IF YOU SMELL GAS:
* Do not light any appliance
* Extinguish any open flame
* Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything
* Open windows and vacate building
* Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire department
This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of those people
considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected and cleaned before use and at
least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods
or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty and safety
listing.
This heater is either approved for natural gas (NG) or for propane (LP). Burning
the incorrect fuel will void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an
extreme safety hazard. Direct questions about the type of fuel used to your dealer.
Check for a label on the flame adjust knob on the gas control valve (this is the best
place to check). You may also check for a label on the gas control valve body.
Contact your local building
officials to obtain a permit and
information on any installation
restrictions or inspection
requirements in your area.
Notify your insurance company
of this heater as well.
If the flame becomes sooty, dark
orange in color, or extremely tall,
do not operate the heater. Call
your dealer and arrange for
proper servicing.
It is imperative that control
compartments, screens, or
circulating air passageways of
the heater be kept clean and
free of obstructions. These
areas provide the air necessary
for safe operation.
Do not operate the heater if it is
not operating properly in any
fashion or if you are uncertain.
Call your dealer for a full
explanation of your heater and
what to expect.
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable liquids in the
vicinity of this heater.
Do not operate if any portion of
the heater was submerged in
water or if any corrosion occurs.
Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part
of the control system and any
gas control that has been under
water.

Safety Precautions 5
© Travis Industries 10/24/19 - 1523 PB 42, 54 & 72 Linear GSR2 Operation
Do not place clothing or other
flammable items on or near the
heater. Because this heater can
be controlled by a thermostat
there is a possibility of the
heater turning on and igniting
any items placed on or near it.
Light the heater using the built-in
igniter. Do not use matches or
any other external device to light
your heater.
Allow the heater to cool before
carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning.
The viewing glass should be
opened only for conducting
service. Do not operate with
cracked, broken, or removed
glass.
Any safety screen or guard
removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the
heater.
Never remove, replace, modify or
substitute any part of the heater
unless instructions are given in
this manual. All other work must
be done by a trained technician.
Don't modify or replace orifices.
Operate the heater according to
the instructions included in this
manual.
If the main burners do not start
correctly turn the gas off at the
gas control valve and call your
dealer for service.
Instruct everyone in the house
how to shut gas off to the
appliance and at the gas main
shutoff valve. The gas main
shutoff valve is usually next to
the gas meter or propane tank
and requires a wrench to shut off.

6 Operation
© Travis Industries 10/24/19 - 1523 PB 42, 54 & 72 Linear GSR2 Operation
Before You Begin
Read this entire manual before you use your new heater (especially the section "Safety Precautions"
on pages 4 & 5). Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or
even death.
Remote Control Warnings
KEEP BATTERIES AND COVER INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES
The remote control system requires the batteries and battery cover to
remain in place at all times. Once the batteries or cover are removed, the
system may re-start in standing pilot mode. If this occurs when the heater is
in Remote Mode, you will not be able to turn the heater off manually from
the battery box.
If you need to replace dead batteries, make sure to turn the appliance
off before removing the batteries.
NOTE:If the batteries go dead, the system will operate normally as long
as household power (120v AC) is present.
The transmitter and IFC are radio frequency devices. Placing the transmitter in or near metal may
severely reduce the signal range.
Turn off the main gas supply to the appliance during installation or maintenance. In case of remote
control malfunction turn off the main gas supply to the appliance.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
The SIT GSR2 remote may be programmed to disable the thermostat or any of the modes (flame height, blower, light,
comfort control, Standing Pilot *, or auxiliary power input). This allows you to tailor the remote to the appliance.
* We do not recommend disabling the standing pilot option for our gas appliances. This feature may be recommended
for cold regions or installations with sub-optimal venting.
How to Disable/Enable the Thermostat
The remote is shipped with the thermostat enabled.
1 Remove one battery from the remote.
2 Press and hold the thermostat button while
replacing the battery. This will toggle the
thermostat function. Repeat this process to toggle
the thermostat function to the desired setting.
How to Disable/Enable Modes (Light, Blower, etc.)
The remote is shipped with all modes enabled (except AUXiliary).
1 Remove one battery from the remote.
2 Press and hold the on/off button and mode button while replacing the battery.
Keep the on/off button depressed during the following steps.
3 While keeping the on/off button depressed, press
and release the mode button until the mode that
needs to be changed is illuminated.

Remote Set-Up
Verify the Switch is on “REMOTE”
The battery holder has a switch built into it (see Figure 1). This switch must remain in the REMOTE
position for the remote to operate.
Figure 1
Synchronize the Transmitter to the IFC
The transmitter will need to be synchronized to the IFC (Integrated Fireplace Control) before the remote
will work correctly. Synchronizing is done in the following two steps below (see Figure 2):
Press the PRG (Program) button on the battery box (IFC will beep 3 times).
Press the “ON” button on the transmitter (IFC will beep 3 times).
Figure 2
NOTE: If power is cut off to the IFC for an extended period of time, you may need to re-synchronize the
remote.
Clearing the System Memory
This appliance uses an Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC) to store the unique code for the
remote control. If you wish to clear the system memory, MAKE SURE GAS IS TURNED OFF
TO THE APPLIANCE then press the PRG (Program) button for 10 seconds. The pilot will start
to spark repeatedly, signifying all system memory has been cleared. The system will return to its
original configuration: a remote will need to be synchronized; and, the system will operate under
continuous pilot mode.

8 Operation
© Travis Industries 10/24/19 - 1523 PB 42, 54 & 72 Linear GSR2 Operation
Starting the Fireplace for the First Time
Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will
cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This
is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.
Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will
turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.
Certain installations use a remote, thermostat, or wall switch to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is
the case, leave the ON/OFF switch "ON".
Verify the power backup and control light batteries are installed.
Location of Controls
Direct Operation
We recommend using the remote to operate the fireplace. If you do need to operate the fireplace directly,
remove the screen frame assembly (see page 18). The on/remote/off switch on the battery box may then be
accessed. NOTE make sure the heat shield above the battery box is in place before replacing the screen
frame assembly.
ON – Burner turns on (regardless of transmitter settings).
OFF – Burner turns off (regardless of transmitter settings).
REMOTE – Burner is controlled by the transmitter.
NOTE: When the battery holder switch is turned to ON or OFF, the mode settings (Flame Height, Comfort
Control) will remain in the same state as before the switch was moved (i.e.: the IFC “remembers”
the last setting). If you wish to adjust the mode settings use the transmitter mode button to adjust
the settings (see “Mode Controls” on page 13). The thermostat and burner on/off operating
functions will not work on the transmitter.
Most features will be
controlled by the
included remote.

Intermittent/Continuous Pilot
This heater may run with the pilot continuously running or in intermittent mode. For most homeowners,
the intermittent mode is preferred (this saves fuel, doesn’t give off un-needed heat). However, in some
situations the homeowner may prefer to switch the heater to continuous pilot. The most typical reasons
for switching to continuous pilot are:
Very Cold Conditions – in very cold conditions you may notice that the burner does not light quickly,
and the flames lift off the burner. If this is situation, we recommend you switch to continuous pilot.
This will create a slight draft in the vent, allowing for the burner to light quickly and draft correctly.
Excessive Condensation on Glass After Startup – certain installations may encounter excessive
fogging on the window after startup (not just the first time the heater was started). This is an aesthetic
condition that may be remedied by switching the heater to continuous pilot.
Cold Glass or Heater Front – in very cold conditions you may notice that the heater front and glass
become very cold. To remedy this, switch the heater to continuous pilot.
Frequent On / Off Operation – if you are frequently turning the heater on and off, you may wish to
leave it in continuous pilot. This allows the burner to turn on more quickly, without pilot ignition delay.
Switching from Intermittent (IPI) to Continuous Pilot (CPI)
The pilot mode on this appliance is adjusted using the remote. With the remote in the off position
(thermostat off, manual off), follow the directions below to adjust the pilot mode.
Figure 3
Press the "MODE" button
when the appliance is off to
adjust the IPI/CPI.

Pilot Fuel Conservation Timer
7 Day Pilot Shutoff Timer (applies to units in CPI mode only)
This appliance may be equipped with a 7 day pilot shutoff timer. This
timer helps conserve fuel and save money by turning the pilot off when
the appliance is not used for 7 days (this timer is mandated in certain
areas for conservation purposes). This applies only when the unit is in
CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) mode. If the unit is in IPI (Intermittent
Pilot Ignition) mode, the timer does not apply.
When in CPI mode the pilot will remain lit as long as the burner is
engaged within a 7 day window. Each time the burner is turned on the 7 day timer resets. If the burner is
not engaged within the 7 day window, the pilot will automatically revert to IPI mode and turn off to
conserve fuel.
To switch back to CPI, simply:
GSB2 Units: toggle the IPI/CPI switch to IPI, then back to CPI.
GSR2 Units: use the remote to toggle from IPI mode, then back to CPI mode.
To prevent the need to reset the pilot mode during the heating season, we have listed a few strategies
below:
Option 1: Remember to periodically turn on the heater during the heating season
If you use your heater for supplemental heat, this may be the best solution. Set a specific time, once or
twice per week (e.g. 5pm on Tuesday & Friday) to turn the heater on for a few minutes. This will reset the
timer and prevent the need to restart the pilot.
Option 2: Use a thermostat
GSR Units: Use the thermostat included with the appliance
GSB Units: Consult your dealer for thermostats compatible with your appliance.
The use of a thermostat will keep the room at a constant temperature and will, in most cases, keep the
heater working throughout the heating season. Light the pilot at the beginning of the heating season and
set the thermostat to the desired room temperature. As long as the outside temperature does not rise
excessively, for seven days or more, the pilot will continue to operate.
Option 3: Use a programmable thermostat (GSB2 Only)
A programmable thermostat may be set to turn on, once per week, to a high temperature for a short time.
This will reset the 7-day timer and allow the heater to operate without having to restart the pilot.
