The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA-size
batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used
for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor
performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are
essential to proper operation of the remote receiver as a
latching solenoid power consumption is substantially higher
than standard remote control systems.
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE PLACED WHERE
AMBIENT TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130°F.
NOTE:
The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote
receiver is in the REMOTE position. The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the
transmitter to control system operation.
REMOTE RECEIVER FUNCTIONS
1. With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the system will only
operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the
2. 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 solenoid. If the system does not respond to the
transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO
3. RECEIVER.
4. With slide switch in the ON position you can manually turn ON the
system without the transmitter.
5. With the slide in the OFF position, the system is OFF.
6. 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.
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.
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position before connecting wires. For best results it is recommended
that 18 gauge stranded wires should be used to make connections and no longer than 20-feet.
NOTE:
This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or fire feature. Adults must be present when
the Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance
or fire feature when Adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or fire feature
burning unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an Adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or
fire feature for any length of time, then the handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the
“OFF” position.
