INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

WARNING 

This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions.  Read all instructions completely before 
attempting installation.  Follow instructions carefully during installation.  Any modifications of the remote control or any of its components 
will void the warrant and may be pose a fire hazard. 
 
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power.  Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions 
and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires.  All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s specifications. 
 
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only.  Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or electronic 
module for correct wiring procedures.  Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve 
and remote receiver.   

 

INSTALLATION 

 

The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth.  Preferably, 
the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box. When locating the receiver at the hearth PROTECTION FROM 
EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.  Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from 
temperatures exceeding 130

0

 F inside the receiver case.  Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high 

temperatures.   

 

Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position.  It is recommended that 18 gauge solid or stranded wires  (included) be 
used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module and the wire terminals on 
the remote receiver.  For the best results use wire with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.   

 

WALL MOUNTING 

 

Install (4) AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver.  For best performance, remote receiver batteries should be factory 
fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best 
when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts.  Four new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts.  

Be sure 

batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction

.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

  To attach Cover Plate to Receiver box 

 

 

 

   Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower  

tab on cover plate inserted into groove of receiver make sure  
the cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver. Pull Receiver  
up and snap into top tab of cover plate. 

 

Position the cover plate so the word ON is facing up; then, install  
the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using the two long  
screws provided.  Push the White Button over the receiver slide  
switch. Make sure the remote receiver code switches has been set 
to match the transmitter code switches before completing the  
installation 

Note

: Code setting section on page 4. 

 

 

NOTE

:  The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the  

REMOTE position.  If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see CODE SETTING SECTION, 
and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver

.   

 

 
HEARTH MOUNT 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the  
control access panel.  Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case does  
not exceed 130

0

 F

.  Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed  

to high temperatures. Make sure the remote receiver code switches have been set to  
match the transmitter code switches before completing the installation
