Objective
Define basic construction, touch-screen LCD & button layout, and operational parameters for a wireless
transmitter to operate the COPRECI “ReMotion” ignition control module & optional auxiliary module.
Basic Construction
• Transmitter body should be the same construction as current production model ReMotion TX.
• Touch-Screen LCD and three push buttons will allow input from users.
• LCD screen will provide system status & input feedback to user.
• Backlight will illuminate LCD screen for 5 seconds after any user input – the 1st touch of the LCD
screen will only illuminate the backlight (will not respond to associated zone function).
• Powered via four AAA sized batteries (6V nominal) with LOW BATTERY INDICATOR (5.0V).

THERMOSTAT Mode:
• Will cycle flame on and off based on room and set temperatures. Will transmit ON
command if SET TEMP (+SWING) is higher than ROOM TEMP and will transmit OFF
command if SET TEMP (-SWING) is lower than ROOM TEMP.
• Built-in thermostat will measure room temperature.
• All programming should be written for deg. F and converted to deg. C when selected.
• Temperatures may be displayed in degrees F (factory default) or degrees C. Press the UP
and DOWN Buttons simultaneously to change between degrees F and C.

be accepted after 2 seconds. The factory default SET TEMP is 68 deg. F.
• SWING Temperature: This model does not allow for SWING temperature adjustment.
This model utilizes thermostatic flame modulation that will modulation the main flame
based on the difference between room temperature and set temperature (see example
below).
o Important - factory SWING TEMPERATURE setting is 2 degrees. The
thermostatic flame modulation feature will not allow this SWING to be changed.
EXAMPLE:
Set Temperature Room Temp. Flame Level
74F OFF
73F Level 1
