RCT-MLT-IV Remote Control Kits

- Installation and Operating Instructions -

INTRODUCTION

The remote control system can be operated thermostati-

cally or manually from the transmitter. The system operates

on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20 foot range. Can be

used with DSI, IPI or Standing Pilot systems.

This remote control kit has a hand held transmitter that

can be used as a remote on/off or as a thermostat. The

transmitter display shows the current room temperature,

target temperature, timer setting, on/off status, low bat-

tery indicator, current time, burner/valve operation and

fan operation. Electrical ratings for the receiver are: 110

VAC, 60 Hz, 6 W.

If pertinent, see additional replace wiring diagrams on

pages 9 to 11.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

This remote control kit is tested and safe when installed in

accordance with this installation manual.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT 110-120 VAC WIRING

TO THE GAS CONTROL VALVE OF THIS APPLIANCE.

It is the responsibility of the installer to read all instructions

before starting installation and to follow these instructions

carefully during installation. Modication of the remote

control system or any of its components will void the war-

ranty and may cause a re hazard.

NOTE: The factory installed junction box in the gas

replace must be wired with 110 VAC before installing

this kit. See Installation Instructions section.

CAUTION: All wiring should be done by a qualied electri-

cian and shall be in compliance with local codes and with

the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-current (in

the United States), or with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian

Electric Code (in Canada).

NOTE: A manometer MUST be used to set the

manifold pressure on the gas valve.

Installation of this kit MUST be done by a qualied

service technician.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to com-

ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to pro-

vide reasonable protection against harmful interference in

a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user

is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or

more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician

for help.

NOTE: To prevent repeated thermo-cycling of the gas appliance, the sensing unit in the transmitter will only activate the remote receiver when the temperature change exceeds 2º F (1º C) above or below the SET (desired) temperature. When the transmitter is in the THERMO mode, it should be kept away from direct sources of heat such as fireplaces, incandescent lighting and direct sunlight.

Set the SET temperature to at least 2º F (1º C) below the room temperature and the system flame will extinguish. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle on and off thermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differential between ROOM and SET temperatures differs at least 2º F (1º C). The 2º F differential is the factory setting.
