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. 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.
Note: This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance
or fire 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 fire feature when Adults are not physically present. Furthermore,
DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or fire feature burning unattended; it may
cause damage or serious injury. If an Adult is going to be away from the
hearth appliance or fire feature for any length of time, then the
handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the
“OFF” position.
WALL MOUNT THERMOSTAT
The wall/transmitter operates on (2) 3V Button Cell (Included) which powers
the LCD screen and powers the RF signal. These batteries are made
0specifically for remote controls and electronic lighters. Before using the
transmitter the 3V batteries must be installed into the battery compartments
It is recommended that CR2032 lithium batteries always be used for longer
battery life and maximum operational performance.
Upon initial use, there may be a delay of five seconds before the remote
receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system’s design.
If the LCD screen will not come ON, check the 3V Button Cell battery.

GENERAL INFORMATION
TS-R-2A THERMOSTAT OPERATION
- ROOM TEMP – Current room temperature.
- F° = Degrees Fahrenheit (C° = Degrees Celsius)
- FLAME ICON – Indicates APPLIANCE IS ON.
- SET- Indicates TS-R-2A is in thermostat mode.
- DASHES – Indicate thermostat mode is being disabled.
Note: The word (SET) will appear when the thermostat mode is enabled.
- This TS-R-2A Wall/transmitter has ON, OFF, and SET functions that are activated by pressing the buttons on the face of the transmitter.
- Upon initial use, there may be a delay of five seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system’s design. If the LCD will not come on, check the 3V-button cell battery.
SETTING MANUAL OPERATION
- When the ON button on the TS-R-2A is pressed a flame icon on the LCD screen will appear when the appliance is ON.
- When the appliance is OFF the flame icon will not appear.
SETTING THERMOSTAT OPERATION
- If the TS-R-2A is in the thermostat mode the word (SET) will appear on the LCD screen.
- When the SET button is pressed the temperature digits will begin to flash.
- While the temperature digits are flashing use the ON button to increase the set temperature or use the OFF button to decrease the set temperature to your desired temperature.
- When the desired temperature setting is reached press the SET button, again and the word SET will appear on the LCD screen and now the thermostat will automatically send an ON or OFF signal to the appliance.
- To disengage the thermostat mode push the OFF button or push and hold the SET button until (2) dashes appear on the LCD screen. When you release the SET button this will disengage the thermostat mode and the word SET will disappear from the LCD screen.
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.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE
This SKYTECH wired wall thermostat has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into
its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the following manner,
but only in the THERMOSTAT MODE:
The TS-R-2A normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the
ROOM temperature against the SET temperature and then sends a signal to the
appliance.
NOTE: When locating the TS-R-2A on a wall remember it should be kept away
from direct sources of heat such as heating appliance, incandescent lighting,
and direct sunlight. Leaving the TS-R-2A in direct sunlight, for example, will
cause its heat-sensing diode to read the room temperature higher than it
actually is; if in THERMOSTAT mode, it may not turn ON the appliance even if
the ambient ROOM temperature is below the SET temperature.
COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into
its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when the TRANSMITTER is
out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all
OPERATING MODES – Manual ON and THERMO.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the wall transmitter sends an RF
signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver, Should the receiver NOT
receive a transmitter signal every 15 minutes, the IC software, in the
RECEIVER, will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If
during this 2-hour period, the receiver does not receive a signal from the
wall transmitter, the receiver will shut down the appliance being controlled
by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a
period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the RECEIVER
will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until the ON button on
the wall transmitter is pressed to reset the receiver. The intermittent 4
second beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which
could be in excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the appliance, you must press ON button on
the wall transmitter. The flame icon must be 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 wall transmitter. The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature will reactivate if
the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
REMOTE RECEIVER
The remote receiver operates on (4) AA-size 1.5V 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 for proper operation
of the remote receiver.
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 MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF
- With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
- With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
- With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), 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 remote receiver inoperative.
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 inside the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner,
when the appliance is in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can
have negative effect on the operation of the receiver’s microprocessors.
For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can
cause batteries to discharge when temperatures exceed 115° F. Studies show
that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 120° F, can
lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will
partially recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will reduce the
battery’s normal life expectancy.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case,
reaches 130° F, the THERMISTOR will automatically shut the appliance 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 appliance by pushing the MODE button on the
transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When the ON button is
pressed, the wall 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 the MODE button to ON to
operate the appliance, either manually or thermally. Allow sufficient time for
the receiver to cool below 120° F, and then press MODE button to stop beeping.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This remote control system must 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.
The following wiring diagrams are for illustration purpose only. 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.
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch
box or placed on or near the fireplace hearth.
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. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY
IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should
be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130° 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 (included) be used to make connections
between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic
module and the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For the best results,
use 18 gauge stranded or solid wire, with no splices and measuring no longer
than 20-feet.
WALL MOUNTING
Install (4) AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries 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. Four new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
To attach wall cover plate to receiver box:
- Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower tab on wall cover plate into groove of receiver (Make sure the LEARN hole on cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver)
- Pull receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
- Position the wall cover plate so the word ON is facing up.
- Install the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using the two long screws provided. Push the slide Button over the receiver slides witch only after making sure the remote receiver has LEARNED the transmitter’s security code (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO ECEIVER).
NOTE: Slide button covers the Learn hole when properly installed.
NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER, and recheck 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. Position where the ambient
temperature inside the receiver case does not exceed 130° F.
NOTE: Black Slide Button is used for Hearth Mount applications.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by this remote should install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections WILL cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote receiver.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES
The remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the TH
(thermostat) terminals on the terminal block on the millivolt gas valve.
Connect 18 gauge stranded or solid wires from the remote receiver to the gas
valve.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat in that
both turn the gas valve on and off based on input signals. A thermostat’s
input signals are different temperatures. The remote receiver’s input signals
come from the transmitter.
Connect each of the two wires leading from the TH and TH/ TP terminals on the
millivolt gas valve to either of the two wire terminals on the remote
receiver. Normally it does not matter which wires go to which terminal.
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS
The remote control receiver can be connected, in series, to a 24VAC transformer to the TR (transformer) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC transformer to either of the wire terminals on the remote receiver. Connect another wire (Not included) between the other receiver wire terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE.
SYSTEM CHECK
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 ON button on the transmitter to change the system to ON. The main gas flame should ignite.
- Press the ON button on the wall transmitter to change the system to OFF. The flame should extinguish (the pilot flame will remain on).
- Press the ON button on the wall transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a temperature of a least 2° F (1° 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 20 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° F (1° C). The 2° 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 ON button on the wall 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 ON button on the wall transmitter to OFF. The main gas flame and pilot flame should BOTH extinguish.
- Press the ON button on the wall transmitter to change the system to THERMO. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a temperature of at least 2° F (1° 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° F (1° 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° F (1° C). (The 2° F differential is the factory setting).
GENERAL INFORMATION
LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press
the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter security code upon
initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is
purchased from your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept
the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in
the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the
ON or OFF position. The LEARN button in located on the front face of the
receiver; inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver or
end of a paper clip gently press and release the black LEARN button inside the
hole. When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible
“beep”. After the receiver emits the beep press the transmitter ON button and
release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the
transmitter’s code has been accepted into the receiver.
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.
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 SKYTECH A-TS/R-2A should be at
least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the Wall
Transmitter no longer operates 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 Transmitter should operate
with as little as 2.4 volts of battery power, measuring at each of the 3-volt
button cell batteries.
FCC Notification
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that inference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
- Consult the dealer or an experience radio/TV technician for help
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the SKYTECH remote control. 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 receiver batteries are installed properly. If one battery is installed backward, receiver will not operate in remote mode. Be sure battery output is 5.3 volts or more. (Slide switch is independent of battery condition.)
-
Be sure the wall transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.4 volts each or more.
-
The wall transmitter has (2) 3 volt button cell batteries (1) button cell operates the LCD screen and the other button cell operates sending the RF signal. If the button cell battery that controls sending the RF signal is low or defective the LCD screen may work but the RF signal may not be sending (Check each button cell battery)
-
Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
• If the receiver beeps when the ON button is depressed on the wall transmitter they are communicating.
• If the receiver does not beep when the ON button is depressed on the wall transmitter, you will need to teach the receiver the code of the transmitter. This is done by holding the LEARN button down on the receiver (NOTE: The black slide Button covers the LEARN access hole when installed), and at the same time depress the ON button on the wall transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver. -
Make sure the wall transmitter is within the 15 to 20-feet range of the receiver.
-
Positioning of the receiver is important. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, the operation of the receiver may be affected as noted below. Reposition the receiver to improve operating range. It is suggested that a heat shield be installed to protect the receiver from extreme heat. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, this can:
• Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communicate with the receiver.
• Cause the working distance to be shorter than normal.
NOTE: A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperature inside the case exceeds 130°F, will cause THERMO-SAFETY feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to “reset” the receiver’s operation.
