INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This SUPER STAR remote control transmitter was developed to convert a standard SUPER STAR ON/OFF remote control systems
Models 1001, 1001D, 1410, 1315, and 1315G to a ON/OFF/THERMO remote control systems for use on heater rated gas heating
appliances. Its battery operation allows the system to operate independently of household current. The system operates on radio
frequencies with non-directional signals. The SYSTEMS operating range is approximately 20 feet. The system operates on one of 255
security codes which can be set on the transmitter.
The transmitter operates on (2) AAA-size 1.5V batteries and (1) 12V battery. 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 1.5 V batteries and (1)
12V battery 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 at right
(with similar numbers) will display.

THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This SUPER STAR remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates
in the following manner, but only in the THERMO MODE:
The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET
temperature then sends a signal to the receiver.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This remote control transmitter must be installed only on a Skytech remote control system that is installed on a heater rated gas
appliance. It is not intended for use with non-heater rated gas appliances. This transmitter is to be installed exactly as outlined in these
instructions. Read all instructions completely before attempting installation. Follow instructions carefully during installation. Any
modifications of the SKYTECH remote control or any of its components will void the warranty and may be pose a fire hazard.
Do not connect any gas valve or electronic module directly to 110-120VAC power. Consult gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions
and wiring schematics for proper placement of all wires. All electronic modules are to be wired to manufacturer’s specifications.
Follow instructions from manufacturer of gas valve and/or electronic module for correct wiring procedures. Improper installation of
electric components can cause damage to electronic module, gas valve and remote receiver.

MILLIVOLT VALVES
Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be in
operation 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. The
main 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 a
temperature of a least 2 0 F (10 C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this manual setting, the normal
thermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET temperature to at least 2 0 F (10 C) below the room
temperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle to on and off
thermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differential
between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 2 0 F (10 C). The 2 0 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 (the
pilot 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. The
spark electrode should begin sparking to ignite the pilot. After the pilot is lit, the main gas valve should open and the main gas flame
should 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 a
temperature of at least 2 0 F (10 C) above the ROOM temperature displayed on the LCD screen. With this manual setting the normal
thermostatic cycle is overridden and the system flame will ignite. Set the SET temperature to at least 2 0 F (10 C) below the room
temperature and the system flame will extinguish in a few seconds. Thereafter, it should continue to cycle to on and off
thermostatically approximately every two minutes as the ROOM temperature changes, but only when the temperature differential
between ROOM and SET temperatures differ at least 2 0 F (10 C). (The 2 0 F differential is the factory setting).
TIMER
The countdown timer will operate in either the manual ON or THERMO mode. Once the appliance is in an operating mode, set the
countdown timer to turn off in 15 minutes. The timer function will allow operation to continue until the countdown “time” on the LCD screen
expires. 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 is
found, contact the dealer where you purchased your appliance/remote control.
GENERAL INFORMATION
THERMO FUNCTION
When 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 temperature
higher than it actually is; if in THERMO mode, it may not turn on the appliance even if the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SET
temperature.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SUPER STAR 1030TH should be at least 12 months. Check all batteries annually. When the
Transmitter 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 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 Transmitter or Wall Transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power,
Measuring at the 12 volt battery.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If 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 the
SKYTECH 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 130
degrees F.
•
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened. Reposition RECEIVER into “free
air” space.
FREQUENCY (DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (Transmitter)
Due to handling/shipping of remote control, especially the TRANSMITTER, the TRANSMITTER
may 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 the
operating distance. If turning clockwise does not fix the problem, return screw to original position
and turn 1 degree- 2 degrees counter-clockwise. This procedure is like tuning your radio, too
much adjustment will cause complete loss of frequency match between the transmitter and
receiver. You should not have to turn the adjustment screw more than 5 degrees, 1/8 turn, in
either direction to improve operating distance. Note: adjustment screw location.
Back of Transmitter
3.
Reinstall the TRANSMITTER back panel and reinstall the screws.
