OPERATIONAL NOTE: TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN ROOM TEMPERATURE ARE ONLY UPDATED EVERY TWO
MINUTES.
The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from
the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an
appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the
“swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2
0
F (1
0
C between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which
determines when the fireplace will be activated.
The transmitter has ON/HI and LO/OFF functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on
the transmitter is pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be a
delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's design. If the signal light does
not illuminate, check the position of the transmitter's battery.
POWER SETTING - 1001SR or 1001P
The electronics in the remote control system have the capability of "powering" two different types of DC -powered components.
The RECEIVER comes from the factory programmed to provide continuous DC voltage (4.5 VDC to 6.0 VDC) to a servo motor and is referred
to as the SKYTECH 1001SR/P setting.
The RECEIVER can be reprogrammed, by the user, to provide "pulse" DC voltage ( 3.0 VDC) to a latching relay-solenoid and is referred to as
the SKYTECH 1001P setting.
Depending on the type of gas valve and/or solenoid controlling the gas flow in your fireplace system, the RECEIVER needs to be programmed
to the proper "power setting". To change the factory "power setting" from the 1001SR to the 1001P setting, first load the RECEIVER with a 4-
AA batteries as instructed in the REMOTE RECEIVER SECTION which follows. Then:
• Slide switch on RECEIVER to the remote position.
• Then push and hold in the LEARNING BUTTON on the front of the RECEIVER.
You will hear a continuous "beep sound" for about three seconds. Then, still holding in
the LEARN button, the "beep sound" will stop for about four seconds and then a second
"beep sound" of a different pitch, will be heard. The conversion from the 1001SR setting
to 1001P setting is complete. To reprogram RECEIVER to the 1001SR setting, repeat
process and receiver will reset to 1001SR setting.
• The LEARN button is used to set the unique security code for your remote control system.
The SECURITY CODE is reset during the "power setting" process.
REMOTE RECEIVER
IMPORTANT
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.
The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA-size batteries. It is recommended that
ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance.
IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote
receiver as a servo motor's power consumption is substantially higher than standard remote
control systems.
NOTE: Th e remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 2-position slide
button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. The remote receiver houses the
microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation.
FUNCTIONS:
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the system will only
operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
Upon initial use or after an extended period of no use, the ON button
may have to be pressed for up to three seconds before activating servo
motor. If the system does not respond to the transmitter on initial use,
see Matching Security Codes.
• With the slide in the OFF position, the system is off.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the OFF position if you
will be away from your home for an extended period of time. Placing the
