intheseinstructions.Readallinstructionscompletelybeforeat-
tempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during instal-
lation.AnymodicationsoftheECSremotecontroloranyofits

Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to
110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s in-
structions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all
wires.Allelectronicmodulesaretobewiredtomanufacturer’s
specications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only.
Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or elec-
tronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper instal-
lation of electric components can cause damage to electronic
module, gas valve and remote receiver.
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard
plasticswitchboxorplacedonornearthereplacehearth.Pref-
erably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic
switchbox,asthiswillprotectitselectroniccomponentsfromboth

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Aqualiedelectricianoragastechnicianwhoisfamiliarwiththe
gasapplianceandgasvalvesthatwillbeoperatedbythisremote
should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connec-
tions WILL cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module
operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote
receiver.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES
The remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the
TH(thermostat)terminalsontheterminalblockonthemillivolt
gas valve.
Connect 18 gauge solid or stranded wires from the remote re-
ceiver to the gas valve.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat

Athermostat’sinputsignalsaredifferenttemperatures.There-
motereceiver’sinputsignalscomefromthetransmitter.
Connect each of the two wires leading from the TH terminals on
the millivolt gas valve to either of the two wire terminals on the
remote receiver. Normally it does not matter which wires go to
which terminal.
