FRBC - MILLIVOLT CONTROL SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Thisremotecontrolsystemmustbeinstalledexactlyasoutlined
intheseinstructions.Readallinstructionscompletelybeforeat-
tempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during instal-
lation.AnymodicationsoftheECSremotecontroloranyofits
componentswillvoidthewarrantandmaybeposearehazard.
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.Allelectronicmodulesaretobewiredtomanufacturer’s
specications.
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
plasticswitchboxorplacedonornearthereplacehearth.Pref-
erably, 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.PROTEC-
TION 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signicantlyshortenedifbatteriesareex-
posed to high temperatures.
MakesuretheremotereceiverswitchisintheOFFposition.Itis
recommended that 18 gauge solid or stranded wires (not included)
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thebestresults,use18gaugesolidor
stranded wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Aqualiedelectricianoragastechnicianwhoisfamiliarwiththe
gasapplianceandgasvalvesthatwillbeoperatedbythisremote
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)terminalsontheterminalblockonthemillivolt
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
inthatbothturnthegasvalveonandoffbasedoninputsignals.
Athermostat’sinputsignalsaredifferenttemperatures.There-
motereceiver’sinputsignalscomefromthetransmitter.
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.
