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 does not exceed 130 degrees F. With the battery compartment
on the bottom, install the slide-on cover and receiver slide button. Reverse installation of the slide
button if it appears off center.
PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic
equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130 degrees F.
Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT REMOTE RECEIVER DIRECTLY TO 110-120 VAC POWER. THIS WILL BURN OUT THE
REMOTE RECEIVER AND THE ELECTRONIC MODULE. CONSULT GAS APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS AND WIRING SCHEMATICS FOR PROPER PLACEMENT OF ALL WIRES. ALL
ELECTRONIC MODULES ARE TO BE WIRED TO MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS
THE DIAGRAMS THAT FOLLOW ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
FROM MANUFACTURER OF GAS VALVE AND/OR ELECTRONIC MODULE FOR CORRECT WIRING
PROCEDURES. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO
ELETRONIC MODULE. GAS VALVE, AND REMOTE RECEIVER.
A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by
this remote should install this remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections
WILL
cause damage to the gas
valve or electronic module operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote receiver. Attach the two 18
gauge wires provided to the receiver as shown.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES
Installer must connect two 18 gauge wires from the remote receiver to the TH and TH/TP terminals on
the millivolt gas valve. (It does not matter which receiver wires are connected to the designated
terminals listed above.)
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to a wall switch in that both turn the gas valve on and off.
The remote receiver’s input signals come from the ON/OFF buttons on the transmitter.
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS
Connect the neutral wire from the 24VAC transformer to the TR (transformer) terminal on the
ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC transformer to either of the wire
terminals on the remote receiver. Connect another wire (included) between the other receiver wire
terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE.
