BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Check and replace 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 and provides continuous output voltage of a least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote
receiver and 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. Recommended length is no longer than 20 feet. The
transmitter should operate with as little as 5.3 volts battery power.
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.
• Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter are within 20 to 25-feet of operating range.
• Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130
0
F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 130
0
F.
• If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
