NOTICE
The use of the Mertik Maxitrol interrupter block is recommended.
Keep connection of interrupter block and thermocouple clean
and dry. Avoid excessive bending of the thermocouple tubing dur-
ing installation (min. 1ʺ radius; 2.5 cm) as this can cause it to fail.

1. Tighten brass interrupter block into valve ¼ turn beyond finger
tight. If necessary, an additional ¼ turn is possible.
CAUTION:
Further tightening will damage the plastic sleeve in
the brass interrupter block and can cause a short in the circuit.
NOTE:
Do not over-torque or under-torque the interrupter
block to achieve a specific slot alignment.
2. Slide spade connectors into plastic insert (see figure 10).
3. Slide plastic insert with spade connectors into the brass inter-
rupter block until it snaps (see figure 11).
4. While holding the interrupter block with a wrench, thread the
thermocouple into the female end of the interrupter block ¼ –
½ turn beyond finger tight (see figure 12).
Ignition Cable
NOTICE
Do not damage the ignition cable while attaching it to the igni-
tion electrode. When the cable is in place, avoid contact with
sharp objects or edges.
With cables longer than 900 mm, avoid contact with metal parts,
as this could decrease spark.
Receiver
NOTICE
To keep the receiver free from debris, dirt, and humidity, do not
remove the receiver from the plastic bag until all construction
is complete.
Radio Frequency Handset
A code is selected automatically for all Mertik Maxitrol electronics
from among 65,000 codes available. The receiver must be paired
with the handset.
Synchronization Receiver/Handset
(First time use only)
1. Insert batteries or connect AC mains power. The module for
circulating fan and light / dimmer includes a mains adapter.
With mains adapter, batteries can be used for backup.
2. Place ON / OFF switch (if equipped) to
ON
position.
3. The receiver has to learn the handset code:
Press and hold the receiver’s reset button (see figure 15) until
you hear two (2) beeps. After the second, longer beep, release
the reset button. Within the subsequent 20 seconds press the
button on the handset. Two (2) short beeps confirm the code is
set. “
” is displayed on the handset confirming the synchroni-
zation is in process (see figure 13). After successful synchroniza-
tion the current state of the gas fire is displayed on the handset.
Main Gas (Pipe Connections)
1. Mertik Maxitrol does NOT recommend the use of Teflon
®
/ PTFE
tape.
2. Pipe to be inserted into the valve must be the proper thread
length and to gauge. Thread that is cut too long can cause
distortion or malfunction if inserted too deeply. Thread cut too
short can cause thread stripping if over-torqued.
3. Apply a moderate amount of approved pipe sealant to the pipe
only, leaving the two end threads bare.
4. Connect pipe to valve inlet and outlet.
Pilot Gas (Tubing Connections)
1. Do not use pipe joint compound. Mertik Maxitrol does NOT
recommend the use of Teflon
®
/ PTFE tape.
2. Slip fitting over tubing.
3. Insert pilot tubing into pilot outlet until it bottoms. Turn fitting
finger tight.
4. Turn with a wrench until you shear off the ferrule. Turn an ad-
ditional ¾ turn to make a gastight seal.
5. Connect other end of tubing to pilot burner.
The control valve must be in the closed position when the
gas supply line is tested for leakage up to 150 mbar (15 kPa;
2 PSI). Above 150 mbar (15 kPa; 2 PSI) the control valve must
be isolated from the gas supply.
PERFORM GAS LEAK TEST
1. Check carefully for gas leaks immediately after the valve has
been installed and the gas turned on.
Do this before attempt-
ing to operate the appliance or other gas burning device.
2. Using a clean brush, apply an approved leak test solution to
the tubing and pipe connections. Bubbles indicate a leak.
3. If no leakage is detected, light the main burner.
4. With the main burner in operation, apply an approved leak test
solution to all tubing and pipe connections (including adapters)
and the valve inlet and outlet. Bubbles indicate a leak.
5. If a leak is detected, tighten pipe connections (including adapt-
ers) according to “Gas Connections” (page 5).
Do NOT use if leakage is detected. There is a danger of fire or
explosion depending on conditions.
WIRING
(See figures 16–20, pages 8–12)
Connect all components according to the appropriate wiring diagram.
NOTICE
Wiring of valve and receiver must be completed before starting
ignition. Failure to do so could damage the electronics.
▪ When GV60 components are installed, make sure they are not
exposed to dirt, oil, grease or other chemical agents.
▪ Do not permit foreign particles under plastic cover.
▪ Place ON / OFF switch (if equipped) where it is easily accessible
for the user.
Thermocouple Circuit
Total resistance of thermocouple circuit should be minimized to
ensure proper operation.
