TRANSMITTER – RT8220A/RT8220A-2

The transmitter controls the flame level, fan speed, and room temperature. 

The three basic operating modes are the OFF mode, ON (manual) mode, and AUTO mode.

In OFF mode, the fireplace flame and fan are off. 

In ON mode, the flame level and fan speed can be adjusted by the user. 

In the AUTO mode, the RT8220A is used as a thermostat to allow the fireplace to control the temperature of the room automatically.

There are six buttons on the remote. 

The buttons are the mode, delay timer, flame, fan, up, and down buttons. 

The mode button changes the operating mode of the RT8220A.

The delay timer enables or disables a shutoff timer function. 

The flame and fan buttons are used to change the flame or fan levels. 

The up and down keys are used to change the temperature setting or flame, fan, and delay timer values. 

Below is a detailed description of how to use the transmitter.

OFF MODE In the OFF mode, the display will show OFF and the room temperature. If the receiver is in REMOTE mode, the fireplace will shut off.

ON MODE (manual)In the ON mode, the room temperature, flame, and fan levels will be shown. 

MANUAL will appear next to both the flame and fan icons.

When the control is in the ON mode, the flame and fan levels and delay timer are changed with the up and down buttons. 

To change the flame level, press the flame button followed by an arrow key up or down.

To change the fan level, press the fan key followed by an arrow key. 

Pushing the arrow key once will change the level by one unit. DELAY TIMER MODE The shut-off delay timer has a maximum of 2 hours and a minimum of zero minutes.

To change the timer level, press the time key,  followed by an arrow key. Pushing the key once will change the timer by 10 minutes.

AUTO MODE In the AUTO mode, the room temperature, set temperature, flame, and fan levels will be shown on the display. 

The word “ AUTO” will appear next to both the flame and fan icons.

When the control is in AUTO mode, the main burner will turn on/off or modulate based on the heat needed to maintain the set temperature.  

The flame level will change automatically to optimize the heat output needed to maintain the set temperature. 

To change the set temperature, press the up or down key. Pushing a key once will change the temperature by one degree.

In the AUTO mode, the fan speed will increase with increasing flame height or decrease with decreasing flame height. “AUTO” is displayed next to the flame and fan icons.

FAN OVERRIDE DURING AUTO MODE If a lower or higher fan speed is desired when operating in the AUTO mode, the fan speed can be overridden by pushing the fan button followed by the up or down key. 

Pushing a key once will change the fan level by one unit. 

In this mode “ AUTO” is displayed next to the flame icon and “MANUAL” is displayed next to the fan icon.

CHANGE BETWEEN F/C TEMPERATURE UNITS Push the up and down arrow keys simultaneously for at least 3 seconds to toggle between F and C units
