Install Wall Switch Kit (recommended)

The wall switch is connected to the receiver in the 

fireplace.

Note: 

You must complete the installation of the wall 

switch, connect the battery holder, and test the wall 

switch 

before

 synching the handset to the receiver. See 

your fireplace’s installation instructions for details.

1.  If connected, disconnect the battery holder from the 

receiver.

2.  Decide where the switch is to be installed in the 

wall. Install an electrical outlet box or mud ring as 

required (not supplied).

3.  Thread the switch wire through an access hole in 

the appliance toward the outlet box. The brown end 

stays in the engine, the black end goes out to the 

wall switch.

4.  Pull out the receiver. You can remove the ignition 

wire to improve access to the receiver.

5.  Take the switch wire and plug the brown connector 

into the receiver’s connection slot as indicated (the 

other slot should already be fitted with the valve’s 

wire harness connector). See diagram at right.

IMPORTANT: The connection can only be fitted one 

way. Do not force it or damage the pins!

6.  On the outside of the fireplace, run the switch wire 

into the outlet box. Use insulated type staples to 

secure the wiring to framing.

7.  Plug the black end of the wire into the switch plate 

connector.

8.  Screw the switch plate into the installed outlet box.
9.  Reconnect the ignition wire to the receiver if it was 

previously removed.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the ignition wire DOES NOT 

TOUCH the receiver’s antenna.

10.  Connect the battery holder to the receiver.

IMPORTANT: The connection can 

only be done one way. 

Do not force it or damage the pins 

on the receiver box!

11.  Test the wall switch’s operation — see page 1.
12.  Once operation is confirmed correct, fix the wall 

cover plate to the outlet box.

13.  Replace the receiver in its position, as well as the 

antenna if deployed.
