Installation instructions
Determine location
Determine the location for the wall switch. The chosen
location should provide an accessible location in the
same space as the gas fi replace. Never place this unit in a
separate room. The control wire supplied with this switch
is 33 ft (10M) in length. The distance from the fi replace
to the switch may be lengthened provided that the wire
used never exceeds 50 ft, and that the distance from the
fi replace to the switch never exceeds 30 ft.
The switch should be mounted into a listed electrical
junction box. The junction box should be dedicated to this
wall switch. Never install this wall switch into a junction box
that is shared with other electrical service or devices. If
possible, install this unit on an interior wall of the residence
at a recommended height of 5 ft from the fl ooring. Should
the switch be installed on an exterior wall, be certain wall
insulation is kept intact and not damaged or dislodged
during the installation of the electrical junction box.
For exterior wall installations, it is recommended that the
junction box be sealed with caulking material. This will
minimize heat loss through this location and improve the
accuracy of the automatic (thermostat) operation.

Wiring the wall switch
Once a location is chosen and the electrical box is
installed proceed as follows. Install the provided control
wire from the fi replace to the switch location. Use
caution not to stress the wire around tight or sharp
corners. Do not run the control wire adjacent to existing
or future phone, data, cable, or electrical lines. The
wire should not come into contact with any part of the
fi replace exterior with the exception of where it exits the
outer wrap. Feed the wire to the electrical junction box
and through a provided or approved strain relief. Using a
screw driver, connect the red wire to the “R” terminal, the
yellow or white wire to the “W” or “Y” terminal, and the
green wire to the “G” terminal. Do not over-tighten. Using
the screws provided, mount the switch to the electrical
junction box right side up. Install provided cover plate
using the screws provided. Do not use a substitute cover
even though it may fi t. The provided one is specifi cally
designed for the automatic (thermostat) function of the
unit.
Operating Instructions
For units WITH factory installed rocker switch.
The ON/OFF rocker switch on the fi replace (located near
the gas valve) must be in the “OFF” position for use with
the WSK-MLT system. The ON/OFF rocker switch will
NOT function with this device on Intellifi re (IPI) models
except during a power outage.

NOTE: The temperature displayed by the wall switch may
take up to 30 minutes to stabilize on initial power-up.
NOTE: Check control box and assure switch is in the “OFF”
position. This switch is only used on Intellifi re (IPI) control
systems under battery operation.
