NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 2-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the
REMOTE position. The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system
operation.
POWER SETTING – HI/LO FEATURE
The HI/LO flame control electronics in the remote control receiver has the capability of "powering" two different types of DC-powered
components. If any operational problems are noted, contact Skytech Systems, Inc.
The RECEIVER HI/LO feature comes from the factory programmed to provide pulse DC voltage (3.0 VDC) to a 3 volt latching solenoid.
When this RCAF-3 is used with a HI/LO DC motor drive the receiver must be changed from (HI/LO Pulse Power) to (HI/LO Continuous
Power.
1. Set the receiver in the REMOTE position using the OFF/REMOTE switch on
the front of the receiver.
2. Press and hold the learn button on the receiver there will be a beep when
the button is first pressed the after holding the learn button down for 10
seconds there will be another beep this will signal that the power setting has
been changed.
FUNCTIONS
:
1. With the slide switch in the REMOTE position, the system will only operate if
the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter. Upon initial
use or after an extended period of no use, the ON button may have to be
pressed for up to three seconds. If the system does not respond to the
transmitter on initial use, see Matching Security Codes.
2. With the slide in the OFF position, the system is off.
3. 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. Placing the slide
switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety "lock out" by both
turning the system OFF and rendering the transmitter inoperative.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT REMOTE RECEIVER DIRECTLY TO 110-120VAC POWER. THIS WILL BURN
OUT THE RECEIVER. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM MANUFACTURER OF GAS VALVE FOR
CORRECT WIRING PROCEDURES. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO GAS VALVE AND REMOTE RECEIVER.
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the
receiver case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Install 4 AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the RCAF-3. For best performance, batteries should be factory fresh when installed. Very
little battery power is required to operate the AF-2000 gas control valve ON/OFF. Four new AA ALKALINE 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.
