No voltage output from
Durablow remote
control receiver box
when control is ON.
The remote control receiver box does NOT
output a micro-volt voltage by itself (for no
danger of gas leakage). It passes or
no-pass the voltage that is generated by
thermopile (heated by pilot fire).
1. Turn ON the pilot fire.
2. Reconnect thermopile leads.
3. Replace thermopile.
4. Switch the receiver box to
“REMOTE” mode.
5. Allow more time to have thermopile
heated to generate voltage.

function.
1. No battery or battery is low.
2. Weak signal. Receiver is obstructed or
covered by metal objects / housing.
