slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety "lock out"
by both turning the system OFF and rendering the transmitter
inoperative.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT REMOTE RECEIVER DIRECTLY TO 110-120VAC POWER. THIS WILL BURN OUT THE
RECEIVER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM MANUFACTURER OF GAS VALVE FOR CORRECT WIRING
PROCEDURES. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO
GAS VALVE AND REMOTE RECEIVER.
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like
any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the receiver case.
Battery life is also significantly 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 stranded or solid wires (not included) are used
to make connections. For best results, use 18 gauge stranded or solid wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the control access
panel. Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case does not exceed 130º F.
NOTE: Black Button is used on Hearth Mount Applications.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
This remote receiver can be connected to either a manual valve
with a SERVO MOTOR or manual valves with a latching relay
that operates OFF/ON with a pulse signal. (See Figure #1).
Connect two 18 gauge stranded or solid wires from the remote
receiver (See figure to the right) terminals to the servo motor or
pulse solenoid.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Operation of these controls is dependent
on which wire is attached to which terminal. If operation of
control does not correspond to operating buttons on transmitter,
reverse wire installation at the receiver or at the control.
NOTE: Up to 6 VDC of power is provided at the receiver
terminal.
THERMO-SAFETY FEATURE - RECEIVER (T/S - RX)
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130°F, the THERMISTOR will automatically send 10
seconds of power to the down or off terminal on the valve to shut the fireplace system down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of
4 "beeps" every 2 seconds. When the ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120° F and 130° F, the user can reactivate the
fireplace by pushing either button on the transmitter. When any transmitter button is pressed, the THERMISTOR "resets" itself and the
fireplace will begin operating again. However, the "beeping" will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between 120° F and 130° F.
This "beeping" alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120° F.
When the temperature drops below 120° F, the "beeping" will cease, providing the user has "reset" the THERMISTOR by pushing either
transmitter button to operate the fireplace. Allow sufficient time for receiver to cool below 120° F, and then press transmitter button to stop
beeping.
