Why get up when you don't have to? The Real Fyre VR-1A Variable Receiver/Transmitter Set puts full flame control at your fingertips — from the comfort of your favorite chair. Designed specifically for Real Fyre millivolt-based variable flame systems, this complete kit lets you raise the ambiance or dial things back without ever leaving your seat.
The transmitter and receiver communicate within an impressive 20-foot operating range, so whether you're across the living room or settling in for the evening, you're always in control. With 64,000 unique security codes, you can rest easy knowing your fireplace is responding to you and only you — no accidental flame changes from a neighbor's remote or a stray signal.
Control is straightforward and intuitive: the ON/HI and LO/OFF functions allow you to bring your flame up to a full, impressive height or bring it down to a warm, intimate flicker. The receiver delivers up to 6 VDC output to the servo motor, providing precise, reliable variable flame adjustment every time.
The complete kit includes the receiver unit, the transmitter, all required batteries (a 12V A-23 for the transmitter and four 1.5V AA batteries for the receiver), and a plastic cover for a clean, finished installation. With alkaline batteries in the receiver, you can expect up to 12 months of battery life — depending on how often you use the servo, of course. That's a full year of cozy evenings without hunting down a battery drawer.
Compatibility Details: The VR-1A is designed for use with the Real Fyre APK-15 and APK-17 pilot kits. Wiring for the APK-15 system is included in the box. If your system uses an APK-17 valve, you will need to order the WH-01 wire harness separately — don't skip this step or the installation will be incomplete. This system is compatible with both vented and vent-free Real Fyre burners that support millivolt-based variable flame control.
Please note: the VR-1A is not compatible with electronic ignition (EPK) systems or match-lit systems. If you're unsure which pilot kit or ignition system your fireplace uses, we recommend confirming your setup before ordering. Our team is always happy to help you find the right match.
For Real Fyre enthusiasts who want a seamless, refined remote control experience — without unnecessary complexity — the VR-1A delivers exactly what it promises: reliable, elegant control of your flame, night after night.
