If the handset is in its factory reset condition, the display will 7ESC and r and a number (as shown in the photo).

Pairing the handset (with LCD display)


Pairing the handset (with LCD display)

Place the handset near the fire, i.e. within a metre (3 feet). No need to hold the handset at this time.


  • Simultaneously press and hold the + and - buttons on the control valve (not the handset) until the red light on the control valve begins to flash rapidly (it will take about 5 seconds to start flashing). Then immediately release the + and - buttons and quickly press the POWER button on the control valve. Note: Pressing of the POWER button must be done within 1 second of the red light coming on. If not done quickly enough, then the above must be repeated until done correctly.
  • When done correctly you will hear an audible sound from the handset and the display will show the symbol " ⎤- -⎡ " and the green light on the handset will be flashing. You now have 60 seconds to accept the pairing. To do this pick up and hold the handset to activate the unlocking of the keypad. Then press and hold the SET button for a few seconds.
  • You will hear a few beeps from the handset and the display will change and enter the SETUP menu. Whilst maintaining your grip on the handset, you can now set the display functions of the handset. Pressing the SET button advances through the settable features and pressing the MENU button returns back to the previous one. Pressing + or – changes the displayed information, for example:-

  • H 24 – This is the 12 Hr or 24 Hr time format. Pressing + or – will change H24 into H12. Press SET To confirm the setting and move to the next menu.
  • Day of the week is Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su. Again pressing + or - will change the day of the week. Press SET To confirm the setting and move to the next menu.
  • Next set the correct Hour using the + and - buttons. Press SET to confirm.
  • Then set the correct minutes using the + and - buttons. Press SET to confirm.
  • The remaining parameters do not need adjusting so keep pressing the SET button several times (about 7 times) to advance the display to the end of the menu.

  • You know when the setup menu has ended as will see the communication symbol (3 arcs of a circle) in the upper right hand side of the display. This symbol indicates that the handset is in operation mode (not setup) and in good communication with the control valve.

    IMPORTANT NOTE : If you do not complete all of the setup, the pairing is still stored after pressing SET the first time. The handset will re-enter setup mode as soon as the next unlock of the handset. Do not send a pairing request again from the valve! If this is done then another reset of the handset will be required and a new pairing done again.
