INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE

INTRODUCTION

This remote control system was developed to adapt most Skytech Remote Receivers to be operated by Smartplugs which

are a part of many Home Automation Systems.

The 8001TX can be added to most pre-existing Skytech remote control systems already installed on an appliance or

replace. Many Skytech receivers can LEARN up to 3 security codes and you can continue to use your existing transmit-

ter along with 8001TX. Some receivers can LEARN only 1 security code and the 8001TX would replace your existing

transmitter. Please check with a Skytech dealer or call us directly at the number listed at the end of this manual if you

need help determining the compatibility or features of your current receiver.

The system operates on radio frequencies with non-directional signals. The systems operating range is approximately

30-feet. The system operates on one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory.

USB

Transmitter

This “Smart Plug Transmitter” system is designed to be used in conjunction with a WI-FI or

Bluetooth “Smart Plug” that is controlled by a voice command system (i.e. Alexa or Google)

or an app downloaded on a smart phone.

The Smart Plug recieves a WI-FI command or a Bluetooth command which creates a chain

of command to: 1. Power the Smart Plug with 120VAC. 2. Powers a USB phone charger

with 120VAC. 3. Energizes the Smart Adapter Transmitter (5VDC) to send an ON command

via Radio Frequency (RF) to a typical Skytech receiver to turn ON a gas appliance or

heater. See Basic Operation diagram on page 2.

Note: The USB phone charger may be omitted if the Smart Plug has a switchable USB

outlet.

NOTE: This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or re feature. Adults must be present when

the Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance

or re feature when adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or re feature

burning unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or

re feature for any length of time, then the handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the

“OFF” position.
