Thermostat can also be mounted onto an existing (Plastic) electrical box.6. Base plate should be mounted level on the wall for best operation.REMOTE RECEIVERIMPORTANT: THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130 DEGREE F.The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA- size batteries (Included). It is recommended that ALKALINEbatteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fullycharged batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote receiver.NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remotereceiver is in the REMOTE (center) position.The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the thermostat to control systemoperation. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch (see figure at right) for selecting the mode of operation:ON/REMOTE/OFF.• With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the word TOP), the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF orREMOTE position. This manual switch will turn ON or OFF the system, without the transmitter or good batteries.• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives commands from thethermostat. Upon initial use or after an extended period of no use the ON button must be pressed for up to five seconds.• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the word TOP), the system is off.• 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 oftime. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position also functions as asafety “lock out” by both turning the system off and rendering the thermostat inoperative.INSTALLATIONNOTE: When the remote receiver is installed as a wall switch, It is recommended that it be installed in a PLASTIC switch box. Remote functions may not operate properly if the remotereceiver is installed in a steel switch box.Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position (toward the small hole on the receiver’s face). It is recommended that 18 gauge,stranded wires (Included) be used for wire installation between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic ignition systemand the wire terminals on the remote receiver. For best results, use 18-gauge wire that has not been spliced and measuring no longer than 20ft.WALL MOUNT Install four 1.5V AA-size ALKALINE batteries (Included) in the remote receiver. For best performance,remote receiver batteries should be factory fresh when installed. Very little battery power is required tooperate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best when battery output is greaterthan 5.3 volts. For new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts.Position the remote receiver so the word TOP is facing up, then install the remote receiver into theplastic switch box using the two long screws provided. Install the cover plate using the two short screwsprovided.Push the remote receiver slide button over the remote receiver slide switch.

Reverse installation of the slidebutton if it appears off center.PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130 degrees F. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.WIRING INSTRUCTIONSWARNINGDO NOT CONNECT REMOTE RECEIVER DIRECTLY TO 110-120 VAC POWER. THIS WILL BURN OUT THEREMOTE RECEIVER AND THE ELECTRONIC MODULE. CONSULT GAS APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER’SINSTRUCTIONS AND WIRING SCHEMATICS FOR PROPER PLACEMENT OF ALL WIRES. ALLELECTRONIC MODULES ARE TO BE WIRED TO MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONSTHE DIAGRAMS THAT FOLLOW ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONSFROM MANUFACTURER OF GAS VALVE AND/OR ELECTRONIC MODULE FOR CORRECT WIRINGPROCEDURES. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TOELETRONIC MODULE. GAS VALVE, AND REMOTE RECEIVER.A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated bythis remote should install this remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections WILL cause damage to the gasvalve or electronic module operating the gas appliance and may also damage the remote receiver. Attach the two 18gauge wires provided to the receiver as shown.WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVESInstaller must connect two 18 gauge wires from the remote receiver to the TH and TH/TP terminals onthe millivolt gas valve. (It does not matter which receiver wires are connected to the designatedterminals listed above.)Operation of the remote receiver is similar to a wall switch in that both turn the gas valve on and off.The remote receiver’s input signals come from the ON/OFF buttons on the transmitter.WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONSConnect the neutral wire from the 24VAC transformer to the TR (transformer) terminal on theELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC transformer to either of the wireterminals on the remote receiver. Connect another wire (included) between the other receiver wireterminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE.

The word (SET) will not appear.1. This TS/R-2 Wall/transmitter has ON, OFF, and SET functions that are activated by pressing thebuttons on the face of the transmitter.2. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of five seconds before the remote receiver will respond to thetransmitter. This is part of the system’s design. If the LCD will not come on, check the 3V-button cellbattery.SETTING MANUAL OPERATION1. When the ON button on the wall/transmitter is pressed a flame icon on the LCD screen wil appearwhen the appliance is ON.2. When the appliance is OFF the flame icon will not appear.SETTING THREMOSTAT OPERATION 1. If the transmitter is in the thermostat mode the word (SET) will appear on the LCD screen. 2. When the SET button is pressed the temperature digits will begin to flash. 3. While the temperature digits are flashing use the ON button to increase the set temperature or use the OFF button to decrease the set temperature to your desired temperature.4. When the desired temperature setting is reached press the SET button, again and the word SETwill appear on the LCD screen and now the transmitter will automatically send an ON or OFFsignal to the receiver.5. To disengage the thermostat mode push and hold the SET button until (2) dashes appear on theLCD screen. When you release the SET button this will disengage the thermostat mode and theword SET will disappear from the LCD screen.SETTING 0 F / 0 C SCALEThe factory setting for temperature is degrees Fahrenheit ( 0 F ) . To change this setting to Centigrade (0 C ), you must press and hold both theON and OFF buttons on the transmitter at the same time until the LCD displays the change. If you want to convert back, repeat the aboveprocedure.BATTERY LIFELife expectancy of alkaline batteries in the SKYTECH TS/R-2 should be at least 12 months. Replace all batteries annually. When the wallthermostat no longer operates the receiver. Or the remote receiver does not function at all; the batteries should be checked. It is important thatthe remote receiver batteries are fully charged, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between theremote receiver and the gas valve directly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more batterypower is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. The wall thermostat should operate with as little as 4.0volts battery power, Measured at the (2) 3 volt button cell batteries.ROOM TEMP123SETROOM TEMPSET54ROOM TEMPROOM TEMPSETROOM TEMPSETONSETOFF
