3 Operational description
3.1 Overview
The decorative fireplace gas transceiver (DFGT) is a controller that controls burners through an ignition control
(ESYS). Additionally, it allows control of several options that can be implemented in a decorative fireplace, such as
a light or fan option. Via a wireless decorative fireplace remote control (DFRC) the user can operate the controller.
The remote control shows the status of the controller on a display. The same control is possible with Bluetooth BLE
(for DFGT-03MCB23 only).
An optional gateway (BRDG) can be introduced to allow the controller to be operated through a mobile application.
In this document it is referenced to as the APP. The DFRC and APP can be used in the same setup.

3.2 Control functions

Available control functions in the DFGT:
Control Functions
 Demand control
Operator can control pilot, main burner or second burners (if available) and the flameheight
 Burner control
Burner control will start the ESYS for ignation
 Temperature control
This will enable to control the fireplace to have a constant temprature in the room
 Wave function controls
This enables the flame heigth be changing constantly for more dramatic view
 Overheating protection
The DFGT will check the enviromental temperature to guarantee the unit is working below maximal temperature.
 Person Present Control
A PIR sensor can be connected. The fireplace is switched off after a timeout of not noticing a person,

3.3 Communication

The DFGT has 868MHz communication on the Airios protocol. This enables it to communicate with a remote
control DF-03RC03 (DFRC).
The DFGT-03MCB23 has a 2,4GHz radio form Bluetooth BLE communication too. It can be used to send and
receive the same information as the DFRC. It enables customers to us e a app instead of DFRC (or develop their
own remote control based on BLE)
