Make the SET temperature on the transmitter to a temperature of a least 2°F (1°C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen, the system flame and main gas fire flame will be ON. Then make the SET temperature to at least 2°F (1°C) below the ROOM temperature, the system flame and main gas fire flame will extinguish in seconds. It should continue to cycle ON and OFF thermostatically. The temperature differential between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 2°F (1°C) to start the THERMO*2 cycling. (The 2°F differential is the factory setting, can NOT be changed.) ADDITIONALINFORMATION THERMOSAFETYPROTECTION FORRECEIVER In order to protect the receiver box, batteries, and receiver’s microprocessors, the Durablow remote control system equips a THERMISTOR, a safety feature in receiver box. The THERMISTOR will automatically shut the system and appliance down,& begin makingBEEP X 3 (♫, ♫, ♫), every 4 seconds, when the temperature inside the receiver boxis higher than 130°F (54°C). User can re-activate the system by pressing the MODE button on the transmitter when the receiver temperature drops between 120°F (48°C) and 130°F (54°C). However, the BEEPING will NOT stop if the temperature remains between 120°F and 130°F until the temperature drops below 120°F. The beeping is to alert user that the receiver should be re-located at a cooler position. To completely reset the beeping and THERMISTOR, please press the MODE button to make a mode cycle (OFF-ON-OFF). Please make sure & allow some time for the receiver box to cool down below 120°F . TRANSMITTER 1. TRANSMITTEROPERATINGDISTANCE Thetransmitter uses RF radio frequency to send signal to receiver. Itis strongly recommendedtouse thetransmitter within20-foot distance from receiver box in the same room / space (no wall partition). 2. THERMO*2DETECTING INTERVAL IN TRANSMITTER The transmitter normally detects the ROOMtemperature every 2 minutes against theSETtemperature by sending a signal tothe receiver. 3. OUT-OF-RANGE SAFETY ALERT IN TRANSMITTER Page8
10This Durablow remote control system have a OUT-OF-RANGE SAFETY ALERT function whichalerts when the transmitter is out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver for all operation modes. The transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen minutes to the receiver box to indicate that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20-foot. If the receiver does NOT receive a signal every 15 minutes from transmitter, the receiver will begin a 120-minute countdown. If during this period, the receiver does NOT receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the system (OFF). Then thereceiver will beeps rapidly for 10 seconds, and after that, the receiver will continue to beep (single beep) every4 seconds until a transmitter signal is again received.Press the MODE button on the transmitter to reset the receiverand the system will be back to normal operation. The OUT-OF-RANGE SAFETY ALERT will betriggered when the transmitter is out of rangeagain or the transmitter’s low battery, batteries fail,batteries removed. SETTING THE DESIRED ROOM TEMPERATURE To set the DESIRED room temperature, press the MODE button to place transmitter into THERMO*2 mode (Fig. 6), the “THERMO”*2 must be displayed on the LCD screen. Then press the “＋” and “－” buttons to increase or decrease desired room temperature. The MAX. set temperature is 99° F (32° C), MIN. is 45° F (6° C).REMINDING: Toextend battery lifespan, the changes of ROOM temperature are detected and updated (send) to transmitter automaticallyevery two minutes only. TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL (variation “SWING”) The THERMO*2mode on the transmitter operates with TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL (also called variation “SWING”). A smaller SWING increases the number of cycles so the room temperature is updated more often which consume more battery power. A larger SWING decreases the number of cycles, so the tolerance of ROOM temperature is larger, but can save some battery. The factory default setting for the SWING is 2 which means a temperature variation of +/- 2°F (1°C) between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which determines when the system will be ON or OFF. There are threeSWING numbers for user’s choice: +/- 1°F (0.5°C), +/- 2°F (1°C) , and +/- 3°F (1.6°C). See Fig. 17 Fig. 17 Fig. 18 Page9
11SETTING THE SWING 1. To change the temperature SWING setting, press theTIMER and “－” buttons(Fig. 18) at the same timeto display the current SWING setting (Fig. 17). The letter “S” (looks like Arabic number “5”) means you are currently in the SWING setting, 2. Press the “＋”and “－” buttons to change the SWING(1, 2 , 3). 3. To store the desired SWING number, press the OK button or wait for 15 seconds without any actions, then transmitter will accept the setting and become programmed. SETTING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER*1 The TIMER*1 is available in the ON or THERMO*2modes on transmitter (THERMO or ON must be displayed on the screen). 1. Press the TIMER button (Fig. 18) on the transmitter.The word TIMER*1 will be displayed and “0:15” minutes (factory default setting) will be blinking on the screen (Fig. 19). 2. Press the “＋”and “－” buttons on the transmitter to set the countdown time. Available countdown time options are 15 minutes, 30 minutes,1 hour (1:00), 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30 ............. 8:30, 9:00. 3. To confirm the TIMER*1, press the OK button or wait for 15 seconds without any actions, then transmitter will accept the setting and become programmed. If the system is cycling in the THERMO*2 mode + TIMER*1 feature, it will cycle on and off, as the room temperature requires until the “time” has expired. Fig. 19 Fig. 20 CHILDPROOF FEATURE& SETTING Asafety LOCK feature is available from the TRANSMITTER. 1. To activate the LOCK, press and hold the “＋” and TIMERbuttons together for 5-7 seconds. The“CP” will appear in the ROOM temperature on the screen (Fig. 20). CP word will disappear in one second but the CP lock is activated. 2. To deactivate the LOCK, press and hold the “＋” and TIMERbuttons together for 5-7 seconds. The“CP” will disappear and the transmitter will be unlocked and back to normal operating condition. NOTE: The CHILDPROOF FEATURE (CP-LOCK) will NOT cancel the operating and cycling of ON, TIMER*1, THERMO*2. In order to “TOTAL” lock-out the system, please activate CP-LOCK in OFF mode on transmitter.

12TROUBLE SHOOTING Problems with different fireplace systems are NOT just caused by Durablow remote control, but also by fireplace itself. Please firstly review and check fireplace manufacturer’s manual to see if all wires are properly connected, valve is working fine, or gas tank / pipes are in good condition. Then please check the operations below: 1. Check to see if receiver batteries are installed properly. If one battery is installed backward, the entire system will NOT working. Be sure battery output is 2.5 volts or more for transmitter, and 5.2 volts or more for receiver box. 2. Make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver. Check to see if receiver beepsin ON & OFF modes. The receiver only beeps in ON & OFF modes. If no beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitterin ON & OFF modes, please LEARN and match transmitter with receiver first (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER). 4. Make sure the transmitter is in good condition (doused or broken transmitter will be out of order) and within the 15 to 20-foot range of the receiver. 5. Positioning the receiver box is quite important. If the receiver is fully coveredby a metal, the operation of thereceiver may be failed because of losing communicating with transmitter or shortening the use distance range. Re-position the receiver to gain better signals.
