REMOTE RECEIVER

Important: The remote receiver should be positioned close to front in right or left corner where ambient temperatures do not exceed 170º F.

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.

Wiring Flame Function (Standing Pilot, DSI, IPI)

Connect the remote receiver by connecting the two red wires leading from the remote receiver to the red and brown remote wires labeled “FOR USE WITH REMOTE OR WALL SWITCH ONLY”. See Figure 2.

Alternative Wiring for units with a wall switch

Disconnect the wall switch wire from the TH terminal on the valve and connect this wire to male connector sup- plied on the receiver. Connect remaining female connec- tor from receiver to the TH terminal on the valve.

Adding Optional Fan/Blower

Plug 2-prong fan cord directly into the 3 prong polarized plug on the back of the receiver (see Figure 3). This receptacle output is 110/120 VAC, 3 AMP.
