FOR UNITS WITH REMOTE SYSTEMS

All burner systems are capable of operating with a latching sole-

noid remote control system. See the instructions packaged with 

the remote system that you have purchased for detailed installa-

tion and operational characteristics. The following instructions are 

a general guide for installation only.

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. 

Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. 

Verify proper operation after servicing.

These Vented Burner Systems use:

The American Flame AF-1000 Series Valve (AF-1010 shown here 

with remote solenoid shown separately in diagram). All systems 

use a safety pilot with a thermocouple. See Figures 10 & 11.

CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO THE VALVE

Notice: For extended, remote applications, extension wire (not 

provided) will be necessary for your distance run.

1.  The wire harness should already be installed to the terminal 

bock on the rear of the remote receiver.

FOR HANDHELD TRANSMITTER REMOTE RECEIVERS, SEE 

FIGURES 12 - 14.
FOR WALL SWITCH TRANSMITTER REMOTE RECEIVERS, 

SEE FIGURES 15 - 17.
WIRING SCHEMES FOR THE TERMINAL BLOCKS AND OP-

ERATIONS CHARACTERISTICS VARY BETWEEN THE TWO 

SYSTEMS.

2.  Connect the BLACK 18 gauge wire with the 1/4” female ter-

minal from the receiver to the BLACK wire with the 1/4” male 

terminal from the valve solenoid.

3.  Connect the RED 18 gauge wire with the 1/4” female ter-

minal from the receiver to the RED wire with the 1/4” male 

terminal from the valve solenoid.

4.  After receiver wires are connected to the valve solenoid 

wires, make sure the receiver shield is located over the 

receiver and then locate the receiver in an area that will not 

exceed 130°F (preferably outside the firebox, on the fire-

place hearth).

IMPORTANT

Operation of these controls is dependent upon which wire is 

attached to which terminal. If operation does not correspond to 

operating buttons on the transmitter, reverse the wire installa-

tion at the receiver or at the transmitter. See Figures 13, 14, 16, 

& 17.

Notice: Up to 6.3 VDC of power is provided at the receiver termi-

nal.
