Customer's Fault Description
Remote control unit does not ignite fire when battery cover is on. Fire can only be ignited when remote control battery cover is removed and battery held by thumb.Fire can be switched off whether remote control battery cover is on or off. Battery terminal connections appear to be sound.
Remote Fixer Repair Response
This fire controller arrived safely and on inspection the insulation was torn on the back of the battery clip. On testing the remote was found to have a signal on each button press but the signal strength was found to be weak. This was due to a faulty regulator, this was replaced as well as the battery cable / clip.
It is recommended as with all mertik maxitrols to ensure that fresh batteries are inserted in the receiver and remote on return as it is common for batteries in the receivers to leak causing irreparable damage.
