This is a single functioning wireless remote control system for operating gas valves with ON/OFF latching solenoids
IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 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.
TRANSMITTER
This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to power a ON/OFF latching solenoid such as those used with gas valves used in some decorative gas logs, gas fireplaces and other gas heating appliances.

The circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to operate a latching solenoid. The circuit has reversing polarity software which reverses the positive (+) and negative (-) output of the receiver's battery power to drive solenoid (ON/OFF FLAME) or open/close. The SYSTEM is controlled by the remote transmitter.
The transmitter operates on a 12V battery made specifically for remote controls and electronic lighters. Before using the transmitter install the
12-volt (A-23) 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 and 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.
POWER SETTING - CON 1001
The electronics in the remote control system have the capability of "powering" two different types of DC-powered components. If any operational problems accure contact Skytech Systems, Inc.
The RECEIVER comes from the factory programmed to provide pulse DC voltage (5.5) VDC to 6.3 VDC) to a latching solenoid.

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.
NOTE: This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or fire feature. Adults must be present when the Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance
or fire feature when Adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or fire feature burning unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an Adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or
fire feature for any length of time, then the handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the "OFF" position.
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.
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.
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position before connecting wires. For best results it is recommended that 18 gauge stranded wires should be used to make connections and no longer than 20-feet.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO A VALVE WITH THE LATCHING SOLENOID 1. Connect the BLACK 18 gage stranded wire with the 1/4' female terminal from the receiver to the BLACK wire with the
1/4" male terminals from the valve solenoid. 2. Connect the RED 18 gage stranded wire with the 1/4' female terminal from the receiver to the RED wire with the 1/4"
male terminals from the valve solenoid. 3. After receiver wires are connected to the valve solenoid wire make sure the receiver shield is located over the
receiver and then locate the receiver in an area that will not exceed the 130°F.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Operation of these controls is dependent on which wire is attached to which terminal. If operation of control does not correspond to operating buttons on transmitter, reverse wire installation at the receiver or at control.

LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver or end of a paperclip gently press and release the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible "beep". After the receiver emits the beep press ANY transmitter button and release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter's code has been accepted into the receiver.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again--this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry--and try up to two or three more times.
TRANSMITTER WALL CLIP
The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the clip provided. If the clip is installed
on a solid wood wall, drill 1/8" pilot holes and install with the screws provided. If it is installed on a plaster/wallboard wall, first drill two 1/4" holes into the wall. Then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors flush with the wall; then install the screws provided.

OPERATION
1. This remote control will operate the gas valves latching solenoid to open the gas flow to full ON. 2. When the ON button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a pulse
of 6-volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then opens the gas flow to the burner then to full ON. 3. When the OFF button is depressed the transmitter sends a RF signal to the receiver. The receiver then sends a pulse
of 6- volts of power to the solenoid. The solenoid then closes the gas flow to the burner then to full OFF. 4. The remote control will only work with the hand held transmitter. The receiver slide switch is only for positive OFF or
REMOTE operation.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the CON-1001-1 can be up to 12 months depending on use of the solenoid function. Replace all batteries annually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter's range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing combined output voltage of at least 5.0 volts. The transmitter should operate with as little as 9.0 volts battery power. NOTE: Extensive use of the Solenoid will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly. NOTE: Extensive use of the Latching Solenoid (ON/OFF) will reduce the receiver's battery life significantly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the CON-1001-1 remote system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the remote in the following manner:
1. Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly.
2. Check battery in TRANSMITTER to ensure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.
3. Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER is within 20 to 25-feet operating range. 4. Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 120° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above
115° F. 5. If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened. 6. Clear Codes: Memory in the receiver might be full if the learn button is pressed too many times. If this happens it will
not allow any more codes to be learned and no audible beep will be heard. To clear memory, place the receiver slide switch into the REMOTE position. Press the learn button and release after 10 seconds. You should hear three (3) long audible beeps indicating all codes have cleared. You can now "learn" the transmitter to the receiver as described in the General Information Section.
