INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SINGLE-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR OPERATING VALVES WITH ON/OFF LATCHING SOLENOIDS
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliances. The system is operated manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot
range using non-directional signals. The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the
factory; the remote receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.
TRANSMITTER
This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to
power a ON/OFF latching solenoid such as those used with gas valves used in
some decorative gas logs, gas fireplaces and other gas heating appliances.
The circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to operate a latching
solenoid. The circuit has reversing polarity software which reverses the positive
(+) and negative (-) output of the receiver's battery power to drive solenoid
(ON/OFF FLAME) or open/close. The SYSTEM is controlled by the remote
transmitter.
The transmitter operates on a 12V battery made specifically for remote controls
and electronic lighters. Before using the transmitter install the 12-volt (A-23)
battery in the battery compartment.
It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life
and maximum operational performance.
The transmitter has ON and OFF functions that are activated by pressing either
button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is
pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being
sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote
receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system's design. If the
signal light does not illuminate, check the position of the transmitter's battery.
POWER SETTING - CON 1001
The electronics in the remote control system have the capability of "powering" two
different types of DC-powered components. If any operational problems are noted
contact Skytech Systems, Inc.
The RECEIVER comes from the factory programmed to provide pulse DC voltage (5.5)
VDC to 6.3 VDC) to a latching solenoid
