Real Fyre WS-3 is a wall switch kit designed to control the flame height of your gas log set. It operates the flame height control knob on the APK-15 valve, allowing you to adjust the flame to your desired level. The switch is powered by 4 AA batteries and does not require an outside electrical source. Installation is simple and can be done in a few steps. Once installed, you can use the wall switch to turn the main burner on or off and adjust the flame height. For safety, never leave your log set operating unattended.

1. Select a location for the wall switch near the

ﬁ replace. This needs to be within 15' from the

ﬁ replace for the length of wiring supplied, and

to supply sufﬁ cient millivoltage between the wall

switch and the pilot generator.

Note: Safety valve is supplied in the Peterson APK

and burner systems.

2. At the wall switch location selected, cut out

a clearance hole for direct wall or switch box

mounting.

Note: Allow enough space to incorporate the

battery holder. We recommend using a deep

switch box (3" deep or greater).

3. Tie about 6" of chain or a small weight to a cord

to create a plumb line. Hang the plumb line from

the wall switch location to the top of the wall

baseboard. Immediately below the wall switch

location, as indicated by the plumb line, drill a

1/2" to 3/4" hole.

4. Lower the plumb line through the switch location

hole, within the stud space, down to the baseboard

level. Pull the chain or the weight out of the 1/2"

to 3/4" hole at the baseboard using a stiff hooked

wire (a bent wire coat hanger works well).

5. Remove the weight or the chain from the plumb

line. Tie one end of the wire cable to the plumb

line and pull the plumb line back up through the

wall switch location to expose several inches of

wire.

6. Feed the rocker switch assembly wiring through

the front of the wall switch cover, and snap the

rocker switch into place (see Fig. 1).

7. Connect the two terminals on the rocker switch to

the two terminals on the valve wiring (see Fig.1).

Ensure a tight connection.

8. Connect the battery holder to the connector

coming from the rocker switch assembly (see

Fig. 1).

Insert 4 AA batteries in the battery holder,

ensuring the polarities are correct.

Attach the wall switch cover to the switch box using

the 1/4" machine screws supplied.

10. Then attach the LARGE female connector of the

switch to valve wire to the OUTER male spade

located on the APK-15 valve (see Fig. 2 A & B).

Attach the SMALLER female connector to the

INNER male spade on the APK valve.

Note: This unit does not require an outside electrical source (millivolt system only).

Be sure all cautions and warnings are observed in your APK & burner system installation and

operating instructions.

Follow your APK-15 operating instructions to install the valve on your log set. Ignite the pilot according to

the lighting instructions supplied with your valve.

OPERATING YOUR PETERSON GAS LOG SET WITH THE WALL SWITCH

To use the wall switch to control the ﬂ ame height, press HI/ON and the ﬂ ame height control knob will rotate

counter-clockwise, turning the main burner on, and increasing the ﬂ ame height to your desired level (see Fig.

3A). To reduce the ﬂ ame height, press LOW/OFF. To turn the main burner off, hold the LOW/OFF switch down

until the ﬂ ame is extinguished (see Fig. 3B). Pilot will remain lit. See instructions supplied with your valve for

complete shut off.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, never leave your log set operating unattended.
