DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE
INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas
heating appliances. The system is operated manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies
(RF) within a 20-foot range using non-directional signals. The system operates on one of 255 security codes that are
programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.
This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote
control to power a DC servo motor such as those used with gas valves
used in some decorative gas logs, gas replaces and other gas heating
appliances.
The servo motor circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to operate
a servomotor. The circuit has reversing polarity software, which reverses
the positive (+) and negative (-) output of the receiver’s battery power to
drive the servo motor forward/backward (HI/LO FLAME). The servo motor
is controlled by the remote transmitter.
The transmitter operates on a 12V battery (A-23). Before using the
transmitter install the 12-volt battery in the battery compartment.
It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer
battery life and maximum operational performance.
The transmitter has ON/HI and LO/OFF functions that are activated by
pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the
transmitter is pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates to verify
that a signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three
seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is
part of the system’s design. If the signal light does not illuminate, check
the position of the transmitter’s battery.

The electronics in the remote control system have the capability of "powering" two different types of DC-powered compo-
nents. If any operational problems are noted contact Skytech Systems, Inc.
The RECEIVER comes from the factory programmed to provide continuous DC voltage (4.5 VDC to 6.0 VDC) to a servo-
motor
