INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This SKYTECH remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliance. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF)
within a 20'’range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter
at the factory.
IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT:
The transmitter operates on 2AAA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE
batteries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational performance.
IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the multi-
function transmitter.
Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5 V batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the transmitter,
positioning the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries as indicated on the casing. When the batteries
are inserted, the screen (with similar numbers) will display.
Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the position of the batteries; a reversed
battery will activate the LOW battery icon.

programs have been cancelled.
4. Push the SET button to return LCD screen to normal state or wait 10 seconds and LCD screen will return to normal state automatically.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
SWING (TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL)
The thermo-transmitter operates the fireplace system whenever the ROOM
TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET
TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of a fireplace system may be 2-4
times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the
cold or drafts. A smaller “swing number” increases the number of cycles so the
room temperature is more constant. A larger “swing number” decreases the
number of cycles, which saves energy, in most cases. The factory setting for the
“swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2 0F (1 0C)
between SET temperature and ROOM temperature which determines when the
fireplace will be activated. The “SWING” number values are:
1=+/-1
0F (.5 0C), 2= +/- 2 0F (1 0C ), 3 = +/-3 0F (1.6 0C).

MANUAL CHECK OF “SWING” OR TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL
The operation of the factory set “THERMO SWING” can be checked by adjusting the SET TEMP 2 0F above or below the room
temperature. This will cause the system to turn ON or OFF. Normally the system will only respond to temperature changes every two
minutes. Manually changing the SET temperature will activate the system in less than 10 seconds. If the “SWING” is changed, then
anew room temperature differential will respond. Factory setting of SWING temperature is 2 0F.
1. To change the temperature “SWING” setting (1-3), press the AHEAD + BACK buttons simultaneously to display the current “SWING”
setting in the SET TEMP frame. The word SWING will display on the LCD screen.
2. Press the UP or DOWN button to change the temperature differential or “SWING” (1-3). See above for 1-3 “SWING” temperature
values.
3. To store the “swing number”, press the SET/RETURN button or allow 15 seconds to lapse, and the new “swing number” will be
automatically programmed.
NOTE: When the gas fireplace system is activated, a FLAME icon will display on the LCD screen indicating a signal has been sent from
the TRANSMITTER.

TRANSMITTER
OPERATING SAFETY MONITORS: SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN
The SKYTECH remote control operates on RF (radio frequency) signals that are sent by the TRANSMITTER (remote) to the RECEIVER that
operates the appliance. It is recommended that the TRANSMITTER always be located within the 20 foot operating range, preferably in the same
room in which the appliance is located.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the
following manner, but only in the THERMO and PROGRAM MODES:
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature
it sends a signal to the receiver.
SKYTECH ORIGINAL DESIGN
THERMO-SAFETY FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO-SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when the fireplace
system is in the THERMO, TIMER, and PROGRAM MODES. The THERMO-SAFETY feature is activated when the TRANSMITTER is moved
beyond the maximum recommended operating range, which is 20 feet. It is also activated when the batteries become weak or are removed from
the transmitter.
The THERMO-SAFETY operates in the following manner, but only in the ON, THERMO, TIMER, and PROGRAM MODES:
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have a negative effect on the operation of the receiver’s
microprocessors.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 1300F, the THERMISTOR will automatically
shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 4 “beeps”, every 2 seconds. When the ambient
temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 1200F and 1300F, the user can reactivate the appliance by pushing the MODE button
on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When the MODE button is pressed to ON, the THERMISTOR
“resets” itself and the fireplace will begin operating again. However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains
between 1200F and 1300F. This “beeping” alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature
drops below 1200F.
When the temperature drops below 1200F, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR by pushing the
MODE button to ON to operate the appliance, either manually or thermally. Allow sufficient time for the receiver to cool below 1200F,
and then press the MODE button to stop beeping.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button
on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to
ON, the THERMO-SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal
operation depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter. The THERMO SAFETY feature
will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range or should the
transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
We recommend the user check the batteries in the TRANSMITTER to make sure the voltage
is no less than 2.5 volts.
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This SKYTECH series remote controls has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety
when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES – ON/THERMO/TIMER/PROGRAM.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver, indicating
that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 15
minutes, the IC software, in the RECEIVER< will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If during this 2-hour period,
the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the fireplace being controlled by the receiver.
The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the

RECEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter signal is again received. The intermittent 4 second
beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must
display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will
return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter the COMMUNICATION – SAFETY
feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range or should
the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
The COMMUNICATION –SAFETY feature operates in all OPERATING MODES and can be
considered a back-up to the THERMO-SAFETY feature previously described.
REMOTE RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE RECEIVER DO
NOT EXCEED 130 DEGREES F.
The remote receiver is powered by 110-120 VAC. For operational functions and personal
safety, the receiver must be properly grounded. The receiver’s power cord is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates to a standard three-prong (grounding)
receptacle minimizing the possibility of electrical shock hazard. Some fireplace products
require a grounded circuit to operate.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a shock. Do not use a 2-prong
adapter to accept the 3-prong plug from the receiver. The customer should have the
fan/blower receptacle in the FIREPLACE checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded and correctly polarized.
CAUTION: All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and shall be in compliance with local codes and with the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-current (in the United States), or with current CSA C22.1 Canadian Code (in Canada).
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT 110-120 VAC WIRING TO THE GAS CONTROL VALVE OF THIS APPLIANCE.
The remote receiver houses the integrated circuits that respond to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. It has a 3-poition
slide switch to select the MODE of operation: OFF/REMOTE/ON.
1. With the slide switch in the ON position, the valve terminals remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
2 With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the system only operates if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
3. With the slide switch in the OFF position, the system is off. It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the off position if you will
be away from your home for an extended period of time. With the remote receiver located 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 transmitter
inoperative. You may also engage the CHILD PROOF (CP) “LOCK OUT” at the transmitter. See section CHILD-PROOF “LOCKOUT”
(CP) in later section of this manual.
WARNING
This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely
before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modifications of the SKYTECH remote
control or any of its components will void the warrant and may be pose a fire hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s
instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s
specifications.
The preceding 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 value and remote receiver.

LOCATING RECEIVER AND OPERATING FUNCTIONS
The remote receiver can be positioned under the firebox in the control compartment of the fireplace if ambient temperatures do not exceed 120
Degrees F. The remote receiver accepts commands from the transmitter and is capable of remotely operating several separate circuit functions.
This system is designed to control the following components:
WIRE COLORS
Gas Valve (Red wires) -Millivolt or electronic ignition
Fan/Blower (Blue wires) -110 VAC plug-in or in-line ON/OFF switch
NOTE: remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position
slide button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. If the system
does not respond to the transmitter on initial use, see section, MATCHING
SECURITY CODES.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES The terminal block on the receiver includes two 1/4” terminals marked VALVE. Using two, 18
ga. stranded wires (RED), with appropriate insulated connectors attached to each end, plug
one end of each wire into one of the two terminals marked VALVE on the remote receiver, and
connect the other ends of these wires to the (1) TH and (1) TH/TP terminals located on the gas
valve. It does not matter which wires go to which set of terminals at the receiver or at the gas
valve. This is a DRY CONTACT circuit and no power is provided to these terminals by the
remote receiver.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat in that both turn the gas valve
on and off. A thermostat’s input signals are from different temperatures. The remote receiver’s
input signals are sent from the transmitter, either manually or thermally.
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITION
The remote receiver can be connected to a 24VAC transformer that operates an electronic
ignition module, using the same VALVE terminals on the remote receiver to complete the 24
VAC circuit to the electronic ignition module.
Connect the neutral wire from the 24 VAC transformer to the TR (transformer) terminal on the
ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24 VAC transformer to
either VALVE terminal on the remote receiver. Connect another same-gauge wire between the
other VALVE terminal on the remote receiver to the TH (thermostat) terminal on the
ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULE.
METHOD #1
WIRING A FAN/BLOWER
NOTE: When connecting wires to the fan, make sure the 110VAC power to the fan has been
turned off!
This SKYTECH receiver provides 2 separate methods to operate a fan/blower system that may be
included with your heating appliance.
METHOD #1 PLUG FAN CORD DIRECTLY INTO REMOTE RECEIVER
On the backside of the receiver, the fan’s 2-prong or 3-prong power cord can be plugged into
the receiver’s receptacle. This receptacle provides 110/120 – 5AMP power for a fan/blower.
METHOD #2
NOTE: Some gas valves are polarized. If the remote receiver’s ON/REMOTE/OFF
functions don’t operate the gas valve, reverse the receiver wires at the TH transmitter on
the gas valve terminal block.

METHOD #2 WIRE FAN LINE TO DRY CONTACT RECEIVER TERMINALS
For fan/blower systems that are “hard wired” directly to the appliance’s internal J-BOX, and
use an in-line switch to control the fan/blower. The front of the receiver includes two 1/4”
terminals that are controlled by a “DRY CONTACT” relay. These two terminals DO NOT
provide any power to the fan/blower, they only complete a “dry contact” circuit between the
“hot” leg leading to the fan/blower. These terminals are marked FAN.
The SKYTECH receiver in this remote control system is designed to control the fan motor to either
ON or OFF. It will not operate a 3-speed or variable controller other than to turn it OFF or ON at
whatever position the switch or controller is set. If the fireplace system has a 3-speed or variable
speed fan and you wish to remotely control it ON/OFF, attach two wires from the remote receiver
to this switch. The speed selection switch will be operational, however, the receiver will only
operate the fan/blower ON or OFF at the current setting of the speed controller.
DRY CONTACT TERMINALS
There may be other sets of 1/4” terminals on the receiver which may be available
for controlling other “DRY CONTACT” functions. Refer to the SUPPLEMENTAL
DRY CONTACT instruction sheet for operation of these “DRY CONTACT”
TERMINALS.
GROUNDING THE RECEIVER
The terminal block on the receiver includes a 1/4” male terminal and a 1/4” screw
that can be used to ground the fan/blower or appliance to the 110/120 VAC circuit
powering the receiver. These connectors are marked GROUND. Using an 18
ga. Wire, usually GREEN in color, attach the grounding wire to the 1/4” terminal
on the remote receiver. You may also attach the grounding wire under the
grounding screw.
SYSTEM CHECK
MILLIVOLT VALVES
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be in operation
for the main gas valve to operate.
1. Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should ignite.
2. Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).
3. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), and then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The
main gas flame should ignite.
4. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).
5. 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 2 0F (1 0C) 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 2 0F (1 0C) 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 2 0F (1 0C). The 2 0F differential is the factory setting.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS
1. Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot (the pilot
may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should ignite.
2. Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT POWER TO FIREPLACE BEFORE
MAKING THIS CONNECTION.

REV. 3/19/05 Page 11 of 14
3. lide the button to REMOTE (the center position), and then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The
spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should
ignite.
4. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
5. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a
temperature of at least 2 0F (1 0C) 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 2 0F (1 0C) 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 2 0F (1 0C). (The 2 0F differential is the factory setting).
TIMER
The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the fireplace system 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 your connections and ensure transmitter batte4ries are fully charged. If no problem is found,
contact the dealer where your purchased your fireplace/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 by pushing in the LEARN button on the top of the
remote receiver and then pressing 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 overwrite 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.
CHILD-PROOF “LOCK –OUT” –(CP)
This SKYTECH remote control includes a CHILD-PROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to ‘LOCK –OUT” operation of the fireplace,
from the TRANSMITTER.
SETTING “LOCK-OUT” – (CP)
1. To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the UP and
TIMER/TIME buttons, together, for 5 seconds. The letters CP will
appear in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
2. To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the UP and TIMER
buttons, together for 5 seconds or more, and the letters CP will
disappear from the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its
normal operating condition.
NOTE: If the fireplace system is already operating in the ON, THERMO or PROGRAM MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the
operating MODE. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER. If in the auto modes, the THERMO
and/or PROGRAM operation will continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the TRANSMITTER’S operating signals,
the transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF.

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.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH 3301PF should be at least 12 months. Replace all batteries annually. When the
Transmitter no longer operates the receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has decreased) or the remote receiver
does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and the gas valve directly affects
the operating performance of the remote system. The Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts battery power measuring at the (2) 1.5
volt batteries.
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 the receptacle supplying power to the REMOTE RECEIVER. The output should be 110-120 VAC. If there is no power to receptacle,
check fuse or circuit breaker at main electrical panel. NOTE: Be sure receptacle is not controlled by a wall switch.
2. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 5.0 V or more.
3. 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.
4. Make sure the transmitter is within the 15’-20’ range of the receiver.
5. 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. It is suggested that a heat shield be installed to protect the receiver from
extreme heat. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, this can:
•Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communicate with the receiver.
•Cause the working distance to be shorter than normal.
NOTE: Areas that exceed 130 0F will cause the THERMO-SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning
beeps, and to “reset” the receiver’s operation.
