ELECTRICAL WIRING (MILLI-VOLT)

CONNECTING REMOTE RECEIVER

THESE INSTRUCTIONS SUPERSEDE THE SECTION ENTITLED “HEARTH MOUNT” IN THE MILLI-VOLT 

HAND-HELD REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE REMOTE.

1.  Remove bottom louver door.  
2.  Connect the remote connectors located in the unit.  
3.  Stick Velcro

®

 pads with self-adhesive backing to bottom of remote receiver and to floor of compartment behind access 

panel.

4.  Attach remote receiver to firebox with Velcro

®

 pads. Control switch must face forward.

CHECKING SYSTEM OPERATION

The millivolt system and individual components may be checked with a millivolt meter having a 0-1000 mV range. 

Conduct each check shown in chart below by connection meter test leads to terminals as indicated.

A.  COMPLETE MILLIVOLT SYSTEM CHECK 

   (“A” Reading - Thermostat contacts CLOSED - Control Knob “ON” - Main burner should be come 

ON)

 

a.  If the reading is more than 100 millivolts and the automatic valve still does not come on, replace the control.

 

b.  If the closed circuit reading (“A” reading) is less than 100 milli-volts, determine cause for low reading, proceed to 

Section B below. 

B.  Thermopile Output Reading Check 

 

(“B” Reading - Thermostat contacts OPEN - Main burner OFF)

 

1.  Check gas pressure to the unit. If gas pressure is within minimum and maximum on data plate, then check pilot 

voltage, 325 millivolts minimum. If the minimum milli-volt reading is not obtainable, replace pilot.
