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

appliance. 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.

IMPORTANT:

The transmitter operates on 2AAA-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 (with similar numbers) will display.

Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the position of the batteries; a reversed

battery will activate the LOW battery icon.

LCD DISPLAY SCREEN

1. PROGRAM FOR: Flashes when programming days of week and periods of

the day. When in normal state, only current DAY displays. When

programming or in PROGRAM mode, both day and week will appear.

2. DAY –Flashes when current day or day of week is being programmed.

3. PERIOD – Flashes when current period of day or period of week is being

programmed.

4. 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 SET temperature - PROGRAM – indicates the

system is operating with PROGRAMMED settings.

5. START AT – Flashes when programming the time to turn system ON.

6. SET – Indicates desired SET room temperature, when in THERMO or

PROGRAM mode.

7. F

/ C

– Factory programmed in F

. (C

indicates degrees in Celsius)

8. TIME/TEMP – Displays the CURRENT room temperature. In same frame,

the current time will display in AM or PM. You must depress the

TIME/TIMER button to display current time.

9. LOW – Battery power is low. Replace batteries within 2 weeks.

10. TIMER – When displayed, indicates countdown timer in operation.

11. OVERRIDE – Displays when “programmed” SET temperature is overridden.

12. FLAME – Single flame symbol indicates burner/valve is operational.

13. HOLD – Displays when “programmed” SET temperature is overridden and will

hold that temperature until cancelled.

14. CP – Displays when CHILD PROOF “LOCK OUT” is engaged. Pressing the

UP and TIMER buttons together, engages CP.

15. SWING- Displays in SET frame when setting TEMPERATURE

DIFFERNTIAL.

16. FAN – Indicates the fan is ON (when fan blade displayed), the word OFF

indicates fan is OFF.

Before operating remote control, transmitter and receiver must have

matching security codes. See section: MATCHING SECURITY CODES

Review THERMO SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and

RECEIVER section. These signal/temperature safety features shut down

the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

SETTING THE CURRENT HOUR AND MINUTES 2 1. Following Step 3 on the previous page the HOUR digits will begin flashing in the TIME frame on the LCD screen. 2. To set the current HOUR, press the UP or DOWN button setting the HOUR for the corresponding AM/PM time period. 3. After setting the current HOUR, press the SET button on the front of the transmitter, and the MINUTE digits will begin flashing on the LCD screen. 4. To set the current MINUTES, press the UP or DOWN button setting to the correct MINUTES.

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 0 anew room temperature differential will respond.

The current TIME of day will appear in the TIME/TEMP frame replacing the temperature reading. The TEMPERATURE will reappear in 15 seconds, or you can press the SET button to cancel the display of the time.

TRANSMITTER OPERATING SAFETY MONITORS: SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN The SKYTECH remote control operates on RF (radio frequency) signals that are sent by the TRANSMITTER (remote) to the RECEIVER that operates the appliance. It is recommended that the TRANSMITTER always be located within the 20 foot operating range, preferably in the same room in which the appliance is located. THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX) This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software.

RECEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter signal is again received. The intermittent 4 second beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year. To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen.
PAGE 9
LOCATING RECEIVER AND OPERATING FUNCTIONS The remote receiver can be positioned under the firebox in the control compartment of the fireplace if ambient temperatures do not exceed 120 Degrees F. The remote receiver accepts commands from the transmitter and is capable of remotely operating several separate circuit functions.

METHOD #2 WIRE FAN LINE TO DRY CONTACT RECEIVER TERMINALS For fan/blower systems that are “hard wired” directly to the appliance’s internal J-BOX, and use an in-line switch to control the fan/blower. The front of the receiver includes two 1/4” terminals that are controlled by a “DRY CONTACT” relay. These two terminals DO NOT provide any power to the fan/blower, they only complete a “dry contact” circuit between the “hot” leg leading to the fan/blower. These terminals are marked FAN.

3. 4. 5. lide the button to REMOTE (the center position), and then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should ignite. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO.
PAGE 12
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.
