Transmitter Safety Features  
It is recommended that the TRANSMITTERS always be  
located within a 20 foot operating range of the ꢁreplace,  
preferably in the same room in which the ꢁreplace system  
is located. The TRANSMITTER features several safety  
features that alert the user when the TRANSMITTER is  
placed outside the 20 foot normal operating range.  
System Check  
Light the appliance following the lighting instructions that  
came with the ꢁreplace. Conꢁrm that the pilot ꢀame is on.  
It must be in operation for the main gas valve to operate.  
Thermo-Updating and Communication-Safety  
Features  
This remote control has a COMMUNICATION-SAFETY  
function built into its software. It provides an extra margin  
of safety when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal  
20 foot operating range of the receiver. It is also activated  
when the batteries become weak or are removed from  
the transmitter.  
Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the  
ON position. The main gas ꢀame (i.e., the ꢁre) should  
ignite.

Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a  
temperature of at least 2° F (1° C) above the ROOM  
temperature displayed on the LCD screen and the  
system ꢀame will ignite.  
Set the SET temperature to at least 2° F (1° C)  
below the room temperature and the system ꢀame  
will extinguish. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle  
on and off thermostatically approximately every two  
minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only  
when the temperature differential between ROOM and  
SET temperatures differs at least 2° F (1° C). The 2° F  
differential is the factory setting.  
General Information  
Transmitter Wall Bracket  
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the bracket  
provided. Locate the bracket on an inside wall sufꢁciently  
far away from direct sources of heat such as a ꢁreplace,  
incandescent lighting, or sunlight so it detects ambi-  
ent room temperatures, not a single heat source. If the  
bracket is installed on a solid wood wall, drill 1/8” pilot  
holes and install with the screws provided. If it is installed  
on a plaster/wallboard wall, ꢁrst drill two 1/4” holes into  
the wall, then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic  
wall anchors ꢀush with the wall, then install the screws  
provided.  
Timer Operation  
The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON  
or THERMO mode. Once the ꢁreplace system is in an  
operating mode, set the countdown timer to turn off in 15  
minutes. The timer function will allow operation to contin-  
ue until the “countdown time” on the LCD screen expires.  
After 15 minutes elapse, the system should turn off.  
Battery Life  
Life expectancy of the batteries in the transmitter should  
be at least 12 months. Check batteries annually. When  
the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver  
from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s  
range has decreased) the batteries should be checked.

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the ꢁreplace warms, this  
condensation will disappear.  
Condensation on the glass  
Blue ꢀames  
This is a result of normal operation and the ꢀames will begin to yellow as the ꢁreplace is al-  
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.  
When ꢁrst operated, this ꢁreplace may release an odor for the ꢁrst several hours. This is  
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from  
ꢁnishing materials and adhesives used near the ꢁreplace. These circumstances may require  
additional curing related to the installation environment.  
Odor from ꢁreplace  
Film on the glass  
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned  
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass  
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.

B. Design and Installation Considerations  
D. Inspect Appliance and Components  
Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to  
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of  
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the out-  
side. No additional outside air source is required.  
Carefully remove the appliance and components from  
the packaging (refer to Figure 4.2).

FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams  
are not drawn to scale. Actual installation may vary due to  
individual design preference.  
A. Select Appliance Location  
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important  
to consider the required clearances to walls (see Figure  
5.1).  
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate  
clearance around air openings and for service access. Due  
to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out  
of trafꢀc and away from furniture and draperies.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling ꢁre-  
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to  
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be  
caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insu-  
lation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement slab,  
a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent  
conducting cold up into the room.  
B. Construct the Appliance Chase  
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the  
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates  
the vent should enclosed inside the chase.  
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling ꢀrestops and wall shield  
ꢀrestops and construction of the chase may vary with the  
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the  
requirements of local building codes. Therefore, you MUST  
check local building codes to determine the requirements  
to these steps.  
C. Clearances  
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces  
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on  
carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than  
wood.  
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-  
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-  
lems. The chase should not break the outside building  
envelope in any manner.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain speciꢀed air space  
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:  
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever ꢀoor of the chase  
should be insulated. Vapor and air inꢁltration barriers  
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for  
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold  
air inꢁltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may  
be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.  
Insulation and other materials must be secured to  
prevent accidental contact.  
The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown  
insulation or other combustibles from entering and  
making contact with ꢁ replace or chimney.  
Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and  
a ꢁre.  
1-1/2 in.

E. Vent Diagrams  
To replace the ꢁrst starter elbow with two 45° elbows,  
refer to Figure 7.4. All other 90° elbows can be replaced  
with two 45° elbows.  
General Rules:  
SUBTRACT 3 ft. from the total H measurement for each  
90° elbow installed horizontally.  
SUBTRACT 1-1/2 ft. from the total H measurement for  
each 45° elbow installed horizontally.  
A maximum of three 90° elbows (or six 45° elbows)  
may be used in any vent conꢁguration. Some elbows

A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles  
B. Wall Penetration Framing  
Combustible Wall Penetration  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain air space clearance to  
vent. DO NOT pack insulation or other combustibles:  
Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must  
frame a hole for the wall shield ꢁrestop(s). The wall shield  
ꢁrestop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold  
air inꢁltration.  
Between ceiling ꢀrestops  
Between wall shield ꢀrestops  
Around vent system  
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from  
vent pipe may cause over heating and ꢀre.  
The opening must be framed on all four sides using the  
same size framing materials as those used in the wall  
construction.  
A wall shield ꢁrestop is required on one side only on  
interior walls. If your local inspector requires a wall shield  
ꢁrestop on both sides, then both wall shield ꢁrestops  
must have a heat shield attached to them.  
See Section 10.I. for information for regarding the  
installation of a horizontal termination cap.

I. Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal  
Termination  
Attach the vertical termination cap by sliding the inner  
collar of the cap into the inner ꢀue of the pipe section  
while placing the outer collar of the cap over the outer  
ꢀue of the pipe section.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! To prevent overheating and ꢀre,  
heat shields must extend through the entire wall thick-  
ness.  
Secure the cap by driving three self-tapping screws  
(supplied) through the pilot holes in the outer collar of the  
cap into the outer ꢀue of the pipe (see Figure 10.19).  
DO NOT remove the heat shields attached to the  
wall shield ꢀrestop and the horizontal termination  
cap.  
• Heat shields must overlap 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) mini-  
mum.  
Termination Cap  
There are two sections of the heat shield. One section  
is factory-attached to the wall shield ꢁrestop. The other  
section is factory-attached to the cap. See Figure 10.21.  
If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2 in.  
(38 mm) heat shield overlap when installed, an extended  
heat shield must be used.  
If the wall thickness is less than 4 in./102 mm the heat  
shields on the cap and wall shield ꢁrestop must to be  
trimmed. A minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap MUST  
be maintained.  
Use an extended heat shield if the ꢁnished wall thickness  
is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184 mm).  
The extended heat shield may need to be cut to length  
maintaining sufꢁcient length for a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm)  
overlap between heat shields.

Troubleshooting  
15  
With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you  
do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualiꢀed service technician in the diagnosis of a problem  
and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualiꢀed service technician. Con-  
tact your dealer to arrange a service call by a qualiꢀed service technician.  
A. Standing Pilot Ignition System  
Symptom  
Possible Causes  
Corrective Action  
1. After repeated triggering  
of the red or black piezo  
ignitor button, the spark  
ignitor will not light the  
pilot. Check for spark.  
A. No gas or low gas pressure.  
Check the remote shut-off valves from the appliance. Usually, there  
is a valve near the gas main. There can be more than one valve  
between the appliance and the main.  
B. No lp in tank.  
C. Ignitor.  
Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel.  
Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode  
wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor. Verify that there is  
no short in electrode wire.  
D. Pilot or misaligned electrode Using match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and  
(spark at electrode).  
trigger the piezo ignitor button again. If the pilot lights, an improper  
gas/air mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period  
is recommended. If the pilot will not light, ensure the gap at the  
electrode and pilot is one-eighth inch to have a strong spark. If the  
gap is OK, replace the pilot.  
2. The pilot will not stay lit  
after carefully following the  
lighting instructions.  
A. Thermocouple.  
Check that the pilot ꢁame impinges on the thermocouple. Adjust the  
pilot for proper ꢁame impingement.  
Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully  
inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).  
Verify proper voltage output from the thermocouple to the valve.  
Place one millivolt meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper  
lead. Place the second lead wire on the solder button on the back  
of the valve (blue wire). Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in.  
The millivolt reading should read 8-16 millivolts. If millivolt reading  
is less than 8 millivolts, replace thermocouple.  
B. Improper gas inlet pressure.  
C. Control valve.  
Natural gas should be 5-14 in. w.c. LP should be 10-14 in. w.c.  
Verify pressure with manometer.  
If the thermocouple is producing 8-16 millivolts, replace control  
valve.  
3. The pilot is burning, there A. On/off switch or wires  
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place  
the jumper wires across the terminals at the ON/OFF switch. If the  
burner comes on, replace the ON/OFF switch. If the switch is OK,  
place the jumper wires across the ON/OFF switch wires at the gas  
valve. If the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections  
are bad.  
is no burner ꢁame, the  
valve knob is in the ON  
position, and the ON/  
OFF switch is in the ON  
position.  
defective.  
B. Thermopile may not be  
generating sufꢀcient  
millivoltage.  
Check that the pilot ꢁame impinges thermopile properly.  
Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve  
terminals are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the  
pilot bracket.  
Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at  
TH-TP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 350  
millivolts minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the  
pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF  
position. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the speciꢀed  
minimum.  
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads  
from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading  
should be 350 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the  
reading is below the minimum.

Possible Cause  
C. Failed valve.  
Corrective Action  
Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch  
in the ON position. Check the millivolt meter a the thermopile  
terminals. The millivolt meter should read greater than 125mV. If the  
reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace  
the gas valve.  
D. Plugged burner oriꢀce.
