Important Safety Information

 

 
 

 

Read this manual thoroughly prior to installing, programming or operating any remote control. 

 

This remote control system is designed for use with a millivolt gas valve system with blower.  Do not use 
this remote control system on applications with voltages above 24 Volts AC/DC and 1 amp current. 

 

This remote control system requires three (3) “AAA” alkaline batteries to power the transmitter. The 
receiver is powered by external AC Adapter.   

 

Wiring must conform to appliance requirement and building codes/ordinances as required by local and 
national code authorities having jurisdiction. 

 

Do not short (or jumper) across the gas valve terminals to test the remote control installation. This could 
damage the unit and void the warranty. 

 

This remote control system should only be used as described in this manual.  Any other use is not 
recommended and will void the warranty.

Due to the sensitive temperature monitoring components in the transmitter,  it is  necessary to 
allow the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature before accurate room temperatures are 
displayed.  If the transmitter is activated from a severe cold condition, allow 15 minutes for 
accurate temperature readings to appear on the LCD.
