INTRODUCTION

The Avanti Z60 thermal remote control system was developed with the latest radio frequency (RF)
technology. The Avanti Z60 is easy to install. It allows the user to operate a gas appliance manually or
thermostatically with a user-friendly remote control system which does not require any household electric
current. The range of operation is approximately 20 feet (7 meters). The operating code of this remote
control system has been pre-programmed for instant operation after installation. However, its special
code-learning feature (on the receiver) allows the user to regulate the codes for operating with other
transmitters for a maximum flexibility. Note: installation in metal cabinets may limit the range of operation
