Image showing the battery compartments for the receiver (4 AA batteries) and the remote control (2 AAA batteries).

Figure 5.1: Battery requirements for the remote and receiver.

  • Afstandbeheer: Requires 2 AAA batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the batteries, observing correct polarity.
  • Ontvanger: Requires 4 AA batteries. Open the battery compartment on the receiver box and insert the batteries, observing correct polarity.

5.2 Receiver Wiring to Millivolt Valve

This system is designed for millivolt gas valve systems. It functions as an on/off switch and connects to the TH and TH/TP terminals of your millivolt valve.

Diagram showing how to connect the receiver wires to the TH and TH/TP terminals of a gas fireplace millivolt valve.

Figure 5.2: Connecting the receiver to the millivolt gas valve.

  1. Ensure the gas supply to the fireplace is turned off before beginning installation.
  2. Locate the millivolt valve on your gas fireplace. Identify the TH and TH/TP terminals.
  3. Connect the two wires from the receiver to the TH and TH/TP terminals of the millivolt valve. The connection is non-polarized, so the order of the wires does not matter.
  4. Mount the receiver box in a suitable location, either inside the fireplace control area or on a wall using the provided wall plate and screws. Ensure it is away from direct heat.
  5. Restore the gas supply to the fireplace.
