INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

This SKYTECH remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating

appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF)

within a 20'’range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the

transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver’s code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.

The transmitter operates on 2 AAA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE

batteries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational performance.

IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the multi-

function transmitter. Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5 V batteries into the battery compartment on the back

of the transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries as indicated on the casing.

When the batteries are inserted, the screen at right (with

similar numbers) will display.

Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen,

check the position of the batteries.

Note: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring

components in the transmitter, it may be necessary to

allow the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature

before accurate room temperatures are displayed on

the screen. If the transmitter is activated from a

severe cold condition, it can take up to fifteen minutes

for accurate temperature readings to appear.

1. LOW- Battery power is low. Replace batteries within two weeks.

2. TIMER- Indicates time remaining before system shuts off, when timer-programmed;

9-hour maximum setting.

3. MODE- Indicates operation MODE of system. ON indicates the system is on, either

manually or thermostatically. OFF indicates the entire system is turned off

THERMO indicates the system will automatically cycle on/off, depending on

programmed

4. SET- Indicates desire SET room temperature for THERMO operation

5. FLAME – Indicates burner/valve in operation.

6. CLOCK – Indicates the current time in AM/PM

7. ROOM – Indicates CURRENT room temperature.

F indicates degrees Fahrenheit (

C indicates degrees Celsius).

FUNCTIONS

To operate the system, press the MODE

button on the front of the transmitter to select the

operational MODE desired.

• ON indicates the system is on, either manually, timed or thermostatically.

• THERMO indicates the system will automatically cycle ON/OFF, depending

• on programmed set temperature.

• OFF indicates the entire system is turned off.

Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and THERMO SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE

RECEIVER section. These signal/temperature safety features shut down the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

3301-A INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE INTRODUCTION This SKYTECH remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20'’range using non-directional signals.

Flip down the plastic cover on the front of the transmitter to expose the “SET” buttons. The flip cover protects the SET buttons from being changed accidentally. Close the cover after completing the following settings/programming. Flashing numbers on the display indicate the system is awaiting user input, such as using the UP and DOWN buttons to program a new setting.
PAGE 3
MANUAL CHECK OF “ SWING” OR TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL 0 The operation of the factory set “THERMO SWING” can be checked by adjusting the SET TEMP 2 F above or below the room temperature. This will cause the system to turn ON or OFF. Normally the system will only respond to temperature changes every two minutes. Manually changing the SET temperature will activate the system in less than 10 seconds. IF the “SWING” is changed, then a new room temperature 0 differential will respond.

COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX) This SKYTECH remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the receiver. The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES – ON/ ON THERMO/ ON TIMER.

0 When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130 F, the THERMISTOR will automatically shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the ambient temperature, at the 0 0 RECEIVER, drops between 120 F and 130 F, the user can reactivate the appliance by pushing the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen.

NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see MATCHING SECURITY CODES, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver. MILLIVOLT VALVE Remote Receiver ADJ.

• • • • • Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot (the pilot may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should ignite. Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON.

2. 3. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.5 V or more. 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.
