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.
TRANSMITTER
OPERATING SAFETY MONITORS: SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN
The SKYTECH remote control operates on RF (radio frequency) signals that are sent by the TRANSMITTER (remote) to the
RECEIVER that operates the appliance. It is recommended that the TRANSMITTER always
be located within the 20 foot operating
range, preferably in the same room in which the appliance is located.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates
in the following manner, but only in the THERMO and PROGRAM MODES
:
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET
temperature it sends a signal to the receiver.
SKYTECH ORIGINAL DESIGN
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This SKYTECH series remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of
safety when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES
–
ON/THERMO/TIMER/PROGRAM.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver,
indicating that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter
signal every 15 minutes, the IC software, in the RECEIVER< will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If
during this 2-hour period, the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the fireplace
being controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then
after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the 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.
