Transmitter Coding

868 Range

The transmitters (2 & 4 channel/button) can be of two types: master and slave. We only sell master
transmitters, if you need a slave you convert it from a master.

How to recognise a master/slave transmitter

- Master: If you press any key of a master transmitter, the LED fl ashes before becoming steady

- Slave: If you press any key of a slave transmitter, the LED goes on immediately with steady
light

Differences between master and slave transmitter

- Master: Only a master transmitter can transfer its “system code” to decoding card/RP
receivers and to other Transmitters (master or slave).

-Slave: Unable to transfer its “system code and, therefore cannot be either duplicated,
or used for coding systems. Can learn the “system code” from a master transmitter

Transmitter Coding

1. Take a WORKING transmitter and push buttons P1 and P2 simultaneously (see fi g 1). The LED
will start to fl ash.

2. Let go of both buttons, the LED should remain fl ashing for 10 seconds and then press and hold
the button that works the gates already, the LED should now be steadily lit

3. Keeping the button held down, pick up the new transmitter and touch the two together LED to
LED (see fi g 2)

4. STILL keeping the working transmitter button held down, also press and hold the same button
down on the NEW transmitter as well

5. Now you’re holding down the same button on each transmitter, the LED on the NEW
transmitter should fl ash twice and go out

6. Let go of the button on the NEW transmitter

7. Now let go of the button on the WORKING transmitter

8. Point the NEW transmitter at the gates and press and hold down the button you have just coded
for approximately 2 seconds, nothing will happen.

9. Let go and then press and hold it again. Your transmitter should log on to the decoder ( which is
what the transmitters talk to, in order to operate the gate/door) and start to work

10. Repeat steps 1 to 9 for any other new transmitters you have
