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; the remote receiver’s code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.

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 transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends of

the batteries as indicated on the casing. When the batteries are inserted, the screen below (with

similar numbers) will display.

Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the

position of the batteries.

Note: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring components in

the transmitter, it may be necessary to allow the transmitter to

stabilize to room temperature before accurate room temperatures

are displayed on the screen. If the transmitter is activated from a

severe cold condition, it can take up to fifteen minutes for accurate

temperature readings to appear.

LCD DISPLAY SCREEN

1. PROGRAM FOR: Flashes when programming days of week and periods of the

day. When in normal state, only current DAY displays. When programming or in

PROGRAM mode, both day and week will appear.

2. DAY –Flashes when current day or day of week is being programmed.

3. PERIOD – Flashes when current period of day or period of week is being

programmed.

4. MODE – Indicates operation MODE of system.

• ON indicates the system is on, either manually, thermostatically, or program.

• Off indicates the entire system is turned off.

• THERMO indicates the system will automatically cycle ON/OFF, depending on

programmed SET temperature.

• PROGRAM – indicates the system is operating with PROGRAMMED settings.

5. START AT – Flashes when programming the time to turn system ON.

6. SET – Indicates desired SET room temperature, when in THERMO or PROGRAM

mode.

F /

C – Factory programmed in

F. (

C indicates degrees in Celsius)

8. TIME/TEMP – Displays the CURRENT room temperature. In same frame, the

current time will display in AM or PM. You must depress the TIME/TIMER button to

display current time.

9. LOW – Battery power is low. Replace batteries within 2 weeks.

10. TIMER – When displayed, indicates countdown timer in operation.

11. OVERRIDE – Displays when “programmed” SET temperature is overridden.

12. FLAME – Single flame symbol indicates burner/valve is operational.

13. HOLD – Displays when “programmed” SET temperature is overridden and will hold

that temperature until cancelled.

14. CP – Displays when CHILD PROOF “LOCK OUT” is engaged. Pressing the UP

and TIMER buttons together, engages CP.

15. SWING- Displays in SET frame when setting TEMPERATURE DIFFERNTIAL.

Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and THERMO SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE

RECEIVER section. These signal/temperature safety features shut down the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

3301P INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE 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.

FUNCTIONS SU To operate the system, press the MODE button on the transmitter to select the operational MODE desired. • ON indicates the system is on, either manually, timed, thermostatically, or program • THERMO indicates the system will automatically cycle ON/OFF, depending on programmed set temperature. • OFF indicates the entire system is turned off. • PROGRAM indicates the system will automatically cycle ON/OFF in the programmed mode depending on the 7 day/4 period program that is in memory.

SETTING THE CURRENT HOUR AND MINUTES 1. 2 SU 2. MODE UP DOWN 3. TIMER TIME 3 AM TIME SET AHEAD PROG BACK 4. 5. Following Step 3 on the previous page, the HOUR digits will begin flashing in the TIME frame on the LCD screen. To set the current HOUR, press the UP or DOWN button setting the HOUR for the corresponding AM/PM time period. After setting the current HOUR, press the SET button on the front of the transmitter, and the MINUTE digits will begin flashing on the LCD screen.

PROGRAM FOR SU MORN 4 To program the START TIME, press the UP or DOWN button. Programmed start time settings are in 15 minute segments. The new set time will display on the LCD screen. 5 When the desired START TIME displays, press the PROG button and the SET TEMPERATURE will flash on the LCD screen. 6 To program the SET TEMPERATURE, press the UP or DOWN button. 7 When the desired SET TEMPERATURE displays, then press the PROG button.

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.

2. Then press the UP or DOWN button to select the DESIRED room 0 0 temperature. The highest SET temperature is 99 F ( 32 C ). 0 0 The lowest SET temperature is 45 F ( 6 C ). 3. The TRANSMITTER will “sense” the room temperature every two minutes automatically turning the fireplace ON or OFF thermostatically.
PAGE 7
LOW/BATTERY INDICATOR The word LOW outlined by a battery on the left side of the LCD screen will appear when battery power has dropped significantly. At this time, approximately two weeks of battery power remains until the transmitter may experience partial or complete loss of functions. NOTE: A reversed battery will activate the LOW battery icon.

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 temperature0 activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed 130 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.
PAGE 9
WALL MOUNTING Install 4 AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction. 5.
PAGE 10
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS The remote control receiver can be connected, in series, to a 24VAC transformer to the TR (transformer) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC transformer to either of the wire terminals on the remote receiver. Connect another wire (not included) between the other receiver wire terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE.
PAGE 11
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.

3. 4. 5. 6. 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.
