An optional programmable Remote Control Thermostat can be fit-
ted to the heater at the factory when ordered or even after the heat-
er has been installed. See your Mantis dealer for correct type.
Installation: The Remote Control can be installed by the owner
of the heater if required. The Remote Control is a battery operated
device, which requires a small amount of low voltage wiring. A
wiring loom package is supplied by Empire Comfort Systems,
Inc. which simply attaches onto the junction box. See Figure 35.
Remove blue jumper wire from junction block and save for fur
-
ture use. From the remote control receiver, cut and strip one black
wire 1/4” terminal from wire. Attach the stripped black wire to
the blue wire connector from the transformer on the junction box.
From the remote control receiver, attach the Y wiring lead to the
1/4” terminal on the black wire. Attach the one white wire to the
red wire connection from “T1” on the junction block. Attach the
other white wire from the remote control receiver to the black
wire connection from “T2” on the junction block.
Economy Display Mode (Red Button Operation): The red but
-
ton above the two burner switches is called the economy display
mode and will only function when a Remote Control Thermostat
has been installed in the heater. The most common way this button
is used to have the Remote Control set on Thermo mode with a
desired temperature set for the heater to turn on and off, which is
dependant on the ambient temperature, location and the area the
appliance is positioned in. When using a Remote Control Ther-
mostat both burner switches need to be in the on position. When
the red button is pressed with both burner switches on, the front
burner only will ignite or if already alight, it will now remain on
regardless of what function or temperature is set on the Remote
Control.
In this situation only the back burner will turn on and off accord
-
ing to the setting on the Remote Control. By running the heater
this way you will use less gas and still have the aesthetic effect of
the front burner. However, if the appliance is in a small area, this
setting may get to warm for you. To change the setting, press the
red button so that it is not illuminated and the heater will revert
back to its normal operation.

In basic terms the red button acts as a Remote Control override
switch for the front burner only. Also the Remote can switch the
heater on and off in the high setting, medium setting or low set-
ting.
Note: When the heater or the Remote Control is not being used
for long periods the burner switches should be in the off posi-
tion, also in summer the heater should be turned off at the power
point.
