The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system
operation. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF
• With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain ON until the slide switch is
placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives
commands from the transmitter.
• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the system is OFF.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the OFF position if you will be away from your home for an extended
period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position
also functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system OFF and rendering the remote receiver inoperative.
RECEIVER CONTINUED
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the replace
hearth. 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 remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130° F inside the receiver case.
Battery life is also signicantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures. Make sure the remote receiver
switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18 gauge solid or stranded wires 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 best results, use 18-gauge solid or stranded wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20-feet.
WALL MOUNT OPTION
Install (4) AA-size 1.5 volt ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries
should be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the
electronics are tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 total volts. Four (4) new AA batteries should
provide a total output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct
direction.

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 the 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 upward; 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 only after making sure the remote
receiver has LEARNED the transmitter’s security code (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER section).
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the receiver is in the
REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING
TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver for proper installation.
