Installation

It is preferable to install the 1265WSK at the same time
as the fi replace. The kit is connected to the receiver in
the fi replace. The receiver is located near the control
valve under the burner module or on the left of the
fi rebox.

CAUTION

DO NOT PUT BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE
CONTROL RECEIVER until the wires are connected

to the burner control unit as short-circuit could result
in the destruction of the electrical components.

1. Decide where the switch is to be installed. Install
an electrical outlet box or mud ring as required (not
supplied).

2. Thread the switch wire through an access hole in
the appliance.

CAUTION

Do not run the switch wire over the top of the
fi rebox. Route the wire so it does not contact the

fi rebox.

3. Pull out the receiver box. Remove the batteries from
the receiver box if it contains any. You can remove

the ignition wire to improve access to the receiver.

4. Take the switch wire and plug it into the receiver’s
connection slot as indicated (the other slot should
already be fi tted with the valve’s wire harness
connector). See diagrams below.

IMPORTANT: The connection can only be done
one way. Do not force it or damage the pins!

5. On the outside of the fi replace, run the switch wire
into the outlet box. Use insulated type staples to
secure the wiring to framing.

6. Plug the wire into the switch plate and to the outlet
box.

7. Reconnect the ignition wire to the receiver if it was
previously removed.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the ignition wire DOES
NOT TOUCH the receiver’s antenna.

8. Insert 4 AA alkaline batteries in the receiver.
Replace the cover.

9. Test the operation of the wall switch—see page 1.

10. Fix the wall cover plate to the outlet box.

11. Replace the receiver in its position and as well as
the antenna if deployed.

IMPORTANT: The antenna MUST NOT TOUCH
the ignition wire.
