Skytech TM/R-AF1
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the TM/R-AF1 can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function. Replace
all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the
transmitter's range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that
the remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing combined output voltage of at least 5.0 volts. The transmitter should operate
with as little as 2.4 volts battery power.
NOTE
: Extensive use of the Solenoid will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the TM/R-AF1
remote system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check
the operation of the remote in the following manner:
1. Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly.
2. Check battery in TRANSMITTER to ensure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.
3. Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER are within 20 to 25-foot operating range.
4. Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 120° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 115° F.
5. If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
NOTE:
1. Heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when temperatures exceed 1150 F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when
exposed to a constant temperature of 1200 F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will
partially recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.
