Matching Remote Handset and Control Box ID Code
The Remote Control Handset has a set of unique ID codes that is pre-programmed into its
memory. This set of ID codes helps to differentiate one Remote Control Handset from
another so that only the control box with a matching ID code will respond to the
appropriate Remote Control Handset.
To ensure the remote control is matched to the receiver correctly, please follow the steps
below:
1. Install the 2 x AAA alkaline batteries into the Remote Control.
2. Unplug and re-plug the power cord. The power cord is located on the left hand side of
the appliance and will be plugged into the receptacle.
3. Press and hold the PROG and FAN buttons simultaneously for up to 20 seconds.
During this time, the remote will display LC while it is transmitting codes to the
receiver.
4. Once it is successfully transmitted, wait for 20 seconds and press the ON/OFF button
on the remote control once and the burners will come on.
If is does not work the first time, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. The remote control is now programmed to the receiver and the appliance can now be
operated with it.
The control box will only learn the Remote ID codes during the first 30 seconds after
power is applied and will ignore this special command from the Remote after the first 30
seconds.
NOTE: This must only be performed by a qualified installer.

BASIC FUNCTIONS
OF THE REMOTE CONTROL
For the remote to function it must be turned ON. However when the remote is OFF, the
LCD continues to display the current day, time and room temperature.

If the Remote is switched OFF, pressing and releasing the On/Off button will switch ON
the Remote. When the unit is turned on, the flame height is set to Hi for 20 seconds by

Press the “TIME” button once more to record the setting.

Displaying Temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit
The default setting of the Remote is to display the temperature in Celsius.
However, the Remote can be changed to display temperature in Fahrenheit by the
following steps:
1. Ensure the Remote is switched off by using the On/Off button.
2. Press and hold the “-” button.
3. While the “-” button is held down, press and release the “+”
b
utton, this will
toggle the temperature display between °C and °F.
This setting is stored in memory hence the Remote will continue to display the
temperature in Fahrenheit even if the battery is replaced.
Flame Height Adjustment
There are seven levels of flame settings that can be selected manually using the “+” and
“-” button.
Pressing and releasing the “+” button once will increase the flame to a higher setting.
Continuously holding down the “+” button will increase the flame gradually until it has
reached the highest setting.
Conversely pressing and releasing the “-” button once will decrease the flame to a lower
setting.
Examples of the display on the LCD are as follows:
Flame Setting = 1 Flame Setting = 3 Flame Setting = 7

Page 9 FPI FireWizardTM Remote Control Manual - IPI
When the unit is turned on, the flame height is set to Hi for 20 seconds by default. After
20 seconds, the flame will revert to the setting prior to being turned off.
When the flame setting is at the lowest level (1), the flame indicator will blink on the
handset, the rear burner will turn off, and the front burner will default to the highest
setting. If the “+” button is pressed, the rear burner will turn on and the flame can
continue to be increased.
OPERATION DURING POWER OUTAGE
In the event of a power failure, the unit will be fully functional for the first 45 minutes
using the backup-battery system.
If power resumes within the first 45 minutes you can continue using the unit as normal.
If power is restored after 45 minutes you will need to reset the unit as follows;
a) Remove the left side exterior brick panel.
b) Hold the reset button for 3 to 5 seconds or until the LED stops blinking.
c) Press and release the ON/OFF button once on the Remote Control.
