Hearth and Home Technologies WSK200, WSK210, WSK100 Installation Instructions, Determine Location

1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Determine Location

Determine the location for the wall switch. The selected location should be in the same space as the gas fireplace. Never place this unit in a separate room. The distance from the fireplace to the switch may be up to 50 ft.

The switch should be mounted into a UL-listed electrical junction box. The junction box should be dedicated to this wall switch. Never install this wall switch into a junction box that is shared with other electrical service or devices. If possible, install this unit on an interior wall of the residence at a recommended height of 5 ft from the flooring.

Should the switch be installed on an exterior wall, be certain wall insulation is kept intact and not damaged or dislodged during the installation of the electrical junction box. For exterior wall installations, it is recommended that the junction box be sealed with caulking material. This will minimize heat loss through this location.

1.2Wiring the wall switch

NOTE: Wire supplied on the unit will be red, white and green. Wire purchased separately will be red, yellow and green.

1.Install the control wire from the fireplace to the switch location. Use caution not to stress the wire around tight or sharp corners. Do not run the control wire adjacent to existing or future phone, data, cable, or electrical lines. The wire should not come into contact with any part of the fireplace exterior with the exception of where it exits the outer wrap. Feed the wire to the electrical junction box and through a provided or approved strain relief.

2.Strip outer casing back about 1-1/2 inch. Use caution to avoid stripping inner wires.

3.Strip the white or yellow, red and green wire casings back about 3/8 inch.

4.Use a screw driver to connect the red wire to the “R” terminal, white or yellow wire to the “Y” terminal, and the green wire to the “G” terminal. Do not overtighten.

5.Use the screws provided to mount the switch to the electrical junction box right side up.

6.Install provided cover plate using the screws provided. Do NOT use a substitute cover, even though it may fit.

1.3Installing the Control Box

WARNING

1.Place control box into the base pan area of the fireplace. Place unit as close to the louvers or decorative front as possible and to either the left or right side.

2.Connect the red, yellow or white and green wires to the R, Y and G labeled terminals on the control box.

3.Unplug the 8-pin wiring connector from the ignition module box and plug it into the 8-pin connector slot on the WSK control box.
