GENERAL INFORMATION
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept
the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from
your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on
the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. The
LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver
or end of a paper clip gently press and release the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you release the LEARN
button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”. After the receiver emits the beep press the transmitter ON button and
release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted into the receiver.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are
unsuccessful in matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1-2 minutes before trying again – this delay allows
the microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry – and try up to two or three more times.
THERMO FUNCTION
When the transmitter is in the THERMO mode, it should be kept away from direct sources of heat such as fireplaces,
incandescent lighting, and direct sunlight. Leaving the transmitter in direct sunlight, for example, will cause its
heat-sensing diode to read the room temperature higher than it actually is; if in THERMO mode, it may not turn on the
appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SET temperature.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH A-TS/R-2A should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all
batteries annually. When the Wall Transmitter no longer operates 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 a combined
output voltage of at least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and the gas valve directly affects
the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver
signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. The Wall Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.4 volts of
battery power, measuring at each of the 3-volt button cell batteries.
FCC Notification
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guaran-
tee that inference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
•
Consult the dealer or an experience radio/TV technician for help
