LEARNING THE REMOTE CONTROL TO THE MODULE

The Skytech Fire Pit is unique that it comes standard with one 

remote controlled transmitter (Model RCAF-3).  The handheld 

remote is shipped with this system are already learned (pro

transmitters can be learned to this electronic module; up to 

a total of three Skytech transmitters are available. Contact 

Skytech to discuss additional transmitter options or see the 

accessory page of this instruction manual.

Matching new transmitters is simple, but will require pressing 

the learn button on the module.  You should learn any new 

transmitters before the final installation of the Skytech Fire 

Pit. Follow the steps below:

Remove the two screws securing the cover on the    

 

control box (See fig. 9).  The cover will slide  

 

 

down exposing the gas valve and control module.

2. 

Find the black module attached to the inside of the  

 

control box. Locate the “Learn Button” on the bottom  

 

of the module.

  

3. 

Once the Learn button is located, press and release  

 

the button once. You will hear a beep indicating that  

 

the module is ready to receive a transmitter code  

 

(See fig. 10)

4. 

Take the transmitter and press the OFF button. You  

 

will hear a series of rapid beeps indicating the module  

 

has accepted the new code. 

NOTE

to the module.  After a total of three (3) codes have been pro

codes.  To clear all codes, press and hold the learn button for 

10 seconds.  The module will beep three (3) times indicat

READ BEFORE OPERATING 

For proper ignition it is important that the ignitor probe be properly aligned 

overtop of the burner.  Use the Fig. 11 as a guide.  Before lighting remove 

any tape holding the screen cover of the ignition hood to the burner and 

ensure the spark and sensor probes are directly overtop of a burner port 

hole.  The sparking and sensor probes must be in the path of a flame to 

ignite the gas and the sense that flame is present for continued operation. 

Replace the screen cover and follow the operating procedures.
