Turn appliance OFF and allow to cool before
installing or servicing. DO NOT connect
110-120 VAC wiring to the milli-volt gas control
valve. The remote operator must be installed
exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all
instructions completely before attempting
installation. Follow instructions carefully during
installation. Any modification of components will
void the warranty and may cause a fire hazard.

cycle off when the target temperature is reached.
INSTALLATIONS
•
•
•
•
Read this manual thoroughly prior to installing, programming
or operating any remote control.
This remote control system is designed for use with a
millivolt gas valve system. Do not use this remote control
system on applications with voltages above 30 Volts AC.
This remote control system requires three (3) "AAA" batteries
to power the transmitter and 110 VAC to power the receiver.
Wiring must conform to appliance requirement and building
codes/ordinances as required by local and national code
authorities having jurisdiction.
Do not short (or jumper) across the gas valve terminals to test
the remote control installation. This could damage the unit
and void the warranty.
This remote control system should only be used as described
in this manual. Any other use is not recommended and will
void the warranty.
Make sure that the wires do not contact the
appliances any place other than at the terminals.
Exposure to temperatures higher than 105C
(250ºF) may cause the receiver to malfunction or
fire hazard.
Remote Transmitter:
The remote transmitter uses three
(3) "AAA"- size batteries. To
install batteries,
1.Press down the battery door tab
and lift up and remove the battery
door.
2.Install the batteries as indicated in
the receiver cover.
3.Close the battery door by
snapping in place.
4.The batteries should be replaced
at least once every 6 months or
when the battery indicator flashes.

General:
The RCTE Remote Control has four (4 ) operating modes: Manual, Timer, Auto, and Auto-P.
The control system can be set to temperature
ranges between 45∞F and 90∞F.
The transmitter will operate the remote receiver
from 1foot to a maximum of 30 feet. The distance is reduced when batteries are low or when
the receiver is inside a metal enclosure.
1.After initial power up or when RESET button is pressed, the
transmitter is reset. The reset button is located inside the battery
door.
Back of the Transmitter
The remote receiver may be wall mounted or installed into the
appliance per the appliance homeowner’s manual. Refer to the
Homeowner’s Manual for special installation instructions. If
wall mounted, the remote receiver must be installed in a junction
box with cover plate provided. Failure to follow the installation
instructions found in the appropriate Homeowner’s Manual will
void the warranty and may cause a fire hazard.
The remote receiver and transmitter privacy (DIP) switches are
preset at the factory. Do not set all DIP switches to "OFF" position or "ON" position. The receiver and transmitter privacy (DIP)
swithes are preset at the factory. In the event of activation or
interference from other nearby transmissions, reset the code using
the following procedure:
1.Slide the code switches on the transmitter or receiver to your
choice of ON or OFF position. Switches #1 to #6 are preset to
"ON", and #7 is preset to "OFF" on both the transmitter and
receiver.
2.The switches on the transmitter and receiver must match in
order for the system to work.
3. The system is now ready to operate.
