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 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.
CHILDPROOF “LOCK –OUT”
–(CP)
This SKYTECH remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to “LOCK –OUT” operation of the fireplace,
from the TRANSMITTER.
SETTING “LOCK-OUT” – (CP)
1. To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the UP
and
TIMER/TIME
buttons, together, for 5 seconds. The letters CP will appear
in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
2. To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the UP
and TIMER/TIME
buttons, together for 5 seconds or more, and the letters CP will disappear
from the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its normal operating
condition.
NOTE
: If the fireplace system is already operating in the ON, THERMO or PROGRAM MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the
operating MODE. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER
. If in the auto modes, the THERMO
and/or PROGRAM operation will continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the TRANSMITTER’S operating
signals, the transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF.
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 3301P 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 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.)
2. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.5 V or more.
