of the unit. Also, 12” (305mm) of noncombustible

board is to be nailed to the front face of the U-chan-

nel and the top framing member above the standoff.

4. Attach the ﬁreplace nailing ﬂanges to the frame as

shown in Figure 4.

Combustible material can then be brought to the

outside edges of the noncombustible board installed

earlier. Any noncombustible decorative face ﬁnish

could be brought to the sides and top of the unit and

can cover the framing and sheet rock. If a decora-

tive facing is not desired, then the noncombustible

boards must be double thickness and brought ﬂush

with the face of the unit.

Fig. 6 Typical gas supply installation.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild

soap and water solution applied with a

brush no larger than 1” (25mm). Never ap-

ply soap and water solution with a spray

bottle. Do not use an open ﬂame for leak

testing.

For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,

installations must be in accordance with the

current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes

having jurisdiction.

In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local

authorities having jurisdiction for installations at

elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).

The ﬁreplace valve must not be subjected

to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi.

Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas

appliance control from the gas line when

pressure testing.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjust-

ment, alteration, service or maintenance

can cause injury or property damage. Refer

to this manual for correct installation and

operational procedures. For assistance or

additional information consult a qualiﬁed

installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

The gas control is equipped with an inlet and manifold

pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro-

vide an 1/8” test point up stream of the control.

When using copper, use only approved ﬁttings. Always

provide a union when using black iron pipe so the gas

line can be easily disconnected for burner servicing. A

union may not be behind a wall. (Fig. 8) See the gas

speciﬁcations for pressure details and ratings.

Gas Line Installation

When purging gas line the front glass must

be removed.

Electrical Junction Box

A gas shut off valve must be installed on

the gas pipe line going into the appliance

within easy access.

The ﬁreplace, when installed, must be elec-

trically connected and grounded in accord-

ance with local codes or, in the absence

of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1

Canadian Electrical Code or the national

electrical code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 in the

USA.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the top of

the valve box assembly.

The gas line connection can be made with properly

tinned 1/2” copper tubing or 1/2” gas tight. Some

municipalities have additional local codes, it is always

best to consult your local authority and the CSA-B149.1

installation codes.

It is strongly suggested that the wiring of

the Electrical Junction Box be carried out

by a licensed electrician. The box should

be near the valve box assembly to plug the

cord into.

For USA installations consult the current National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Ensure the power to the supply line has

been disconnected before commencing

this procedure.

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 H/L key and the MODE key 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 H/L key and the MODE key 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 the 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 THERMOSTATIC 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 THERMOSTATIC 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.

Operational Notes:

The Thermostatic 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 “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.

NOTE: The fireplace receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 2-position slide button on the module is

in the REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, refer to MATCHING

SECURITY CODES, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver.

Thermostatic Updating Feature

This remote control has a THERMOSTATIC UPDATING feature built into its software. The THERMOSTATIC UPDAT-

ING feature operates in the following manner, while in the THERMOSTATIC mode.

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.

General Venting

Your ﬁreplace is approved to be vented either through

the side wall, or vertical through the roof.

There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, gar-

den sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24”

(610mm) from the front of the termination hood.

• Only CFM Corporation venting components spe-

ciﬁcally approved and labelled for this ﬁreplace

may be used.

Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow

or ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termi-

nation area after snow falls, and clear to prevent ac-

cidental blockage of venting system. When using snow

blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent

termination area.

• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or

siding.

• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane

without an inclining or declining slope.

Location of Vent Termination

It is imperative the vent termination be located observ-

ing the minimum clearances as shown on following

General Information Assembling Vent Pipes

elbows, apply 1/4” bead of high temperature, 550°F or

higher, sealant (milpack or stove cement) to the joint of

the inner pipe (ﬂue pipe) and the straight section as it is

impossible to be taped. The outer pipe must be taped

with 315°F high temperature metal adhesive tape for

proper sealing.

SK8 Venting Pipes

Canadian Installations:

The venting system must be installed in accordance

with the current CSA-B149 .1 installation code.

USA Installations:

Start by attaching the ﬁrst vent pipe section to the collar

on top of the ﬁreplace. In order to attach the ﬁrst pipe

section, it may be necessary to remove the top shield.

Remove four (4) screws securing top shield, install ﬁrst

pipe section and replace top shield.

The venting system must conform with local codes and/

or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54.

Only venting components manufactured by CFM Cor-

poration can be used in Direct Vent systems.

Install the pipe as shown in Figure 12. When you get a

good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap together.

Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is extremely

difﬁcult to get them apart. Make sure the pipe is ﬁrmly

snapped and locked together as each pipe section is

mounted.

NOTE: The joints of the inner pipe (ﬂue pipe) must be

taped with 550°F or higher temperature metal adhesive

tape that meets the requirements of F.A.R. 25.853(a).

High temperature sealant milpack or stove cement

of 550°F or higher could be used instead. The joints

of The outer pipe (fresh air pipe) must be taped with

315°F or higher temperature metal adhesive tape or the

use of high temperature milpack or stove cement would

be applicable. When using the unitized 30°, 45° or 90°

Vertical Termination

Fig. 13 Horizontal vent termination window.

A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 12’

(3.66 m) and no more than 40’ (12 m) above the appli-

ance ﬂue collar. A 2’ (610 mm) vertical section must be

installed before any offset. A maximum of 20’ (6.1 m)

horizontal and three (3) 90° elbows may be installed

with a minimum of 12’ (3.66 m) vertical section above

the ﬂue collar of the unit. Refer to Page 18, Figure 14

for more information.

Sidewall Applications

Since it is very important that the vent-

ing system maintain its balance between

the combustion air intake and the ﬂue

gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent

conﬁgurations apply and must be strictly

adhered to.

A vertically terminated vent system must also conform

to the following criteria:

The vent graph showing the relationship between verti-

cal and horizontal side wall venting will help to deter-

mine the various dimensions allowable.

• No more than three (3) 90° elbows may be used.

• Two (2) 45° elbows may be substituted for one (1)

90° elbow. No more than six (6) elbows may be

used.

Minimum clearance between vent pipes

and combustible materials is 3¹⁄₂” (89 mm)

on top, 2¹⁄₂” (64 mm) on both sides and 1¹⁄₂”

(38 mm) on the bottom.

When the vent termination exits through foundations

less than 20” (508mm) below siding outcrop, the vent

pipe must be ﬂush with the siding.

It is always best to locate the ﬁreplace in such a way

that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal

vent length of vent pipe from the ﬂue collar of the ﬁre-

place to the face of the outer wall.

Operating Instructions

Glass Information

Glass Cleaning

Only glass approved by CFM Corporation

should be used on this ﬁreplace.

It is necessary to periodically clean the glass. During

start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the

inside of the glass. This condensation causes lint,

dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass

surface.

• The use of any non-approved replacement glass will

void all product warranties.

Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight ﬁlm on

the glass. It is therefore recommended the glass be

cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia based

household cleaner and warm water (gas ﬁreplace glass

cleaner is recommended) within the ﬁrst few weeks of

operation.

• Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.

• Do not operate appliance with glass front

removed, cracked or broken.

• A replacement glass frame assembly (complete

with gasket) is available through your CFM

Corporation dealer and should only be installed

by a licensed qualiﬁed service person.

After the initial cleaning process the glass should be

cleaned two or three times during each operating

season depending on the environment in the house.

�

��

Clean the glass after the ﬁrst two weeks of

operation.

Troubleshooting

American Flame Gas Control System

If erratic system behavior is observed that cannot be resolved by the methods outlined below, ensure that there is

not a transmitter with batteries installed that may be interfering. If a transmitter is packed with batteries installed, its

buttons may be depressed sending a constant signal which can interfere with the transmission of desired signals. A

transmitter with new batteries can have a range of over 100’ (30.4 m).

Module will not learn trans-

mitter

• Ensure the REMOTE/OFF switch on the side of the module is set to REMOTE.

• Make sure the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver are installed in the

proper direction and are not drained. Individual battery voltage should be no less

than 1.4V for AA and AAA batteries, 2.8V for button cells, and 9,0V for 12V batter-

ies.

• Verify the transmitter indicates a signal is being sent. With thermostat transmitters,

the LCD display should indicate ON or OFF depending on which button is being

pressed. The LED indicator should illuminate on wall transmitters and on/off hand-

held transmitters. Buttons should be pressed and held for 1 to 2 seconds to ensure

a complete signal is sent.

• Make sure the transmitter is within the 20’ (6 m) operational range of the receiver.

• Ensure the 4-pin lead-set is securely connected from the battery pack to the control

module’s AUX connection. If the A/C power adapter is used, make sure the leads

from the adapter are securely connected to the POWER terminals on the control

module.

• Press and hold the LEARN button on the module for approximately 10 seconds to

clear the memory (you should hear a series of beeps from the receiver). Then press

and release the learn button (you should hear a single beep from the receiver), im-

mediately press either the ON or OFF button on the transmitter (you should hear a

series of beeps indicating the transmitter code has been learned).

• Verify the gas supply is turned on.

Pilot will not light/stay lit

• Verify the receiver is receiving the signal from the transmitter by listening for a beep

from the receiver when ON is pressed on the transmitter. If you do not hear a beep,

ensure the module has learned the transmitter (see above).

• Ensure the orange lead from the pilot assembly igniter is securely connected to the

terminal labeled “I” and the white lead from the ﬂame rectiﬁcation sensor is securely

connected to the terminal labeled “S” on the control module.

• Make sure the orange and white leads from the module are securely connected to

the terminals labeled “PILOT” on the valve body.

• Ensure the black GROUND wire is securely connected to an appropriate metal por-

tion of the valve or pilot assembly. A proper ground is essential to spark igniter

operation.

• Make certain the pilot ﬂame is in contact with the ﬂame rectiﬁcation sensor on the

pilot assembly. This valve is equipped with a pilot ﬂame adjustment screw. If the

pilot ﬂame is too small it will not contact the ﬂame rectiﬁcation sensor and will not

Troubleshooting American Flame Gas Control System (continued)

Main ﬂame will not light

• Verify the gas supply is turned on.

• Ensure the pilot ﬂame will ignite. If not, see pilot ﬂame troubleshooting above.

• Make sure the green and white leads from the module are securely connected to

the terminals labeled “MAIN: on the valve body.

• Make certain the pilot ﬂame is in contact with the ﬂame rectiﬁcation sensor on the

pilot assembly. This valve is equipped with a pilot ﬂame adjustment screw. If the

pilot ﬂame is too small it will not contact the ﬂame rectiﬁcation sensor and will not

complete the safety circuit.

• Ensure the pilot ﬂame is properly located to ignite the main ﬂame.

Flame height adjustment will • Ensure the black and red leads from the battery pack or the AF4000 110H/L module

not work/works backwards

are securely connected to the red and black leads from the motor drive or H/L latch-

ing solenoid located on the valve body (red to red and black to black).

• Make sure the Pulse/Continuous button on the Power Module is set to Continuous

mode. If ﬂame does not continuously change (increase or decrease in size) while

holding down the ON H/L button, the power module mode must be changed. Hold

down the Pulse/Continuous button on the Power Module for 10 to 15 seconds to

change mode from pulse to continuous. Re-try ﬂame adjustment.

• Check functionality with all transmitters to determine if there is an issue with the

main control system or an individual transmitter. If the issue is with an individual

transmitter, make sure the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver are in-

stalled in the proper direction and are not drained. Individual battery voltage should

be no less than 1.4V for AA and AAA batteries, 2.8V for button cells, and 9.0V for

12V batteries.

Room temperature dis-

played on handheld trans-

mitter is not correct.

(When using thermostatic

transmitters only)

• Ensure the transmitter was not recently stored in a different environment (air-condi-

tioned, heated) from that in which the transmitter is being tested. It may take up to 3

hours for the temperature inside a packaged transmitter, and several minutes for an

unpackaged transmitter, to equalize with the room temperature.

Unit will not respond in

THERMO mode.

(When using thermostatic

transmitters only)

• Ensure the thermostatic transmitter is within the 20’ operational range.

• Make sure an ON or OFF command was not last sent from another transmitter.

These commands will override the thermal commands from the handheld transmit-

ter. To return the system to THERMO mode, press either ON or OFF on the ther-

mostatic transmitter, then press the MODE button to put the system in THERMO

mode. Press and hold the SET button to change the set temperature.

• Verify the set temperature on the thermostatic remote is at least 2 degrees above

or below the room temperature. The system will not react to temperatures within 2

degrees of the set temperature.
