I'm trying to connect a Robertshaw 55644 remote to my FMI Universal vent-free fireplace. The bottom two black wires is what is connected to the transmitter. When I try the remote, it turns everything off including the pilot light. Any suggestions?
What's up with the red jumper wire? That appears to be jumping the TH & TH-TP terminals & that looks like it'll keep the unit on at all times. Remove it & try your remote.
Removed the red jumper wire and now the fireplace won't turn on at all. The pilot light stays lite, but when I turn the black knob to the on position there are no flames.
I finally found a Y connector and that fixed the problem with turning the pilot light off. It states that the pilot light needs to be lit and the gas control valve turned to "ON" for the remote to work. I'm assuming that's the black knob that turns the fireplace on. I tried the fireplace on and the remote doesn't turn it off. I've tried just the pilot light on and turn the fireplace on with the remote and it doesn't turn on. I tried removing the red jumper wire, but then I can't turn the value to "ON". Any other suggestions?
It's in the remote switch. But even the on/off swich in the receiver should work the fireplace right?
