WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO A VALVE WITH THE LATCHING SOLENOID
1. Connect the BLACK 18 gage stranded wire with the 1/4’ female terminal from the receiver to the BLACK wire with the 1/4” male
terminals from the valve solenoid.
2. Connect the RED 18 gage stranded wire with the 1/4’ female terminal from the receiver to the RED wire with the 1/4” male terminals
from the valve solenoid.
3. After receiver wires are connected to the valve solenoid wire make sure the receiver shield is located over the receiver and then
locate the receiver in an area that will not exceed the 130° F.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Operation of these controls is dependent on which wire is attached to which terminal. If operation of control
does not correspond to operating buttons on transmitter, reverse wire installation at the receiver or at the control.
NOTE
: Up to 6.3 VDC of power is provided at the receiver terminal.
GENERAL INFORMATION
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter
security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In
order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the
receiver will
not
LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver;
inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver or end of a paperclip gently
Press and Release
the black LEARN
button inside the hole. When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”. After the receiver emits the beep
press ANY transmitter button and release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has been
accepted into the receiver.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in
matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again--this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its
timer circuitry--and try up to two or three more times.
OPERATION
4. This remote control will operate the gas valves latching solenoid to open the gas flow to full ON.
5. When the ON button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a
pulse of 6-volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then opens the gas flow to the burner then to full ON.
6. When the OFF button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a
pulse of 6-volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then closes the gas flow to the burner then to full OFF.
7. 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 Latching Solenoid (ON/OFF) will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the TM/R-AF1 can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function. Replace
all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (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 2.4 volts battery power.
NOTE
: Extensive use of the Solenoid will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
