REMOTE RECEIVER
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT
The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1. 5V AA-size batteries. It is
recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and
maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully char ged
batteri es are essent ial to proper operat ion of the remote receiver as a latching
solenoid power consumpt ion is substantially higher than standard remote control
IMPORTANT
TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT REMOTE RECEIVER DIRECTLY TO 110-120VAC POWER. THIS WILL BURN
OUT THE RECEIVER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM MANUFACTURER OF GAS VALVE FOR
CORRECT WIRING PROCEDURES. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO GAS VALVE AND REMOTE RECEIVER, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY
WARRANTY.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: INSTALLATIONS IN THE OPTIONAL CERAMIC LOG HOUSE (ITEM #RH2) IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Rev. 12/08/06 Page 2 of 5
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the
receiver case. Batt ery life is also signif icantly shortened if batt eries are exposed to high temperatures.
Make sure the remote recei ver switch is in the OFF position. For best results it i s recomm ended that 18 gauge stranded wires should
be used to make connections and no l onger than 20 ft.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO A VALVE WITH THE LATCHING SOLENOID
1. Connect the BLACK 18 gage stranded wire wit h the ” female terminal fr om the receiver to the BLACK wire with the 1/4” male
terminal s from the valve solenoid.
2. Connect the RED 18 gage stranded wire with the ” female terminal fr om the recei ver to the RED wire with the 1/4” male terminals
from the valve solenoid.
3. After receiver wires are connected to the valve solenoid wire make sure the receiver shield is located over the receiver and then
locate the r eceiver in an area that will not exceed the 130° F.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Operation of these controls is dependent on which wire is attached to which terminal. If operation of control
does not correspond t o operating buttons on tr ansm it ter, reverse wir e inst all ation at the receiver or at the control.
NOTE: Up to 6.3 VDC of power is provided at the receiver terminal.

When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130°F, the THERMISTOR will automatically
send 2 pulses of power t o the off ter minal on the valve to shut the fir eplace system off and the RECEIVER will begin emitt ing a series of
2 "beeps" every 4 seconds. W hen the ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120° F and 130° F, the user can
reactivat e the fireplace by pushing either button on the transmitter. When any transmitt er but ton is pressed, the THERMISTOR "resets"
itself and the fireplace will begin oper ating again. However, the "beeping" wi ll continue, if the ambient temperature remains between
120° F and 130° F. This "beeping" al erts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperat ure drops below
120° F.
When the temperature drops below 120° F, the "beeping" will cease, providing the user has "reset" the THERMISTOR by pushing
either transm it ter button to operat e the fireplace. Allow sufficient time for receiver to cool bel ow 120° F, and then press transmitter
button to stop beeping.
GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitt er can use one of 65,536 unique securi ty codes. It may be necessary to press t he LEARN button on the remote receiver
accept the tr ansm it ter security code upon ini tial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter i s purchased from your
dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitt er security code, be sure t he slide button on the receiver is in the
REMOTE position; the recei ver will NOT "LEARN" if the slide switch is in the OFF position. Press the LEARN button on the remote
receiver t o accept the transmitter security code Push and Release the LEARN button on the front of the remote receiver and then
Press any button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping patt ern, at the receiver, indi cates the transmitter's code has been
accepted into the receiver. When an existing r eceiver has accepted the new transmitter, the new security code will overwrite the old
one.
Rev. 12/08/06 Page 3 of 5
The microprocessor that control s the security code matching procedur e is controlled by a tim ing function. If you are unsuccessful in
matching the secur ity code on the first attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying agai n--this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its
timer cir cuit ry--and try up to two or three m ore ti m es.
OPERATION
1. This remote wall timer will oper ate the gas valve’s lat ching solenoid to open the gas flow to f ull ON.
2. When the ON button is depressed the transm itter sends a RF signal to the recei ver. The receiver t hen sends a
pulse of 6 volts of power t o the sol enoid. The solenoid then opens the gas flow to the burner then to full ON.
3. When the OFF button is depressed the t ransmitter sends a RF signal t o the r eceiver. The receiver t hen sends a
pulse of 6 volts of power t o the sol enoid. The solenoid then closes the gas flow to the burner then to ful l OFF.
4. The remote wall timer will only work with the hand held transmitter. The receiver slide switch is only for positive OFF or REMOTE
operation.
NOTE: Extensive use of the Latching Solenoid (ON/OFF) will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batt eri es in the WT-2R can be up to 12 months depending on use of the sol enoid function. Replace all
batteri es annually. When the transmitter no l onger operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter's
range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not f unction at all, the batteries should be checked. It is i m port ant that the remote
receiver bat teries are fully charged, providing combined output voltage of at least 5.0 volts. The transmitter should operate with as little
as 2.4 volts battery power. NOTE: Extensive use of the Solenoid wil l r educe the receiver's battery life signifi cantl y.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter probl em s with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it coul d be with the WT-2R remote
system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual t o make sure all connections are pr operly made. Then check the
operation of the remote in the following manner:
1. Make sure the batteries are correctly install ed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep recei ver from operating properly.
2. Check battery in TRANSMITTER to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in f or tighter
fit.
3. Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER are within 20'-25' operati ng range.
4. Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 120° F. Battery life short ened when am bient temperatures are above 115° F.
5. If RECEIVER is installed in tightl y enclosed metal surround, the operating distance wil l be shortened.
NOTE:
1. A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperatur e insi de the case exceeds 130° F, will cause the THERMOSTAT-
SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to "reset" the recei ver's operation.
2. Due to handling and shipping of t he unit, handling or dropping of t he transmitter by the customer , and/ or heat conditions at the
receiver, som e recei vers may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication
and operating distance between the transm it ter and the receiver. Follow the steps below for making the adjust m ent.
FREQUENCY (DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT
1. To adjust at the receiver, use a sm all slotted screwdriver . Turn the adjustment (ADJ)
screw counter- clockwise about 5° or maxi m um of 1/8 turn. This should correct the
distance probl em.
2. If that does not correct the problem, return adjust m ent screw to original position and then
turn adjust m ent screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment screw, in either
direction, you will go past the proper sett ing (tuning).
