The terminalwire block can only be installed one way. Do not force the termi-nal plug onto the receiver. Follow the homeowner’s manual for connecting the two (2) 1/4"female spade terminals to the millivolt valve. For applications longer than 18 inches, use 18 gauge wire, 105ºCrated, with no splices. Connect to the two (2) 1/4" female spadewiring terminals. Wire can be no longer than 20 feet.Make sure that the wires do not contact the appliances any place other than at the terminals. Exposure to temperatures higher than 105C (250ºF) may cause the receiver to malfunction orfire hazard.Remote Transmitter:Installing Batteries:The remote transmitter uses three (3)"AAA"- size batteries. To installbatteries,1.Press down the battery door tab and lift up and remove the battery door.2.Install the batteries as indicated onthe receiver cover.3.Close the battery door by snap-ping in place.4.

After initial power up, the transmitter is ready for use.Manual Mode:1.Press the ON button once to turn on the appliance. Press the OFF button to turn it off. Low-battery detection:1.When the battery voltage drops to a certain level, the LED on the transmitter will blink until the battery expires. Change the battery before the battery is too weak for normal operation. TURN THE UNIT OFF BEFORE REPLACING BATTERIES.Receiver: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 receives a signal from the transmitter.3.OFF position: the system is off.
