Low Battery Power Detection - Transmitter
The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various
factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of
the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set
point, etc.
When the transmitter batteries are low, an Icon will appear on
the LCD display of the transmitter See Figure 28 before all
battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon
will disappear.
OFF
Figure 28

38101-1-0318 Page 9
When the IFC board goes into lockout:
1. both the Pilot and the Main Burner solenoids in the gas valve
are de-energized;
2. a diagnostic code is sent through the diagnostic red LED.
3. the IFC board will ignore any burner ignition command and
remain in the OFF state unless the unlock command se-
quence is met.
The causes of lockout must be investigated under safe
conditions by the user and/or the service personnel.
To reset the IFC from a lockout state, perform the following
procedure:
• Turn off the system power supplies (to the wall control or
remote control) for two or three seconds and then restore
power.
• Attempt to operate the insert. If the system returns to a
lockout state, contact your dealer for a service call.
Battery Backup Operation
Install batteries (See initialization sequence on page 4 or 11).
In case of power loss, the replace will switch to battery mode
automatically. The replace will operate normally without the fan
or light control when in battery mode.
Low Battery Detection
When the backup batteries are low, a double-beep will be emitted
when the module receives an on/off command. No commands
will be accepted until the batteries are replaced or the A/C power
is restored.
Lockout State Denition
A lockout state is reached when an ignition error occurs. This
could mean both an irregular ame detection and/or too many
unsuccessful ignition attempts. This state is a safe condition for
the appliance and is entered automatically by the IFC board.
The lockout state will remain set in memory as long as the power
supplies are applied.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
1. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be
performed (if applicable).
2. Turn gas shut-off valve to “OFF” position.
TO TURN OFF GAS TO FIREPLACE
A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which
automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot
by hand, use the remote control. Before lighting the pilot,
ensure that the master switch is on. When lighting the pilot,
follow these instructions exactly.
B. Before lighting smell all around the appliance area for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the oor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
What To Do If You Smell Gas
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch;
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re
department.
C. Use only the remote control or manual remote receiver
switch to operate the gas valve. Never use tools. If valve
does not operate, don’t try to repair it, call a qualied service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a re or
explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
