Skytech RCAF-LMF-1 

 

POWER SETTING – RCAF-LMF 

 
The RECEIVER comes from the factory programmed to provide pulse DC voltage (5.5) VDC to 6.3 VDC) to a latching solenoid. 
 
 

REMOTE RECEIVER 

IMPORTANT 

 

THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT 

TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F. 

 

 
The remote receiver (right) operates on (4) 1.5V AA-size batteries.  It is 
recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and 
maximum microprocessor performance.  IMPORTANT:  New or fully charged 
batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote receiver as a latching 
solenoid power consumption is substantially higher than standard remote control 
systems. 
 

NOTE

:  The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 2-position slide 

button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. The remote receiver houses 
the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system 
operation. 

 
FUNCTIONS: 
 

 

With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will  
remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position. 

 

With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate 
if the remote receiver receives commands 

from the transmitter.

   

 

With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the system 
is OFF. 

 

It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the OFF position if you will be 

 

away from your home for an extended period of time.  If the remote receiver is 

 

mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position 

 

also functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off and 

 

rendering the remote receiver inoperative.

 

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

WARNING 

 

DO  NOT  CONNECT  REMOTE  RECEIVER  DIRECTLY  TO  110-120VAC  POWER.    THIS  WILL  BURN 
OUT  THE  RECEIVER.    FOLLOW  INSTRUCTIONS  FROM  MANUFACTURER  OF  GAS  VALVE  FOR 
CORRECT  WIRING  PROCEDURES.    IMPROPER  INSTALLATION  OF  ELECTRIC  COMPONENTS 
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO GAS VALVE AND REMOTE RECEIVER. 

 

INSTALLATION 

 
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth.  PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.  
Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the 
receiver case.  Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures. 
 
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. For best results it is recommended that 18 gauge stranded wires should 
be used to make connections and no longer than 20-feet.
