                                                          WARNING
                                                Important Safety Information

      *       Read this manual thoroughly prior to installing, programming or operating this remote control.
      *       This remote control system is designed for use 6 VDC servo motor or solenoid valve systems (Maxitrol
              Gas Valve).
      *       This remote control system requires three (3) "AAA" and four (4) "AA" alkaline batteries to provide power
              for the transmitter and receiver respectfully to properly control the system operation. Wiring must conform
              to appliance requirementor all building codes and ordinances as required by local and national code
              authorities having jurisdiction.
      *       Do not short (or jumper) across terminals on the gas valve to test the remote control installation. This could
              damage the remote control system and void the watranty.
      *       This remote control system should only be used as described in this manual. Any other use is not
              recommended and will void the warranty.




                  Due to the sensitive temperature monitoring components used in the transmitter, you may
                  find it necessary to allow the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature before accurate
                  room temperatures are displayed on the LCD. If the transmitter is activated from a severe
                  cold condition, it can take up to 15 minutes for accurate temperature readings to appear on
                  LCD.




      44          Turn appliance OFF and allow to cool before installing or servicing. DO NOT connect
      2           110—120 VAC wiring to the remote control systems. The remote control systems must be
      7           installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely before
      M
      e           attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modification of
      >           components will void the warranty and may pose a fire hazard.
    WARNING




                  Low battery power in the transmitter or receiver can affect the operation of the remote
                  control in the AUTO mode. In some cases the unit may not cycle off when the target
                  temperatureis reached



WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

     *        Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
     *        Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
     *        Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
     *        Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

                                                INSTALLATIONS

Remote Receiver:

The remote receiver may be wall mounted or installed in the appliance per the instructions in the specific appliance
manual. Refer to the Homeowner‘s Manual for special installation instructions. If wall mounted, the remote
receiver must be installed in a junction box along with cover plate provided. Failure to follow the installation
instructions found in the appropriate Homeowner‘s Manual will void the warranty and may pose a fire hazard.

Installing Batteries:

The remote receiver uses four (4) "AA"— size batteries that came with the
package. To install batteries,

    1.   Remove the push buttons by gently pulling straight out.
    2.   Use your thumb and index finger to gently pull down the L—bracket.
    3.   Open the battery door by pressing the two tabs located on the door.
    4.   Install the batteries as marked or indicated in the receiver cover.            Push Button
    5.   Close the battery door until the door tab snap.
    6.   If you decided to install the receiver onto the wall, install the wall cover                     L—Bracket
         bracket that by securing the wall cover to the receiver with the screws
         provided or if you decided to install the receiver into apiliance
         surrounding, reinstall the L—bracket.
    7.   Gently, install the push buttons back to the receiver stem.
    8.   The batteries should be replaced at least once every 6 months or when
         the battery indicator light flashes.




                                                                                                 Battery Door




Installing Wire:

The remote control systems came with 18 inches pre—assembled wiring. Plug in the small white terminal block on
one end of the wiring to the back of the receiver. The terminal wire block can only be installed one way. Do not
force the terminal block into the receiver.

Follow the appliance owner instructions for connecting the one 1/4" and one 3/16" female spade terminal.

For applications that require wire longer than 18 inches, use 18 gauge wire, 105°C rated with no splices connecting
to the one 1/4" and one 3/16" female spade wiring terminal and measuring no longer than 20 feet.




              Make sure wiring are not directly contacting the appliances other than at the terminal. If
              wiring are exposed to temperature higher than 105C (250°F), the receiver may not function
              properly and may cause fire hazard.
