WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE
RECEIVER DO NOT EXCEED 130 DEGREES F.
CAUTION
: All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and shall be in compliance with local codes and the National Electric
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-current CSA C22.1 Canadian Code 9 (in Canada).
The remote receiver is powered by 24VAC, supplied by a 110VAC/24VAC step-down transformer that may be supplied by the fireplace
manufacturer. The remote receiver can be positioned under the firebox in the control compartment of the fireplace if ambient
temperatures do not exceed 120 degree F. The remote receiver accepts commands from the transmitter and is capable of remotely
operating up to three separate circuit5 functions. The system is designed to control the following circuits.
WIRE COLORS
Gas Valve - Millivolt or electronic ignition Red
Flame Controller -24 VDC HI/LO solenoid or modulation coil Orange
Fan -ON/OFF dry contact circuit Blue
NOTE: Note remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position
slide button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. IF the system does
not respond to the transmitter on initial use, see section, MATCHING SECURITY CODES.
Function Controlled
Wires 1 & 2 to 110 VAC Fan switch –BLUE wires with female connectors.
Wires 3& 4 to 24 VDC HI/LO modulating coil flame controller- ORANGE wires with
female connectors.
Wires 5 & 6 to TH terminals on millivolt valve –RED wires with female connectors.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES
Connect the two red 18-gauge wires from the remote receiver to the TH and TH/TP terminals
on the terminal block on the millivolt gas valve. Normally these can be connected to
either TH terminal on the gas valve.
NOTE
Some gas valves are polarized. If the remote receiver’s
ON/REMOTE/OFF functions don’t operate the gas valve, reverse the
receiver wires at the TH terminals on the gas valve terminal block.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat in that both turn the
gas valve on and off. A thermostat’s input signals are from different temperatures.
The remote receiver’s input signals are from the transmitter, either manually or thermally.
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. 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 diagrams that follow are for illustration purposes 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
valve, and remote receiver.
