COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety
when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the receiver.
The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES – ON/ ON THERMO.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fifteen (15) minutes, to the receiver, indicating
that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 15
minutes, the IC software, in the RECEIVER, will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If during this 2-hour period,
the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the appliance being controlled by the receiver.
The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the
RECEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter ON or MODE Button is pressed to reset the
receiver. The intermittent 4-second beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the appliance, you must press the ON or MODE button on the transmitter. By turning the
system to ON, the COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal operation depending on
the MODE selected at the transmitter. The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of
the normal operating range or should the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each transmitter can use one of 1,048,576 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the
security code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer
or the factory. When matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT
"LEARN" if the slide switch is in the OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by pushing in the
LEARN button on the top of the remote receiver and then pressing any button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at
the receiver, indicates the transmitter's code has been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new
transmitter, the new security code will overwrite the old one.
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.
BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH 1001TH should be at least 12 months. Check and 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 5.3 volts. The transmitter should operate with as little as 2.5
volts battery power.
