INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box (not metal) or placed on or near the
fireplace hearth. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its
electronic components from the heat produced by the gas appliance. The remote receiver should be kept away from
temperatures exceeding 130º F. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to temperatures 130ºF
or higher.
Before installation make sure the remote receiver slide switch is in the OFF position. After installation be sure that the
slide switch is moved to the REMOTE position.
MOUNTING THE REMOTE RECEIVER
When wall mounting the remote receiver, longer wires (not included) are required to connect to the gas valve or electronic
module. These wires must: Be at least 18 Gauge (AWG), no longer than 20-feet and have no splices.
To attach Cover Plate to Receiver Box:
• Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower tab on cover plate inserted into groove of receiver
(Make sure LEARN hole on cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver). Pull receiver up and snap into top tab of
cover plate.
• Position the cover plate so the word ON is facing up; then, install the remote receiver into the plastic switch-box using
the two long screws provided. Push the white button over the receiver slide switch.

The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth
or under the fireplace behind the control access panel.
Use the wires attached to the remote receiver to connect to
the gas valve or the electric module (piggyback connectors
have both male and female terminals for flexibility).
Be sure that the connectors do not touch each other or
other bare metal surfaces; this will cause the appliance to
turn ON. The connectors may be wrapped with electrical
tape to prevent this.
