INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SINGLE-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

FOR OPERATING HI/LOW SERVO MOTOR

INTRODUCTION

This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating

appliances. The system is operated manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20' range

using non-directional signals. The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the

factory; the remote receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.

Review THERMO SAFETY SECTION under RECEIVER section. This high temperature safety feature shuts

down the appliance when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

TRANSMITTER

This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to

power a DC servo motor such as those used with gas valves used in some

decorative gas logs, gas fireplaces and other gas heating appliances.

The servo motor circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to operate a

servomotor. 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 on a 12V battery (A-23). Before using the transmitter

install the 12-volt battery in the battery compartment.

It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life

and maximum operational performance.

The transmitter has ON/HI and LO/OFF functions that are activated by pressing

either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is

pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being

sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote

receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's design. If the

signal light does not illuminate, check the position of the transmitter's battery.

Requires 4-AA 1.5V alkaline batteries REMOTE RECEIVER IMPORTANT REMOTE LEARN Slide Switch REMOTE OFF OFF The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA-size batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote receiver as a servo motor's power consumption is substantially higher than standard remote control systems.

4. Depending on where the receiver is located it may be necessary to shorten the length of the wires. This can be done by removing the (2) wires from the receiver cutting them to the desired length then reinstalling them into the same connections on the receiver. 5. The receiver can be mounted on the side of a valve kit. NOTE: Always mount the receiver to side of the valve kit away from the fire. IMPORTANT NOTE: Operation of these controls is dependent on which wire is attached to which terminal.

OPERATION 1. 2. 3. 4. This remote control will operate the gas valves servomotor to turn the gas valve from full OFF to full ON. When the ON button is depressed the transmitter is sending a continuos RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a continuous 6 volts of power to the servomotor. The servomotor turns to open the gas flow to the burner then to full ON. When the OFF button is depressed the transmitter is sending a continuos RF signal to the receiver.
