The remote receiver is powered by 110-120VAC. It plugs into a standard polarized duplex receptacle.

Locating Receiver and Operating Functions

This remote receiver can be positioned under the firebox in the control compartment of the fireplace if ambient temperatures do not exceed 170º F. This system is de- signed to control the following components:

		Wire Colors
•	Gas Valve - Millivolt or
	Electronic Ignition	Red
• Fan/Blower - 110 VAC		Plug from Fan
•	Flame Controller - HI/LO solenoid	Orange

RECEIVER WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Incorrect wiring connections WILL cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module operating the gas appli- ance and may also damage the remote receiver.
