COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)

This SKYTECH series remote controls have a COMMUNICATION – SAFETY function built into the 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 for all OPERATING MODES:  ON/THERMO/

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 transmit-

ter signal every 15 minutes, the IC software, in the RECEIVER will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing func-

tion.  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 bat-

teries 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PROGRAM OPERATION OF THE TRANSMITTER

The transmitter has a built-in factory program, (7) days a week 

with (4) continuous time periods for each day. Each time period 

has it’s own starting time and temperature.  A chart of the built- 

in programs is at the right.  

NOTE

: The ending time for one 

period is the starting time for the next period.

You may change any of the factory settings by following the 

procedures below.  Should you desire to return to the factory 

program, follow the procedures under heading
