WIFI UPGRADES

LINEAR AND LX FIREPLACES

For Valor L and LX Heaters

January 2020

Introduction

The Valor L1, L1 See Thru, L2, L3, LX1, and LX2

ﬁreplaces may be upgraded with a WiFi module,

allowing the homeowner to connect the ﬁreplace onto

the home's WiFi system and control it using the Valor

10 app on a smart device (which must be within WiFi

range).

Electrical Requirements

A grounded, single phase, 115VAC power supply is

required for operation of the WiFi system.

If the AC main power is lost, WiFi operation will be

lost also. Remote operation of the ﬁreplace (using the

remote handset or wall switch) can still be achieved if

battery power is already supplied and available.

WARNING

All electrical installations must be

performed by a qualiﬁed electrician and

must be electrically wired and grounded

in accordance with local codes, or, in the

absence of local codes, with the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the

Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

Notes - Existing Electrical Accessories

L1 1500, L2 1700 or L3 1800 ﬁreplaces

• Your ﬁreplace may have been already installed with an optional fan (1595CFK) and/or optional lighting kit (1565LLK).

These kits are operated independently from the remote control and cannot be operated with the WiFi system and

Valor 10 Remote Control or Valor 10 Application.

• If a 1595CFKV2 fan has been installed, it has a GV60VM V-Module already and can be operated by WiFi/Valor 10

Remote control and Application.

LX1 2100 or LX2 2200 ﬁreplaces

• Your ﬁreplace is supplied with ambient lighting above the burner. The lighting can be operated with the WiFi sys-

tem, Valor 10 Remote Control or Valor 10 Application. The existing V-Module provided with these ﬁreplaces must be

may not be compatible with the WiFi upgrade, in which case, you may need the V-Module Kit GV60VM - see speciﬁ-

cations of required components next page.

Note

If you are unsure of whether the equipment in your

installation meets requirements, please contact

your local Valor dealer:

valorﬁreplaces.com/contact/

Caution

When installing any cables or wires in the steps

listed, be sure to gather any extra wire with cable

ties and prevent them touching the ﬁrebox or other

hot metal surfaces in the ﬁreplace!

Attention!

The WiFi upgrade will require electrical wiring to

your ﬁreplace, if not already in place.

Note

If the AC receptacle in your ﬁreplace has not

been connected, see your Installation Manual for

instructions, or hard wire back to available power

(consult local electrical codes). See page 5 for

details on receptacle location.

• Receiver

• Valor 10 remote handset*

• Valor 10 handset wall holder

• Battery holder**

• Battery holder cable

See "Hardware Requirements" on page 2 for full

details.

Installing the Receiver

See "Wiring Diagram" on page 3 for details.

2. Label wires and disconnect from existing Receiver.

See "Wiring Diagram" on page 3 for reference.

These include:

• SPARK (Ignitor) wire

• SW (yellow) wire

• TC (red) wire

• 8-wire bundle to the control valve

• PANEL wire to remote wall switch (if applicable)

• Battery holder cable (if applicable)

• MODULE wire to V-Module (if applicable)

3. Reconnect the wires listed in Step 1.

4. Place Velcro tabs onto the new Receiver, and place

it in the original location. Make sure the RESET but-

ton is facing the direction of easiest access.

Synchronize New Remote Control

Your new Receiver comes with a Valor 10 handset. The

Receiver and the handset must be initially paired be-

fore the ﬁrst use. (Note that batteries must already be

installed in the wall mounted battery holder)

displayed on the handset during the pairing se-

quence. You will hear two short beeps conﬁrming

the pairing is done.

If you hear one long beep, the pairing sequence has

failed or the wiring is incorrect.

This is a one time pairing only and is not required when

changing the batteries of the handset or battery holder.

The remote control system is now ready to use.

If desired, mount the wall holder to the wall, no closer

than 3' to the ﬁreplace. Do not mount the wall holder

above the ﬁreplace.

Proceed to Section 2: V-Module Kit (GV60VM).

Notes

* The handset contains the temperature sensor

and is therefore required to use any thermostatic

functions via the app.

** If there is already an existing battery holder and

cable installed in your ﬁreplace, you may continue

to use it.

Note

This Section applies to 1500I/J, 1600I/J, 1700I/J,

1800J, and 2200J ﬁreplaces only.

Resetting the Module

In the event of a nonrecoverable failure, or if the

homeowner needs to set up a new home network, the

WiFi module can be easily reset to factory default to

allow all the setup steps to be done again.

To reset the module:

1. Ensure it is receiving power from the ﬁreplace.

2. Insert a thin object (eg. paper clip) in the small

opening below the WLAN LED on the unit and press

until you feel the reset button click.

3. Hold the reset button for 20 seconds.

During the reset, the Receiver LED will blink blue slowly,

then quickly. After the full 20 seconds, it will blink blue

slowly again, and you can release the button. The

Receiver LED will turn solid green.

Upon reset, the WLAN will brieﬂy blink red (to indicate

network loss) and then blink blue (to indicate seeking a

connection).

The module is now at factory default and you are

ready to conﬁgure per the instructions in For Software

Information (see below).

Caution

Performing this action removes all network data

from your WiFi module!
