Protection from extreme heat is very important. The remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceed

-

ing 130ºF. Extreme heat can cause damage, which is not covered under warranty.

• 

Before installation, make sure you turn the slide switch to OFF. After installation, make sure you turn the slide 

switch to REMOTE.

• 

The remote receiver can be placed close to the electrical control box.

Installation

Receiver

When plugged into a standard 110-120 VAC receptacle, 

the remote receiver operates on commands from the 

transmitter or from the slide switch on the face of the 

receiver.

•  ON:

 will manually turn on the fireplace.

•  REMOTE:

 will allow use of handheld transmitter. If 

the system does not respond to the transmitter on 

initial use, check the battery positions in the remote. 

If that does not work, see the SECURITY CODE 

section.

•  OFF: 

will disable the remote receiver. 

•  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.

CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” 

 

 

This remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to  

“LOCK-OUT” operation of the appliance from the TRANSMITTER when it is in the “LOCK OUT” mode. 

 

SETTING “LOCK-OUT”  

 

 

 

1. 

To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the ON and OFF icons on the LCD 

screen together, for 5 seconds.  The lock icon will appear on the LCD screen. 

2. 

To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the ON and OFF icons on the LCD screen 

together, for 5 seconds.  The lock icon will disappear on the LCD screen and the system 

will return to its normal operating condition. 

 

 

 

NOTE:  If the appliance is already operating in the ON mode engaging the “LOCK-OUT” 

will not cancel the operating MODE.  Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual 

operation of the TRANSMITTER 

 

 

 

 

 

RECEIVER 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When plugged into a standard 110-120 VAC receptacle, the remote receiver  

 

 

 

 

 

 

operates on commands from the transmitter or from the slide switch on the top  

 

 

 

 

 

 

of the receiver (This switch is to be used during a power outage to operate the  

 

 

 

 

 

 

appliance manually). The remote receiver is manufactured with a “dry contact”  

 

 

 

 

 

 

relay in its circuitry that operates like an on/off switch, however, no power or  

 

 

 

 

 

 

current passes from the 110-120 VAC input side to the wires leading from the  

 

 

 

 

 

 

output side of the remote receiver. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This 5010 remote control system can be used in simplified installations    

 

 

 

 

 

               to control a Millivolt gas valve without any additional relays or components.

ed with this kit. Install the AAA Batteries supplied with the 

unit into the battery compartment. It is recommended to 

use ALKALINE batteries with this product. 

Be sure the 

batteries are installed with the (+) and (-) ends facing 

in the correct direction

.

When the batteries are installed, the temperature indica

-

tor should have a value and the ON and OFF buttons 

should appear on the screen. If they do not appear, 

check the orientation of the batteries and change if nec-

essary.

Note: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring com

-

ponents in the transmitter, it may be necessary to allow 

the remote to stabilize to room temperature before ac

-

curate room temperatures are displayed on the screen. 

If the remote is activated from a severe cold condition, it 

can take up to fifteen minutes for accurate temperature 

readings to appear.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION 

 

This SKYTECH remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas 

heating appliances.  The system can be operated manually from the transmitter.  The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within 

a 20-foot range using non-directional signals.  The system operates one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into the 

transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver’s code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.  

 

The transmitter operates on 4 AAA-size 1.5V batteries.  It is recommended that 

ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational 

performance.  

IMPORTANT

:  New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper 

operation of the multi-function transmitter.  Insert 4 AAA-size 1.5 V batteries into the 

battery compartment on the back of the transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends of the 

batteries as indicated on the casing.  When the batteries are inserted, the screen at right 

(with similar numbers) will display.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: 

 On initial start up if a LOW battery icon appears on  

the screen,  check the position of the batteries. 

 

Note:

  Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring  

components in the transmitter, it may be necessary to  

allow the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature  

before accurate room temperatures are displayed on 

the screen.  If the transmitter is activated from a  

severe cold condition, it can take up to fifteen minutes 

for accurate temperature readings to appear.
