• 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.
• Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), 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.
• Press the MODE
button on the transmitter to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
• 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
0
F (1
0
C) 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
0
F (1
0
C) 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
0
F (1
0
C). (The 2
0
F 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 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 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.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH 3301-A should be at least 12 months. Check and 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 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and the gas
valve directly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver
signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. The Transmitter or Wall Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts of 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. Make sure receiver batteries are installed properly. If one battery is installed backward, receiver will not operate in remote mode. Be sure
battery output is 2.5 volts or more. (Slide switch is independent of battery condition.)
