This system comes with an 18 inch pre-assembled wire assembly. Insert the white terminal to the back of the receiver. The terminal wire block can only be installed one way. Do not force the termi-
nal plug onto the receiver. Follow the homeowners manual for connecting the two (2) 1/4"
female spade terminals to the millivolt valve. For applications longer than 18 inches, use 18 gauge wire, 105C rated, with no splices. Connect to the two (2) 1/4" female spade wiring terminals. Wire can be no longer than 20 feet. I G N N R A W Make sure that the wires do not contact the appliances any place other than at the terminals. Exposure to temperatures higher than 105C
(250F) may cause the receiver to malfunction or fire hazard. Dip Switch (Default) Receiver Transmitter I G N N R A W Do not use two (2) or more remote control systems in the same area with the same dip switch settings, as they will communicate with each other. This may cause the appliances to malfunction.

This remote control system is designed for use with a milli volt gas valve system. Do not use this remote control system on applications with voltages above 30 Volts AC. This remote control system requires three (3) "AAA" and four
(4) "AA" alkaline batteries to power the transmitter and receiver. Wiring must conform to appliance requirement and building codes/ordinances as required by local and national code authorities having jurisdiction. Do not short (or jumper) across the gas valve terminals to test the remote control installation. This could damage the unit and void the warranty. This remote control system should only be used as described in this manual. Any other use is not recommended and will void the warranty. I G N N R A W Turn appliance OFF and allow to cool before installing or servicing. DO NOT connect 110-120 VAC wiring to the milli-volt gas control valve. The remote operator must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modification of components will void the warranty and may cause a fire hazard. Transmitter:

Slide Switch:
1.ON position: the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or RS position. 2.RS position: the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives a signal from the transmitter. 3.OFF position: the system is off. The slide switch should be placed in the OFF position if you will be away for an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of childrens reach, the OFF position also functions as a safety device by both turning the system off and rendering the receiver inoperable.
