TRANSMITTER WALL CLIP
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the clip provided. If the clip is
installed on a solid wood wall, drill 1/8” pilot holes and install with the screws
provided. If it is installed on a plaster/wallboard wall, first drill two 1/4” holes into
the wall. Then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors flush with the
wall; then install the screws provided.
OPERATION
1. This remote control will operate the gas valves servomotor to turn the gas
valve from full OFF to full ON.
2. When the ON button is depressed the transmitter is sending a continuos RF
signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a continuous 6 volts of power to
the servomotor. The servomotor turns to open the gas flow to the burner then
to full ON.
3. When the OFF button is depressed the transmitter is sending a continuos RF
signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a continuous 6 volts of power to
the servomotor. The servomotor turns to close the gas flow to the burner then full OFF.
4. The remote control will only work with the hand held transmitter. The receiver slide switch is only for positive OFF or
REMOTE operation.
NOTE:
Extensive use of the SERVO MOTOR setting will reduce the receiver’s battery life significantly.

BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the SR-1001 can be up to 12 months depending on use of the servo function.
Check all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previ-
ously (i.e., the transmitter's range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be
checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing combined output voltage of at least
5.0 volts. The transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power. NOTE: Extensive use of the SERVO
MOTOR setting will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the
MRCK (SR-1001) remote system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections
are properly made. Then check the operation of the remote in the following manner:
1. Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from
operating properly.
2. Check battery in TRANSMITTER to ensure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in
for tighter fit.
3. Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER is within 20 to 25-foot operating range.
4. Clear Codes
: Memory in the receiver might be full if the learn button is pressed too many times. If this happens it
will not allow any more codes to be learned and no audible beep will be heard. To clear memory, place the receiver
slide switch into the REMOTE position. Press the learn button and release after 10 seconds. You should hear three
(3) long audible beeps indicating all codes have cleared. You can now “learn” the transmitter to the receiver as de-
scribed in the General Information Section.
5. Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 120° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
115° F.
6. If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
