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:
1. 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 5.0 volts or more. (Slide switch is independent of battery condition.)
2. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 5.0 V or more.
3. Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
• If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter they are communicating.
• If the receiver does not beep when the MODE/SET
button is depressed on the 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: Slide Button, White or Black, covers
the LEARN access hole when installed), and at the same time depress the MODE/SET button on the transmitter. A change in the
beeping pattern, at the receiver indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver.
4. Make sure the transmitter is within the 15’-20’ range of the receiver.
5. 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
0
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.
6. Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and heat conditions to the receiver,
some units may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication and operating
distance between the transmitter and the receiver. See RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT.
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: The slide button, White or Black, covers the ADJ access hole when installed.
A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise
about 5 degrees or a maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the distance problem.
B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original position and then turn adjustment
screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment screw, in either direction, you will go past the proper setting
(tuning).
