INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions
completely before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modifications of
the ECS remote control or any of its components will void the warrant and may be pose a fire hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance
manufacturer's instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are
to be wired to manufacturer's specifications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas
valve and/or electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can
cause damage to electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth.
Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components
from both the heat produced by the gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left exposed on the
hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote
receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130° F inside the receiver case. Battery life is also significantly
shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18 gauge solid or stranded wires (not
included) be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module
and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18 gauge solid or stranded wire, with no splices and
measuring no longer than 20 ft.

WALL MOUNTING

Install 4 AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should be
factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned
to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0
to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
TO ATTACH COVER PLATE TO RECEIVER BOX
Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower
tab on cover plate inserted into groove of receiver (Make sure
LEARN hole on cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver)
Pull Receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
Position the cover plate so the word ON is facing up; then, install
the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using the two long
screws provided. Push the White Button over the receiver slide
switch only after making sure the remote receiver has LEARNED
the transmitter's security code (see MATCHING SECURITY
CODES).
NOTE: White Button covers Learn hole when properly installed.
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide
button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. If the system does
not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see MATCHING SECURITY
CODES, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind
the control access panel. Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver
case does not exceed 130° F.
NOTE: Black Slide Button is used for Hearth Mount applications.
