Understanding the Basic Operation of the Residential 

R520-ST & R620-ST Fireplace

Residential R520-ST & R620-ST fireplace

The control compartment of this fireplace is located in the bottom of 

the fireplace right below the burner system. All models will be supplied 

with a Honeywell smart valve gas control and will not have a variable 

flame control. There are two air switches that are controlling the gas 

control system, and are located in the bottom of this fireplace. These 

gas valves, and  pressure switches communicate with the electrical 

control panel via a six conductor cable supplied with the fireplace. 
To operate the fireplace, Montigo has supplied and installed twenty 

feet of low voltage wire to this electrical control panel. Connect the 

two wire harness to a standard single pole ON/Off switch located at 

a location of your choice. You may also extent these wires to any 

length, as long as you select a wire of equal quality.
