3.1.13 ID code.
There are 4 bit Dip switch for remote and receiver, the remote ID set must match receiver, If not, the
remote will be can’t control the receiver.
3.1.14 Reset button: The Reset button in left of ID DIP switch, press the Reset button to reset the
remote and initialization, re-select the ℉ or ℃ again.
3.1.15 High temperature shut down: if the transmitter measures a room temperature exceeding 99 ℉
or 37℃, the LCD will display “HI” and the transmitter will turn off the fireplace. The transmitter
will function on OFF key only until the room temperature has droped below 99 ℉ or 37℃. (for
safety issue)
If the transmitter measures a room temperature less than 40℉ or 4℃, the LCD will display “Lo” .
The all keys can operate and can be sent the commands to operate the fireplace.
3.1.16 Backlight: The backlight colour will change according to the current temperature range. If the
room temperature over the 26℃(78℉), then the backlight will be Red. If room temperature less than
16℃(61℉), the backlight will be Green. Backlight will be Blue if the room temperature is between
16-26℃. When any key is pressed the backlight will turn on for 8 seconds and then turn off.
3.1.17 Sensor Error: If the temperature sensor circuit is opened, display “E0”. If the temperature
sensor circuit is shorted, display “E1”. Both cases would lock up all keys and shut down all
operating processes until reset its power again. Whenever a sensor error is detected, transmitter must
turn off the flame. (for safety issue)

3.2. Receiver functional specification:
3.2.1. ID setting: The receiver ID must match with transmitter ID. The 4 position DIP switch will
applied for receiver board.
3.2.2 Slide Switch: The slide switch should be used to perform the manual control or specific
functions as defined for each individual receiver.
The fireplace operation should start at remote position. When slide switch starts from ON or OFF
position after new battery installed or reset, no operation should perform and system should be in
shutdown states. When fireplace starts at remote position, the fireplace will be in flame off state.
The fireplace starts the fire control if it receives the flame on command from transmitter.
When slide switch moves from RS to ON position, the fireplace should be turned on at its highest
flame height. Six hour shutdown operation should not be performed.
When slide switch moves from ON to RS position, the fireplace should resume the previous state
operated at RS position.
When slide switch moves from RS to OFF position, the fireplace should be shut off. Six hour
shutdown operation should not be performed.
When slide switch moves from OFF to RS position, the fireplace should resume the previous state
operated at RS position.

3.2.6 Battery: AA * 4 Alkaline battery for receiver power supply. The four AA battery lifetime
should be enough to perform at least four operations ON and OFF in a day for minimum 240 days.
The low battery monitoring circuit should indicate the low battery condition at 3.9V. The fireplace
should shut down completely and receiver should not accept any command form transmitter once
battery drops below 3.9V for four AA batteries, LED will flash every 60 second until battery totally
drains out.
3.2.7 LED indication: The receiver should provide the indication when it receives and decodes the
commands from transmitter correctly. The on-board LED should be implemented to perform this
function.
3.2.8 Six Hour Shutdown: The receiver should be shut down completely six hours later if it does
not receive valid command from transmitter. No shutdown is required when slide switch is at ON or
OFF position.
3.2.9 A 5Pin programmer port should be used for online programming.
