INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MULTI-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR OPERATING SERVO MOTOR VALVE, MANUALLY AND WITH A THERMOSTAT FUNCTION
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliances. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot range using non-directional signals. The system operates
on one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver's code must be
matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.
TRANSMITTER
This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to
power up to a 6 VDC servo motor or solenoid such as those used with gas valves
used in some heater rated gas logs, gas fireplaces and other gas heating
appliances.
The servo motor or solenoid circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to
operate a servo motor or solenoid. The circuit has reversing polarity software
which reverses the positive (+) and negative (-) output of the receiver's battery
power to drive the servo motor forward/backward. (HI/LO FLAME) The SYSTEM
is controlled by the remote transmitter.
The transmitter operates with two (2) 1.5V AAA batteries.
It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life
and maximum operational performance.
Before using the transmitter, install the (2) AAA transmitter batteries into the
battery compartment. (Use caution that batteries are installed in the proper
direction)
