Thermostats are not approved on vented decorated appliances.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing.
VSR gas valve does not require 24 or 110 volts. See Figure 10 to
provide optional wall switch or remote control. Maximum length
of 20 feet of 16 AWG to conductor wires is to be used with all
optional switches.
Use the two leads (black wires) from ON/OFF switch to attach
optional components.
Check System Operation
Millivolt system and all individual components may be checked
with a millivolt meter 0-1000 MV range.
750 Millivolt System
When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas
control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame
to operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn
the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position.
This time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to
buildup to a sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate
properly.
Millivolt Control
The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which should
be checked at the pressure test point. Turn captured screw counter
clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge
over test point (Use test point “A” closest to control knob). After
taking pressure reading, be sure and turn captured screw
clockwise firmly to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas
leaks.
Remote Receiver -VSR-(18, 24, 30)
Use the following steps to place the remote receiver adjacent to
the gas valve.
Attention:
1. The remote receiver can not be placed behind the gas valve
and burner assembly.
2. When facing the appliance, the remote receiver must be placed
in the right side firebox, toward the front.
Note: Do not let remote control receiver come in contact with
burner assembly.
Refer to remote control installation and operating instructions for
more details on remote control.

VSR
Note: (Wiring harness located in envelope)
Connect the 2 - 1/4" terminals onto the TH and TH/TP terminals
on valve. Place decorative log to right of the gas valve and burner
assembly. When connecting to remote receiver, cut off 1/4"
terminals from wires attached to ON/OFF switch. Strip wires
back about 1/4". Connect stripped ends into remote receiver.
WIRING
CLEANING AND SERVICING
Keep the control compartment, logs and burner area surrounding
the logs clean.
THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT— HANDLE ONLY
WHEN COOL.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep
the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.
Inspecting Venting System
A vented fireplace venting system is designed and constructed to
develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the
outside atmosphere.
Any foreign objects in the venting system, may cause spillage of
the flue gases into the room.
Periodic examination and/or cleaning of the venting system of the
solid-fuel burning fireplace must be done by a qualified service
person. Visually inspect the damper and flue area for excessive
soot build-up. This soot (carbon) may be removed by brushing
with a soft bristle brush.
