.
Learning the Remote/Transmitter to the Receiver:
In all operating modes and at all times, the remote/transmitter sends an RF signal every 15 minutes to the
receiver. This indicates that the remote/transmitter is within the 20-foot normal operating range. If the
receiver doesn’t receive a signal from the remote/transmitter every 15 minutes, the software in the receiver
will begin a 2-hour countdown timing procedure. If the receiver does not receive a signal from the remote/
transmitter in this time, the receiver shuts off the heater. The receiver then emits a series of beeps for 10
seconds. After these 10 seconds, the receiver continues to emit a single beep every four (4) seconds until
either the ON or MODE button on the remote/transmitter is pressed, which resets the receiver. The 4-
second beeping goes on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last.
To reset the receiver and operate the heater, press the “ON” or “MODE” button on the remote/transmitter.
When the system is turned on, the COMMUNICATION/SAFETY beeping stops and the system returns to
normal operation based on the MODE selected on the remote/transmitter. The COMMUNICATION/SAFETY
feature restarts if the remote/transmitter is taken out of the normal operating range or the remote/
transmitter’s batteries fail or are removed.
Childproof Feature:
The remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature, letting the user “lock-out” operation of the
heater from the remote/transmitter.
To use the “LOCK-OUT” feature, do the following:
•
To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the “ON” button and the “MODE” button at the same
time for five (5) seconds. The letters “CP” display in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
•
To deactivate the “LOCK-OUT,” press and hold the “ON” button and the “MODE” button at the same
time for five (5) seconds and the letters “CP” disappear from the LCD screen. The remote/transmitter
then returns to normal operation.
•
To verify remote/transmitter is in the CP lock-out mode, press any key and the LCD screen shows “CP.”
NOTE: If the heater is already operating in the ON or THERMO MODES, activating the “LOCK-OUT” will not
cancel the operating MODE. Activating the “LOCK-OUT” only prevents the remote/transmitter from being
operated. The THERMO operation will continue to operate normally if it is in the auto modes. The remote/
transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF to completely “LOCK-OUT” the remote/transmitter’s operating signals.
