Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your Skytech 1420 remote control system. If you are unsure about any steps, it is recommended to consult a qualified professional.

Before installing the remote system, verify that your gas fireplace is remote-ready. This typically involves checking for existing control mechanisms or specific terminals on the gas valve.

  • Check for a Wall Switch: Look for a wall-mounted switch that controls your fireplace.
  • Check for a Fireplace Switch: Inspect inside the fireplace, often behind a louver or on a decorative trim, for an existing switch.

If a switch is present, your fireplace is likely compatible with a Skytech remote system.

2. Identify Gas Valve Terminals

If no switch is found, locate the gas valve within your fireplace. Examine the gas valve for terminals labeled TH, TP, or THTP. The presence of these terminals indicates that your fireplace is remote-ready and can connect to a Skytech receiver box.
