Wiring

Thermostats are not approved on vented decorative appliances.

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

The millivolt gas valve does not require 24 or 110 volts. The gas valve is powered by the thermopile. See Figure 16 to provide optional wall switch, thermostat, or remote control. Maximum length of 20 feet of 16 AWG to conductor wires is to be used with all optional switches.

Use the red and green leads from the rocker switch that are wire nutted together to attach optional components.

Check System Operation

Millivolt system and all individual components may be checked with a millivolt meter 0-1000 MV range.

Remote Receiver -VFSUR-(18, 24, 30)

Use the following steps to place the remote receiver adjacent to the gas valve.

Attention:

1.The remote receiver can not be placed behind the gas valve and burner assembly.

2.When facing the appliance, the remote receiver must be placed to the right of the gas valve and burner assembly.

Note: Do not let remote control receiver come in contact with burner assembly.

On circulating vent-free firebox, install remote control receiver behind bottom louver.

Refer to remote control installation and operating instructions for more details on remote control.

750 Millivolt System

When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts (electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to buildup to a sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.

Millivolt Control

The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which should be checked at the pressure test point. Turn captured screw counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge over test point (Use test point “out” closest to control knob). After taking pressure reading, be sure and turn captured screw clockwise firmly to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas leaks.
