Ambient Technologies RCB Remote Control Battery Receiver

Product Description

The AMBIENT TECHNOLOGIES RCB is a basic on-off remote control system with a battery-powered receiver, designed for millivolt valve and 24-volt gas appliances including fireplaces, logs, inserts, and stoves. The system operates on radio frequency (RF) technology, which reduces signal interference common with infrared remotes. It includes 16 unique security codes to prevent cross-signal activation from neighboring units. Operating range extends up to 30 feet under clear-line conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians and hearth installation professionals are the typical installers for this type of control system.

The RCB is suited for residential applications where a straightforward on-off RF remote is needed to control a millivolt or 24-volt gas appliance. Typical use cases include gas fireplace inserts, freestanding gas stoves, and decorative gas log sets. The battery-powered receiver eliminates the need to run a dedicated power line to the appliance location, simplifying retrofit installations. The 6-hour optional safety shutdown feature automatically cuts power to the receiver after continuous operation, adding a layer of protection in occupied residential spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation of gas appliance remote control systems should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified hearth installer in accordance with local codes and the appliance manufacturer guidelines. Shut off the gas supply and allow the appliance to cool completely before accessing the valve or control wiring. Verify the appliance uses a millivolt or 24-volt control system before connecting the receiver. Battery receiver placement should allow for adequate signal reception within the 30-foot operating range.
