Remote Control Operation (cont.)
Functions:
• When the slide switch is in the REMOTE position, the system only operates if the receiver can receive
commands from the remote/transmitter.
•
When first used or after extended disuse, the “ON” button may have to be pressed for up to three (3) seconds
before the valve is activated. On first use the system does not respond to the remote/transmitter, see
LEARNING THE REMOTE/TRANSMITTER TO THE RECEIVER on page 26.
• The system can be manually turned on when the slide switch is in the ON position.
• The system is off when the slide switch is in the OFF position.
• If you’ll be away from the heater and/or your home for an extended period, we recommend keeping the slide
switch in the OFF position.
• When the slide switch is in the OFF position, it also functions as a safety "lock out." This feature turns the
system OFF and prevents the remote/transmitter from operating.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation:
You can mount the receiver on or near the fireplace hearth. ALWAYS PROTECT THE RECEIVER FROM
EXTREME HEAT. Keep the receiver away from temperatures over 130º F inside the receiver case. Extreme
temperatures also shorten battery life.
You can place the receiver on the fireplace hearth or
behind the fireplace control access panel. The
receiver must be placed so that the temperature
inside the receiver case does not exceed 130º F.
Wiring Instructions:
Ensure the receiver switch is in the OFF position. Use of
18-gauge stranded wires to make connections is
recommended. Wires should not exceed 20 feet.
Connect the receiver to a manual valve with a latching
ON/OFF solenoid. Connect two 18-gauge stranded or
solid wires from the remote receiver terminals to the
latching solenoid (see Fig. 31 & 32).
NOTE: The operation of the controls depends on the
way the wires are attached to the terminal. If the
controls do not correspond to the operating buttons on
the remote/transmitter, reverse the wire installation at
the receiver or at the controls.
NOTE: Up to 6.3 VDC of power is provided at the receiver terminal.
Do not connect the remote receiver directly to 110–120VAC power because this
will burn out the receiver. Follow instructions for correct wiring procedure.
Installing electrical components incorrectly may cause damage to remote receiver and/or gas valve.
