WARNING
Important Safety Information
• Read this manual thoroughly prior to installing, programming
or operating any remote control.
• This remote control system is designed for use with a milli
volt gas valve system. Do not use this remote control system
on applications with voltages above 24 Volts DC and 1 amp
current.
• This remote control system requires two (2) "AA" alkaline
batteries for the transmitter and four (4) "AA" alkaline
batteries for the receiver.
• Wiring must conform to appliance requirement and building
codes/ordinances as required by local and national code
authorities having jurisdiction.
• Do not short (or jumper) across the gas valve terminals to test
the remote control installation. This could damage the unit
and void the warranty.
• This remote control system should only be used as described
in this manual. Any other use is not recommended and will
void the warranty.
Due to the sensitive temperature monitoring
components in the transmitter, it is necessary to
allow the transmitter to stabilize to room
temperature before accurate room temperatures
are displayed. If the transmitter is activated from
a severe cold condition, allow 15 minutes for
accurate temperature readings to appear on the
LCD.
Turn appliance OFF and allow to cool before
installing or servicing. DO NOT connect
110-120 VAC wiring to the milli-volt gas control
valve. The remote operator must be installed
exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all
instructions completely before attempting
installation. Follow instructions carefully during
installation. Any modification of components will
void the warranty and may cause a fire hazard.
Turn appliance OFF (at the appliance or remote
receiver) if you are away from your house for a
long period of time. Never leave anything on top
of the surface on the touch light transmitter.

when the battery indicator
flashes.
Connecting the Receiver to your appliance:
This system comes with an 18 inch wire assembly. Insert the
white terminal to the back of the receiver. The terminal wire
block can only be installed one way. Do not force the terminal
plug onto the receiver.
Connect the wiring terminal two (2) 1/4" female spade terminals
to the appliance. Refer to the appropriate Homeowner’s Manual
for proper wiring connections to the appliance. Your appliance
may have other options to connect wiring from receiver. For
applications longer than 18 inches, use 18 gauge wire, 105ºC
rated, with no splices. Connect to the two (2) 1/4" female spade
wiring terminals. Wire can be no longer than 20 feet.
Make sure that the wires do not contact the
appliances any place other than at the terminals.
Exposure to temperatures higher than 105ºC
