NOTE
: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is
in the (middle) REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING
TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER section, and re-check 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 or
louvers. Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case does not exceed 130°F.
NOTE
: Slide Button
(included) is used for Hearth Mount applications.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is trained with gas appliances 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 must be connected to the millivolt valve at the
TH
&
TH/TP
(thermostat) terminals on the terminal block on the
millivolt gas valve. Connect 18-gage stranded or solid 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 black wire to the
TH
terminal and the other black wire to the
TH/TP
terminals on the millivolt gas valve.
Normally it does not matter which wires go to which terminal (Fig. 14).
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS
The remote control receiver can be connected, in series, to
a 24VAC transformer to the
TR
(transformer) terminal on the
ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC
transformer to either of the wire terminals on the remote receiver.
Connect another wire (not included) between the other receiver
wire terminal and the
TH
(thermostat) terminal on the
ELECTRONIC MODULE (Fig. 15).

LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the
LEARN
button on the receiver 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 receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on
the receiver is in the
REMOTE
position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the
ON
or
OFF
position. The
LEARN
button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screw-
driver or end of a paperclip gently press and release the black LEARN button inside
the hole. When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible
“beep”. After the receiver emits the beep press the transmitter
MODE
button and
release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has
been accepted into the receiver.
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.
