WARNING
Important Safety Information
• 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” and four (4) “AA” alkaline batteries to power the
transmitter and 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.
NOTE
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.
WARNING
Turn appliance OFF and allow to cool before installing or servicing. DO NOT connect
110-120 VAC wiring directly 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.
WARNING
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.

INSTALLATIONS
Remote Receiver:
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.
Installing Batteries:
The remote receiver uses four (4) “AA”- size batteries. To install batteries,
1. Remove the slide switch by gently pulling straight out.
2. Use your thumb and index finger to gently pull down the L-bracket.
3. Open the battery door by pressing the two tabs located on the door.
4. Install the batteries as indicated in the receiver cover.
5. Close the battery door until the door tab snaps in place.
6. To install the receiver into a wall junction box, install the receiver with the
screws provided .
7. If you decided to install the receiver into the appliance, reinstall the L-
bracket..
8. Gently, install the slide switch back to the receiver stem.
9. The batteries should be replaced at least once every 6 months or when the
battery indicator flashes.
Installing Wire:
This system comes with an 18 inch pre-assembled wire assembly. Insert the white
terminal to the back of the receiver. The terminal wire block can only be installed
one way. Do not force the terminal plug onto the receiver.
Follow the homeowner’s manual for connecting the two (2) 1/4” female spade terminals to the millivolt valve.
For applications longer than 18 inches, use 18 gauge wire, 105ºC rated, with as few splices as possible. Connect to
the two (2) 1/4“ female spade wiring terminals. Wire can be no longer than 20 feet.
WARNING
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.
