INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SINGLE-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR OPERATING VALVES WITH ON/OFF LATCHING SOLENOIDS
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for the AF-LMF valve kit.
The system is operated manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot range using
non-directional signals. The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the
remote receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.
Review THERMO SAFETY SECTION under RECEIVER section. This high temperature safety feature shuts
down the appliance when a potentially unsafe condition exists.
TRANSMITTER
This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to
power an ON/OFF latching solenoid such as the one used with the AF-LMF valve
kit.
The circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to operate a latching
solenoid. The circuit has reversing polarity software that reverses the positive (+)
and negative (-) output of the receiver's battery power to drive solenoid (ON/OFF
FLAME) or open/close. The SYSTEM is controlled by the remote transmitter.
The transmitter operates on a 12V battery made specifically for remote controls
and electronic lighters. Before using the transmitter install the 12-volt (A-23)
battery in the battery compartment.
It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life
and maximum operational performance.
The transmitter has ON and OFF functions that are activated by pressing either
button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is
pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being
sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote
receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's design. If the
signal light does not illuminate, check the position of the transmitter's battery.
INSTALLING THE ON/OFF SOLENOID
NOTE
: The AF-LMF valve kit comes with a brass cap fitting that must be removed before the ON/OFF solenoid can be installed. Under
this brass cap fitting there is a unique safety seal that prevents gas leakage after the brass cap fitting has been removed. This allows
the brass cap fitting to be removed and the ON/OFF solenoid to be installed with out shutting off the main gas valve that supplies gas to
the AF-LMF valve kit.
1.
Remove the (2) screws from the front metal faceplate then remove the faceplate on the AF-LMF valve kit and set aside.
2.
Using a screwdriver remove the brass cap fitting. Note Figure 1 (Retain the brass cap fitting so if the solenoid is removed
the brass cap fitting can be reinstalled)
