INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

F-40 Includes: F-50 Includes:

W660-0066 Transmitter W660-0067 Transmitter
W660-0076 Receiver W660-0076 Receiver

The F-40 and the F-50 transmitter units have been approved for
use with most Wolf Steel gas fi replaces using a millivolt system.

The Receiver (W660-0076) can be installed in either the fi replace
or be wall mounted depending on the application.

The F-40 provides on/off status, and the current room temperature
as well as having a low battery indicator. It allows you to switch the
fi replace on or off from anywhere in the room.

The F-50 is a thermostatically controlled transmitter that provides
on/off status, displays room/set temperature as well as having a
low battery indicator. These transmitter kits are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with these instructions.

Modifi cation of any part of this kit will void any warranty claims
and could create a fi re hazard.

RECEIVER INSTALLATION:

Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the fi replace.
(Gas supply may need to be disconnected from the gas control
valve.) Make sure the slide switch on the receiver is set to the OFF
position.

1. Either disconnect or connect in parallel* with any other
transmitter wiring from the valve. Attach the wires from terminal 1
(TPTH) and terminal 3 (TH) of the gas valve to the output terminals
on the receiver.

FIREPLACE MOUNT:
For stove and insert models: do not install the receiver in the

gas control valve compartment as this area becomes too hot. On
stoves, it may be installed in or behind the pedestal; on inserts,
it may be installed behind the fl ashings or a similar convenient
location.
In a zero clearance model: the receiver may be installed in the
gas control compartment.

2. Ensuring that the mounting location will allow for the battery
compartment to slide out, secure the receiver to an appropriate
location depending on the fi replace model using the screws
provided and/or the adhesive pad.

3. If the gas supply was disconnected at the valve, leak test using
a soap and water solution. Turn electricity back on.

*INSTALLER: It may be advisable to connect a switch with
short lengths of wire to minimize the resistance. This will allow
the homeowner to continue to control the burner in the event
of battery failure.

For all millivolt switch wiring, hook up the switch leads on
terminals 1 and 3 of the gas valve.

WALL MOUNT:

2. Press the battery compartment slightly into the receiver and
release enabling the battery compartment to pop out. Pull off the
slide switch. Slide the receiver out of the fi replace mounting plate.

3. Using the screws provided secure the receiver and the face
plate to an existing junction box.

4. Replace the slide switch. Place 4 AA batteries into the battery
compartment and slide the compartment back
into the receiver.

5. If the gas supply was disconnected at
the valve, leak test using a soap and water

CAUTION: In the event that the transmitter fails to send a
signal to the receiver for a period of twenty-four hours, the
receiver will automatically turn OFF the fi replace. This may
occur if the set temperature is not reached, if the transmitter is
out of range (25 feet), or if the transmitter batteries fail.
The twenty-four hour safety timer allows the receiver to
assume control of the fi replace after two hours of uninterrupted
operation. After two hours of continuous operation by the
fi replace the receiver will cycle OFF for 30 minutes and ON for
20 minutes for the next four hours.
If a signal has not been received after twenty-four hours the
receiver will shut OFF the fi replace. Press the AUTO ON/OFF
button on the transmitter to reset the transmitter, then press
the AUTO ON/OFF button again to resume operation.
The six hour safety timer may be disengaged by moving the
toggle switch on the back of the receiver. Factory setting
is ON. Changing the switch will allow the fi replace to run
continuously if required.

WARNING: In the event of prolonged absences, the F-50
should not be left in thermostat mode. If the transmitter
batteries fail while the fi replace is operating the receiver will
assume control and shut OFF the fi replace after twenty-four
hours. If the transmitter batteries fail while the fi replace is not
operating the fi replace will remain OFF.
