INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MULIT-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR OPERATING SERVO MOTORS VALVES OR PULSE SOLENOIDS VALVES
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' 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's code
must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.
Review THERMO SAFETY SECTION under RECEIVER section. This high temperature safety feature shuts down
the appliance when a potentially unsafe condition exists.
TRANSMITTER
This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to power
up to a 6 VDC servo motor or solenoid such as those used with gas valves used in some
heater rated gas logs, gas fireplaces and other gas heating appliances.

OPERATIONAL NOTE: TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN ROOM TEMPERATURE ARE ONLY UPDATED EVERY TWO
MINUTES.
The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from
the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an
appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the
“swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 20 F (10 C between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which
determines when the fireplace will be activated.
The transmitter has ON/HI and LO/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 - 1001SR or 1001P
The electronics in the remote control system have the capability of "powering" two different types of DC -powered components.
The RECEIVER comes from the factory programmed to provide continuous DC voltage (4.5 VDC to 6.0 VDC) to a servo motor and is referred
to as the SKYTECH 1001SR/P setting.
The RECEIVER can be reprogrammed, by the user, to provide "pulse" DC voltage ( 3.0 VDC) to a latching relay-solenoid and is referred to as
the SKYTECH 1001P setting.
Depending on the type of gas valve and/or solenoid controlling the gas flow in your fireplace system, the RECEIVER needs to be programmed
to the proper "power setting". To change the factory "power setting" from the 1001SR to the 1001P setting, first load the RECEIVER with a 4AA batteries as instructed in the REMOTE RECEIVER SECTION which follows. Then:
• Slide switch on RECEIVER to the remote position.
• Then push and hold in the LEARNING BUTTON on the front of the RECEIVER.
You will hear a continuous "beep sound" for about three seconds. Then, still holding in
the LEARN button, the "beep sound" will stop for about four seconds and then a second
"beep sound" of a different pitch, will be heard. The conversion from the 1001SR setting
to 1001P setting is complete. To reprogram RECEIVER to the 1001SR setting, repeat
process and receiver will reset to 1001SR setting.
• The LEARN button is used to set the unique security code for your remote control system.
The SECURITY CODE is reset during the "power setting" process.
REMOTE RECEIVER
IMPORTANT
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.
The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA-size batteries. It is recommended that
ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance.
IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote
receiver as a servo motor's power consumption is substantially higher than standard remote
control systems.
NOTE: Th e remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 2-position slide
button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. The remote receiver houses the
microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation.
FUNCTIONS:
•
•
•
With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the system will only
operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
Upon initial use or after an extended period of no use, the ON button
may have to be pressed for up to three seconds before activating servo
motor. If the system does not respond to the transmitter on initial use,
see Matching Security Codes.
With the slide in the OFF position, the system is off.
It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the OFF position if you
will be away from your home for an extended period of time. Placing the
SKYTECH 1001SR/P TH

slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety "lock out"
by both turning the system OFF and rendering the transmitter
inoperative.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT REMOTE RECEIVER DIRECTLY TO 110-120VAC POWER. THIS WILL BURN OUT THE
RECEIVER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM MANUFACTURER OF GAS VALVE FOR CORRECT WIRING
PROCEDURES. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO
GAS VALVE AND REMOTE RECEIVER.
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like
any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the receiver case.
Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18 gauge stranded or solid wires (not included) are used
to make connections. For best results, use 18 gauge stranded or solid wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the control access
panel. Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case does not exceed 130º F.
NOTE: Black Button is used on Hearth Mount Applications.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
This remote receiver can be connected to either a manual valve
with a SERVO MOTOR or manual valves with a latching relay
that operates OFF/ON with a pulse signal. (See Figure #1).
Connect two 18 gauge stranded or solid wires from the remote
receiver (See figure to the right) terminals to the servo motor or
pulse solenoid.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Operation of these controls is dependent
on which wire is attached to which terminal. If operation of
control does not correspond to operating buttons on transmitter,
reverse wire installation at the receiver or at the control.
NOTE: Up to 6 VDC of power is provided at the receiver
terminal.
THERMO-SAFETY FEATURE - RECEIVER (T/S - RX)
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130°F, the THERMISTOR will automatically send 10
seconds of power to the down or off terminal on the valve to shut the fireplace system down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of
4 "beeps" every 2 seconds. When the ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120° F and 130° F, the user can reactivate the
fireplace by pushing either button on the transmitter. When any transmitter 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 120° F and 130° F.
This "beeping" alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120° F.
When the temperature drops below 120° F, the "beeping" will cease, providing the user has "reset" the THERMISTOR by pushing either
transmitter button to operate the fireplace. Allow sufficient time for receiver to cool below 120° F, and then press transmitter button to stop
beeping.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 255 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the security code
of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. When
matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT "LEARN" if the slide switch is in
the OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by pushing in the LEARN button on the top of the remote
receiver and then pressing any button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver, indicates the transmitter's code has
been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new transmitter, the new security code will overwrite the old
one.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in matching
the security code on the first attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again--this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry-and try up to two or three more times.
TRANSMITTER WALL CLIP
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the clip provided. If the clip is installed on a solid wood
wall, drill 1/8" pilot holes and install with the screws provided. If it is installed on a plaster/wallboard
wall, first drill two 1/4" holes into the wall. Then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors
flush with the wall; then install the screws provided.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the 1001SR can be up to 12 months depending on use of the servo function. Check all batteries
annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote 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 combined output voltage of at least 4.5volts. The transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5 volts battery power.
NOTE: Extensive use of the SERVO MOTOR setting will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the 1001SR remote
system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of
the remote in the following manner:
• Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly.
• Check battery in TRANSMITTER to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.
• Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER are within 20'-25' operating range.
• Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 13 0° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 115° F.
• If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
NOTE:
A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperature inside the case exceeds 130° F, will cause the THERMOSAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to "reset" the receiver's
operation.
• Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and/or heat conditions at the receiver,
some receivers may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication and operating
distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Follow the steps below for making the adjustment.

FREQUENCY (DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT
1.
2.
To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjustment (ADJ)
screw counter-clockwise about 5° or maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the
distance problem.
If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original position and then
turn adjustment screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment screw, in either
direction, you will go past the proper setting (tuning).
