INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 warranty 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.
WARNING
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 compo-
nents 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° 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. It is recommended that 18 gauge stranded or solid wires
(included) be used to make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module
and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results, use 18 gauge stranded or solid wire, with no splices
and measuring no longer than 20-feet.
WALL MOUNTING
Install (4) AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should
be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are
tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output
voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts.
Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
To attach wall cover plate to receiver box:
1. Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left
with lower tab on wall cover plate into groove of receiv-
er (Make sure the LEARN hole on cover plate properly
aligns with remote receiver)
2. Pull receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
3. Position the wall cover plate so the word ON is facing up.
4. Install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box
using the two long screws provided. Push the slide Button
over the receiver slides witch only after making sure the
remote receiver has LEARNED the transmitter’s security
code (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER).
NOTE
: Slide button covers the Learn hole when properly
installed.
