Napoleon F-40 User manual

The F-40 and the F-50 transmitter units have been approved for
use with most Wolf Steel gas fireplaces using a millivolt system.
The Receiver (W660-0076) can be installed in either the fireplace
or be wall mounted depending on the application.
The F-40 provides on/off status, and the current room temperature
as well as having a low battery indicator. It allows you to switch the
fireplace on or off from anywhere in the room.
The F-50 is a thermostatically controlled transmitter that provides
on/off status, displays room/set temperature as well as having a
low battery indicator. These transmitter kits are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with these instructions.
Modification of any part of this kit will void any warranty claims
and could create a fire hazard.
RECEIVER INSTALLATION:
Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the fireplace.
(Gas supply may need to be disconnected from the gas control
valve.) Make sure the slide switch on the receiver is set to the OFF
position.
1. Either disconnect or connect in parallel* with any other
transmitter wiring from the valve. Attach the wires from terminal 1
(TPTH) and terminal 3 (TH) of the gas valve to the output terminals
on the receiver.
*INSTALLER: It may be advisable to connect a switch with
short lengths of wire to minimize the resistance. This will allow
the homeowner to continue to control the burner in the event
of battery failure.
For all millivolt switch wiring, hook up the switch leads on
terminals 1 and 3 of the gas valve.
WALL MOUNT:
2. Press the battery compartment slightly into the receiver and
release enabling the battery compartment to pop out. Pull off the
slide switch. Slide the receiver out of the fireplace mounting plate.
3. Using the screws provided secure the receiver and the face
plate to an existing junction box.
4. Replace the slide switch. Place 4 AA batteries into the battery
compartment and slide the compartment back
into the receiver.
5. If the gas supply was disconnected at
the valve, leak test using a soap and water
solution. Turn electricity back on.
FIREPLACE MOUNT:
For stove and insert models: do not install the receiver in the
gas control valve compartment as this area becomes too hot. On
stoves, it may be installed in or behind the pedestal; on inserts,
it may be installed behind the flashings or a similar convenient
location.
In a zero clearance model: the receiver may be installed in the
gas control compartment.
2. Ensuring that the mounting location will allow for the battery
compartment to slide out, secure the receiver to an appropriate
location depending on the fireplace model using the screws
provided and/or the adhesive pad.
3. If the gas supply was disconnected at the valve, leak test using
a soap and water solution. Turn electricity back on.

TRANSMITTER WALL MOUNT:
Secure to the desired wall location using
screws, and anchors if required.
RECEIVER OPERATION:
The receiver switch must be in the TRANSMITTER position for the
transmitter to function.
F-50 THERMOSTATIC FUNCTION:
Thermostatic control automatically cycles the fireplace on and off to
maintain the desired room temperature.
To turn the fireplace burner on, press the (ON/OFF) button.
The LCD will display the word “ON” and the flame indicator will be
shaded in.
The (ON/OFF) button is used to turn the fireplace on or off
only. It does not set temperature.
The (THERMOSTAT) button is used to control room
temperature. Once pushed, “ON” lights up next to the thermostat
bulb located in the top left corner of the LCD screen.
Set desired room temperature using the (UP) and
(DOWN) buttons. If the temperature of the room exceeds the
desired room temperature, the thermostat will automatically turn
the fireplace “OFF”.
CAUTION: In the event that the transmitter fails to send a
signal to the receiver for a period of twenty-four hours, the
receiver will automatically turn OFF the fireplace. This may
occur if the set temperature is not reached, if the transmitter is
out of range (25 feet), or if the transmitter batteries fail.
The twenty-four hour safety timer allows the receiver to
assumecontrolofthefireplaceaftertwohoursofuninterrupted
operation. After two hours of continuous operation by the
fireplace the receiver will cycle OFF for 30 minutes and ON for
20 minutes for the next four hours.
If a signal has not been received after twenty-four hours the
receiver will shut OFF the fireplace. Press the AUTO ON/OFF
button on the transmitter to reset the transmitter, then press
the AUTO ON/OFF button again to resume operation.
The six hour safety timer may be disengaged by moving the
toggle switch on the back of the receiver. Factory setting
is ON. Changing the switch will allow the fireplace to run
continuously if required.
WARNING: In the event of prolonged absences, the F-50
should not be left in thermostat mode. If the transmitter
batteries fail while the fireplace is operating the receiver will
assume control and shut OFF the fireplace after twenty-four
hours. If the transmitter batteries fail while the fireplace is not
operating the fireplace will remain OFF.
TEMPERATURE FUNCTION:
Remove the battery cover on the back
of the transmitter to expose the °C/°F
dip switch. Move the dip switch to your
desired temperature mode.
Selected mode will appear in the right
corner beside the room temperature.
CHILD-PROOF FUNCTION:
1. Remove the battery cover at the
back of the transmitter to expose the
child-proof dip switch.
2. Slide the child-proof dip switch
to position marked C/P to activate the
child-proof function. A lock symbol will
appear in the bottom left corner when
the child-proof function is activated.
3. Inchild-proofmodethetransmitterwillnotoperatetheReceiver

BATTERIES:
The transmitter uses 2 AAA batteries. The receiver uses 4 AA
batteries. Batteries should be replaced at least every 6 months or
when the low battery indicator is lit on the receiver or the transmitter
LCD. Use alkaline batteries only.
TO CHANGE BATTERIES:
Receiver: Slide the switch to OFF. Press the battery compartment
slightly into the receiver and release enabling the battery
compartment to pop out. After removing the original batteries, wait
at least 1 minute before replacing with fresh batteries.
