INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic
switch box (not metal) or placed on or near the fi replace hearth.
Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic
switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from the heat
produced by the gas appliance. The remote receiver should be kept away
from temperatures exceeding 130º F. Battery life is also signifi cantly
shortened if batteries are exposed to temperatures 130ºF or higher.
Before installation make sure the remote receiver slide switch is in the
OFF position. After installation be sure that the slide switch is moved
to the REMOTE position.
MOUNTING REMOTE RECEIVER WALL MOUNT
When wall mounting the remote receiver, longer wires (not included) are
required to connect to the gas valve or electronic module.
These wires must: Be at least 18 Gauge (AWG), no longer than 20-feet and
have no splices.
Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower tab on
cover plate inserted into groove of receiver (Make sure LEARN hole on
cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver). Pull receiver up and
snap into top tab of cover plate.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the fi replace hearth or under the
fi replace behind the control access panel. Use the wires attached to the
remote receiver to connect to the gas valve or the electric module (pig-
gyback connectors have both male & female terminals for fl exibility).
Be sure that the connectors do not touch each other or other bare metal
surfaces; this will cause the appliance to turn on. The connectors may
be wrapped with electrical tape to prevent this.
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 modifi cations of this remote
control or any of its components will void the warranty and may
pose a fi re 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
specifi cations.
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 elec-
tronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.
