INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This 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 modifications 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 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufac-
turer’s instructions and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to
manufacturer’s specifications.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. Follow instructions from the manufacturer of the gas
valve and/or electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of electric components can cause
damage to the electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.
WARNING
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be
Wall Mounted
into a standard plastic switch box or
(Hearth Mounted
)
placed on or near the
fireplace hearth. Determine where you will install the receiver before proceeding. Preferably, the remote receiver should
be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from both the heat produced by the
gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left exposed on the hearth. PROTECTION FROM
EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment the receiver should be kept away from
temperatures exceeding 130°F inside the receiver case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed
to high temperatures.
Ensure the receiver switch is in the
OFF
position before installing. It is recommended that 18 gauge stranded or solid
wires (not included) be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic
module and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18 gauge stranded or solid wire, splice
into the black wires of the receiver or remove the black wires and install wires directly to the receiver. Be sure no splices
measure longer than 20-feet and allow ample wire to remove the receiver for annual battery replacement.
WALL MOUNTING
First,
install (4) AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE
batteries in the remote receiver (Fig 12).
For best performance, remote receiver
batteries should be factory fresh when
installed. The system operates best
when battery output is greater than 5.3
volts. Four (4) new AA batteries should
provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2
volts. Be sure batteries are installed
with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
Next
, attach wall mount cover plate to receiver box (Fig. 13):
Position the receiver as shown in the diagram to the left with lower tab on wall mount cover plate inserted into groove of
receiver. Move the receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
Position the cover plate so the word
ON
is facing up (Fig. 14);
then, install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using
the two long screws provided. Push the slide button over the
receiver slide switch only after making sure the remote receiver
has LEARNED the transmitter’s security code (see LEARNING
TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER).
