Testing the receiver s motor operation Moving the switch on the receiver to its ON position will cause the motor to run for ten seconds. If the motor is installed in the stove it will drive the stove to its maximum firing position. Moving the switch on the receiver to its OFF position will cause the motor to run for ten seconds. If the motor is installed in the stove it will drive the stove to its minimum firing position. Receiver indicator light Moving the switch on the receiver to its RS position will set the receiver to respond to radio signals from the handset. The red indicator will flash slowly and continuously when the batteries are almost exhausted. The red indicator will flicker when receiving a signal from the handset. WARNING Low battery power in the transmitter or receiver can affect the operation of the remote control in any mode. In some cases the motor may run continuously with low battery conditions. Replace batteries to stop this occurring. EUROHEAT DISTRIBUTORS (H.B.S) LTD. January 2011 7
Dip switch settings For Multifuel only. Identify the Dip switch number two on both the handset and the receiver, and using a fine point, such as a ball point pen, but not a pencil, move the switches away from the number 2 identification and towards the on position. In this position the unit will operate the motor for periods of approximately 2.5 seconds to raise or lower the stove s firing rate gradually to ensure clean and efficient combustion For Gas only. Identify the Dip switch number two on both the handset and the receiver, and using a fine point, such as a ball point pen, but not a pencil, move the switches towards the number 2 identification and away from the on position. The unit will now operate by giving a 10 second pulse to turn the valve from its pilot position to its main flame position when the ambient temperature is below that set on the handset, or return the valve to its pilot position when the ambient temperature is above that set on the handset. IMPORTANT The unit must never be operated with a gas stove unless the dip switch number 2 set to the off position EUROHEAT DISTRIBUTORS (H.B.S) LTD. January 2011 8
Setting the display to show temperature in fahrenheit or centigrade The handset will automatically show temperature in fahrenheit unless the handset is re-programmed to change the display to read centigrade. To change the display to read temperature in degrees centigrade remove the back battery access panel and identify the reset switch which is to the left of the dip switches. By carefully inserting, briefly, a fine point, for which the end of an unravelled paper clip is ideal, the display will show every symbol in its memory for two seconds and then change to show just the F symbol. + Pressing the button will change this to a C symbol. The handset is now programmed to display temperature in degrees centigrade and after a few seconds the display will show its normal temperature and function display.
