1.0 Installation instructions
1.1 Determine location
Determine the location for the wall switch. The chosen
location should provide an accessible location in the
same space as the gas fireplace. Never place this unit in
aseparate room. The controlwire suppliedwith this switch
is 33 ft (10M) in length. The distance from the fireplace to
the switch may be lengthened provided that the wire used
neverexceeds50ft,andthatthedistancefromthefireplace
to the switch never exceeds 30 ft.
The switch should be mounted into a listed electrical junc-
tion box. The junction box should be dedicated to this wall
switch. Never install this wall switch into a junction box
that is shared with other electrical service or devices. If
possible,install this unit on aninterior wall of the residence
at a recommended height of 5 ft from the flooring. Should
the switch be installed on an exterior wall, be certain wall
insulationis kept intact and notdamaged ordislodged dur-
ing the installation of the electrical junction box.
For exterior wall installations, it is recommended that the
junction box be sealed with caulking material. This will
minimize heat loss through this location and improve the
accuracy of the automatic (thermostat) operation.
