WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION

The installation of a wall switch allows you to activate the gas control valve without the normal household electricity since the valve operates on millivolt current supplied by the heat generated by the thermopile. To install the wall switch:

1.Remove the front refractory access panel by lifting up and an- gling out of the firebox opening (see Figure 13).

2.Use wire and connectors provided. Attach red wire to terminal marked TH/TP on control valve. Attach white wire to blade connector on open end of safety circuit wiring (see Wiring Diagram, page 20).

Note: If any of the original wire from the unit control must be replaced, use the same type or a higher rated wire (25 ft. maximum length).

OPTIONAL WIRELESS HAND-HELD REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION

Note: If using optional wireless hand-held remote control, the wall switch is no longer operational.

Installing Receiver

1.Remove the front refractory access panel by lifting up and angling out of the firebox opening (see Figure 13) to expose controls.

2.Disconnect wall switch wires from TH and TH/TP terminals on control valve (see Figure 14).

3.Install remote receiver unit onto mounting bracket using the two plastic mounting clips (see Figure 15).

WARNING: Do not wire remote wall switch to main power supply (Standard 120v household current).

4.Locate wall switch in a convenient location.

5.After wire connections are complete, replace refractory access panel.
