INTRODUCTION

This Skytech remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system

for gas heating appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system

operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of

1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver’s code must be

matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.

Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY under the TRANSMITTER SECTION and THERMO SAFETY under the REMOTE RECEIVER

SECTION. These signal/temperature safety features shut down the appliance when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

The transmitter operates on (2) AAA size 1.5DCV

batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries

always be used for longer battery life and maximum

operational performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully

charged batteries are essential for proper operation

of the multi-function transmitter. Insert (2) AAA size

1.5DCV batteries into the battery compartment on the

back of the transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends of

the batteries as indicated on the casing. When the

batteries are inserted, the screen in gure 2 (with similar

numbers) will display.

Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the position of the batteries. See Fig. 2.

CAUTION: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring components in the transmitter, it may be necessary to allow

the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature before accurate room temperatures are displayed on the screen. If the

transmitter is activated from a severe cold condition, it can take up to fteen minutes for accurate temperature readings to

appear.

Note: This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or re feature. Adults must be present when the

Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance or re

feature when Adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or re feature burning

unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an Adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or re

feature for any length of time, then the handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the

“OFF” position.

Model: 3301 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE INTRODUCTION This Skytech remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot range using non-directional signals.

LCD DISPLAY FUNCTIONS 1. BATTERY ICON - Symbol means battery power is low. Replace batteries within 2-weeks. 2. TIMER- Indicates time remaining before system shuts OFF, when timer-programmed; 9-hour maximum setting. 2 When screens displays OFF 3. MODE- Indicates operation MODE of system. ON indicates the system is manually ON. 3 the entire system is turned OFF and THERMO indicates the system will automatically cycle ON/OFF, depending on SET temperature. 4.

SETTING THE CLOCK MODE DOWN UP TIMER TIME SET Fig. 8 Timer/Time Button SET Fig. 10COVER Setting OPEN Minutes The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. It emits one beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling on and off automatically in THERMO mode. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the ON/ REMOTE/OFF mode of operation: • • • Requires 4-AA 1.
PAGE 4
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The remote receiver can be Wall Mounted into a standard plastic switch box or (Hearth Mounted) placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Determine where you will install the receiver before proceeding. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from both the heat produced by the gas appliance and potential damage or abuse that can occur if it is left exposed on the hearth.
PAGE 5
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the (middle) REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER section, and re-check battery positions in the remote receiver. HEARTH MOUNT The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the control access panel or louvers.

SYSTEM CHECK MILLIVOLT VALVES Light the gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is ON; and the control knob on the gas valve is in the ON position for the main gas valve to operate. • Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position (Fig. 16). The main gas flame (fire) should light. • Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain ON).

GENERAL INFORMATION CONTINUED 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 130°F degrees inside the receiver case. The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
PAGE 8
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter. The COMMUNICATION SAFETY feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range or should the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
PAGE 9
SETTING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER This remote control system can operate with a built-in countdown timer when the transmitter is in the ON or THERMO modes only (THERMO or ON must be displayed on the screen). 1. Press and release the TIMER/TIME button on the transmitter. The word TIMER will appear and 0:15 minutes will begin blinking on the screen (Fig. 21). MODE 2. Press the UP or DOWN button on the transmitter to begin DOWN UP advancing through each of the countdown time options.
PAGE 10
BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries should be at least 12-months. Check and 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. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts.
