The wireless Thermostat must be located within 20’ of the receiver, This is proper operational distance. Remove face from backing plate as shown at the start of these instructions then locate the (2) two holes that mount the plate to the wall. Locate the (2) two mounting holes and mark the holes on the wall. Use the (2) two dry wall anchors and screws ( that are supplied) to mount the base plate to the wall as shown. Thermostat can also be mounted onto an existing (Plastic) electrical box. Base plate should be mounted level on the wall for best operation. WAL RO OM TE MP ON SE OF REMOTE RECEIVER Requires 4-AA 1.5V alkaline batteries (not included) IMPORTANT: THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130 DEGREE F. The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA- size batteries (Included). 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. Slide Switch TOP ON REMOTE OFF NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE (center) position. The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the thermostat to control system operation. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch (see figure at right) for selecting the mode of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF. • • • • Ba tt ry co ve sl de on /o ff With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the word TOP), the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position. This manual switch will turn ON or OFF the system, without the transmitter or good batteries. With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the thermostat. Upon initial use or after an extended period of no use the ON button must be pressed for up to five seconds. With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the word TOP), 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. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety “lock out” by both turning the system off and rendering the thermostat inoperative. INSTALLATION NOTE: When the remote receiver is installed as a wall switch, It is recommended that it be installed in a PLASTIC switch box. Remote functions may not operate properly if the remote receiver is installed in a steel switch box. Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position (toward the small hole on the receiver’s face). It is recommended that 18 gauge, stranded wires (Included) be used for wire installation between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic ignition system and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For best results, use 18-gauge wire that has not been spliced and measuring no longer than 20 ft. WALL MOUNT WAL TOP Install four 1.5V AA-size ALKALINE batteries (Included) in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best when battery output is greater than 5.3 volts. For new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. ON Receiver Slide Button OFF Remote Receiver Cover Plate Plastic Switch Box Position the remote receiver so the word TOP is facing up, then install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using the two long screws provided. Install the cover plate using the two short screws provided. Push the remote receiver slide button over the remote receiver slide switch. Reverse installation of the slide button if it appears off center REV 3/3/04 Page 2 of 5 HEARTH MOUNT (bottom view of slide-on cover plate) OFF The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the control access panel, or on any space heating appliance. Position where the ambient temperature does not exceed 130 degrees F. With the battery compartment on the bottom, install the slide-on cover and receiver slide button. Reverse installation of the slide button if it appears off center. ON REMOTE Slide-on cover plate Wire Terminals TOP PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130 degrees F. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.

SETTING F / C SCALE The factory setting for temperature is degrees Fahrenheit ( F ) . To change this setting to Centigrade ( C ), you must press and hold both the ON and OFF buttons on the transmitter at the same time until the LCD displays the change. If you want to convert back, repeat the above procedure. BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH TS/R-2 should be at least 12 months. Replace all batteries annually. When the wall thermostat no longer operates the receiver. 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. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and the gas valve directly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. The wall thermostat should operate with as little as 4.0 volts battery power, Measured at the (2) 3 volt button cell batteries. REV 3/3/04 Page 4 of 5
