INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The remote receiver can be Wall Mounted into a standard plastic switch box or (Hearth Mounted) placed on or near the

replace hearth. Determine where you will install the receiver before proceeding. Preferably, 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. PROTECTION FROM

EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment the receiver should be kept away from

temperatures exceeding 130°F inside the receiver case. Battery life is also signicantly shortened if batteries are exposed

to high temperatures.

When installing the receiver into a switch box away from the appliance ensure the receiver switch is in the OFF position

before installing. The receiver comes standard with 18-inches of wire if additional wire is needed it is recommended that

18 gauge stranded or solid 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

stranded or solid wire, splice into the black wires of the receiver or remove the black wires and install wires directly to the

receiver. Be sure no splices measure longer than 20-feet and allow ample wire to remove the receiver for annual battery

replacement.

WALL MOUNTING

First, install (4) AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver (Fig 11). For best performance, remote receiver

batteries should be factory fresh when installed. The system operates best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts.

Four (4) new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the

(+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.

Next, attach wall mount cover plate to receiver box (Fig. 12):

Position the receiver as shown in the diagram to the left with lower tab on wall mount cover plate inserted into groove of

receiver. Move the receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.

Position the cover plate so the word ON is facing up (Fig. 13); then, install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box

using the two long screws provided. Push the slide button over the receiver slide switch only after making sure the remote

receiver has LEARNED the transmitter’s security code (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER).
