There may be a slight delay in the response of the unit (on/off) to a temperature setting as room
temperature is monitored every 3 minutes.
Operational note: To conserve battery power, the remote
monitored room temperature every 3 minutes and
transmit the RF signal to Receiver.
SETTING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER:
This remote control system can operate with a built-in countdown timer when the transmitter is in the ON or
THERMO modes (THERMO or ON must be displayed on the screen).
1. Touch the word TIMER on the LCD screen of the transmitter for more than two
seconds. The minimum 0:15 minute setting on the will begin to flash.
2. Press the UP or DOWN button to begin advancing through each of the countdown time
options. Available countdown times are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 1:30
minutes, 2 hours, 2:30 minutes, and each additional half-hour up to nine hours.
3. Press the MODE/SET button do the Timer setting, if the system is ON. It will remain
on until the time has expired. If the system is in the THERMO mode, it will cycle on and
off, as the room temperature requires until the “time” has expired.
OPERATIONAL NOTE: When the timer is used in the THERMO mode, the THERMO operation will
discontinue when the “time” has expired. System will return to the OFF position.

the “MODE/SET” and “UP” buttons at same time for 5 seconds again to exit
child-proof mode.
Transmitter Wall Bracket
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the Wall Bracket provided. If the Wall Bracket is installed on a
solid wood wall, drill 1/8” pilot holes and install with the screws provided. If it is installed on a laster/wallboard
wall, first drill two 1/4” holes into the wall. Then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors flush with
the wall; then install the screws provided.
TRANSMITTER
The remote control operates, on RF (radio frequency) signals that are sent by the TRANSMITTER (remote) to
the RECEIVER that operates the appliance. It is recommended that the TRANSMITTER always be located
within the 30-foot operating range, preferably in the same room in which the appliance is located.
WAR
NING
Make sure that the wires do not contact the appliances any place other than at the terminals.
Exposure to temperatures higher than 250℉(105℃) may cause the receiver to malfunction or
cause a fire hazard.
Receiver:
Begin by installing (4) AA-size batteries. Slide open the battery cover on
receiver. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for
this product. Be sure the batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends
facing the correct direction. Close battery cover
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the
3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE
position. The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to
commands from the transmitter to control system operation

FUNCTIONS
:
1) with the slide switch in the”
ON
” position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain ON
until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
2) with the slide switch in the”
REMOTE
” position (centered), the system will only operate if the
remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
3) with the slide switch in the”
OFF
” position (away from the LEARN button), the system is OFF.
It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the OFF position if you will be away from your home for
an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide
switch in the OFF position
Also functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off and rendering the remote receiver
inoperative
Installation
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box (not metal) or placed on or near
the fireplace hearth. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will
protect its electronic components from the heat produced by the gas appliance. The remote receiver should be
kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are
exposed to temperatures 130ºF or higher. Before installation make sure the remote receiver slide switch is in the
OFF position.
Wall Mounting
When wall mounting the remote receiver, longer wires (not included) are required to connect to the gas valve or
electronic module. These wires must: Be at least 18 Gauge (AWG) • Be no longer than 20’ • Have no splices
To attach wall cover plate to receiver box:
1. Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the right with lower tab on wall cover
Plate into groove of receiver (Make sure the LEARN hole on cover plate properly
Aligns with remote receiver)
2. Pull receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
3. Position the wall cover plate so the word ON is facing up.
4. Install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using the two
Long screws provided. Push the slide Button over the receiver slide
Wall plate Receiver
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter
when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the
REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery
transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO
RECEIVER, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver
.
Cover plate Plastic switch box
Hearth Mount
The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the control access panel.
Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case does not exceed 130 ℉.
NOTE: Black Slide Button is used for Hearth Mount applications.

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 stranded or solid 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 and TH/TP 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 between the
other receiver wire terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE.
Slide Switch
:
1. ON position: the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
2. REMOTE position: the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives a signal from the transmitter.
3. OFF position: the system is off. The slide switch should be placed in the OFF position if you will be
away for an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, the OFF
position also functions as a safety device by both turning the system off and rendering the receiver inoperable.

Testing Your New Remote System
1. Light your gas appliance following the appliance lighting instructions that come with the appliance. Confirm
that the pilot light is on; it must be in operation for the remote control to operate the main gas valve. Appliance
control knob must be in the ON position. Appliance ON/OFF switch must be in ON position.
2. Slide the 3 position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame should ignite.
3. Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot light will remain on).
4. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the transmitter to turn the system to ON. The
main gas flame should ignite.
5.
Press the transmitter to turn the system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot light will remain on).
