FRBC - MILLIvOLT CONTROL SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
This remote control system must be installed exactly as out-
lined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely be-
fore attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during
installation. Any modifications of the ECS remote control or any
of its components will void the warrant and may be pose a fire
hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to
110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer's in-
structions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all
wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer's
specifications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only.
Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or elec-
tronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper instal-
lation of electric components can cause damage to electronic
module, gas valve and remote receiver.
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard
plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Pref-
erably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic
switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from both
the heat produced by the gas appliance and potential damage or
abuse that can occur if it is left exposed on the hearth. PROTEC-
TION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any
piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept
away from temperatures exceeding 130° F inside the receiver
case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are ex-
posed to high temperatures.
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is
recommended that 18 gauge solid or stranded wires (not included)
be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on
the millivolt gas valve or electronic module and the wire terminals
on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18 gauge solid or
stranded wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.

WARNING
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the
gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by this remote
should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connec-
tions WILL cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module
operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote
receiver.
WIRING MILLIvOLT vALvES
The remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the
TH (thermostat) terminals on the terminal block on the millivolt
gas valve.
Connect 18 gauge solid or stranded wires from the remote re-
ceiver to the gas valve.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat
in that both turn the gas valve on and off based on input signals.
A thermostat's input signals are different temperatures. The re-
mote receiver's input signals come from the transmitter.
Connect each of the two wires leading from the TH terminals on
the millivolt gas valve to either of the two wire terminals on the
remote receiver. Normally it does not matter which wires go to
which terminal.
sysTEM ChECK
MILLIvOLT vALvES
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that
came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it
must be in operation for the main gas valve to operate.
• Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON
position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should ignite.
• Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the
pilot flame will remain on).
• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press
the ON button on the transmitter to change the system to
ON. The main gas flame should ignite.
