ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS
• Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot (the
pilot may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should ignite.
• Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), and then press the MODE/SET button on the transmitter to change the system to ON.
The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame
should ignite.
PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept
away from temperatures exceeding 130
0
F. Exposure to extreme temperatures can damage the electronic components or cause the plastic
case to become deformed and is not covered under warranty.
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 Push and Release the LEARN button on the top of
the remote receiver and then Press the MODE/SET
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 override 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.
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 5310 should be at least 12 months. Check and 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 transmitter batteries should be checked. The Transmitter should operate with as little as 5.0 volts of battery power,
measuring at the (4) 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. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 5.0 V or more.
2. Check to see if the receiver is connected to a 110-120 VAC power source.
3. Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
WARNING
THIS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED EXACTLY AS OUTLINED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS COMMPLETELY BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY DURING
INSTALLATION. ANY MODIFICATION OF THIS REMOTE CONTROL OR ANY OF ITS COMPONENTS WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY AND MAY POSE A FIRE HAZARD.
