Receiver
Optional 6 Hour Shutdown
1. The receiver comes preset from the factory with a 6 hour
shutdown from its last ON operation. This is done to pre-
vent the appliance from continuing to run if unattended.
2. You may disable this feature if you wish. To disable,
change the receiver privacy (DIP) switch #1 ONLY to the
OFF position. Make sure the transmitter privacy (DIP)
switches are set the same. Follow the instructions on
Setting Privacy (DIP) Switch on Receiver & Transmitter
discussed early in this manual.
3. By disabling this feature, your appliance may continue to
run unattended.
Slide Switch
1. ON position: the system will remain on until the slide
switch is placed in the OFF or RS position.
2. RS position: the system will only operate if the remote
receiver detects a signal from the transmitter.
3. OFF position: the system is off. The slide switch should be
placed in the OFF position if you will be away for an
extended period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted
out of children's reach, the OFF position also functions as
a safety device by both turning the system off and render-
ing the receiver inoperable.
TESTING YOUR NEW REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Connect the wiring terminal to the appliance. Refer to the
appropriate Homeowner's Manual for proper wiring con-
nections.
2. Light your gas appliance following the lighting instruc-
tions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot
light is on; it must be in operation for the remote control to
operate the main gas valve. Appliance pilot control knob
must be in the ON position. Appliance ON/OFF switch
must be in OFF position.
3. Slide the 3 position button on the remote receiver to the
ON position. The main gas flame should ignite.
4. Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the
pilot light will remain on).
5. Slide the button to RS (the center position), then press the
ON button on the transmitter to turn the system to ON.
The main gas flame should ignite.
6. Press the OFF button on the transmitter to turn the system
off. The flame should extinguish (the pilot light will
remain on).
