INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(This Remote System is to be used on the Robert/Shaw HI/LO Valve Only)

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.

IMPORTANT:

TRANSMITTER

IMPORTANT:

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 compartment on the back of the

transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries as indicated on the

casing. When the batteries

are inserted, the screen (with similar numbers) will display.

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

batteries; a reversed battery will activate the LOW battery icon.

LCD DISPLAY

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

display.

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 or thermostatically. 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.

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.

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/NPFA No. 70current (in the United States), or with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada). 12. FLAME – Single or double flame symbol indicates burner/valve is operational. 13. HOLD – Displays when “programmed” SET temperature is overridden and will hold that temperature until cancelled or next program period change. 14.

SETTING THE CURRENT DAY OF THE WEEK 1. Following Step 3 on the previous page, the symbol SU will begin flashing on the LCD screen. 2. To change to the CURRENT day of the week, press the AHEAD or BACK button on the front of the transmitter. 3. After setting/confirming the current Day of the week, press the SET button on the front of the transmitter. NOTE: You will need to press the SET button, confirming SU, if that is the current day.

PROGRAMMING DAYS/PERIOD OF DAY/SET TEMPERATURES PERIOD DAY MORN EVE DAY NITE TIME/TEMP PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER SU The user may change the built-in time and temperature programs to suit their personal schedule. Each day is divided into four periods: MORNING, DAY, EVENING, AND NIGHT. A blank programming chart is provided to the left to record your customized time and temperature settings.
PAGE 5
PROGRAM REVIEW PROGRAM FOR If you want to review the settings for either the FACTORY program and/or your CUSTOMIZED program, you may do so by pressing the PROG button for one second. To review other settings, press the PROG button allowing one second between each press of the PROG button. If you press the PROG button for 4 seconds, then you go into the programming process. Press the SET button should you hold the PROG button too long.

2. 3. Then press the UP or DOWN button to select the DESIRED room 0 0 temperature. The highest SET temperature is 99 F (32 C). The 0 0 lowest SET temperature is 45 F (6 C). The TRANSMITTER will “sense” the room temperature every two minutes automatically turning the fireplace ON or OFF thermostatically.
PAGE 7
3. 4. countdown times are 15 min., 30 min, 45 min, 1 hr, 1 hr 30 min, 2 hr, 2 hr 30 min, and each additional half hour up to nine hours. To set the TIMER press the SET button on the transmitter. If the system is ON, it will remain on until the “timer time” has expired. If the system is in the THERMO mode, it will turn ON and OFF as the room temperature requires until the “timer time” has expired. To cancel the TIMER operation, press the TIMER/TIME button for more than 2 seconds.
PAGE 8
LOW/BATTERY INDICATOR WE ON THERMO 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.

WARNING This SKYTECH 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 modification of the SKYTECH remote control or any of its components will void the warranty and may pose a fire hazard. Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120 VAC power.
PAGE 10
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITION The remote receiver can be connected to a 24 VAC transformer that operates an electronic ignition module, using the same VALVE terminals on the remote receiver to complete the 24 VAC circuit to the electronic ignition module. ELECTRONIC MODULE TR TH 110/24VAC Transformer neutral wire 24VAC hot wire to 24VAC input 1 2 3 4 5 6 Connect the neutral wire from the 24 VAC transformer to the TR (transformer) terminal on the ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULE.

WIRING THE FLAME CONTROLLER 3 VDC “Pulse” Latching Solenoid Jam Nut Plunger Connect the two ORANGE 18-gauge wires from the remote receiver to the spade terminals on the flame controller. It does not matter which wire goes to the terminal. The input voltage to the flame controller has been changed from 24VAC to 24VDC within the remote. CAUTION: DO NOT ATTACH WIRES FROM THE FLAME CONTROLLER TERMINALS TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK ON THE GAS VALVE.

an extreme heat condition occurs at the receiver, (especially the battery-operated receiver), the fireplace may not be able to process the transmitter’s thermal signal and the fireplace may not shut down causing a high heat condition in the home. 0 When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130 F, the THERMISTOR will automatically shut the fireplace system down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds.
PAGE 13
TIMER The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the fireplace system 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 your connections and ensure transmitter batteries are fully charged.
PAGE 14
BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH 3324R should be at least 12 months. Replace all batteries annually. When the 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. The Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts of battery power, measuring at the (2) 1.5 volt batteries.
