Read this manual thoroughly prior to installing, programming
or operating this remote control.
This remote control system is designed for use with a 6 VDC
servo motor or solenoid gas valve system (Maxitrol Gas
Valve).
This remote control system requires three (3) "AAA" and four
(4) "AA" alkaline batteries to power the transmitter and
receiver. Wiring must conform to appliance requirements 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.
WARNING
This hi/lo remote control system provides a safe, reliable, and
user-friendly remote control to power up to a 6 VDC servo motor
or solenoid gas valve system (Maxitrol Gas Valve). Always check
the appliance home owner’s manual for additional information, or
warnings regarding accessory installation before connecting this
remote control system.
WARNING
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
Thermostatic HI/LO Remote Control
Due to the sensitive temperature monitoring
components in the transmitter, it is necessary to
allow the transmitter to stabilize to room
temperature before accurate room temperatures
are displayed. If the transmitter is activated from
a severe cold condition, allow 15 minutes for
accurate temperature readings to appear on the
LCD.
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.
Low battery power in the transmitter or receiver
can affect the operation of the remote control in
the AUTO mode. In some cases the unit may not
cycle off when the target temperature is reached.
For applications longer than 18 inches, use 18 gauge wire, 105ºC
rated, with no splices. Connect to the the 1/4", 3/16", and two (2)
1/8" female spade wiring terminals. Wire can be no longer than
20 feet.
WARNING
RCTHL
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.
