INTRODUCTION
SKYTECH’S remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliances. This all battery system operates independently of household current. The system operates on radio frequencies with a
non-directional signals. The SYSTEM’s operating range is approximately 20 feet range. The system operates on 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
transmitt er prior to initial use.
Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and THERMO SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE
RECEIVER section. These signal /temperature safet y feat ures shut down the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control
that operates most millivolt gas v alves use d in some he ater rated g as logs, ga s
fireplaces and other gas heating appli ances.
The transmitter operates on (2) 1.5V AAA batteries.
It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life
and maximum operational performance.
Before using the transmitter, install the (2) AAA transmitter batteries into the
battery compartment. (Use caution that batteries are installed in the proper
direction)

OPERATIONAL NOTES:
The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appli ance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of
degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This vari ation is cal led t he “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal
operating cycle of an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how wel l the room or home is insulated fr om the cold or drafts.
The factory set ti ng for the “swing number” is 2. This represent s a temperature variat ion of +/- 2
0
F (10 C) between SET temperature
and ROOM temperature, which determines when the fireplace wil l be act ivated. This function i s pre- set at the factory.
The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a
button on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OF will appear on the LCD screen to show while the signal is being sent. Upon
initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's
design.
REMOTE RECEIVER
IMPORTANT
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.
The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteri es. It is recommended that ALKALINE batter ies be used for longer battery life
and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essent ial for proper operation of the
remote re c e iv e r.
The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the tr ansm itter to control syst em operation. It emits
one beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling on and off autom atically in THERMO mode.
The remote receiver has a 3-position slide swit ch for selecting the MODE of oper ati on: ON/REMOTE/OFF
• With the sli de swit ch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will
remain on until the sl ide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if
the remote recei ver receives commands from the tra n s m i tter.
• With the sli de switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the system is
off.
• It is suggested t hat the slide switch be placed in the off position if you will be
away from your home for an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is
mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position also
functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off and rendering the
remote receiver inoperative.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the
receiver case. Batt ery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high t em peratures.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace heart h or under the fireplace, behind the
control access panel . Position where the ambient t em perature inside the receiver case
does not exceed 130º F.
NOTE: Black Button is used on Heart h Mount Applications.
