INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SINGLE-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR OPERATING VALVES WITH
HI/LO DC MOTOR DRIVE
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for the AFLMF valve kit.
The system is operated manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot 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 SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to
power an ON/OFF latching solenoid such as the one used with the AFLMF valve
kit.
The circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to operate a HI/LO DC motor
drive
.
The circuit has reversing polarity software that reverses the positive (+)
and negative (-) output of the receiver's battery power to operate the DC motor
drive (ON/HI-LO-OFF FLAME). The SYSTEM is controlled by the remote
transmitter.
The transmitter operates on a 12V battery 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 maximum operational performance.
The transmitter has ON/HI, LO and OFF 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.
INSTALLING THE HI/LO DC MOTOR DRIVE
NOTE: The AFLMF valve kit comes with a brass cap fitting that must be removed before the HI/LO DC motor drive can be installed.
Under this brass cap fitting there is a unique safety seal that prevents gas leakage after the brass cap fitting has been removed. This
allows the brass cap fitting to be removed and the HI/LO DC motor drive to be installed with out shutting off the main gas valve that
supplies gas to the AFLMF valve kit.
1.
Remove the (2) screws from the front metal faceplate then remove the faceplate on the AFLMF valve kit and set aside.
2.
Using a screwdriver remove the brass cap fitting. Note Figure 1 (Retain the brass cap fitting so if the DC motor drive is
removed the brass cap fitting can be reinstalled)
3.
Install the HI/LO DC motor drive into the threaded hole on the AFLMF that the brass cap fitting was removed from and
screw into place and do not over tighten. NOTE: Figure 2
