THERMO FUNCTION
When the transmitter is in the THERMO mode, it should be kept away from direct sources of heat such as
fireplaces, incandescent lighting, and direct sunlight. Leaving the transmitter in direct sunlight, for example,
will cause its heat-sensing diode to read the room temperature higher than it actually is; if in THERMO mode,
it may not turn on the appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SET temperature.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it
could be with the SKYTECH remote control. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make
sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the SKYTECH remote in the following
manner:
1. Check connections from the receiver to the control valve for good positive connections. (Move the slide
switch on the receiver to the ON position if the appliance operates this will confirm that the wiring connections
should be good).
2. Check for power from the thermopile to the receiver the voltage with the main burner OFF be no less than
450 millivolts. (Press the learn button on the receiver if there is a beep sound from the receiver this will
confirm there is power to the receiver from the thermopile).
3. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.5 V or more.
4. Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
• If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter they are communicating.
• If the receiver does not beep when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter, you will need to
teach the receiver the code of the transmitter. This is done by holding the LEARN button down on the receiver
and at the same time depress the MODE button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the
receiver indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver.
5. Make sure the transmitter is within the 15’-20’ range of the receiver.
6. Positioning of the receiver is important. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, the operation of
the receiver may be affected as noted below. Reposition the receiver to improve operating range. If the
receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, this can:
• Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communicate with the receiver.
• Cause the working distance to be shorter than normal.
NOTE: A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperature inside the case exceeds 160℉, will
cause THERMOSAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps,
and to “reset” the receiver’s operation.
7. Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and heat
conditions to the receiver, some units may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is
made to improve the communication and operating distance between the transmitter and the receiver. See
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT.
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT & RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT
A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise
about 5 degrees or a maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the distance problem.
B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original position and then turn adjustment
screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment screw, in either direction, you will
go past the proper setting (tuning).
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH 3301 BE should be at least 12 months. Replace all
batteries annually. When the Transmitter no longer operates the 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 in the transmitter. The Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts of battery power,
measuring at the (2) 1.5 volt batteries.
