WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by this remote
should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections
WILL
cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module
operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote receiver.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES
The remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the TH (thermostat) terminals on the terminal block on the millivolt gas
valve. Connect 18 gauge solid or stranded wires from the remote receiver to the gas valve.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat in that both turn the gas
valve
on and off based on input signals. A thermostat’s input signals are different temperatures.
The
remote receiver’s input signals come from the transmitter.
Connect one of the two wires leading from the receiver to the TH terminal and the other to
the
TH/TP terminal on the millivolt gas valve it does not matter which wires go to which
terminal.
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS
The remote control receiver can be connected, in series between a 24VAC transformer
and the TR terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the
24VAC transformer to either of the wires on the remote receiver. Connect the other wire
on the receiver (wires included) terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the
ELECTRONIC MODULE.
SYSTEM CHECK
MILLIVOLT VALVES AND ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITION SYSTEMS
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be in
operation for the main gas valve to operate.
•
Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. On millivolt systems the main gas flame (i.e., the fire)
should ignite. On Electronic ignition systems the spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot (the pilot may ignite
after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should ignite.
•
Slide the button to OFF. On millivolt systems the flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on). On electronic ignition
systems the main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
•
Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), and then press the ON button on the transmitter to change the system to
ON. The main gas flame should ignite. On Electronic ignition systems the spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the
pilot (the pilot may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas
flame should ignite.
