Skytech CON Battery Operated Fireplace Remote Control for Latching Solenoid

The Skytech CON 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 ft. 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. 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.
