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.
