VALVE
RECEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter signal is again received. The intermittent 4 second
beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must
display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will
return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter the COMMUNICATION – SAFETY
feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range or should
the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
The COMMUNICATION –SAFETY feature operates in all OPERATING MODES and can be
considered a back-up to the THERMO-SAFETY feature previously described.
REMOTE RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE RECEIVER DO
NOT EXCEED 130 DEGREES F.
The remote receiver is powered by 110-120 VAC. For operational functions and personal
safety, the receiver must be properly grounded. The receiver’s power cord is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates to a standard three-prong (grounding)
receptacle minimizing the possibility of electrical shock hazard. Some fireplace products
require a grounded circuit
to operate.
WARNING
: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a shock. Do not use a 2-prong
adapter to accept the 3-prong plug from the receiver. The customer should have the
fan/blower receptacle in the FIREPLACE checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded and correctly polarized.
CAUTION:
All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and shall be in compliance with local codes and with the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-current (in the United States), or with current CSA C22.1 Canadian Code (in Canada).
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT 110-120 VAC WIRING TO THE GAS CONTROL VALVE OF THIS APPLIANCE.
The remote receiver houses the integrated circuits that respond to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. It has a 3-poition
slide switch to select the MODE of operation: OFF/REMOTE/ON.
1. With the slide switch in the ON position, the valve terminals remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
2 With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the system only operates if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
3. With the slide switch in the OFF position, the system is off. It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the off position if you will
be away from your home for an extended period of time. With the remote receiver located out of children’s reach, placing the slide
switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety “lock –out” by both turning the system off and rendering the transmitter
inoperative. You may also engage the CHILD PROOF (CP) “LOCK OUT” at the transmitter. See section CHILD-PROOF “LOCKOUT”
(CP) in later section of this manual.
WARNING
This remote control system must be installed exactly as outlined in these instructions. Read all instructions completely
before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any modifications of the SKYTECH remote
control or any of its components will void the warrant and may be pose a fire hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. 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 preceding diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or
electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to
electronic module, gas value and remote receiver.
