TWO-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SySTEM
FOR ON/OFF-HI/LO OPERATION OF THE AF-4000 GAS CONTROL VALVE

ATTEMPT TO OPERATE
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for use with the AF-4000
gas control valve used with some gas heating appliances. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20’ range using non-
directional signals. The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote
receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.
TRANSMITTER
This remote control TRANSMITTER offers the user a battery-operated hand held control to operate the AF-4000 control module functions
that are used with some decorative gas fireplaces and other gas heating appliances.
The transmitter operates with a 12V battery (Included) made specifically for remote controls
and electronic lighters. Before using the transmitter, install the 12-volt (A-23) battery in the
battery compartment.
It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life and maxi
-
mum operational performance.
The transmitter has ON/OFF and HI/LO functions that are activated by pressing the button
on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed, a signal light on
the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be
a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is
part of the system’s design. If the signal light does not illuminate, check the position of the
transmitter’s battery.
MATCHING SECURITy CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 255 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program
(LEARN FUNCTION) the module 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 module to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide
button on the module is in the REMOTE position; the module will NOT “LEARN” if the slide switch is in the OFF position. Press and re
-
lease the LEARN button on the module to accept the transmitter security code and then pressing any button on the transmitter. A change
in the beeping pattern, at the module, indicates the transmitter’s code has been accepted into the module. When an existing module has
accepted the new transmitter code, the new security code will replace the old one.
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
1. This remote control will operate the AF-4000 gas control valves ON/OFF and flame height HI/LO of the main burner.
2. When the ON button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the module. The module then sends 3 volts of power to the
internal solenoid. The internal solenoid then opens the gas flow to the main burner ON/OFF. The system uses a pulse or continuous
3 volts DC power to operate the flame HI/LO solenoid or flame HI/LOW DC motor drive.
BATTERy LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the RCAF-3 TX can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function. Check and
replace all batteries annually. The transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power.
