Skytech: CON1001-1
REV. 2-22-22 Page 4
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the CON-1001-1 can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid
function. Replace all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it
did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries
should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing combined output voltage
of at least 5.0 volts. The transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power. NOTE: Extensive use of the
Solenoid will reduce the receiver’s battery life signicantly.
NOTE: Extensive use of the Latching Solenoid (ON/OFF) will reduce the receiver’s battery life signicantly.
BATTERY LIFE
If you encounter problems with your replace system, the problem may be with the replace itself or it could be with the
CON-1001-1 remote system. Review the replace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are
properly made. Then check the operation of the remote in the following manner:
1. Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from
operating properly.
2. Check battery in TRANSMITTER to ensure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in
for tighter t.
3. Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER is within 20 to 25-feet operating range.
4. Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 120° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
115° F.
5. If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
6. Clear Codes: Memory in the receiver might be full if the learn button is pressed too many times. If this happens it will
not allow any more codes to be learned and no audible beep will be heard. To clear memory, place the receiver slide
switch into the REMOTE position. Press the learn button and release after 10 seconds. You should hear three (3)
long audible beeps indicating all codes have cleared. You can now “learn” the transmitter to the receiver as described
in the General Information Section.

SPECIFICATIONS
BATTERIES: Transmitter 12V - (A23)
Remote Receiver 6V- 4 ea. AA 1.5 Alkaline
Operating Frequency: 303.8 MHZ
OPERATION
1. This remote control will operate the gas valves latching solenoid to open the gas ow to full ON.
2. When the ON button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a pulse
of 6-volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then opens the gas ow to the burner then to full ON.
3. When the OFF button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a pulse
of 6- volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then closes the gas ow to the burner then to full OFF.
4. The remote control will only work with the hand held transmitter. The receiver slide switch is only for positive OFF or
REMOTE operation.
