THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is
temperature- activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed
160
0
F
degrees inside the receiver case.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the receiver’s
microprocessors.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR,
inside the receiver case
, reaches 160
0
F
, the THERMISTOR will automatically
shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the ambient
temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 150
0
F
and 160
0
F
, the user can reactivate the appliance by pushing the ON button on
the transmitter. When the ON button is pressed, the THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the fireplace will begin operating again.
However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between 150
0
F
and 160
0
F
. This “beeping” alerts the user
that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 150
0
F
.
When the temperature drops below 150
0
F
, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR by pushing the
MODE button to ON to operate the appliance. Allow sufficient time for the receiver to cool below 150
0
F
, and then press ON button to
stop beeping.
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 warranty and may be pose a fire hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions and wiring schematics for
proper placement of all wires.
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 gas valve and
remote receiver.
HEARTH MOUNT INSTALLATION
The remote receiver is to be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the control access panel due to the
connections to the TH, TP, & TH/TP terminals on the gas valve. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case does not exceed 160
0
F
.
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button
on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery
transmitter on initial use, see MATCHING SECURITY CODES
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by
this remote should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections
WILL
cause damage to the gas valve
and may also damage the remote receiver.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES ONLY (WILL NOT OPERATE ON ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITION SYSTEMS)
The remote receiver is connected to the TH, TP, & TH/TP terminals on the
millivolt gas valve. Connect the (3) 18” gauge stranded
wires from the remote receiver to the gas valve. These (3) wires are marked TH (Black Wire), TP (Red Wire), and TH/TP (White Wire).
Note: The RED wire from the thermopile must match up with the RED wire from the 1001BE on the (TP) terminal of the gas
valve. The WHITE/YELLOW wire from the thermopile must match up with the WHITE wire from the 10011BE on the (TH/TP)
terminal of the gas valve. The reason for this is the 1001BE is polarity based. These changes will make the gas valve and the
thermopile match the 1001BE.
