Introduction
The Valor L1, L1 See Thru, L2, L3, LX1, and LX2
fireplaces may be upgraded with a WiFi module,
allowing the homeowner to connect the fireplace onto
the home's WiFi system and control it using the Valor
10 app on a smart device (which must be within WiFi
range).
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 fireplace (using the
remote handset or wall switch) can still be achieved if
battery power is already supplied and available.
WARNING
All electrical installations must be
performed by a qualified 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.
Notes - Existing Electrical Accessories
L1 1500, L2 1700 or L3 1800 fireplaces
• Your fireplace may have been already installed with an optional fan (1595CFK) and/or optional lighting kit (1565LLK).
These kits are operated independently from the remote control and cannot be operated with the WiFi system and
Valor 10 Remote Control or Valor 10 Application.
• If a 1595CFKV2 fan has been installed, it has a GV60VM V-Module already and can be operated by WiFi/Valor 10
Remote control and Application.
LX1 2100 or LX2 2200 fireplaces
• Your fireplace is supplied with ambient lighting above the burner. The lighting can be operated with the WiFi sys-
tem, Valor 10 Remote Control or Valor 10 Application. The existing V-Module provided with these fireplaces must be
may not be compatible with the WiFi upgrade, in which case, you may need the V-Module Kit GV60VM - see specifi-
cations of required components next page.
Note
If you are unsure of whether the equipment in your
installation meets requirements, please contact
your local Valor dealer:
valorfireplaces.com/contact/
Caution
When installing any cables or wires in the steps
listed, be sure to gather any extra wire with cable
ties and prevent them touching the firebox or other
hot metal surfaces in the fireplace!
Attention!
The WiFi upgrade will require electrical wiring to
your fireplace, if not already in place.
Note
If the AC receptacle in your fireplace has not
been connected, see your Installation Manual for
instructions, or hard wire back to available power
(consult local electrical codes). See page 5 for
details on receptacle location.

displayed on the handset during the pairing se-
quence. You will hear two short beeps confirming
the pairing is done.
If you hear one long beep, the pairing sequence has
failed or the wiring is incorrect.
This is a one time pairing only and is not required when
changing the batteries of the handset or battery holder.
The remote control system is now ready to use.
If desired, mount the wall holder to the wall, no closer
than 3' to the fireplace. Do not mount the wall holder
above the fireplace.
Proceed to Section 2: V-Module Kit (GV60VM).
Notes

and is therefore required to use any thermostatic
functions via the app.
** If there is already an existing battery holder and
cable installed in your fireplace, you may continue
to use it.
Note

Resetting the Module
In the event of a nonrecoverable failure, or if the
homeowner needs to set up a new home network, the
WiFi module can be easily reset to factory default to
allow all the setup steps to be done again.
To reset the module:
1. Ensure it is receiving power from the fireplace.
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.
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 briefly 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 configure per the instructions in For Software
Information (see below).
Caution
Performing this action removes all network data
from your WiFi module!
