INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for use with the AF-2000
gas control valve used with some gas heating appliances. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20' range using non-
directional signals. The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the
remote receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.
Review THERMO SAFETY SECTION under RECEIVER section. This high temperature safety feature shuts
down the appliance when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

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 charged
batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote receiver..
NOTE: New batteries will provide a complete season of trouble free operation.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TWO-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR ON/OFF-HI/LO OPERATION OF THE AF-2000 GAS CONTROL VALVE
ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE
This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to
power a ON/OFF internal solenoid within the AF-2000 and a flame HI/LO
solenoid or flame HI/LO DC motor drive within AF-2000 gas control valve such as
WALL CLIP
SLOT
those used with some decorative gas logs, gas fireplaces and other gas heating
appliances.
Battery power from the receiver to operate the AF-2000 gas control valve. The
circuit uses a pulse of 3 volts DC battery power to operate an internal solenoid
(ON/OFF) or open/close and 3 volts DC battery power to operate a flame HI/LO
solenoid or flame HI/LO DC motor drive. The SYSTEM is controlled by a battery
operated remote transmitter.
The transmitter operates with a 12V battery (Included) made specifically for
remote controls and electronic lighters. Before using the transmitter, install the 12
12V
volt (A-23) battery in the battery compartment.
BATTERY
COMPARTMENT
It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life
and maximum operational performance.
The transmitter has ON/OFF and HI/LO functions that are activated by pressing
BACK
the button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is
pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being
sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote
receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's design. If the
signal light does not illuminate, check the position of the transmitter's battery.

- Page 2 The RECEIVER HI/LO feature comes from the factory programmed to provide pulse DC voltage (3.0 VDC) to a 3 volt latching solenoid. When this RCAF-3 is used with a HI/LO DC motor drive the receiver must be changed from (HI/LO Pulse Power) to (HI/LO Continuous Power.
- Page 3 CONNECTION RED WIRE BLACK WIRE The RCAF-3 is to be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the RCAF-3 remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the switch case. Battery life is significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
- Page 4 BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the RCAF-3 can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance (i.e., the transmitter's range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked.
