SYSTEM CHECK
MILLIVOLT VALVES
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be in
operation for the main gas valve to operate.
•
Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should ignite.
•
Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).
•
Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position) then press the ON button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The
main gas flame should ignite.
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 ON 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 65,536 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 ON or OFF 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.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Check and replace the transmitter battery
annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has
decreased) or the remote receiver doe not function at all, the transmitter battery and the 110-volt power source to the receiver should
be checked. The transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the SKYTECH
remote. 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:
•
Make sure there is 110-volt power source to the receiver. Without 110-volt power the receiver will not operate with the transmitter.
•
Check battery in Transmitter to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.
•
Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter is within 20’-25’ operating range.
•
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
