WARNING
This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely before
attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modifications of this remote control or any of its
components will void the warranty and may pose a fire hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions and
wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s specifications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or electronic
module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve
and remote receiver.
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 ensure that the slide switch is
moved to the
REMOTE
position.
WALL MOUNT
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), and 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 &
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.
