Installation instructions
Determine location
Determine the location for the wall switch. The chosen location should provide an accessible location in the same space as the gas fireplace. Never place this unit in a separate room. The control wire supplied with this switch is 33 ft (10M) in length. The distance from the fireplace to the switch may be lengthened provided that the wire used never exceeds 50 ft, and that the distance from the fireplace to the switch never exceeds 30 ft.
The switch should be mounted into a 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 and improve the accuracy of the automatic (thermostat) operation.
Wiring the wall switch
Once a location is chosen and the electrical box is installed proceed as follows. Install the provided 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. Using a screw driver, connect the red wire to the “R” terminal, the yellow or white wire to the “W” or “Y” terminal, and the green wire to the “G” terminal. Do not
