WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified 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 connections 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 receiver 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
remote 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.
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS
The remote control receiver can be connected, in series, to a 24VAC transformer to the TR
(transformer) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC
transformer to either of the wire terminals on the remote receiver. Connect another wire (not
included) between the other receiver wire terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the
ELECTRONIC MODULE.
SYSTEM CHECK
MILLIVOLT VALVES
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be in
operation for the main gas valve to operate.
•
Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should ignite.
• Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).
• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the ON button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The
main gas flame should ignite.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS
•
Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot
(the pilot may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame
should ignite.
• Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the ON button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The
spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas
flame should ignite.
GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 65,536 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the
security code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer
or the factory. When matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT
“LEARN” if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by pushing in the
LEARN button on the top of the remote receiver and then pressing the MODE button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping
pattern, at the receiver, indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched
to a new transmitter, the new security code will override the old one.
