1. Introducció
The SkyTech 4001 On/Off Fireplace Remote Control system provides wireless control for gas heating fireplaces. This system allows you to operate your fireplace with a simple click of a button, enhancing convenience and comfort. The remote control transmitter uses one 12V battery, and the receiver operates on four AA batteries. The receiver is designed to connect to all standard millivolt valves and can be mounted up to 20 feet away from the fireplace.
2. Components del sistema
The SkyTech 4001 system typically includes the following main components:
- Transmissor de control remot: The handheld device used to send ON/OFF signals to the fireplace.
- Receiver Box: This unit receives signals from the transmitter and connects to your fireplace's gas valve. It features a 'LEARN' button for pairing and a manual ON/REMOTE/OFF switch.
- Wall Plate (Optional): A cover plate for mounting the receiver box on a wall.

3. Fireplace Compatibility Check
Before installation, ensure your fireplace is compatible with a SkyTech remote system. Compatibility is generally determined by the presence of a switch or specific terminals on your gas valve.
3.1 Identifying Compatibility:
- Interruptor de paret: Look for a wall-mounted switch that controls your fireplace. If present, your fireplace is likely compatible.
- Fireplace Louver Switch: Check inside the fireplace, behind a louver, for a switch.
- Gas Valve Terminals: Locate your fireplace's gas valve. If you find terminals labeled 'TH', 'TP', or 'TH/TP', your fireplace is remote-ready for a SkyTech receiver box.
If your fireplace has an electronic gas valve without these terminals, refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional for alternative remote solutions.
