With this handy hearth accessory you can enjoy the warmth of your fireplace, stove, or insert without ever having to leave your chair. So make using your Empire remote-ready appliance as convenient as possible with this Empire Electric Remote Control.

The transmitter operates on a 12V battery (included) made specifically for remote controls and electronic lighters. Before using the transmitter the 12V battery must be installed into the battery compartment.

It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational performance. 

The transmitter has ON and OFF functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates briefly to verify that a signal has been sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of five 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.

When plugged into a standard 110-120 VAC receptacle, the remote receiver operates on commands from the transmitter or from the slide switch on the face of the receiver (The slide switch is to be used during a power outage to operate the appliance manually). The remote receiver is manufactured with a “dry contact” relay in its circuitry that operates like an on/off switch, however, no power or current passes from the 110 VAC input side to the wires leading from the output side of the remote receiver.

This remote receiver will open or close the circuit it is controlling without introducing outside power or current. This FREC remote control system can be used in simplified installations to control a gas appliance without any additional relays or components.
