What to Check:

Ensure that there is proper ventilation to the control module.

• 

Is module located in unapproved location, too close to burner?

• 

Move to cooler location.

• 

Wireless Remote Transmitter Will Not Operate Appliance

Make sure that the transmitter is within the 30-foot operational range of the control module.

• 

Ensure batteries in transmitter are fully charged and properly installed.

• 

If using optional battery pack, ensure batteries are fully charged and properly installed.  Also, make sure that the battery pack’s 

• 

4-pin connector is securely connected to the battery pack and control module.

If using optional AC adapter, ensure that the AC adapter leads are securely attached to “POWER” connection on the control mod-

• 

ule.  Also, ensure that the AC adapter is connected to a live 120VAC power source.

Ensure “Remote/Off” switch on control module is set to “Remote”.

• 

Ensure the control module has learned the transmitter’s security code (see security code section).

• 

Make sure that the remote transmitter is not placed/mounted to a metal surface, which will reduce the operating range.

• 

Make sure that there is not a large metal obstruction between the remote transmitter and the control module.

• 

Igniter Electrode Sparks Frequently During Operation

The control module will generate a spark at the igniter electrode if the system is in the ON position, but does not sense a flame.

Make sure that the flame sensor electrode is clean.  Soot buildup will insulate the electrode and will not allow for proper flame 

• 

sensing.

Make sure that wind does not blow the flame off of the flame sensor.  The sensor hood and the appliance media (rocks, glass, etc.) 

• 

provide shielding from the wind.  Ensure that the sensor hood and appliance media is properly positioned per the appliance instruc-

tions.  If wind is too strong, and the flame will not maintain contact with the flame sensor, the appliance should not be operated.

Flame Modulation Will Not Work or Works Backwards

Ensure that the black and red leads from the battery pack or the AF-4000 110H/L module are securely connected to the red and 

• 

black leads from the motor drive or H/L latching solenoid located on the valve body (red to red and black to black).

Verify that the selector switch on the battery pack is set to DC MOTOR DRIVE or LATCHING SOLENOID, depending upon which 

• 

device is installed in the gas valve.

Check functionality with all transmitters to determine if there is an issue with the main control system or an individual transmitter.  

• 

If the issue is with an individual transmitter, make sure that the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver are installed properly 

and fully charged.
