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 3301PF should be at least 12 months. Replace all batteries annually. When the
Transmitter no longer operates the 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. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and the gas valve directly affects
the operating performance of the remote system. The Transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts battery power measuring at the (2) 1.5
volt batteries.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the SKYTECH remote
control. Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the
SKYTECH remote in the following manner:
1.
Check the receptacle supplying power to the REMOTE RECEIVER. The output should be 110-120 VAC. If there is no power to receptacle,
check fuse or circuit breaker at main electrical panel. NOTE: Be sure receptacle is not controlled by a wall switch.
2.
Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 5.0 V or more.
3.
Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
•
If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter they are communicating.
•
If the receiver does not beep when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter, you will need to teach the receiver the code of the
transmitter. This is done by holding the LEARN button down on the receiver, and at the same time depress the MODE button on the
transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver.
4.
Make sure the transmitter is within the 15’-20’ range of the receiver.
5.
Positioning of the receiver is important. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, the operation of the receiver may be affected as
noted below. Reposition the receiver to improve operating range. It is suggested that a heat shield be installed to protect the receiver from
extreme heat. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, this can:
•
Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communicate with the receiver.
•
Cause the working distance to be shorter than normal.
NOTE: Areas that exceed 130
0
F will cause the THERMO-SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning
beeps, and to “reset” the receiver’s operation.
