THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is temperature-
activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed 130
0
F degrees
inside the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the receiver’s
microprocessors.
For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when temperatures
exceed 115
0
F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 115
0
F, can lose up to 50% of their operating
power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life
expectancy.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130
0
F, the THERMISTOR will automatically shut the
appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the ambient temperature, at the
RECEIVER, drops between 120
0
F and 130
0
F, 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 120
0
F and 130
0
F. This “beeping”
alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120
0
F.
When the temperature drops below 120
0
F, 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 120
0
F, and then press
MODE
button to stop beeping.
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 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 any 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.
TRANSMITTER WALL CLIP
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the clip provided. If the clip is installed on a
solid wood wall, drill 1/8" pilot holes and install with the screws provided. If it is installed
on a plaster/wallboard wall, first drill two 1/4" holes into the wall. Then use a hammer to
tap in the two plastic wall anchors flush with the wall; then install the screws provided.
