! NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for 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 the instructions, may 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 the 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.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference and; (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Receiver Installation (BF units only)

1. Open steel curtain (remove glass doors if applicable).

2. Remove two (2) screws on log grate and remove log grate (Figure 1).

3. Pull front edge of plastic ember bed grate up and forward until rear tab releases from the ledge located at the bottom
   of the partially reflective glass (Figure 2). ! NOTE : Log set fits tightly into firebox, some force may be necessary to remove.

4. Locate and remove the two (2) screws on the manual control bracket (Figure 3). Remove the bracket. 

5. Locate and depress the mounting tabs on the plug connector and remove the manual control bracket from fireplace (Figure 3).

6. Locate the plastic 9-pin plug in the bottom corner of the fireplace where the manual controls were plugged in to.

7. Insert the plug connector from the remote control bracket (Figure 4) into plastic plug inside the fireplace.

8. Run black antenna wire under remote bracket and ensure all wiring is placed such that it does not interfere with reassembly.

9. Install the two (2) screws removed in step 4 into the remote control bracket and attach it to the fireplace.

10. Replace the log set by inserting front edge and pushing the back down until rear tab snaps under back ledge (Figure 2) and the logs are resting against the partially reflective glass.

11. Replace log grate using two (2) screws previously removed in step 2.

Wall Control Installation

! NOTE : All electrical wiring must comply with all national and local electrical codes and regulations. Always use a qualified and licensed electrician should you have any questions or concerns for all wiring work.

! NOTE : The Wall Switch Remote Control is made to fit standard Decora style faceplates. Due to material inconsistencies of individual faceplates, it may be necessary to remove the faceplate for operations such as changing batteries.

Site Selection for Installation
Although this Wall Switch Remote Control can operate on battery power or by hard wire installation, a convenient and accessible location should be chosen. The range of the Wall Switch Remote Control is approximately 50 feet (15 m).

Installation requires the use of a standard device box and should the hard wire installation method be chosen, a location near an available 24V~ power source should be considered.

WARNING : Electrocution or other bodily harm and property damage can occur if a live wire is touched or damaged during installation. Always consult electrical schematics for the installation location of all wiring or consult a qualified and licensed electrician before you begin.

Installation

Required Tools and Hardware:

• Flat head screwdriver
• Wire cutters / strippers
• Two (2) wire nuts for 22 AWG wire
• Standard wall device box with minimum depth of 2.5 inches (6.35 cm)
• 24V~ Power supply (for hard wired power installation if applicable)

Battery Powered Installation

1. Remove the Wall Switch Remote Control and installation hardware from its package.
2. Release the Controller from its Outer Housing by pushing the front face into the Outer Housing until you hear a click. This will release the push-lock latches and allow the Controller to be removed from the Outer Housing (Figure 5).
3. Open the Battery Compartment as shown in Figure 6 and remove the Insulating Strip as shown in Figure 7.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.
5. Reinsert the Controller back into the Outer Housing by realigning the tracks on the top and bottom of the unit with the guides inside the Outer Housing. Push the Controller in until you hear the push-lock latches click (Figure 8).
6. Slide the Controller and Outer Housing assembly into a standard device box and fasten with the two (2) flat head screws (supplied) as shown in Figure 9.
7. Attach your choice of Decora style faceplate (not supplied) to complete the installation and to blend the installation in with your choice of decor.

Hard Wired Power Supplied Installation

Before starting this installation, it is helpful to initialize the Wall Switch Remote Control with your firebox (see Initialization section).
You should have the following items ready and prepared:

• Installed standard wall device box with a minimum depth of 2.5 inch (6.35 cm).

• A 24V~ power source leading to the device box. Possible sources could be a 24V~ door-bell circuit or a Class 2 24V~
  transformer.

• The 24V~ wire leads coming into the device box should have between 4 and 6 inches (10-15 cm) of slack left inside the box to allow for ease of installation and/or servicing.

• You may also leave the supplied AAA batteries in the Controller. There is an internal electronic bypass that will draw on the hard wired power source before the batteries.

1. Unpack the Wall Switch Re- mote Control and all hardware from its package.

2. Release the Controller from its Outer Housing by pushing the front face into the Outer Housing until you hear a click. This will release the push-lock latches and allow the Controller to be removed from the Outer Housing (Figure 5).

3. Push the wire lead storage compartment cover on the back of the Control towards the right (as shown), and remove (Figure 10).

4. Uncoil the two wire leads and feed each of them through one of the two holes located on the wire lead storage compartment cover (make sure orientation is as shown as in Figure 11).

5. Replace the wire lead storage compartment cover on the Controller with wire leads fed through and exposed.

6. Feed the two wire leads from the Controller through the two holes in the back of the Outer Housing as shown in Figure 12.

7. Gently pull the wire leads through while pushing the Controller into the Outer Housing until you hear the push lock latches click, locking the Controller in place (Figure 13).
   Locking Screw Option (Figure 14)
   To prevent tampering, dam- age, and theft, it is suggested to install the locking screws. Once installed, the locking screws will prevent the Controller from being released from the Outer Housing without being removed first from the device box in the wall.
   ! NOTE : A Philips head screw-driver will be required for this step.

8. Using the wiring diagram in Figure 15 as a guide, make the appropriate wire connections.
   ! NOTE : Wire leads are not polarized due to the nature of this device.

9. Coil excess wiring to the back of the device box and insert the Controller and Outer Housing into the device box (Figure 16). Fasten with two supplied flat head screws.

10. Attach your choice of Decora style faceplate (not supplied) to complete the installation and to blend the installation in with your choice of decor.

11. Initialize the sender with the receiver installed in your fire-place.

After installation, locate the section which applies to your specific model of fireplace and follow the steps for remote control
initialization and if required, re-initialization. Refer to your fireplace’s owner’s manual to locate manual or other controls as needed.
