S/N 156271 that worked fine through the winter. The following fall we put fresh batteries in the receiver and remote and it stopped working correctly.
The code switches are all in the off position and the CP is not on. I am not sure if it is paired with the receiver or if one or the other is not working.
I do not get a beep from the receiver in trying to pair but I'm not sure if it even does that on this model. With out a manual not sure. How do I troubleshoot this?
The receiver for this model does indeed beep when paired. If it does not, the system may be defective and require replacement. The pairing procedure is as follows. Remove the batteries from the remote and the receiver. Ensure the code switches match on both devices. Install batteries in the receiver only.
Switch the receiver off. Install batteries in the remote. Switch the receiver to the remote position. Push any button on the remote. When a button on the remote is pushed, the set should again be paired and a beep should be emitted from the receiver. If not, the set is likely defective.

I plugged the receiver into the TH and TH/TP terminals, installed the batteries in both the receiver and the remote, and heard the beep indicating that the transmitter and receiver had successfully paired. In general, I would say that the remote does not operate properly, but in certain circumstances it will turn the fire on and off.
I'm still trying to completely understand what these circumstances are, but they appear to be related to whether or not I have attempted to use the remote while the fire was activated via the manual on/off switch which shares the TH and TH/TP terminals. Specifically, if I turn the fire on manually via the on/off switch, and then try to turn it off with the remote, nothing will happen, But if I then turn the fire off manually, the remote will operate properly for at least a short time. The wiring may be difficult to see, but I have enclosed an image below.
