CONNECTING THE REMOTE CONTROL ON AF-LMF-R & AF-LMF-RVS VALVE KITS
1. The remote control receiver is to be placed next to the valve kit, away from the fire. See Fig 9.
2. Remove receiver shield and battery cover then install (4) AA alkaline batteries shown in Fig. 11. Reinstall receiver shield.
3. Connect the red and black wires from the ON/OFF latching solenoid or motor drive on the valve to the red and black wires from the
remote receiv er for AF-LMF-R and AF-LMF-RV (Fig. 10). If installing the AF-LMF-RVS connect the 4-pin connector from the step
motor to the remote receiver (Fig 12).
4. Refer to the instructions supplied with the remote control for operation of the remote control.
Note: If you installed a manual gas valve ONLY (without a transmitter and remote receiver) then, disregard the

Ensure batteries are installed into the transmitter. Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It may be necessary to
press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced or
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 is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the
ON or OFF position. The LEARN button is located on the front of the receiver inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using
a small screwdriver gently push the black LEARN button inside the hole and release. When you release the LEARN button
the receiver will emit a “beep”. After the receiver emits a “beep” press the transmitter ON button and release. The receiver
will emit several rapid “beeps” indicating the transmitters code has been accepted into the receiver.
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Note:
The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when
the 3-position slide switch is in the REMOTE position. The remote
receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from
the transmitter to control the system operation.
