•Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to
a temperature of a least 20F (10C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this manual setting, the
normal thermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET temperature to at least 20F (10C) below the
room temperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle to on and off
thermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differential
between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 20F (10C). The 20F differential is the factory setting.
TIMER
The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the appliance is in an operating mode, set the
countdown timer to turn off in 15 minutes. The timer function will allow operation to continue until the countdown “time” on the LCD
screen expires. After 15 minutes elapses, the system should turn OFF.
If you have any problems with operation, recheck you connections and ensure transmitter batteries are fully charged. If no problem is
found, contact the dealer where you purchased your appliance/remote control.
GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 1,048,576 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the
security code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer
or the factory. When matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT
“LEARN” if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code Push and
Release the LEARN button on the top of the remote receiver and then Press the MODE button on the transmitter. A change in the
beeping pattern, at the receiver, indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is
matched to a new transmitter, the new security code will override the old one.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in
matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1-2 minutes before trying again – this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its
timer circuitry – and try up to two or three more times.
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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the
SKYTECH remote control. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made.
Then check the operation of the SKYTECH remote in the following manner:
1. Check connections from the receiver to the control valve for good positive connections. (Move the slide switch on the receiver to
the ON position if the appliance operates this will confirm that the wiring connections should be good).
2. Check for power from the thermopile to the receiver the voltage with the main burner OFF be no less than 450 millivolts. (Press the
learn button on the receiver if there is a beep sound from the receiver this will confirm there is power to the receiver from the
thermopile).
3. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.5 V or more.
4. Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
•If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter they are communicating.
•If the receiver does not beep when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter, you will need to teach the receiver the
code of the transmitter. This is done by holding the LEARN button down on the receiver and at the same time depress the
MODE button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver indicates the transmitter’s code has been
programmed into the receiver.
5. Make sure the transmitter is within the 15’-20’ range of the receiver.
6. Positioning of the receiver is important. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, the operation of the receiver may be
affected as noted below. Reposition the receiver to improve operating range. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, this
can:
