INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

SKYTECH’S remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating

appliances. Its battery operation allows the system to operate independently of household current. The system operates on radio frequencies

with non-directional signals. The SYSTEMS operating range is approximately 20 feet. The system operates on one of 255 security codes

programmed at the factory.

COMPONENTS

WALL TRANSMITTER

The transmitter operate on a 12V battery (included) made specifically for remote controls and electronic lighters.

To replace the battery on the Wall Transmitter, you must remove the four screws on the face of the Wall

Transmitter to gain access to the battery compartment. (These screws are directly behind the Decora Wall Plate)

It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational

performance.

The Wall Transmitter has ON and OFF functions that are activated by pressing the ON/OFF rocker switch on the

Wall Transmitter. Before using the Wall Transmitter, remove the insulation tab protecting one end of the battery

in the battery compartment. When the ON/OFF rocker switch on the Wall Transmitter is pressed, a signal light on

the Wall Transmitter illuminates briefly to verify that a signal has been 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. If the signal light does not

illuminate, check the position of the transmitters’ battery.

REMOTE RECEIVER

IMPORTANT: THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

WILL NOT EXCEED 130 DEGREE F.

The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA- size batteries (included). It is recommended that ALKALINE

batteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully

charged batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote receiver.

NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the Wall Transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote

receiver is in the REMOTE (center) position.

The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the Wall Transmitter to control

system operation. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch (see figure at right) for selecting the mode of

operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF.

WARNING

THE SKYTECH 1001D MUST BE INSTALLED EXACTLY

AS OUTLINED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS. FOLLOW

INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY DURING INSTALLATION.

ANY MODIFICATION OF THE SKYTECH 1001D OR ANY

OF ITS COMPONENTS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

AND MAY POSE A FIRE HAZARD.

REMOTE RECEIVER (Continued) • • • • With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the word TOP), the system will remain on until the slide 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 receiver receives commands from the Wall Transmitter. Upon initial use or after an extended period of no use the ON button must be pressed for up to five seconds.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING DO NOT CONNECT REMOTE RECEIVER DIRECTLY TO 110-120 VAC POWER. THIS WILL BURN OUT THE REMOTE RECEIVER AND THE ELECTRONIC MODULE. 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 DIAGRAMS THAT FOLLOW ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM MANUFACTURER OF GAS VALVE AND/OR ELECTRONIC MODULE FOR CORRECT WIRING PROCEDURES.

GENERAL INFORMATION BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH 1001D should be at least 12 months. Replace all batteries annually. When the Transmitter or Wall 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. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.
