Receiver  

The Receiver accepts commands via radio frequency 
from  the  Remote  to  operate  the  appliance.  The 
Receiver  is  powered  (6V  DC)  by  the  Fan  Control 
Module  and  uses  four  1.5  volt  AA  type  batteries  for 
backup  during  power  outages.  The  Receiver

’s  slider 

switch  is  set  to  one  of  three  positions:  ON  (Manual 
Override),  REMOTE  (Remote  Control)  or  OFF.  The 
ON  selection  turns  the  valve  on  (to  high)  if  the 
Remote becomes inoperative.  

Fan Control Module 

The  Fan  Control  Module  (FCM)  is  the  main  power 
supply  for  the  entire  system  when  120v  AC  is 
available.  The  FCM  is  part  of  the  blower  assembly 
(packaged  separately).  The  FCM  provides  two  120V 
remotely  controlled  outlets,  and  one  constantly 
powered  outlet.  The  FCM  allows  the  remote  to 
control  the  fan  unit  through  6  speeds  and  turns  the 
auxiliary  outlet  on  and  off.  This  module  also  powers 
the Receiver and Ignition Module with 6v DC, making 
the  batteries  in  the Receiver a  backup power source 
expanding the life of the batteries. When 120V power 
is not available the FCM will not operate.  

The FCM is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) 
plug  for  protection  against  shock  hazard  and  should 
be  plugged  directly  into  a  properly  grounded  three-
prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding 
prong from the plug. 

Proflame DFC Ignition Module 

This  is  the  command  center  for  the  appliance.  The 
DFC Module allows the pilot to run in the Intermittent 
(IPI) mode or the Constant (CPI) mode. It signals the 
burner  to  light  or  shut  down  and  provides  the  ignitor 
with  the  electricity  needed  for  sparking.  The  DFC 
Module is powered by the FCM when 120V power is 
available or by the batteries in the Receiver during a 
power outage. 

SIT Modulating Gas Valve 

The  remote  transmitter  can  modulate  the  valve  and 
the  flame  to  6  different  settings  between  high  and 
low.  You  can  modulate  the  flame  via  the  remote 
yourself or by setting the remote control to the Smart 
Thermostat  modulation  mode.  Smart  mode  means 
that as the room temperature approaches the limit set 
for  shut  down  the  valve  will  automatically  gradually 
step  down  the  flame  height.  The  reverse  happens 
when  the  room  cools  -  the  valve  will  automatically 
gradually increase the flame height. 

Pilot Assembly 

The  pilot  assembly  consists  of  a  pilot  hood,  sensor 
rod, and ignitor. The ignitor sends a spark to the pilot 
hood  which  ignites  the  gas  and  lights  the  pilot.  With 
the  pilot  lit  the  sensor  rod  is  engulfed  by  the  flame, 
flame  rectification  occurs  and  the  appliance  remains 
lit.  If  the  sensor  does  not  stay  engulfed  by  the  flame 
the  main  burner  will  not  light  and  the  pilot  will  shut 
down.
