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.

The SkyTech SKY-5301 system consists of a handheld transmitter and a wall-mounted receiver unit. Understanding each component is essential for proper setup and operation.

Afbeelding 1: Overview of the SkyTech SKY-5301 system, showing the handheld transmitter with its backlit LCD screen displaying temperature and time, and the wall-mounted receiver with its ON/REMOTE/OFF slider switch and LEARN button.
4.1. Handheld Transmitter
- LCD-scherm: Shows room temperature, set temperature, 24-hour clock, and a 9-hour countdown timer. Features a backlight for visibility.
- 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.
- Zender: Open the battery compartment on the back of the handheld transmitter. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
- 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.
- Locate the millivolt gas valve on your fireplace.
- Identify the two terminals designated for remote control or thermostat connection. These are typically labeled TH and TH/TP or similar.
- 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.
- 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."
- Ensure batteries are installed in both units.
- On the receiver unit, slide the ON/REMOTE/OFF switch to the OP AFSTAND positie.
- Houd de LEREN button on the receiver for approximately 3 seconds until you hear a short beep.
- Within 20 seconds of the beep, press any button on the handheld transmitter.
- The receiver will emit a series of beeps, confirming that the transmitter and receiver are now paired.
- Test the connection by pressing the "Up" or "Down" button on the transmitter to see if the fireplace responds.
6. Bediening
6.1. Transmitter Display and Controls
The backlit LCD on the transmitter provides essential information and allows for easy control.
- Display informatie:
- Huidige kamertemperatuur
- Temperatuur instellen

- Thermostatische modus: The fireplace will turn ON or OFF automatically to maintain the set temperature.
6.3. Temperatuur instellen
- Druk op de MODUS/SET button until the display shows the desired operating mode (e.g., "THERMO").
- Gebruik de OMHOOG (▲) or OMLAAG (▼) buttons to adjust the set temperature to your desired level. The display will show the set temperature.
- The system will automatically maintain this temperature in thermostatic mode.
6.4. De timer instellen
The 9-hour countdown timer can be used to automatically turn off the fireplace after a set duration.
- Druk op de MODUS/SET button until the display shows "TIMER".
- Gebruik de OMHOOG (▲) or OMLAAG (▼) buttons to set the desired countdown duration (up to 9 hours).
