REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
B. REMOTE CONTROL INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Electrical wiring must be installed by a licensed electrician.
• Do NOT wire 110V to wall switch.
• Uninterrupted or continuous power is required at all times in IPI systems EXCEPT when using battery back-up.
• Incorrect wiring will override IPI safety lockout and may cause an explosion.
• Disconnect 110V before servicing
A double receptacle box cover and (3) wire nuts are supplied in fi replace components packet to be used when hardwiring to electrical box
located under fi rebox on right side of fi replace.
NOTE: THIS SYSTEM GOES THROUGH A CALIBRATION MODE WHEN SWITCHING FROM ‘ON’ TO ‘THERMO’ TO ‘OFF’ MODES,
CREATING A HUMMING SOUND WHICH IS A NORMAL PART OF OPERATION.
C. CONTINUOUS PILOT - FOR VERY COLD CONDITIONS
The IPI gas control system has the option of a continuous (standing) pilot feature. This allows you to change from a spark-to-pilot system to a standing
pilot system during cold weather conditions. By having the pilot on continuously, the fi rebox will remain warm and a draft is established in the vent,
allowing the main burner to turn on with less air-fl ow disruption.
When continuous pilot mode is activated, the pilot will spark and light. When fi replace is turned OFF, the pilot will remain lit when main burner has
been turned OFF.
This pilot feature can be activated or de-activated by the hand held remote control transmitter or the switch on the module. Instructions on following
page.
D. OPERATION USING BATTERY POWER
This fi replace has an optional battery operation if electrical power is lost. Position battery pack with four “AA” size batteries installed between valve and
front of fi replace. This is the coolest location under fi rebox, ensuring longer battery life.
NOTE: When operating fi replace in this capacity, the only function available is fl ame ON/OFF.
We recommend not installing the 4 batteries until needed during a power outage. This will ensure the batteries aren't neglected and will work when
needed.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
E. MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Before matching security codes make sure 120V AC is connected and powered to fi replace, and hand held remote control is installed with (2)
batteries.
It may be necessary to program main control module to LEARN the security code of the hand held remote control upon initial use, if batteries are
replaced, or if a replacement remote control is purchased from your dealer.
1. When matching security codes, be sure slide button on main
control module is in REMOTE; the code will not “LEARN” if slide
is in OFF.
2. Program main control module to LEARN a new security code by
pushing in LEARN button on main control module using a pencil
point for 2 seconds and let go (you should hear a series of ‘beeps’
letting you know module is ready to learn a new code).
3. Immediately press MODE button on hand held remote control
(you should hear four ‘beeps’ in rapid succession in main control
module, indicating remote
control’s code has been programmed into the main control
module). When an existing main control module is introduced
to a new hand held remote control, the new security code will
overwrite the old one.
If it ever becomes necessary to clear the memory from the hand held
remote control, simply push and hold the LEARN button for 10 seconds
(you should hear three long beeps in succession). You may now follow
steps outlined above to ‘RE-LEARN’ security codes.

F. INTITAL SET-UP
Plug Extension Module and AC Adaptor into receptacles.
The Hand Held Remote operates on (2) AAA batteries. We recommend always using ALKALINE batteries to extend battery life and improve
operational performance.
This system allows for gas type conversion and temperature unit conversion by following the setup procedure outlined below.
G. GAS TYPE CONVERSION
Press and hold Learn Button on Main Control Module for 20 seconds. A beep will be heard letting you know the procedure has been completed.
• If converting from NAT to LP gas: (1) one second long beep
• If converting from LP to Nat gas: (3) three second long beep
Continue with gas type conversion by following instructions included with gas conversion kit.
NOTE: This system is sent to you set up for Natural Gas and temperature units readable in Fahrenheit.

I. IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE
J. CONTINUOUS PILOT FEATURE
K. CHILDPROOF FEATURE
This system has a maximum room temperature limit of 95° F (35° C) in both manual and thermostat modes. When room temperature is at or above
this point the system will shut down and the hand held remote control will read OFF. If you turn the system ON when room temperature is still at or
above this temperature, the system will again shutdown after 2 minutes when room temperature is recalculated.
Activation of this optional feature is accomplished by pressing the
PILOT button once. The continuous pilot icon will appear on the LCD
screen. Pressing PILOT button again will de-activate this feature.
This feature can also be activated via CONTINUOUS PILOT switch on
Main Control Module.
Activation of this optional feature is accomplished by pushing SET &
UP buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The childproof icon will
appear on the screen. When a transmitter button is pressed the icon
will fl ash on screen, but no signal will be transmitted. Pressing and
holding these same two buttons again for more than 5 seconds will
de-activate this function.
This feature controls only manual functions of the hand held remote,
automatic functions (thermostat mode) will not be affected.

P. THERMO (THERMOSTATE) MODE
This remote feature allows you to thermostatically control the fi replace
when hand held remote is set to THERMO mode.
Set Temperature Range: 45˚F (7˚C) to 90˚F (32˚C).
Set remote to THERMO mode by pressing MODE button. The
smaller SET window of numbers appears on the LCD screen. The
fi rst SET number will read 45˚F. Press UP button to desired set room
temperature. Within 5 seconds fi replace will operate to that Set
Temperature. The FLAME, ON and THERMO icons will appear on the
LCD screen. By pressing UP or DOWN buttons a new set temperature
may be attained.
SET Temperature will only appear when THERMOSTAT MODE is
activated, but is implemented in all MODES with the exception of
MANUAL MODE.
To exit THERMO mode press the MODE button. This also shuts
fi replace OFF.
Q. SYSTEM OPERATION WITHOUT HANDHELD REMOTE
This system is designed to operate with the hand held remote or a
thermostat, but in the unlikely event that it is required to be operated
without the hand held remote or a thermostat, follow this simple
procedure.
Slide REMOTE /OFF switch on main control module to OFF. The
fi replace can now be lit and shut off by use of the ON/OFF rocker switch
located next to the module.
