REV 09/02Page 2 of Flip open the plastic cover on the front of the transmitter to expose the “SET” buttons. The flip coverprotects the SET buttons from being changed accidentally. Close the cover after completing thefollowing settings/ programming.Flashing numbers on the display indicate the system is awaiting user input, such as using the UP andDOWN buttons to program a new setting. If no change is made to flashing digits within 15 seconds,the system will complete the procedure last programmed and reset the display to its normal state.1. Press and hold the TIME button on the transmitter for more than two seconds. The hour digit(s)will begin flashing.2. Press the UP or DOWN button until the desired hour is displayed in AM or PM.3. After setting the desired hour, press and release the TIME button again to set the minutes ; the minute digits will begin flashing.4. Press the UP or DOWN button until the desire minutes are displayed.5. After setting the desired hour and minutes press the SET button on the transmitter to stop theminutes digits from flashing and the time is set.SETTING 0 F / 0C SCALEThe factory setting for temperature is 0 F. To change this setting to 0 C, first press and hold the UP button on the transmitter, then press theDOWN button. Follow this same procedure to change from 0 C back to 0 F. When changing between the 0 F and 0C scales, thetemperature in the SET frame defaults to the lowest temperature (450 F, or 60 C ).SETTING DESIRED ROOM TEMPERATUREThis remote control system can be thermostatically controlled when the transmitter is in the THERMOmode (THERMO must be displayed on the screen). To set the DESIRED room temperature, pressthe MODE button to place the transmitter into THERMO mode, then press the UP or DOWN button toselect the desired room temperature. The highest SET temperature is 990 Fahrenheit (320 Celsius).The lowest SET temperature is 450 Fahrenheit (60 Celsius).OPERATIONAL NOTE: TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN ROOMTEMPERATURE ARE ONLY UPDATED EVERY TWO MINUTES.The Thermo Mode on the transmitter operates the appliance when ever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degreesfrom the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle ofan 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 settingfor the “swing number” is (2). This represents a temperature variation of +/- 20 F (10 C between SET temperature and ROOMtemperature, which determines when the fireplace will be activated.SETTING THE COUNTDOWN TIMERThis remote control system can operate with a built-in countdown timer when the transmitter is in theON or THERMO modes (THERMO or ON must be displayed on the screen).1. Press and release the TIMER button on the transmitter. 0:15 will begin to flash in the timer boxon the screen.2. Press the UP or DOWN button on the transmitter to begin advancing through each of thecountdown time options. Available countdown times are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1hour, 1 hour 30 minutes, 2 hours, 2 hours 30 minutes, and each additional half-hour up to ninehours.3. To set the TIMER press the SET button on the transmitter if the system is ON, it will remain onuntil the “time “ has expired. If the system is in the THERMO mode, it will cycle on and off asthe room temperature requires until the “time” has expired.

REV 09/02Page 4 of SYSTEM CHECKMILLIVOLT VALVESLight your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be inoperation for the main gas valve to operate.• Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should ignite.• Slide the button to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. Themain gas flame should ignite.• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to atemperature of a least 20 F (10 C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this manual setting, the normalthermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET temperature to at least 20 F (10 C) below the roomtemperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle to on and offthermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differentialbetween ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 20 F (10 C). The 20 F differential is the factory setting.ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS• Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot (thepilot may ignite after only one spark). After the pilot flame is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame should ignite.• Slide the button to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.• Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. Thespark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flameshould ignite.• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.• Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to atemperature of at least 20 F (10 C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this manual setting the normalthermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET temperature to at least 20 F (10 C) below the roomtemperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle to on and offthermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differentialbetween ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 20 F (10 C). (The 20 F differential is the factory setting).TIMERThe countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the appliance is in an operating mode, set thecountdown timer to turn off in 15 minutes. The timer function will allow operation to continue until the countdown “time” on the LCD screenexpires. After 15 minutes elapses, the system should turn OFF.If you have any problems with operation, recheck you connections and ensure transmitter batteries are fully charged. If no problem isfound, contact the dealer where you purchased your appliance/remote control.GENERAL INFORMATIONTHERMO FUNCTIONWhen 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 temperaturehigher than it actually is; if in THERMO mode, it may not turn on the appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SETtemperature.BATTERY LIFELife expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SUPER STAR 1030TH should be at least 12 months. Check all batteries annually. When theTransmitter or Wall 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 fullycharged, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and the gas valvedirectly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver signalsbetween the remote receiver and the gas valve. The Transmitter or Wall Transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power,Measuring at the 12 volt battery.
REV 09/02Page 5 of TROUBLE SHOOTINGIf you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the SKYTECH remote.Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of theSKYTECH 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 130 degrees F. Battery life decreased when ambient temperatures are above 130degrees F.• If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened. Reposition RECEIVER into “freeair” space.FREQUENCY (DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (Transmitter)Due to handling/shipping of remote control, especially the TRANSMITTER, the TRANSMITTERmay require a frequency (distance) adjustment to return the normal operating distance of 20’-25’.Follow instructions below to make the adjustment:Check batteries level, replace batteries if low.1. Remove the (2) screws holding the back panel on the TRANSMITTER and remove the back panel.2. Using a small screwdriver, (eyeglass screwdriver works best) turn the adjustment screw clockwise,no more than 1degree –2 degrees. Just a slight movement of this screw should improve theoperating distance. If turning clockwise does not fix the problem, return screw to original positionand turn 1 degree- 2 degrees counter-clockwise. This procedure is like tuning your radio, toomuch adjustment will cause complete loss of frequency match between the transmitter andreceiver. You should not have to turn the adjustment screw more than 5 degrees, 1/8 turn, ineither direction to improve operating distance. Note: adjustment screw location. 3. Reinstall the TRANSMITTER back panel and reinstall the screws.SPECIFICATIONSBATTERIES: Transmitter 3V- (2)ea.
