OWNER’S
INFORMATION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Pacific Energy Gas Fireplace.
Your fireplace has been professionally installed by:
Dealer name: ___________________
Phone Number: _________________
If you discover any problems with your gas fireplace contact your dealer immediately to have the
unit repaired.
Caution: Do not attempt to repair the fireplace because you may cause injury to yourself or other,
and risk causing damage to the unit.
Before operating your fireplace carefully read this manual and pay close attention to all Safety
Warnings. The manual contains important information on the unit’s safe operation and
maintenance.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a couple of hours. This is due to
the curing of paints, sealants, gaskets, and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. This
condition is temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate the area. Odour caused by the curing
process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated from steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction
noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat
exchanger or cook stove oven.

Remote Control Operation
System Description
The Proflame Remote Control System consists of two elements:
1. Proflame Transmitter.
2. Proflame Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC) board and a wiring harness to connect the IFC
to the gas valve and stepper motor.
Transmitter (Remote Control with LCD Display)
The Proflame Transmitter uses a streamline design with a simple button layout and informative
LCD display (Figure 1). The transmitter is powered by 3 AAA type batteries. A mode key is
provided to index between the features and a thermostat key is used to turn on/off or index through
thermostat functions (Figure 1 & Figure 2).

OPERATING PROCEDURE
Initializing the System for the first time
Install the 4 AA batteries into the battery bay. Note the polarity of the battery and insert into the
battery holder as indicated on the battery cover (+/-). Set the main ON/OFF and the CPI/IPI switch
in the closed position. Press the SW1 button on the IFC module. The IFC will “beep” three (3) times
to indicate that it is ready to synchronize with a transmitter. Install the 3 AAA type batteries in the
battery bay, located on the base of the transmitter. With the batteries already installed in the
transmitter, push the ON button. The receiver will “beep” four times to indicate the transmitter’s
command is accepted. If a second Transmitter must be registered it can be turned ON. The
receiver will beep again four (4) times and exit the synchronization phase. If only one transmitter is
used, then press the button SW1 to exit the synchronization phase.
The system is now initialized.
IFC Module
The Proflame 2 Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC) board is a device that allows the automatic
ignition and pilot flame supervision, to command the functions of a hearth appliance. It’s
configured to control the ON/OFF main burner operation, giving the choice of both IPI (intermittent
pilot ignition), and CPI (continuous pilot ignition) modes.
The Proflame 2 IFC board controls and connects directly to the pilot assembly and an automatic
valve of the Proflame 880, 886 and 885 families using low electric power.
The IFC Board can be powered by an AC and battery pack for back up (ATMO Systems only). The
Proflame 2 offers the added ability to control the comfort fan speed from OFF through six (6)
speeds, a remotely actuated auxiliary outlet and a dimmable light outlet. The external batteries can
provide DC power to the IFC allowing the batteries to be used only when line power is interrupted
or lost, and if the appliance does not use a combustion fan.

ROOM THERMOSTAT (Transmitter Operation)
The remote control can operate as a room thermostat. The
thermostat can be set to a desired temperature to control the
comfort level in a room.
To activate this function, press the thermostat key (Figure 1). The
LCD display on the transmitter will change to show that the room
thermostat is “ON” and the set temperature is now displayed
(Figure 7). To adjust the set point, press the up or down arrow
keys until the desired set point temperature is displayed on the
LCD screen of the transmitter.
Smart Thermostat (Transmitter Operation)
The Smart Thermostat function adjusts the flame height in
accordance to the difference between the set point and the room
temperatures. As the room temperature gets closer to the set point
the Smart Function will modulate the flame down. If the room
temperature is cool the Smart Function will modulate the flame up.
To activate this function, press the THERMOSTAT key (Figure 1)

OWNER’S
INFORMATION
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 (Figure 12) before all battery
power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this icon will
disappear.
Receiver
The life span of the IFC 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 IFC batteries are low, a "double-beep” will be emitted from the IFC board when it
receives a command from the transmitter. This is an alert for a low battery condition for the IFC
board. When the batteries are replaced the “beep” will be emitted from the IFC board when a
key is pressed (See Initialization of The System).
