INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable and user-friendly remote control
system for gas heating appliances. This all battery system, operates independently of household current. The system
operates on radio frequencies with a non-directional signals. The systems operating range is approximately 20-feet.
The system operates on one of 10,000,000 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory. It is
designed to be used with millivolt gas valves as a dry contact switch.
The transmitter (button) has a green and red LED light ring that ilimunates when you press and release the top button.
Tapping the transmitter one time, turns the appliance ON, emitting one green blink. Double tapping the transmitter turns
the appliance OFF, emitting two red blinks. If the LED light ring does not illuminate when tapping ON or OFF, check the
battery position and use a tester to ensure it has a minimum of 3 volts.
The transmitter operates on (1) 3-volt Lithium CR2450
button cell battery (included), capable of a 3 year battery
life.
Before using the transmitter, look for a small notch under
the battery cover and slide the cover toward the notch and
lift it off.
Underneath the battery is an insulation tab. Pull the tab out
from underneath the battery.
Below the area where the battery is installed is a 3 position
selector switch. The selector switch is not used with this
control system and should be left in the “1” position.
Note: If the selector switch is set to either “2” or “3” the
LED light ring will illuminate orange when tapping the
button transmitter and the appliance will not turn ON.
There is a low battery indicator built into the transmitter. A
red LED ash will blink once every 4 second indicating the
battery level is low.

REMOTE RECEIVER
The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for lon-
ger 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 system
operation. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: OFF/REMOTE/ON
• With the slide switch in the ON position, 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 accepts commands
from the transmitter. If the system does not work, see LEARNING
TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER Section.
• With the slide switch in the OFF position the system is OFF.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be in the OFF position if you will
be away from your home for an extended period of time. Placing the
slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off and
rendering the remote receiver inoperative.

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 modications 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 manufacturer’s
instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to
manufacturer’s specications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purposes only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or
electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to
electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.
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. When locating the receiver at 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 130º F inside the receiver case. Battery life is also
signicantly 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 solid or stranded wires
(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 wire with no splices and measuring no longer than
20-feet.
NOTE: This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or re feature. Adults must be present when
the Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance
or re feature when adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or re feature
burning unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or
re feature for any length of time, then the handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the
“OFF” position.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Model: 7001 REV. 4-17-20 Page 4
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 130º F. NOTE: Black slide button (accessory pack) is used
on Hearth Mount Applications.
WALL MOUNTING RECEIVER
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 total battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide a total
output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
To attach Cover Plate to Receiver Box:
Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with
lower tab on cover plate inserted into groove of receiver.
(Make sure LEARN hole on cover plate properly aligns with
remote receiver). Pull Receiver up and snap into top tab of

Model: 7001 REV. 4-17-20 Page 6
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the AA Alkaline batteries in the receiver should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all
batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e.
transmitter’s range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is
important that the remote receiver AA batteries are fully charged and provides continuous output voltage of a least 5.3
volts. The transmitter battery should operate with as little as 2.5-volts battery power, however it is capable of lasting up to
3 years.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your replace system, the problem may be with the replace itself or it could be with the
remote. Review the replace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then
check the operation of the remote in the following manner:
• Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from
operating properly.
• Check battery in transmitter to make sure it is installed with the (+) side up.
• See LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER section.
• Be sure Receiver and Transmitter is within 20-25-foot operating range.
• Keep receiver from temperatures exceeding 130º F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
130º F.
• If receiver is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. The receiver will learn up to three (3) security codes. It will be necessary to
press and release the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter security code upon initial use or if a
replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter
security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide
switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN button is located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole
labeled LEARN.
Using a small screwdriver or a tip of a pencil, gently press and release the LEARN button inside the hole. When you
release the LEARN button the LED light on the receiver will begin ashing every 1-second. Tap and release the top of
the transmitter one time. The LED light ring will emit one green blink of light on the transmitter and the LED light on the
receiver will ash quickly, indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted. Each time the transmitter is pressed
the receiver’s LED light will ash once indicating it has recieved the command.
To “clear” the learn memory from the receiver, press and hold the learn button on the receiver for 10-seconds. The LED
light will ash three (3) (long ashes) to indicate the memory is cleared.
Tap and release; Green light will blink Watch for red light on receiver
