TWO-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

FOR ON/OFF-HI/LO OpERATION OF THE AF-4000 GAS CONTROL VALVE

IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT 

ATTEMpT TO OpERATE

INTRODUCTION

This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for use with the AF-4000 

gas control valve used with some gas heating appliances. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20’ range using non-

directional signals. The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote 

receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.

TRANSMITTER

This remote control TRANSMITTER offers the user a battery-operated hand held control to 

operate the AF-4000 control module functions that are used with some decorative gas fire

-

places and other gas heating appliances.

The transmitter operates with a 12V battery (Included) made specifically for remote controls 

and electronic lighters. Before using the transmitter, install the 12-volt (A-23) battery in the 

battery compartment. 

It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life and maxi-

mum operational performance.

The transmitter has ON/OFF and HI/LO functions that are activated by pressing the button 

on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed, a signal light on 

the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be 

a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is 

part of the system’s design. If the signal light does not illuminate, check the position of the 

transmitter’s battery.

MATCHING SECURITY CODES

Each transmitter can use one of 255 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program (LEARN FUNCTION) the module to accept 

the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the 

factory. In order for the module to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on the module is in the REMOTE position; 

the module will NOT “LEARN” if the slide switch is in the OFF position. Press and release the LEARN button on the module to accept the 

transmitter security code and then pressing any button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the module, indicates the 

transmitter’s code has been accepted into the module. When an existing module has accepted the new transmitter code, the new security 

code will replace the old one.

The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in 

matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again - this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its 

timer circuitry - and try up to two or three more times.

OpERATION

1.  This remote control will operate the AF-4000 gas control valves ON/OFF and flame height HI/LO of the main burner.

2.  When the ON button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the module. The module then sends 3 volts of power to the 

internal solenoid. The internal solenoid then opens the gas flow to the main burner ON/OFF. The system uses a pulse or continuous 

3 volts DC power to operate the flame HI/LO solenoid or flame HI/LOW DC motor drive.

BATTERY LIFE

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the RCAF-3 TX can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function. Check and 

replace all batteries annually. The transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power.
