MILLIVOLT STANDING PILOT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STANDING PILOT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REMOTE/OFF/ON Switch
The fireplace is equipped with a REMOTE/OFF/ON switch. A wire
harness is attached to the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch. The red,
black and green (wires) female push-ons attach to the REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch. At the opposite end of the wire harness, the
black and green (wires) female push-ons attach to the gas valve.
An additional red and green wire are secured together with a wire
nut. Remove the wire nut and separate the wires to connect a
switch or remote.
Operation of REMOTE/OFF/ON Switch with no Accessories
To ignite main burner, turn the control knob on the gas valve
from the PILOT position to the ON position. Turn the REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The
fireplace will also turn on in the REMOTE position if the additional
red and green wires are connected together with a wire nut.
Wall Switch, FWS-1
Connect the green and red, stripped and bare, wires on the
REMOTE/OFF/ON switch wire harness to the wall switch. Turn
the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch to the REMOTE position. Pivot the
rocker switch on the FWS-1 to the ON position.
Wall Thermostats (optional)
TRW - Wireless for Millivolt models
TMV - Reed switch for Millivolt models
Battery Operated Remote Controls, FRBC, FBRTC, and TRW
Connect the green and red, stripped and bare, wires on the
REMOTE/OFF/ON switch wire harness to the remote receiver
that is a component in the remote kit. Turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON
switch to the REMOTE position. Follow instructions included with
the remote to complete installation.
NOTICE: If batteries fail in the remote, and immediate heat is
desired, turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch from the REMOTE
position to the ON position.

Installation of Remote Receiver
Place remote receiver on the floor of fireplace behind the louver
as far forward as possible.
Attention: The Velcro loop and hook are not necessary in this
installation but can be used to secure remote receiver.
Refer to remote control installation and operating instructions for
more details on remote control.
Millivolt Control
The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which should
be checked at the pressure test point. Turn captured screw
counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to pressure
gauge over test point (Use test point "A" closest to control knob).
After taking pressure reading, be sure and turn captured screw
clockwise firmly to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas
leaks. See Figure 72 for pressure tap locations.
Millivolt thermopile is self generating. Gas valve does not require
24 volts or 110 volts.
Check System Operation
Millivolt system and all individual components may be checked
with a millivolt meter 0-1000 MV range. The millivolt readings
should be:
• Across the thermopile terminals, 400-450 millivolts with
thermostat OFF.
• Across the thermopile terminals, 150-250 millivolts with
thermostat ON.
• Across the thermostat wires at the valve, less than 30 mil-
livolts with thermostat ON.
• Across the thermostat wires at the thermostat, less than 5
millivolts with thermostat ON. (Strong winds, dirty pilot and
low pressure will reduce readings.)
Use wire of a gauge proper for the length of the wire:
