Red and black wires from battery pack are connected to red and black wires on solenoid/motor. Black wire 
should be on the outside and red wire should be on the inside on the terminal block. (Fig. 3) 

 

Battery pack is in the proper position.  

o

 

AFVK-SP-H/L should be in the latching solenoid 
position  

o

 

AFVK-SP-MH/L should be in the DC motor drive 
position. 

 

Check Solenoid/Motor with a 9 volt battery 

 

Disconnect red and black wires from the solenoid/motor and 
battery pack where they connect.     

 

Place one wire, from the solenoid/motor drive, on the (+) 
terminal and one on the (–) terminal of the 9 volt battery. This 
should adjust your flame either HI or LO.  

 

Reverse the wires and it should adjust the flame in the opposite direction. If this fails, the solenoid/motor 
drive should be replaced. 

 

 

Flame Height Seems HI/LO 

 

IMPORTANT

: Valve Kits are shipped Natural gas (NG) from 

Skytech. If using LP gas, make sure that you have followed the LP 
gas conversion procedure to convert from Natural (NG) to LP, before 
checking the following:  

 

Check 

 

Gas valve regulator is selected to proper gas being used. 
Remove regulator cap located on the front of the valve. 
Check to see if stem indicates proper gas type. If not, push 
stem in and turn to proper gas type; replace cap. (See Fig. 4 
thru 7)   

 

Use proper orifice for the correct type of gas being used. (Using a LP orifice while using NG gas 
will cause low flame height; and using a NG orifice on LP will cause high flame and sooting).

 

 

Low gas line pressure and blockage in the lines will affect the flame height. Contact a qualified gas 
technician. 

 

Contact gas log manufacturer for proper burner specifications.

              

 

 

 

Module Does Not Have An Audible Beep When Using Transmitter 

 

Check 

 

Battery voltage should be a minimum of 5.3 volts DC in the 
battery pack and a minimum of 9.0 volts DC in the transmitter. 

 

Red indicator light on transmitter illuminates when buttons are 
pressed. 

 

4-pin connector from module to battery pack is secure. 

 

Remote/Off switch on module is in the “Remote” position. 

 

Broken or frayed wires in and around box or burner assembly. 

 

To learn transmitter to module 

o

 

Press and immediately release the “Learn” button, on the module, you should hear an audible beep. 

o

 

If you 

do not

 hear an audible beep, clear memory of the module.  If you hear an audible beep, 

continue.
