Product Details
Part Number: VR1A eFireplaceStore Item Number: PTS-VR1A UPC: 619655146348 Features
*Also Note: If pairing this remote kit with an APK17 valve in need of new wires, you will need to purchase a WH-01 wire harness.  WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.If there's one gas log accessory that will make your life easier, it's the addition of a remote control. The VR-1A gas burner remote kit from Real Fyre has a simple functionality but a big impact, allowing you to control your gas log burner from the comfort of the couch or even the next room. The on and off buttons pull double-duty by also controlling the height of your burner's flames and, therefore, its heat output. A convenient wall clip included with this kit helps prevent the frustration of losing the remote transmitter among the couch cushions, making the choice that much easier. |

How would I repair the remote if the battery is not seating properly?
1 Answer
If the red light illuminates, usually the remote is functioning as it should. I would start by cleaning the terminals in the receiver box with fine-grit sandpaper or something mildly abrasive to remove the corrosion. Then I would push the learn button on the receiver to see if there is an audible beep from the receiver and then push the on button on the remote to resync them together. If the receiver is not giving any audible beep, it is not functioning.

How do you change the batteries on the receiver?
1 Answer
There should be a small receiver box next to the gas valve of your log set for the VR1A kit. That receiver will have a cover plate that slides off to expose 4 AA batteries.

I have replaced the batteries and tried the learn, but no beeping. Remote is working, though. What next?
1 Answer
If you have replaced the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver and re-syncing does not fix the issue, the remote is likely dead. If this is the case within one year of purchase, a replacement remote would be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

My Remote Model VR-1A is not working. I have changed the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver, followed the reset learning instructions, and do not hear any beeps. Is the receiver broken?
1 Answer
If the remote was previously installed and operated normally and now installed the same way, then, yes, you likely have a failed remote kit and it may need to be replaced.

February 24, 2018
Does the Real Fyre Basic Variable Remote Control - VR1a work with any gas vented log set or do I have to purchase other things to make the Fireplace work again?
1 Answer
This remote would only work with a pilot kit (valve, pilot assembly) that already offered remote adjustment of the flame. If you have a vented gas log set, you may very well be able to purchase a variable flame remote pilot kit to have remote adjustment of the flame, but the corresponding pilot kit this remote will work with is designed specifically for use with the RH Peterson (Real Fyre) burners we also offer.

Great Product, Great Service!
Due to a snowstorm, we had no heat for three days. My husband has dementia and somehow lost our remote for our aging gas logs.
I shopped at our local fireplace store. They gave me the wrong remote (which I returned) and charged us double of what it should have been. (They later refunded us our money)
Looked online. Was pleasantly surprised to see the eFirePlace Store had the model that we needed.
I ordered it and it arrived quickly PLUS it cost us half the amount our local store charged.
A wide variety of fireplace needs.
Quick, economical service.

Works well but was hard to install.
The wires were not connected to the receiver, thus making it very tedious and difficult to install.
Works easily once installed
Too hard to set up. Wires should be already connected to the receiver.
