Questions people ask us
Will it work with my fireplace?
The FK-ESC reads the signal from a millivolt or electronic IPI valve and will not operate with a 24VAC gas valve system. The instructions include extra steps for SIT valves and Dexen IPI valves. Send us the fireplace model and we will check.
Can I use it with the fan I already have?
Yes, that is what it is built for. Your existing fan plugs into the included ACF10 cord, and the FK-ESC plugs into the original fan outlet. Skytech rates it for a 200 watt universal fan capacity.
How do I change the fan speed?
Press the FAN SPEED button and the LEDs show which of the four speeds is set. The control remembers your last setting, and holding TEST runs the fan on Hi so you can check the wiring.
Is there a kit that includes a blower?
Yes. The FK-165-ESC pairs this control with the low profile F-165-1 blower, and the FK-180-ESC pairs it with the dual fan F-180-1 blower.
