Model: TS-3
INTRODUCTION
This TS-3 wired wall thermostat was developed to provide a safe, reliable control system for gas heating appliances. The
system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the wall unit.
WALL MOUNT THERMOSTAT
The TS-3 wired thermostat operates on (2) 3V Button Cell (Included) which
powers the LCD screen and circuit board. Before using the TS-3 wall
thermostat the 3V batteries must be installed into the battery
compartments.
It is recommended that CR2032 lithium batteries always be used for
longer battery life and maximum operational performance. If the LCD screen
will not come on, check the 3V Button Cell battery.

SETTING °F / °C SCALE
The factory setting for temperature is degrees Fahrenheit (°F) . To change this setting to Centigrade (°C), you must press
and hold both the ON and OFF buttons on the transmitter at the same time until the LCD displays the change. If you want
to convert back, repeat the above procedure.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE
This SKYTECH wired wall thermostat has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO
UPDATING Feature operates in the following manner, but only in the THERMOSTAT MODE:
The TS-3 normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET
temperature and then sends a signal to the appliance.
NOTE: When locating the TS-3 on a wall remember it should be kept away from direct sources of heat such as
heating appliance, incandescent lighting, and direct sunlight. Leaving the TS-3 in direct sunlight, for example, will cause
its heat-sensing diode to read the room temperature higher than it actually is; if in THERMOSTAT mode, it may not turn
ON the appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SET temperature.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WALL MOUNTING THE TS-3 THERMOSTAT
1. Remove face from backing plate as shown in Figure 1 then locate
the TS-3 to where the (2) thermostat wires from the appliance can
be pulled through the hole on the backing plate and connect them
to the (2) terminal screws.
2. After locating the (2) two mounting holes and mark the holes on
the wall.
3. Use the (2) two dry wall anchors and screws (that are supplied) to
mount the base plate to the wall as shown.
4. Thermostat can also be mounted onto an existing (Plastic)
electrical box.
5. Base plate should be mounted level on the wall for best operation.
6. Reinstall the face to the backing plate this is done by sliding
the face in and down about 1/2” then check that the (2) male
terminal connectors on the face are engaged in the female
terminal connectors on the backing plate. As shown in Figure 1.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This TS-3 wired wall thermostat must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions
completely before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modications of the
TS-3 or any of its components will void the warranty and may be pose a re 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 specications.
WARNING

Skytech: TS-3 Wired Thermostat REV. 8-30-17 Page 4
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualied electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by
this remote should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections WILL cause damage to the gas valve or
electronic module operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote receiver.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES - ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS – OTHER APPLIANCES
This TS-3 wired wall thermostat connects to a millivolt gas valve, electronic spark ignition systems or other heating
appliances as shown below in Figure 3, Figure 4, & Figure 5. Connect 18 gauge stranded or solid wires from the TS-3
wired wall thermostat to the gas valve, or electronic module.

SYSTEM CHECK
MILLIVOLT VALVES - ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS – OTHER APPLIANCES
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Conrm that the pilot ame is
ON; it must be in operation for the main gas valve to operate, if you have an electronic ignition system check the power
source as well.
• Press the ON button on the TS-3 to turn the system to ON manually. The main ame should come ON.
• Press the OFF button on the TS-3 to turn the system to OFF manually. The main ame should extinguish (the pilot
ame will remain on if you are using a millivolt gas valve system).
• Press the SET button on the TS-3 to change the system to THERMO. Hold the SET button to set the temperature on
the TS-3 to a temperature of a least 2°F (1°C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this
manual setting, the normal thermostatic cycle is overridden and the system ame will ignite. Set the SET temperature
to at least 2°F (1°C) below the room temperature and the system ame 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°F (1°C).
The 2°F differential is the factory setting.
GENERAL INFORMATION
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of lithium button cell batteries in the TS-3 should be at least (1) season (8) months. Check and replace
both batteries annually.. The TS-3 should operate with as little as 2.4 volts of battery power, measuring at each of the
3-volt button cell batteries.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should you encounter problems with your appliance system, the problem may be with the appliance itself or it could be
with the TS-3 wired wall thermostat. Review the appliance manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections
are properly made. Then check the operation of the TS-3 in the following manner:
1. Be sure the TS-3’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.4 volts on each battery or more. If
one battery is installed backward the wired wall thermostat will not operate.
2. The TS-3 has (2) 3 volt button cell batteries (1) button cell operates the LCD screen and the other button cell powers
the PCB board. If the button cell battery that controls sending the PCB board is low or defective the LCD screen may
work but the PCB relay may not close the contact (Check each button cell battery)
3. Check that the (2) male terminal connectors on the face are engaged in the female terminal connectors on the backing
plate.
4. Check the wire connections to the TS-3 from the appliance that they are properly connected
