For Valor heaters using the GV60 Valve
September 2019
4007703
Introduction
Any Valor replace using a GV60 Valve may
be upgraded to allow the installation of the
GV60WIFI module, allowing the homeowner
to put the replace onto the home’s WiFi
system.
Depending on the existing installation,
some parts of the replace may need to
be added or upgraded. This document
outlines the required components and the
instructions to physically install them.
The WiFi module must be wired into a
compatible receiver, complete with SI port
as shown below.
Electrical Requirements
A grounded, single phase, 115VAC power
supply is required for operation of the WiFi
system.
If the AC main power is lost, WiFi operation
will be lost also. Remote operation of the
replace (using the remote handset) can
still be achieved if battery power is properly
supplied and available.
WARNING
All electrical installations must
be performed by a qualied
electrician and must be
electrically wired and grounded
in accordance with local
codes, or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or the Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1.

Resetting the Module
In the event of a nonrecoverable failure, or if the
homeowner needs to set up a new home network, the
module can be easily reset to factory default to allow all
the setup steps in this guide to be done again.
Note: Performing this action removes all network data
from your WiFi module!
To reset the module:
1. Ensure it is receiving power from the replace.
2. Insert a thin object (eg. paper clip) in the small
opening below the WLAN LED on the unit and press
until you feel the reset button click.
3. Hold the reset button for 20 seconds.
Reset button
During the reset, the Receiver LED will blink blue
slowly, then quickly. After the full 20 seconds, it will
blink blue slowly again, and you can release the
button. The Receiver LED will turn solid green.
Upon reset, the WLAN will briey blink red (to
indicate network loss) and then blink blue (to
indicate seeking a connection).
The module is now at factory default and you
are ready to congure per the instructions in For
Software Information (see below).
