REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

FUNCTIONS: 

With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the system will only operate

if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.

Upon initial use or after an extended period of no use, the ON button may

have to be pressed for up to three seconds before activating servo motor. If

the  system  does  not  respond  to  the  transmitter  on  initial  use,  see

LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER.

With  the  slide  switch  in  the  ON  position  you  can  manually  turn  ON  the

system.

With the slide in the OFF position, the system is OFF.

It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the OFF position if you will

be away from your home for an extended period of time.

Placing  the  slide  switch  in  the  OFF  position  also  functions  as  a

safety "lock out" by both turning the system OFF and rendering the

transmitter inoperative.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

WARNING 

DO  NOT  CONNECT  REMOTE  RECEIVER  DIRECTLY  TO  110-120VAC  POWER.    THIS  WILL  BURN 

OUT  THE  RECEIVER.    FOLLOW  INSTRUCTIONS  FROM  MANUFACTURER  OF  GAS  VALVE  FOR 

CORRECT  WIRING  PROCEDURES.    IMPROPER  INSTALLATION  OF  ELECTRIC  COMPONENTS 

CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO GAS VALVE AND REMOTE RECEIVER. 

INSTALLATION 

The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth.  PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. 

Like  any  piece  of  electronic  equipment,  the  remote  receiver  should  be  kept  away  from  temperatures  exceeding  130º  F  inside  the 

receiver case.  Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures. 

HEARTH MOUNT 

The  remote  receiver  can  be  placed  on  the  fireplace  hearth  or  under  the  fireplace,  behind  the 

control access panel.  Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case does not 

exceed 130º F.   

NOTE

: Black Button is used on Hearth Mount Applications. 

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS 

Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. For best results it is recommended 

that 18 gauge stranded wires should be used to make connections and no longer than 20-feet. 

This CON1001 TH remote receiver is to be connected 

to a manual valve with a latching ON/OFF solenoid.      

Connect two 18 gauge stranded or solid wires from the 

remote  receiver  terminals  to  the  latching  solenoid. 

(See figure to the right) 

IMPORTANT  NOTE:

    Operation  of  this  control  is 

dependent on which wire is attached to which terminal. 

If operation of control does not correspond to operating 

buttons  on  transmitter,  reverse  wire  installation  at  the 

receiver or at the control.
