Hello,
Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated. We have a Napoleon gas fireplace with a remote control. On Saturday the power was out and decided to try the fireplace to keep warm. To our surprise the fireplace would not light. Did some poking around (replaced batteries etc) and could not solve. Luckily the power was only out a couple hours, but would like to solve before the next one.
The receiver is a Napoleon F45 and uses 4 AA batteries. The receiver only has 2 wires which never seem to have the 6V regardless of what position the switch is in (Off/Remote/On). Through tracing the 2 wires connect to the "Command" Section of the connector. When the unit has power through the AC adapter the 7V comes into the power section of the connector on the red/black. Obviously this isn't there when power is out, so I guess I don't understand how the system works and what is missing to make it work during power outages. Again, any help is appreciated.
