INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth.
Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic
components from both the heat produced by the gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left
exposed on the hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic
equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130° 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. It is recommended that 18-gauge solid or stranded wires
(included) be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module
and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18-gauge solid or stranded wire, with no splices
and measuring no longer than 20-feet.
WALL MOUNTING
Install (4) AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should
be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are
tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output
voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
To attach Cover Plate to Receiver box.
Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left
with lower tab on cover plate inserted into groove

Position the cover plate so the word ON is facing
up; then, install the remote receiver into the plastic
switch box using the two long screws provided.
Push the White Button over the receiver slide
