INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The remote receiver can be
Wall Mounted
into a standard plastic switch box or
(Hearth Mounted
)
placed on or near the
fireplace hearth. Determine where you will install the receiver before proceeding. 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 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.
When installing the receiver into a switch box away from the appliance ensure the receiver switch is in the
OFF
position
before installing. The receiver comes standard with 18-inches of wire if additional wire is needed it is recommended that
18-gage stranded or solid wires (not 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-gage
stranded or solid wire, splice into the black wires of the receiver or remove the black wires and install wires directly to the
receiver. Be sure no splices measure longer than 20-feet and allow ample wire to remove the receiver for annual battery
replacement.
WALL MOUNTING
First,
install (4) AA-size 1.5
ALKALINE
batteries in the remote receiver (Fig 11). For best performance, remote receiver
batteries should be factory fresh when installed. The system operates best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts.
Four (4) 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.
Next
, attach wall mount cover plate to receiver box (Fig. 12):
Position the receiver as shown in the diagram to the left with lower tab on wall mount cover plate inserted into groove of
receiver. Move the receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
Position the cover plate so the word
ON
is facing up (Fig. 13); then, install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box
using the two long screws provided. Push the slide button over the receiver slide switch only after making sure the remote
receiver has LEARNED the transmitter’s security code (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER).
