Handleiding voor de SkyTech SKY-5301 openhaardafstandsbediening en thermostaat

1. Inleiding

The SkyTech SKY-5301 remote control system provides a safe, reliable, and user-friendly method for operating gas heating appliances. This system allows for both thermostatic and manual control directly from the handheld transmitter. It operates using radio frequencies (RF) within a 20-foot range, utilizing non-directional signals. The system is pre-programmed with one of 1,048,567 security codes at the factory. For initial use, the remote receiver's code must be matched to the transmitter's code.

2. Veiligheidsinformatie

  • Lees alle instructies zorgvuldig door voor installatie en gebruik.
  • This system is designed for use with millivolt gas valves only. The receiver acts as a dry contact switch and will not output any voltage.
  • Zorg ervoor dat alle bedrading wordt uitgevoerd door een gekwalificeerde technicus en voldoet aan de plaatselijke voorschriften.
  • Do not expose the transmitter or receiver to water or extreme temperatures.
  • Vervang de batterijen onmiddellijk wanneer de batterij-indicator oplicht om een ​​goede werking te garanderen.
  • Buiten bereik van kinderen houden.

  • Knoppen: Three buttons (Up, Mode, Down) for navigation and setting adjustments.
  • Functionaliteit: Allows for manual or thermostatic control of the fireplace.

4.2. Wall-Mounted Receiver

  • Schuifschakelaar: Features ON, REMOTE, and OFF positions for direct control or remote operation.
  • LEER-knop: Used to synchronize the receiver with the transmitter.
  • Stroom: Battery-powered for reliable operation.
  • Verenigbaarheid: Designed exclusively for millivolt gas valves, acting as a dry contact switch. It does not output voltage.

5. Instellen

5.1. Batterij installatie

Install the included AA batteries into both the transmitter and the receiver unit.

  1. Zender: Open the battery compartment on the back of the handheld transmitter. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
  2. Ontvanger: Remove the wall plate cover. Open the battery compartment on the receiver unit. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.

5.2. Bedrading van de ontvanger

The receiver unit must be wired to your fireplace's millivolt gas valve. This process typically involves connecting two wires from the receiver to the appropriate terminals on the gas valve. Ensure the fireplace's gas supply is turned OFF before proceeding with any wiring.

  1. Locate the millivolt gas valve on your fireplace.
  2. Identify the two terminals designated for remote control or thermostat connection. These are typically labeled TH and TH/TP or similar.
  3. Connect the two wires from the receiver unit to these terminals. The polarity of these wires usually does not matter for a dry contact switch.
  4. Beveilig de verbindingen.

5.3. De ontvanger monteren

After wiring, mount the receiver unit to the wall using the provided wall plate and hardware. Ensure it is in a location where it can receive signals from the transmitter, ideally within 20 feet and not obstructed by large metal objects.

5.4. Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver (Learning Function)

The transmitter and receiver must be paired to communicate. This process is called the "learning function."

  1. Ensure batteries are installed in both units.
  2. On the receiver unit, slide the ON/REMOTE/OFF switch to the OP AFSTAND positie.
  3. Houd de LEREN button on the receiver for approximately 3 seconds until you hear a short beep.
  4. Within 20 seconds of the beep, press any button on the handheld transmitter.
  5. The receiver will emit a series of beeps, confirming that the transmitter and receiver are now paired.
  6. Test the connection by pressing the "Up" or "Down" button on the transmitter to see if the fireplace responds.
