instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to
manufacturer’s specications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/
or electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to
electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.
WARNING

Skytech: 1001D-A REV. 11-14-18 Page 3
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box (not metal) or placed on or near the
replace hearth. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its
electronic components from the heat produced by the gas appliance. The remote receiver should be kept away from
temperatures exceeding 130º F. Battery life is also signicantly shortened if batteries are exposed to temperatures 130ºF
or higher.
Before installation make sure the remote receiver slide switch is in the OFF position. After installation be sure that the
slide switch is moved to the REMOTE position.
MOUNTING THE REMOTE RECEIVER
When wall mounting the remote receiver, longer wires (not included) are required to connect to the gas valve or electronic
module. These wires must: Be at least 18 Gauge (AWG), no longer than 20-feet and have no splices.
To attach Cover Plate to Receiver Box:
• Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower tab on cover plate inserted into groove of receiver
(Make sure LEARN hole on cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver). Pull receiver up and snap into top tab of
cover plate.
• Position the cover plate so the word ON is facing up; then, install the remote receiver into the plastic switch-box using
the two long screws provided. Push the white button over the receiver slide switch.

The remote receiver can be placed on the replace hearth
or under the replace behind the control access panel.
Use the wires attached to the remote receiver to connect to
the gas valve or the electric module (piggyback connectors
have both male and female terminals for exibility).
Be sure that the connectors do not touch each other or
other bare metal surfaces; this will cause the appliance to
turn ON. The connectors may be wrapped with electrical
tape to prevent this.

Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept
the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from
your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on
the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. The
LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screw-
driver or end of a paperclip gently press and release the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you release the
LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”. After the receiver emits the beep press the transmitter ON or OFF
button for approximately 2 seconds and release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s
code has been accepted into the receiver.
