WALL MOUNTING THE TIMER 
 

 

 

 

 

1. 

Remove face from backing plate by insetting a small screwdriver into the small  

 

slot at the top or bottom of the faceplate as shown to the right then snap OFF. 

2. 

Locate the (2) two mounting holes and mark the holes on the wall. 

3. 

Use the (2) two dry wall anchors and screws (that are supplied) to mount the  

 

base plate to the wall as shown.  

4. 

The wall transmitter can also be mounted onto an existing (Plastic) electrical  

 

box.  

5. 

Base plate should be mounted level on the wall for best operation. 

 
 
 
 
RECEIVER 
 
The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V 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 for proper operation of the 
remote receiver. 
 
The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. The 
remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 

 

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 warrant and may be pose a fire hazard. 
 
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power.  Consult gas appliance manufacturer’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 manufacturer of gas valve and/or electronic 
module for correct wiring procedures.  Improper installation of electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve 
and remote receiver.   

 

 
INSTALLATION 

 

The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth.  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 remote receiver should be kept away from 
temperatures exceeding 130

0

 F inside the receiver case.  Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high 

temperatures.
