PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
The next eight pages provide information for the planning portion of your project.
P1. LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for the Halcyon Gas Fireplace. Considerations include
observing the required clearances to combustible materials, the accessibility of the gas and electric supply and the routing of the
gas vent.
A number of installation styles are possible; a corner, an island, a peninsula, built into a wall or enclosed by walls.
For maximum performance, you should choose a location which minimizes the number of bends and horizontal lengths in the
venting run. Figure 6 shows some example installations.
Since the Halcyon Gas Fireplace weighs several hundred pounds, it must be placed on a sturdy and level surface. It can be placed
on the floor or a raised platform made of wood or non-combustible materials - do not place the Fireplace on carpet or vinyl tile.

PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
P2. ABOVE THE FIREPLACE
Almost all of the heat produced by the Halcyon Gas Fireplace rises directly up the wall into which it is set. This subjects the wall
above the Fireplace (and anything attached to the wall) to elevated temperatures. The European Home Remote Heat Kit (included)
is designed to keep the wall cooler by moving heat away from the Fireplace. Your Fireplace is supplied with enough insulated,
flexible duct to allow the Remote Heat Kit to be installed in a simple, ‘bump-in’ enclosure. If your installation requires more duct it
is available through your retailer or from European Home. NOTE: A grille for each duct box is NOT included and must be provided
by the customer. The grille MUST have a minimum open area of 41%.
Figure 9 and Table 4 show some typical wall surface temperatures at various distances from the Facing Bead on the Halcyon Gas
Fireplace. These temperatures are shown with no mantel attached. The inclusion of a mantel will have no material affect on the
wall temperatures above the Fireplace.
This information is intended to better inform your decision to attach objects above the Fireplace. European Home cannot predict
the effects of heat on anything attached above the Fireplace and the final choice of objects, attachments and materials rests
entirely with the customer. European Home takes no responsibility for any effects, good or bad, of heat upon any objects attached
above the Fireplace.

PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
P3. PLANNING YOUR VENT RUN
The first vent section must be a 12”, or longer, vertical section. Try to minimize the length of horizontal sections and the number of
elbows. Your proposed vent configuration should offer as little resistance as possible to the rising of hot air.
Any venting configuration used by the Halcyon must fall within the limits of Chart 1. All measurements are taken from the center
of the vent connector on the top of the Halcyon cabinet. See Figure 10.
To use the Chart 1, measure the total rise and total run of your proposed venting configuration. On the chart, draw a line between
the two numbers (top and bottom rows of the chart) representing your run and the two numbers (left and right columns of the
chart) representing your rise. Mark the point at which the lines intersect. If that point falls in a black area the configuration is not
permitted. Installations whose rise or run falls outside the chart are not permitted.
For example, if your vent rise is 18 feet and your vent run is 12 feet the venting is not permitted. Conversely, if your vent rises 7 feet
and your vent run is 11 feet the venting is permitted.

WHEN ENCLOSING YOUR FIREPLACE, THE USE OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE BUILDING MATERIALS IS REQUIRED.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Materials that can catch fire and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with, wood, wood pulp,
paper, plastic or any other material that can catch fire and burn is considered combustible. Even though these materials may have
been 'flame-proofed', made 'fire-resistant' or are 'fire-rated' they are considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall are
both combustible.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A given material is said to be non-combustible when it cannot catch fire and burn. For example, materials made entirely, or in
combinations, of, stone, brick, concrete, tile, steel, plaster or glass are considered non-combustible.

INSTALLATION
The Rough Installation portion of your project includes placing the cabinet, connecting the gas and making the electrical connections.
The following steps provide the detail.
1. REMOVE THE GLASS PANEL ASSEMBLY
The glass panel is fastened to the cabinet at the factory and should be removed and placed in a safe location to avoid damage.
See Section 8 (INSTALL THE GLASS PANEL ASSEMBLY) for details. Due to the size and weight of the glass panel assembly, the
assistance of a helper is recommended.
Note
TO USE LP GAS, CONVERT THE HALCYON GAS FIREPLACE NOW USING ONLY THE H50-SA-LPCK-01 LP GAS CONVERSION KIT.
The H50-SA-LPCK-01 LP Gas Conversion Kit is sold separately. See APPENDIX A for complete conversion instructions.
Note
Check the VENTING section now to determine if your installation requires the Horizontal Heat Shield. If required, install it now.
2. INSTALL THE RELIEF DOORS
a. When shipped, four relief doors are not installed and must be installed on the top of the firebox prior to installation. These four
relief doors include gasket material that covers the full bottom surface. Use care in handling the relief doors to avoid damage
to the gasket material.
b. The relief openings are located behind the left and right access doors mounted on the front of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace.

INSTALLATION
In order to ease the latching/unlatching of the glass panel assembly, the Halcyon Gas Fireplace comes equipped with a standard
5/8” combination wrench. The wrench is used to make it easier to move the latches – your fingers can do the job just as well.
The tab on the handle of the latches is sized to accept the “box”, or closed, end of the wrench. Holding the wrench at about a 45°
angle to the latch, slip the box end of the wrench over the tab of the latch thus creating an extension of the latch. See Figure 23.
To remove the glass panel assembly, refer to Figure 23 and:
a) Unfasten Latch 2 and Latch 3 by swinging Latch 2 clockwise and Latch 3 counter-clockwise until they swing free of their
catches.
b) Unfasten Latch 1 and Latch 4 by swinging Latch 1 clockwise and Latch 4 counter-clockwise until they swing free of their
catches.
c) Using two hands, swing the bottom edge of the panel out and lift the top of the panel off its mounting rail while moving the
glass panel toward yourself.
To install the glass panel assembly, refer to Figure 23 and:
a) Tilt the top of the glass panel in towards the Fireplace and hang the top lip on its mounting rail on the Fireplace ensuring that
the glass is centered on the face and the gasket does not get pinched at the top of the frame.
b) Fasten Latch 2 and Latch 3 by swinging Latch 2 counter-clockwise and Latch 3 clockwise until they engage their catches.
Fasten the two latches at the same time to ensure that the panel remains centered.
c) Fasten Latch 1 and Latch 4 by swinging Latch 1 counter-clockwise and Latch 4 clockwise until they engage their catches.

INSTALLATION - VENTING
9. CONFIGURING THE VENTING
This section provides venting information which is specific to the Halcyon Gas Fireplace.
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace is a direct vent fireplace that uses a co-axial or “pipe within a pipe” venting system. The outer “pipe”
or vent (8” diameter) conducts outside air into the Fireplace and the inner vent (5” diameter) carries the exhaust outside. This
technology, which can run either horizontally through a side wall or vertically through the roof, produces an efficient system
because conditioned building air is not used for combustion.
All of the following bulleted points apply to every installation:
•
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace requires 5”/8” direct vent components from any of the manufacturers listed in Table 8. Approved
terminations are also listed in Table 8.
•
All measurements are taken from the center of the vent connector on the top of the Halcyon cabinet (see Figure 24) and all
configurations must fall within the acceptable range of Chart 1.
•
The maximum allowable rise is forty feet and the maximum allowable run is fifteen feet but not in combination; see Chart 1.
•
The minimum vent configuration is a 12” vertical rise to a 90° elbow plus a 6” horizontal run to a sidewall termination. This
means that the first vent section must be a 12”, or longer, vertical section.

•
When installed with one foot of rise, the Halcyon can be installed with no more than two 90° elbows OR four 45° elbows OR a
combination totaling no more than 180° ‘elbow degrees’. For example, a combination of one 90° elbow and two 45° elbows is
allowed (90° + 45° + 45° equals 180°) but a combination of two 90° elbows and two 45° elbows is not allowed (the total equals
270°.)
•
When installed with more than one foot of rise, the Halcyon can be installed with no more than three 90° elbows OR six 45°
elbows OR a combination totaling no more than 270° ‘elbow degrees’. For example, a combination of two 90° elbows and
two 45° elbows is allowed (90° + 90° + 45°+ 45° equals 270°) but a combination of two 90° elbows and three 45° elbows is not
allowed (the total equals 315°.) These elbows can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
•
The first 90° elbow must have the Horizontal Heat Shield either mounted to the top of the elbow with the enclosed Heat
Shield Mounting Bracket or mounted on the wall as shown in Figure 25.
•
A minimum clearance of 11/2” must be maintained between combustible materials and any horizontal or vertical vent pipe
surface.
•
The horizontal parts of the venting must be pitched up, away from the Fireplace. For every 12 inches of horizontal run, the
venting must rise 1/4” toward the termination. The venting must never run downward.
•
Whenever venting passes through a wall, a heat shield, or ‘wall thimble’, from any of the manufacturers listed in Table 8 must
be installed.

INSTALLATION - VENTING
10. ADJUSTING THE DRAFT
As the Halcyon Gas Fireplace warms the attached venting, a draft is created. This draft acts on both the intake and exhaust sides
of the venting and produces an effect on the Fireplace flames. In order to obtain the performance for which the Halcyon was
designed, the air intake and exhaust outlet must be adjusted before the installation is complete.
These adjustments are made by setting an Adjustment Quadrant according to Chart 2 (when burning natural gas) or Chart 3 (when
burning LP gas.) On each Chart the air intake setting is designated by a letter from A through E and the exhaust outlet setting is
designated by a number from 0 through 4.
Because the Quadrants are accessible only through the right hand opening in the cabinet face (shown in Figure 26), the wall must
remain open until the Fireplace has been tested and is operating properly.

Quadrant
a) Measure the total amount of vertical rise and the total
amount of horizontal run in your configuration. (The
example in Figure 26 has 8 feet of rise and 9 feet (3’ + 6’ =
9’) of run.)
b) Using the appropriate Chart (Natural or LP gas), find the
number equal to your rise in the lefthand column and the
number equal to your run in the bottom row.
c) The intersection of your rise and run will be in a distinct
section of the Chart labeled with a double box like this:
If the intersection square is black the vent configuration is
NOT allowed. The lefthand half of the box shows the
setting for the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant and the
righthand half shows the setting for the Exhaust Outlet
Adjustment Quadrant.

INSTALLATION - VENTING
d) Loosen the wingnut holding the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant and turn the Quadrant to align the index mark with the
appropriate setting on the Quadrant. Tighten the wingnut so that Quadrant can’t move.
e) Loosen the wingnut holding the Exhaust Outlet Adjustment Quadrant and turn the Quadrant to align the index mark with the
appropriate setting on the Quadrant. Tighten the wingnut so that Quadrant can’t move.
Example A
Using the vent configuration shown in Figure 27, and assuming LP gas fuel, we see that the intersection of 8 feet (total rise) and 9
feet (total run) falls within the section labeled:
B1/2 21/2
This means that the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one half of the way between B and C and the Exhaust
Outlet Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one half of the way between 2 and 3.
Example B
With the same Figure 27 example but assuming natural gas fuel, the intersection of an 8 foot rise and a 9 foot run falls within the
section labeled:
C1/2 31/4
In this case, the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one half of the way between C and D and the Exhaust Outlet
Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one quarter of the way between 3 and 4.

INSTALLATION - REMOTE HEAT KIT
11. INSTALLING THE REMOTE HEAT KIT
The Halcyon Remote Heat Kit provides a method by which heat is moved away from the Halcyon Gas Fireplace. This serves
two purposes; to lower the temperature of the wall face above the Halcyon and to provide heat to another part of the room or
building.
The Remote Heat Kit consists of the following pieces:
•
•
•
Flexible Insulated Duct
(2) 10” x 12” Duct Boxes
(2) Duct Collars
NOTE: A grille for each duct box is NOT included and must be provided by the customer. The grille MUST have a minimum open
area of 41%.
PLANNING
The Remote Heat Kit operates passively; it has no fan. This means that your installation must allow for the unobstructed, free flow
of warm air from the Halcyon Gas Fireplace, through the duct and out of the duct boxes. This can be accomplished by ensuring
that:
a. the duct always rises and
b. the duct is never blocked and
c. the duct boxes are at the high point (and the Halcyon is at the low point) of the Heat Kit installation.
For best performance, i.e. the lowest wall temperature and most warm air, both Remote Heat ports on the Halcyon Gas Fireplace
must be opened and have ducts properly attached. If only one port is ducted the resulting wall temperature will be higher than if
two ports are ducted.
The Remote Heat Kit components can accommodate several different installation configurations but the following applies to
every installation:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
When installed, the center of the Remote Heat Kit duct box must be at least 12 inches above the top of the cabinet and
should be in line with the center of the cabinet.
The insulated duct can be no longer than 10 feet.
At least 30% of the total length of the insulated duct must run vertically.
When choosing the duct box finish, do not use a register instead of a grille. If the flow of warm air from the Halcyon Gas
Fireplace is blocked the wall above the Glass Panel Assembly will be subjected to elevated temperatures. The grille MUST
have a minimum open area of 41%.
The insulated duct must not terminate in a floor-mounted grille; only wall-mounted grilles are permitted.
The top of the duct box must be at least one inch below any ceiling or mantel. See Figure 30.
All ducts must be fixed so as to remain at least 11/2” away from any vertical venting component and 6” away from any
horizontal venting component.
The ducts must always terminate within the building envelope AND the ducts MUST terminate in an area which allows the
free flow of cool air back to the fireplace front. Do not terminate the ducts in an enclosed room or space.

OPERATION
As the Halcyon Gas Fireplace heats the air within the cabinet
it rises up through the insulated ducts and out through the
grilles. This heated air is replaced with cooler room air that
enters the cabinet from around the Glass Panel Assembly.
When the Halcyon cools, the movement of air stops.

14. FINE-TUNING the FIREPLACE
This section will help you get the best performance from your Halcyon Gas Fireplace.
Note
DO NOT enclose the Halcyon Gas Fireplace until:
• all venting is properly and permanently connected
• the gas supply and electric supply have been tested and are operating properly
• the installation has been inspected and approved by the local code inspection authority
• the Fireplace has been fired and fine-tuned
The settings shown on Charts 2 and 3, along with the primary air settings, are the result of extensive testing and are sufficient
in nearly every case. However, additional adjustments may be required by certain, specific installation conditions. For example,
an installation on a north wall may require settings which are slightly different from those used in a south wall installation. You’ll
know if further fine-tuning is required by looking at the flames in a Fireplace which has been operating for at least an hour.
The flames on your Halcyon Gas Fireplace should be mostly yellow, about four inches long and have some motion to them. They
should be neither short and blue nor long and sooty. If, after operating your Fireplace for at least one hour, the flames look good
then no further adjustment is necessary. See Figure 33.
If an adjustment is necessary it is dependent on the type of fuel that is being used. When burning natural gas, flames that are too
short or too blue will be the most common observation. When burning LP gas, flames that are too long and too sooty will be most
common. Each situation requires different actions.
This fine-tuning must be done with the Fireplace installed and operating. As the Fireplace surfaces will be very hot, care must be
taken to avoid serious burns. Always wear gloves and other protective equipment.
SHORT, BLUE and NG
When burning natural gas and the flames are short and blue:
1. If they are open, completely close both primary burner air adjusters.
2. If the appearance of the flame did not change, adjust the air inlet restrictor by:
a) Loosening the intake quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjust the intake quadrant up the scale by a 1/4 increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the flames
d) Repeat Step 2 until the flames are taller and more luminescent. If more than one full increment is required and the flames
are still too blue and short then go to Step 3, below.
3. Adjust the exhaust restrictor by:
a) Loosening the exhaust quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjust the exhaust quadrant up the scale by a 1/4 increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the flames
d) Repeat Step 3 until the flames are taller and more luminescent. If more than one full increment is required and the flames
are still too short and blue there may be an installation problem. Consult with a European Home representative.

COMPLETING the INSTALLATION
LONG, SOOTY and LP
When burning LP gas and the flames are long and sooty:
1. If the primary burner air adjusters are installed, remove them
2. If the appearance of the flame did not change, adjust the air inlet restrictor by:
a) Loosening the intake quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjusting the intake quadrant down the scale by a 1/4 increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the flames
d) Repeat Step 2 until the flame tips become shorter and lighter in color. If more than one full increment is required and the
flames are still too long and sooty then go to Step 3, below.
3. Adjust the exhaust restrictor by:
a) Loosening the exhaust quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjust the exhaust quadrant down the scale by a 1/4 increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the flames
d) Repeat Step 3 until the flames are shorter and more luminescent. If more than one full increment is required and the flames
are still too long and sooty there may be an installation problem. Consult with a European Home representative.
Once all adjustments are made, tighten both the Air Intake and Exhaust Outlet Quadrant locking wing nuts. Turn the Fireplace off
and let it cool to room temperature. Close the access doors the before proceeding with the installation.

15. FACING and FINISHING
You’re almost finished!
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace is designed to be enclosed with common building materials; wood, drywall, plaster, etc.
•
Any combustible mantels must be installed within the limits described in Section P4 (MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.)
•
Provided the required clearances are maintained, the walls that enclose the side and rear of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace may be
constructed of combustible material. The facing within the limits shown in Figure 13, however, must be made of non-combustible
material.
•
The Halcyon was designed to be faced with approved 1/2” thick, non-combustible facing. This non-combustible facing can be
installed up to the Facing Bead which surrounds the opening into which the glass panel is set. Figure 34 shows a close-up view
of the Facing Bead over which no material of any kind may be applied.
•
The wall above the Fireplace opening is constantly exposed to elevated temperatures. This must be considered when
choosing any fasteners, paint, mastic, sealant, caulk, etc. for use in this area as materials may change color or emit an odor
when heated. Petroleum-based tile adhesives should be avoided and thin-set mortar used instead.

WARNING
Before doing any maintenance work turn off both the gas supply and electric supply then allow the entire Fireplace to cool
completely.
Do NOT clean the glass when it is hot!
To keep your Halcyon Gas Fireplace in peak condition, routine inspection and maintenance should be performed by a qualified
service person. We recommend that this be done prior to the beginning of your heating season.
ANNUAL INSPECTION and CLEANING
1. Remove the glass panel and clean the pilot burner and main burner of any soot, dust or any other build-up. Clean the Flame
Sensor of any corrosion or build-up. Figure 36 shows proper pilot burner operation and Figure 35 shows proper main burner
operation.
2. Inspect the Crushed Glass Burner Media for soot build-up. If excessive soot is present, have a qualified service person inspect
the unit for proper combustion. Carefully clean the Crushed Glass Burner Media with a brush.
3. Check that the vent pipe and termination cap are free from obstructions such as nests, leaves or debris. Ensure that the
venting is tight and sealed.
4. Confirm that the frame, glass and gasket are free from damage including scratches, cracks and misalignment. Check the
latches for proper alignment and engagement. If it is necessary to replace the glass assembly, use only the H50-SA-GP-01
Glass Panel Assembly from European Home.
5. Ensure that the Fireplace is ready for operation, light the Fireplace and check both the pilot burner and main burner for
proper flame size and operation.

MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC CLEANING
NOTE: Both sides of the Halcyon glass panel must be cleaned after the first fire. As part of the ‘burn-off’ process, a white film may
form on the inside of the glass during the first few fires. Do not allow the film to accumulate as it can become very difficult to
remove. Allow the glass to cool then clean both sides of the glass panel.
1. The glass may be cleaned as necessary with a fireplace glass cleaner. We recommend Stove Bright® Gas Appliance Glass
Cleaner by Forrest Paint Co. Follow the instructions for use and do not clean the glass when it is hot! If the glass becomes
coated with deposits which cannot be removed it must be replaced. When replacing the glass panel assembly use only
European Home part number H50-SA-GP-01; substitute parts are not permitted.
2. Exterior metal trim may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass or any other part of
the Fireplace.
3. Interior media components may be cleaned with a clean, soft-bristled brush. Do not use any cleaning products, including water,
on the media.
4. When necessary the panels can be removed and cleaned as follows:
a. The stone-like panels should be brushed with a clean, soft-bristled brush. Do not use any cleaning products, including
water, on these panels.
b. The black enamel panels should be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive, household cleaner. We recommend Windex® by SC
Johnson & Son, Inc.
c. The stainless steel panels should be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner. We recommend Stove Bright® Brass and Metal
Polish by Forrest Paint Co.
5. For best results, install the panels while wearing the gloves provided with your Halcyon Gas Fireplace. Do not allow any
liquids to spill inside the Fireplace.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Any repair and troubleshooting of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace must be done by a qualified technician only.
Since the LED on the control module cannot been seen after the Fireplace has been installed, the following assumes that the Halcyon
Burner Assembly has been safely connected to a test bench and that all appropriate safety precautions are being observed.
For proper operation, the control module must be electrically connected to the gas valve and all the ignition wiring connectors
plugged in.
The LED light on the control module provides a self-diagnosis indication. If the red LED is off continuously, the fault is likely to be
internal to the module. To make sure, interrupt the line or 24 volt power for 10 seconds, check program key installation and then
restore. If the internal fault is indicated again, and flame sensor is not shorted to ground, replace the control module. A flashing
light indicates the problem is most likely in the external components or wiring (see Table 11, below). Proceed as follows:
Visual checks
1. After the purge delay (if applicable) the pilot valve opens and the ignition spark starts
2. The pilot burner flame will light
3. The ignition spark stops and the main valve opens
4. The main burner flame will ignite

OPERATIONAL NOTES:
The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from
the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an
appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the
0
0
“swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2 F (1 C) between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which
determines when the fireplace will be activated. This function is pre-set at the factory.
The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button
on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OF will appear on the LCD screen to show while the 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.
REMOTE RECEIVER
IMPORTANT
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.
The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and
maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the remote
receiver.
The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. It emits one
beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling on and off automatically in THERMO mode. The remote
receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF
•
•
•
•
With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will
remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if
the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), 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 of time. If the remote receiver is
mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position also
functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off and rendering the
remote receiver inoperative.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
The remote receiver can be mounted on or near the fireplace hearth. PROTECTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Like
any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130º F inside the receiver case.
Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
HEARTH MOUNT
The remote receiver can be placed on the fireplace hearth or under the fireplace, behind the
control access panel. Position where the ambient temperature inside the receiver case
does not exceed 130º F.
NOTE: Black Button is used on Hearth Mount Applications.

VERY IMPORTANT. Like any piece of electronic equipment, the remote receiver should be kept away from temperatures exceeding 130 F
inside the receiver case. Battery life is also significantly shortened if batteries are exposed to high temperatures.
Make sure the remote receiver switch is in the OFF position. It is recommended that 18 gauge solid or stranded wires (included) be used to
make connections between the terminal wiring block on the millivolt gas valve or electronic module and the wire terminals on the remote
receiver. For the best results, use 18 gauge stranded wire, with no splices and measuring no longer than 20 ft.

WALL MOUNTING
Install 4 AA-size 1.5 ALKALINE batteries in the remote receiver. For best performance, remote receiver batteries should be factory fresh when
installed. Very little battery power is required to operate the remote receiver, but the electronics are tuned to operate best when battery output
is greater than 5.3 volts. Four new AA batteries should provide an output voltage of 6.0 to 6.2 volts. Be sure batteries are installed with the
(+) and (-) ends facing the correct direction.
Position the cover plate so the word ON is facing up; then, install
the remote receiver into the plastic switch box using the two long
screws provided. Push the White Button over the receiver slide
switch only after making sure the remote receiver has LEARNED

NOTE: The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-position slide button on the remote receiver is in the
REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, see MATCHING
SECURITY CODES, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician or a gas technician who is familiar with the gas appliance and gas valves that will be operated by this remote should
install the remote control system. Incorrect wiring connections WILL cause damage to the gas valve or electronic module operating the gas
appliance and may also damage the remote receiver.
WIRING MILLIVOLT VALVES
The remote receiver is connected to the millivolt valve using the TH (thermostat) terminals on the terminal block on the millivolt gas valve.
Connect 18 gauge solid or stranded wires from the remote receiver to the gas valve.
Operation of the remote receiver is similar to that of a thermostat in that both turn the gas valve on and off
based on input signals. A thermostat’s input signals are different temperatures. The remote receiver’s input
signals come from the transmitter.
Connect each of the two wires leading from the TH terminals on the millivolt gas valve to either of the two
wire terminals on the remote receiver. Normally it does not matter which wires go to which terminal.
WIRING ELECTRONIC SPARK IGNITIONS
The remote control receiver can be connected, in series, to a 24VAC transformer to the TR (transformer)
terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE. Connect the hot wire from the 24VAC transformer to either of the
wire terminals on the remote receiver. Connect another wire (not included) between the other receiver wire
terminal and the TH (thermostat) terminal on the ELECTRONIC MODULE.

CP (CHILDPROOF) FEATURE
This SKYTECH remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to “LOCK-OUT” operation of the appliance,
from the TRANSMITTER.
SETTING “LOCK-OUT” –(CP)
•
•
•
To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds. The letters CP
will appear in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.
To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds and the letters CP
will disappear from the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its normal operating condition.
To verify that transmitter is in the CP lock-out mode press any key and the LCD screen will show “CP”
NOTE: If the appliance is already operating in the ON or THERMO MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the operating MODE.
Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER. If in the auto modes, the THERMO operation will
continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the TRANSMITTER’S operating signals; the transmitter’s MODE must
be set to OFF.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the
following manner, but only in the THERMO MODES:
The transmitter reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature and
then sends a signal to the receiver.
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.

THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is temperature0
activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed 130 F degrees
inside the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.

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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the 1001 TH remote
system. Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of
the remote in the following manner:
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly.
Check battery in TRANSMITTER to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.
Be sure RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER are within 20'-25' operating range.
Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above 115° F.
If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.
•
NOTE: A receiver located in an area, where the ambient temperature inside the case exceeds 130° F, will cause the THERMO-SAFETY
feature to cut in, requiring you to reposition the receiver to stop the warning beeps, and to "reset" the receiver's operation.
Due to handling and shipping of the unit, handling or dropping of the transmitter by the customer, and/or heat conditions at the receiver,
some receivers may need an occasional frequency adjustment. This adjustment is made to improve the communication and operating
distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Follow the steps below for making the adjustment.
FREQUENCY (DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT
1.
2.
To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjustment (ADJ) screw counterclockwise about 5° or maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the distance problem.
If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original position and then turn
adjustment screw clockwise.
This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment screw, in either direction, you
will go past the proper setting (tuning).
