TROUBLE SHOOTING A SKY-MRCK & SKY-MRCKTH REMOTES
FOR OPERATING HI/LO SERVO MOTOR
1. Make sure batteries are installed properly in the transmitter and receiver. Make sure that transmitter is within 20’
– 25’ range of receiver.
2.
Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
•
If the receiver beeps when the “ON/HI” or “OFF/LO” buttons are depressed on the transmitter then the
transmitter is talking to the receiver.
•
If the receiver does not beep when the “ON/HI” or “OFF/LO” buttons are depressed on the transmitter,
you will need to “LEARN” the transmitter and receiver.
“LEARN”:
•
Press and release the “LEARN” button, you should hear a “BEEP”.
•
Then push the “ON/OFF” button within 5 seconds; you should hear several “BEEPS”.
3.
To check this unit for proper operation, check the following.
•
To check the receiver use a multmeter and set it to DC volts, connect the leads to the outlet block on the
receiver, when you depress the “ON/HI” or “OFF/LO” buttons you should read about 6.4 DC volts Max.
If the voltage is less then 4.0 volts you should replace the receiver batteries.
•
If the transmitter is sending a good signal the LED will have a flicker. (Heart Beat) If the LED signal is
steady there is a problem with the transmitter.
4.
Make sure that the receiver is not installed in or behind and enclosed metal chamber or door, or in an area that
exceeds 130 degrees F.
•
This condition can cause the RF signal to get lost and not communicate with the receiver.
•
The condition will also cause the working distance to be shorter than normal.
•
Areas that exceed 130 degrees F will cause the battery life to be very short and the heat will damage the
receiver. This is not a warranty condition.
5.
If the servomotor is not adjusting from HI/LOW check to see if you can move it with a 9-volt battery.
•
Take the receiver wires out of the receiver.
•
Take your 9-volt battery and put your positive (+) to one terminal and your negative (-) to the other, this
should drive your motor HI or LOW. To go the other way, turn the battery the other way.
