2-BUTTON ON/OFF TRANSMITTER (FIG. 2)
IMPORTANT: The transmitter requires two AAA-size 1.5V batteries (excluded). New (fully charged) batteries are
required for proper functionality of the system. Insert batteries into the transmitter battery compartment on the back,
positioning the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries as indicated on the casing.
The TR1001 equips a 2-botton remote transmitter handset. Please press the button on transmitter firmly and slowly to
allow the receiver box to decode the ON / OFF signal for proper program execution. The time interval between
pressing ON and OFF should be at least 3 seconds.
The LED signal light should illuminate when either the ON or OFF button is pressed. If the signal light does not
illuminate, check the position of the transmitter’s battery, and if the battery is fully charged.
Fig. 2 Transmitter Handset
REMOTE RECEIVER BOX
The remote receiver box requires four AA-size 1.5V batteries (excluded) (Fig. 3). When low battery, the red LCD light
(below the “BATTERY” in Fig. 4) will be ON. For proper functions, please replace batteries as soon as possible.
The remote receiver box equips the microprocessor that receives the signals / commands from the transmitter in order to
control system operations / functions. It makes sounds of quick BEEP X 2 (♫, ♫) when it receives an “ON” command,
and makes sound of continuous BEEP for one second (♫~~~) when it receives an “OFF” command manually.
The remote receiver box has a 3-position slide switch (ON/REMOTE/OFF) and a LEARN button on the front panel
(Fig. 4).

ON mode: Slide the switch to the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain ON all the time.
Remote transmitter is disabled.
REMOTE mode: Slide the switch to the REMOTE position (middle), the system will ONLY operate with receiving signals
/ commands from the remote transmitter.
OFF mode: Slide the switch to the OFF position, the system will remain OFF all the time. Remote transmitter and
Receiver box are both disabled.
★NOTE: The OFF mode is strongly recommended if house is unattended for a long time. For safety, placing the slide
switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety “LOCK-OUT” by both turning the system off and disable the remote
receiver.
W ARNING & REMINDER
This system MUST be installed exactly as complied with these instructions. Read all instructions before
installation, and follow them during installation carefully.
Any modifications of Durablow remote control system, or parts, or components are PROHIBITED. They will void
the warranty, and may cause a fire hazard result in human casualties and property damages.
Do NOT connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power.
Read gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions and wiring schematics completely for proper placement of all
wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s specifications.
All wiring diagrams in these instructions are for illustration purpose ONLY. Follow instructions from manufacturers of
gas valve and electronic module for correct wiring & installation procedures. Improper installation of electric
components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.
PRE - INSTALLATION
Decide where to install the receiver box before proceeding. The receiver is designed to be wall-mounted into a standard
wall switch box (STRONGLY SUGGESTED).
Otherwise, you can place it under or near the fireplace hearth (*IMPORTANT: Keep away from high-heat of exceeding
130°F. Additional protection is required for no exposure to the heat).
Make sure the receiver box’s slide switch is in the OFF
position before installation.
The receiver is connected with 18-inches of black wire. If
additional length of wire is required, for the best results, 18
gauge stranded or solid wire are recommended. Splice with
the original black wires of the receiver box. Or, remove the
black wires and insert new wires directly into the slots at
back of receiver box (Fig, 5). Wires are NOT longer than 20-
feet. Please allow some wire / space to remove the receiver
for battery replacement or check.

WALL MOUNT
1. Install four AA-size 1.5V batteries into the remote receiver box (Fig 3). The system operates well with all
batteries’ total output voltage is greater than 5.2V. Generally, four NEW AA-size batteries should output voltage of
6.0 to 6.2 volts if installed in series.
2. Attach wall mount cover plate to receiver box (Fig. 6). Press the receiver and have it snap into top & bottom
tabs of cover plate.
3. Position the cover plate to have words facing up (Fig. 7) Install the remote receiver box into the wall switch
box with two provided switch box long screws.
NOTE: The remote receiver box will only receive signal from the transmitter in the REMOTE position (middle). The
remote receiver box code must be matched to the transmitter prior to initial use (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO
RECEIVER).
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver box can be placed on the fireplace, under the fireplace, behind the control panel or louvers....etc.
Keep away from high-heat of exceeding 130°F. Additional protection is required for no exposure to the heat. The Slide
switch button should be installed on the receiver box for Hearth Mount (Fig. 8).
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
ONLY qualified electrician / gas technician with the knowledge of gas appliances and gas valves that are permitted to
install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring installation will damage the gas valve, electronic module of gas
appliance and also the remote receiver.

LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter has a unique RF code. To have the receiver box to accept the transmitter’s signal (code), be sure the slide
switch button on the receiver is in the REMOTE mode.
Find the LEARN button on the front face of the receiver (Fig. 11) Use a small screw- driver gently press the black LEARN
button inside the hole. Then the receiver box will sounds of quick BEEP X 2 (♫, ♫). And press the ON button on 2-button
transmitter. The receiver box will sounds of quick BEEP X 3 ( ♫ , ♫ , ♫ ) to indicate that the transmitter’s code has been
captured by the receiver box.
If you fail the LEARNING of matching the security code, please wait 2 minutes before next try. The interval allows the
microprocessor in the receiver box to reset itself and available for accepting new code. Please try more times.

OUT-OF-RANGE SAFETY ALERT
This Durablow remote control system have a OUT-OF-RANGE SAFETY ALERT function which alerts when the
transmitter is out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver for both ON and OFF status, in order to prevent
the loss of transmitter, or low battery. The transmitter sends an RF signal every 15 minutes to the receiver box to indicate
that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20-foot.
If the receiver box does NOT receive a signal every 15 minutes from transmitter, the receiver will begin a 120-minute
countdown. If during this period, the receiver does NOT receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down
the system (OFF). Then the receiver will beeps rapidly for 10 seconds, and after that, the receiver will continue to beep
(single beep) every 4 seconds until a transmitter signal is again received. Press the ON button on the transmitter to reset
the receiver and the system will be back to normal operation.
The OUT-OF-RANGE SAFETY ALERT will be triggered when the transmitter is out of range again or the transmitter’s
low battery, batteries fail, batteries removed.
