INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas
heating appliance. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on
radio frequencies (RF) within a 20 feet range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of 1,048,576 secu-
rity codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver’s code must be matched to that of
the transmitter prior to initial use.

Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and THERMO SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE
RECEIVER section. These signal/temperature safety features shut down the replace system when a potentially unsafe condition
exists.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The transmitter operates on 2AAA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE bat-
teries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational performance.
IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the multi-
function transmitter.
Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5 V batteries into the battery transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends
of the batteries as indicated on the casing. When the batteries are inserted, the screen below
(with similar numbers) will display.
Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the position of the batteries.
Note: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring
components in the transmitter, it may be necessary to
allow the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature
before accurate room temperatures are displayed
on the screen. If the transmitter is activated from a
severe cold condition, it can take up to fteen minutes
for accurate temperature readings to appear.

4. Push the SET button to return LCD screen to normal state or wait 10 seconds and LCD screen will return to normal
state automatically.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING OPTIONS SWING TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL
The thermo-transmitter operates the replace system whenever the ROOM
TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET TEM-
PERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of a replace system may be
2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated
from the cold or drafts. A smaller “swing number” increases the number of
cycles so the room temperature is more constant. A larger “swing number”
decreases the number of cycles, which saves energy, in most cases. The
factory setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature
variation of +/- 2°F (1°C) between SET temperature and ROOM tempera-
ture which determines when the replace will be activate. The “SWING”
number values are:
1= +/- 1°F (.5°C), 2= +/- 2 °F (1°C), 3 = +/-3°F (1.6°C).
1. To change the temperature “SWING” setting (1-3), press the AHEAD + BACK buttons simultaneously to display the
current “SWING”
2. Setting in the SET TEMP frame. The word SWING will display on the LCD screen.
3. Press the UP or DOWN button to change the temperature differential or “SWING” (1-3). See above for 1-3 “SWING”
temperature values.
4 To store the “swing number”, press the SET button or allow 15 seconds to lapse, and the new “swing number” will be
automatically programmed.
MANUAL CHECK OF “SWING” OR TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL
The operation of the factory set “THERMO SWING” can be checked by adjusting the SET TEMP 2°F above or below the
room temperature. This will cause the system to turn ON or OFF. Normally the system will only respond to temperature
changes every two minutes. Manually changing the SET temperature will activate the system in less than 10 seconds. If
the “SWING” is changed, then a new room temperature differential will respond. Factory setting of SWING temperature is
2°F.

22775-3-1009Page 6
SETTING DESIRED ROOM TEMPERATURE
This remote control system can be thermostatically controlled when
the transmitter is in the THERMO mode (THERMO must be displayed
on the screen).
1. To set the DESIRED room temperature, press the MODE button
to place the transmitter into THERMO mode. THERMO ON or
OFF will display.
2. Then press the UP or DOWN button to select the DESIRED room
temperature. The highest SET temperature is 99°F (32 °C). The
lowest SET temperature is 45°F (6 °C).
3. The TRANSMITTER will “sense” the room temperature every two
minutes automatically turning the replace ON or OFF thermo-
statically.
TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE – (Operates only in PROGRAM mode)
The user may change the current SET temperature without changing
the programs stored in the transmitter’s memory. The OVERRIDE fea-
ture will be automatically cancelled at the start of the next PROGRAM
PERIOD.
1. To change current SET TEMP, press the UP or DOWN button
(Setting will be cancelled automatically when next program period
begins.) The word OVERRIDE will appear over the SET frame on
the LCD.
2. To cancel temperature OVERRIDE, press SET button.
TEMPERATURE HOLD – (Operates only in PROGRAM mode.)
The user may override the SET temperature during any period,
adjusting the SET temperature to a CONSTANT new SET/HOLD
temperature.
1. Press the UP or DOWN button to change the SET temperature to
the level desired. The word OVERRIDE will appear in SET frame
on the LCD.
OPERATIONAL NOTE: TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ARE ONLY RECORDED EVERY TWO
MINUTES. Additionally, to prevent repeated thermo-cycling of the gas appliance, the sensing unit in the transmitter will only activate
the remote receiver when the temperature change exceeds 2°F (1°C) above or below the SET (desired) temperature. However, if
the “SWING” setting has been changed from the factory setting (2°F /1°C), then thermo-cycling will activate at the new setting of the
“SWING” number.
MANUAL CHECK OF THERMO OPERATION
The operation of the Thermo setting can be checked on demand by adjusting the SET temperature 2°F above or below the room tem-
perature, which will cause the system to turn ON or OFF, respectively. Normally, however, the system will only respond to temperature
changes every two minutes. NOTE: if “SWING” number has been changed, then activation will occur at the new “SWING” setting.
When the gas replace system is activated, a FLAME icon will display on the LCD screen indicating a signal has been sent from the
transmitter.

hr, 1 hr 30 min, 2 hr, 2 hr 30 min, and each additional half
hour up to nine hours.
3. To set the TIMER press the SET button on the transmitter.
If the system is ON, it will remain on until the “timer” has
expired. If the system is in the THERMO mode, it will can-
cel ON and OFF, as the room temperature requires until
the “timer time” has expired.
4. To cancel the TIMER operation, press the TIMER/TIME
button for more than 2 seconds.
The word LOW outlined by a battery on the left side of the LCD screen
will appear when battery power has dropped signicantly. At this time,
approximately two weeks of battery power remains until the transmitter
may experience partial or complete loss of functions.
NOTE: A reversed battery will activate the LOW battery icon.
TRANSMITTER
OPERATING SAFETY MONITORS: SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN
The remote control operates on RF (radio frequency) signals that are sent by the TRANSMITTER (remote) to the RE-
CEIVER that operates the appliance. It is recommended that the TRANSMITTER always be located within the 20 foot
operating range, preferably in the same room in which the appliance is located.
OPERATIONAL NOTE: When the TIMER is used in the THERMO mode, the THERMO operation will discontinue only
when the “countdown time” has expired.

22775-3-1009Page 8
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the fol-
lowing manner, but only in the THERMO and PROGRAM MODES:
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature
it sends a signal to the receiver.
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This series remote controls have a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into the software. It provides an extra margin of safety
when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES – ON/THERMO/PROGRAM.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fteen (15) minutes, to the receiver,
indicating that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter
signal every 15 minutes, the IC software, in the RECEIVER will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If
during this 2-hour period, the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the replace
being controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after
10 seconds of rapid beeping, the RECEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter signal
is again received. The intermittent 4 second beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in
excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the replace system, you must press the MODE button on
the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the
COMMUNICATION SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal operation
depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter. The COMMUNICATION SAFETY feature will
reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range or should the transmit-
ter’s batteries fail or be removed.
REMOTE RECEIVER
The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteries. IT is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery
life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the
remote receiver.
The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control the system operation. It
emits one beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling on and off automatically in THERMO
mode. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF
• With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will
remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if
the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the system is
off.

THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This remote control has a THERMO-SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is temperature- activated
and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed 130°F degrees inside
the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the
receiver’s microprocessors.

For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to
discharge when temperatures exceed 115°F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant
temperature of 115°F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially
recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130°F, the THERMISTOR
will automatically shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 4 “beeps”, every 2
seconds.
When the ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120°F and 130°F, the user can reactivate the
appliance by pushing the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When
the MODE button is pressed to ON, the THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the replace will begin operating again.
However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between 120°F and 130°F. This “beep-
ing” alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120°F.
When the temperature drops below 120°F, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMIS-
TOR by pushing the MODE button to ON to operate the appliance, either manually or thermally. Allow sufcient
time for the receiver to cool below 120°F, and then press MODE button to stop beeping.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely
before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modications of the remote control
or any of its components will void the warranty and may pose a re hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufac-
turer’s instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to
manufacturer’s specications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from the manufacturer of the gas
valve and/or electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause
damage to the electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the replace hearth.
Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic compo-
nents from both the heat produced by the gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left exposed
on the hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment,
the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130°F inside the receiver case. Battery life is also
signicantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18 gauge stranded or solid wires (not
included) be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module
and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18 gauge stranded or solid wire, with no splices
and measuring no longer than 20 ft.
WALL MOUNTING
Install 4 AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should
be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are
tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output volt-
age of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.

22775-3-1009Page 10
To attach wall cover plate to receiver box:
1. Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower tab on wall
cover plate into groove of receiver (Make sure ADJ hole and LEARN hole
on cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver)
2. Pull receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
3. Position the wall cover plate so the word ON is facing up.
4. Install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using the two long
screws provided. Push the slide Button over the receiver slide switch only
after making sure the remote receiver has LEARNED the transmitter’s
security code (see MATCHING SECURITY CODES). NOTE:
slide
5. Button covers both ADJ and Learn holes when properly in-
stalled.
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is
in the REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see MATCHING
SECURITY CODES, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the replace hearth or under the replace,
behind the control access panel. Position where the ambient temperature inside the
receiver case does not exceed 130°F.
NOTE: Slide Button is used for Hearth Mount applications.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualied electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by
this remote should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections WILL cause damage to the gas valve or
electronic module operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote receiver.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES
The remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the TH (thermo-
stat) terminals on the terminal block on the millivolt gas valve. Connect 18
gauge stranded or solid wires from the remote receiver to the gas valve.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat in that both
turn the gas valve on and off based on input signals. A thermostat’s input
signals are different temperatures. The remote receiver’s input signals come
from the transmitter.
Connect each of the two wires leading from the TH and TH/TP terminals
on the millivolt gas valve to either of the two wire terminals on the remote
receiver. Normally it does not matter which wires go to which terminal.
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS
The remote control receiver can be connected, in series, to a 24VAC transformer
to the TR (transformer) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the
hot wire from the 24VAC transformer to either of the wire terminals on the remote
receiver. Connect another wire (not included) between the other receiver wire
terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE.
