Description: Each unit features four channels, enabling the programming and operation of up to four separate devices with a single remote, provided these devices operate on the same frequency. The unit can automatically learn from existing garage door remotes or built-in car remote units, allowing programming of each remote to open up to four distinct garage doors. This is particularly useful for security gates in neighborhoods, as the unit can be configured to open any gate in addition to up to three garage doors, consolidating the need for multiple remotes into one compact device. However, it is important to note that this unit cannot replace "Code-Rotating," "Mega-Code," or other proprietary transmitters such as Genie Intellicode or Lift Master Security +. The remote is equipped with an automatic sensor that learns the frequency from any other remote transmitter operating between 255 and 500 megahertz, which encompasses approximately 90% of commonly used remote controls today. Unlike standard remotes that come with garage openers or vehicles, this unit is programmable, eliminating the need to purchase expensive spare remotes. The remote can be programmed for different purposes across multiple vehicles, allowing for various configurations for different users. Each of the four buttons can be reprogrammed at any time by learning from existing remotes. The unit can duplicate most fixed code remote controls that transmit the same frequency or code each time a button is pressed. It is important to note that remotes utilizing Code Hopping or Anti-Code Grabbing Technology cannot be duplicated, as they transmit different codes with each button press. The programming process involves determining the frequency of the original remote and arranging jumpers accordingly. The learning reception has a limited range, and physical proximity of the chips in both remotes is crucial for successful programming. After programming, the unit must be activated by removing a specific jumper, enabling normal operation.
The remote control unit is designed to streamline the operation of multiple devices by consolidating their functions into a single, compact remote. Each unit supports four channels that can be independently programmed to control various devices, such as garage doors or security gates, as long as they operate on the same frequency. This flexibility is beneficial in situations where multiple remotes would otherwise be required, significantly enhancing user convenience.
To begin the programming process, the frequency of the original remote must be determined, which is typically indicated on the back of the unit in megahertz (MHz). The user must then configure the jumpers on the new remote to match this frequency. The remote features three jumper locations, and adjustments can be made using needle-nose pliers or tweezers. Proper alignment of the original remote and the new remote is critical; the chips should be positioned as closely as possible to facilitate successful learning of the frequency.
During programming, the user must hold down the button on the original remote while simultaneously pressing the corresponding button on the new remote. The green light on the new remote serves as an indicator of successful programming, pulsing to confirm the connection. If the green light does not illuminate, troubleshooting steps should be undertaken, such as checking battery orientation or adjusting the Frequency Tuning Cap (FTC) to optimize performance.
The FTC is a sensitive component that allows fine-tuning of the frequency, with adjustments impacting the operational range of the remote. Each half revolution of the FTC can change the frequency by approximately ±60 MHz, allowing for precise calibration to ensure compatibility with the target device. Once all programming is complete, the jumper near the battery must be removed to activate the unit for normal operation.
It is crucial to maintain the jumpers safely, as they may be required for future programming needs. After confirming that the remote operates correctly with all programmed devices, the cover should be replaced and secured without over-tightening. This comprehensive approach ensures that users can effectively manage multiple devices with a single programmable remote, enhancing both functionality and convenience in everyday applications.Each unit has 4-channels. This allows you to program and operate up to four separate devices with this one remote. Provided the devices all operate on the same frequency. Garage Doors: Automatically learns from your existing garage door remotes or your built-in car remote unit. You can program each remote to open up to four separate garage doors. Security Gates: These are great if you have a neighborhood gate. This unit can be set to open any gate, plus up to three garage doors. Instead of 2, 3 or 4 remotes, you only need one. and it`s half the size of most remote control units! NOTE : This unit cannot be used to replace "Code-Rotating, " "Mega-Code, " or other proprietary transmitters like the Genie Intellicode or Lift Master Security + The remote is built with an automatic sensor that can learn the frequency from any other remote transmitter that operates between 255 and 500 megahertz. This is about 90% of all remote controls commonly used today. Unlike most remote units that come with; garage openers, cars (for opening doors and trunks, car alarms, gates and other remote devices, this unit is programmable.
This means you won`t have to go out and buy a new remote at outrageous prices if you need a spare, or you lose one. The car dealers, auto alarm companies, garage door openers manufacturers hate these things and will not sell you one like this.
They want to sell you a their "proprietary spare remotes". You can put one in every car and program each one to work for the the same or different purposes. For example; my unit opens the gate, car doors and each garage door. My wife`s opens the gate, each garage door and her car doors. The kids set theirs to open the gate, operate their car alarm, car doors, and the remote outdoor lights for when they come home late and have to park in the street. No. You can always reprogram the unit to work with a new frequency of the new device, car, or garage opener.
Each of the four buttons can re-learn any time. You simply press the button on your present remote unit that you want to learn from. With the touch of a button the new remote will automatically lock on the the proper frequency of the other remote unit and program it onto any of the four buttons to operate that exact frequency. In some cases additional tuning may be required to optimize the performance, or to allow the remote to receive the signal from the primary unit.
This programmable remote control ( remote) can duplicate a majority of fixed code remote controls. A fixed code remote control is one that transmits the same frequency, or code each time the button is pressed. This unit can duplicate the frequency as long as the original remote control operates between the frequencies of 251-538 Mhz and the remote does not utilize Code Hopping or Anti-Code Grabbing Technology, which changes frequency each time the button is pressed.
It is not possible to copy any remote that utilizes Code Hopping or Anti-Code Grabbing Technology. This is because these types of remotes send a different code each time the remote is pressed. The remote has four buttons that can each be used for multiple functions. The same code can be copied onto multiple buttons if desired. Alternatively, you can program the remote with a different code for some or each button to operate multiple devices from one remote. If your original remote has a function controlled by pressing multiple buttons together, you must duplicate that code to a single button on your remote.
You can also copy multiple remotes onto the one remote, provided they all operate on the same frequency 1. Determine the frequency of your original remote control unit. By FCC regulation, this should be printed on the back of the unit and is indicated in MHz (megahertz).
You may also refer to the following chart to see if your unit is listed If you cannot find the frequency of your unit, you may have to contact the manufacturer to determine the frequency that the remote control unit operates at. You can also try the trial and error method, but that can be very time consuming since the programming usually requires several tries to be successful.
The remote cannot operate devices with multiple frequencies. Each device must operate on the same frequency in order for a single remote to be programmed to operate up to four devices. 2. Once you determine the frequency of your remote control unit, you must arrange the jumpers on the remote per the table below in order to match the frequency of your original remote control in order to program the remote.
Check the position of each of the three jumper locations in the remote after removing the cover of the remote. The cover can easily be removed by pulling the two halves of the plastic case apart. Use the tool provided to pry in between parting lines to help separate the two halves of the plastic case.
There are 3 jumper locations and two plastic jumpers in each remote. The jumpers can be removed or installed onto the jumper pins with a pair of needle nose pliers or tweezers. : The learning reception on the remote has limited range. It is best (and may be essential) to arrange the remote so that the chip side of the remote is as close as possible to the chip in the original remote unit.
Ensure that the units are arranged so that the chip in the original remote unit is as close to the chip on the remote as possible. You can determine this by trial and error rotating the original unit four ways as you try to program it, or open the original unit and identify the side closest to the large chip inside the original remote unit.
For most units, back to back oriented in the same direction is best. 4. Once you have the units arranged so the chips are as close to one another as possible, press & hold down the button on the original remote that you wish to program onto button 1 of the remote, and then immediately press & hold down the button on the remote that you want to program. The green remote light should light up green briefly and then go dark briefly. A. Ensure that the chip side of the remote is arranged so that it is as close to the original remote as possible.
Ensure that the original remote is arranged so that the chip in the original remote is as close as possible to the remote chip Rotate one or both units to get the chips physically as close as possible. B. If the green light on the remote will not light at all, check to ensure the battery is in and that the battery is not backwards (+ should be towards the buttons on the remote).
D. If all else fails, use the tool provided to make minor adjustments to the Frequency Tuning Cap. (FTC). While holding down the button on the remote and the button on the original remote, turn the screw in the FTC very slowly clockwise and then counterclockwise until the green light on the remote pulses 3 times. Once you see the light pulse 3 times, make a note of which button you have programmed for that remote.
Remember not to reprogram that button, or you may lose the code and have to reprogram it again. The FTC will change the frequency at a rate of +/-60 mhz for each 1/2 revolution, so it is very sensitive. Usually the frequency only is off about 10 mhz, so you may only need to move the FTC 1/8 turn one direction or the other to move 10 mhz.
For frequency range 295-355, if you turn the FTC 180 degrees (1/2 turn in either direction) it will move +/-60 mhz, so if it was at 295 mhz and you turn it 180 degrees it will go to 355 mhz. Note: After all of the buttons have been programmed, the unit will not yet transmit a signal, and it will not operate properly until step 6 is completed.
6. Remove Jumper 1 near the battery. This activates the unit and it is now in normal working mode. The remote now will not be reprogrammed and the remote will now transmit and operate. CAUTION: DO NOT LOSE THE JUMPERS. Place the unused jumpers over just one pin so you will not lose the jumpers. Alternatively, you can leave the jumpers loose inside the remote. You may need the jumpers again someday, if you have to reprogram the remote. As long as the jumper is only installed over a single pin at the jumper position, it will not activate that jumper position and can be stored there safely for future use, if required. 7. After you verify that the remote operates properly for each device you have programmed it for, replace the cover and screw closed using the tool and screw provided.
Do not over tighten. The procedure is now completed. FCC Caution: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. This operation is subject to the following two conditions. (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must not accept an interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: If you get the remote light to pulse 3 times, but the remote will still not operate your device, or if the range of the remote in not sufficient, you may have to complete the following additional adjustments (First verify that jumper 1 has been removed.
The remote will not transmit if jumper one is across both pins) : 3. Place the remotes together with the chips as close as possible. Press and hold down a matching button on each remote using two fingers from one hand (with a little practice you can do this yourself, or you may need a helper). Now part your fingers so as to slowly increase the distance between the remotes to the point where the green remote light becomes most dim, but is still visibly lit.
As you do this, you may notice that the remote reprograms itself. After it reprograms itself (as indicated by the 3 pulses), the light will stay lit solid for only a few seconds. During this brief period, Use the tool provided to turn the screw in the FTC very slowly clockwise and then counterclockwise until the green light on the remote glows brightest.
Once the FTC is adjusted to make the light as bright as possible, you have maximized the range of the remote for that device. During this process, you may notice that the remote will not reprogram, or loses it`s program. This is caused by the FTC being adjusted too much or in the wrong direction. To correct, place the units with their chips as close as possible to each other. Press and hold down the button on the remote and the original remote. Slowly turn the screw in the FTC very slowly clockwise and then counterclockwise until the green light on the remote pulses 3 times and glows brightest.
The FTC will change the frequency at a rate of +/-60 mhz for each 1/2 revolution, so it is very sensitive. Usually the frequency only is off by about 10 mhz, so you may only need to move the FTC 1/8 turn one direction or the other to move 10 mhz.
For frequency range 295-355, if you turn the FTC 180 degrees (1/2 turn in either direction) it will move +/-60 mhz, so if it was at 295 mhz and you turn it 180 degrees it will go to 355 mhz. 4. If you do not know the frequency range of your remote, try another Frequency Range by changing configuration of Jumper 2 & 3 and repeat the programming steps.
5. Once successful, operating range can be maximized by moving to the furthest distance from the remote controlled device where the remote signal will still make the remote controlled device function. Take two steps backwards and minutely adjust the FTC in either direction until the alarm arms again. Repeat this procedure until maximum range is achieved.
