Two-function wireless remote control system for On/Off-Hi/

Lo operation of the AF-4000 gas control valve

FCC REQUIREMENTS

NOTICE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio 

or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to 

this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s 

authority to operate the equipment.

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-foot range using non-directional signals. The system 

operates on one of 255 factory-programmed security codes; the 

remote receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial 

use.

TRANSMITTER

This remote control Transmitter allows the user to turn the 

fireplace on and off, and adjust the flame height.

The transmitter operates with a 12V battery (included). 

Before using the transmitter, install the battery in the battery 

compartment.

For long life and optimal performance, replace the transmitter 

battery annually with a 12V alkaline battery only.  

Under normal use, an alkaline battery can last up to 12 months.  

Frequent use of the Hi/Lo buttons may reduce battery life. The 

transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power.

IP REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION & OPERATION

The transmitter has ON/OFF and HI/LO functions. When you 

press a button on the transmitter, the signal light illuminates to 

verify that a signal is being sent. 

Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before 

the remote receiver responds. 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 security codes. You may 

need to program the module to match the transmitter security 

code upon initial use, or after replacing batteries, or if you need 

to replace the transmitter. 

Slide button on the module to the REMOTE position; 

Press and release the LEARN button on the module to accept 

the transmitter security code and then press any button on the 

transmitter. 

A change in the module’s beeping pattern indicates the 

transmitter’s code has been accepted. Once the 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 two minutes before trying again - this allows the 

microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry.   If you are unable to 

match the code after three tries, contact your dealer..

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 motor drive.

3.  The valve will light in the HI setting, then revert to the last 

used setting. If the burner fluctuates between HI and LO, set 

the burner to HI. After five minutes, set the burner to LO.
