Product description and intended use

The TX3 and TX4 transmitters (fig.1) allow the user to remote control the corresponding radio receivers, or alternatively the control units for gates or motors for awnings, sun screens or rolling shutters. They are only suitable for use in MHOUSE automation systems. The TX3 is designed specifically for operating motors for awnings and rolling shutters; it features 3 buttons which can be used for the 3 types of command of a single automation system, or to control up to 3 different automation systems or receivers. The TX4 is intended specifically for gates; it features 4 buttons that can be used to enter 4 types of command for a single automation system, or to control up to 4 different automation systems or receivers. Transmission of the command is confirmed by the LED [A] shown in Fig.1; an eyelet [B] Fig.1 allows it to be hung on a key ring. The TX3 transmitter is equipped with a fitting support, which allows the unit to be wallmounted if desired. When fastening the support, if the surface is smooth and solid, the adhesive provided may be used; if not, the screw supplied for this purpose can be used (with the wall plug if necessary), see Fig.2.

Transmitter memorization modes

To enable the transmitter to command a control unit, a radio receiver or a motor for awnings and rolling shutters, a memorization procedure must be carried out. Two methods can be followed to memorize the new transmitter:

• Mode 1: in this “mode”, all the radio transmitter buttons are used and each button per- forms the command configured in the control unit or receiver used (see table 1); in “mode 1” the radio transmitter can be used to command only one automation.

Table 1: Transmitter operation in Mode 1

Tx3 Tx4 Control unit Radio receiver Motor for awnings

Button ▲ Button T1 “OPEN” command Activation of output N.1 Raise Button ■ Button T2 Button ▼ Button T3 “Open only” command Activation of output N.3 Raise

• Mode 2: in this “mode”, each transmitter button can be associated to any command avail- able on the control units or radio receiver outputs (see table 2).

Table 2: Transmitter operation in Mode 2

Command N.1 “OPEN” Activation of output N.1 Raise Command N.2 “Open partially” Activation of output N.2 Stop Command N.3 “Open only” Activation of output N.3 Lower Command N.4 “Close only” Activation of output N.4 Stop This mode, if used properly, enables the control of 2 or more different automations or receivers with one transmitter; each transmitter is, of course, a separate unit, and while some are memorized in “mode 1” others can be memorized in “mode 2” on the control unit.

Memorization of the Transmitter Warning: The memorization procedures depend on which control unit or receiver is associ-

ated, this chapter outlines the routine procedures; for more unusual procedures, see the handbook. All Mhouse instruction manuals are also available from: www.mhouse.com. Since the memorization procedures are timed (max. 10 seconds for each stage), you need to read the instructions in the tables before you proceed to carry them out.

Memorization of the Transmitter in “Mode 1” On control units and receivers for gates

1. Press Button P1 [H] in Fig.3 for at least 3s; when the P1 LED [I] shown in Fig.3 goes off,

2. Within 10s, press any button on the radio transmitter to be memorized for at least 2s. If

If you do not already have an operative transmitter (the old Tx) you will not be able to use this procedure. To memorise the new Tx, follow the procedures outlined in the product's instruction manual.

Table 4

1. Hold down button ■ on the new transmitter to be stored (New TX) until you hear a beep

(after approx. 5 seconds) then release the key

2. Slowly press button ■ three times on a transmitter that has already been stored in the

memory (Old TX)

3. Press and release button ■ on the new transmitter The 3 final beeps indicate that the new transmitter has been stored correctly in the memory. If the memory is full (30 transmitters), the automation will emit 6 beeps to signal that the transmitter cannot be stored.

Memorization of the transmitter in “Mode 2” on On control units and receivers for gates

Table 5

1. Press button P1 as many times as the number corresponding to the desired command,

according to the table 2 (e.g. 3 times for the “Open only” command).

2. Make sure that the P1 LED flashes as many times as the number corresponding to the

selected command.

3. Within 10, press any button on the radio transmitter to be memorized for at least 2s. If the memorization procedure is successful, the P1 LED will flash 3 times.

4. If there are other remote controls to be memorized for the same type of command, repeat step 3 within the next 10, otherwise the memorization stage will terminate automatically.

On control units and receivers for awnings and rolling shutters

Table 6

1. Hold down the required key on the new transmitter (New TX) until you hear a beep (after

approx. 5 seconds) then release the key

2. Within 5 seconds press and hold down a key that has already been stored on a transmitter (old TX) until hearing 2 short beeps (after approx. 5 seconds) then release the key

3. Within 3 seconds press the same key on the already stored transmitter (old TX) for a number of times equivalent to the required command: 1 = Step-by-Step; 2 = Open; 3 = Close; 4 = Stop Old TX Key 1-4

4. After approximately 3 seconds you will hear a number of beeps equivalent to the chosen command

5. Within 2 seconds press the required key on the new transmitter (new TX) again to confirm the programming.

The 3 final beeps signal that the new transmitter has been stored correctly. If the memory is full (30 transmitters), the automation will emit 6 beeps to signal that the transmitter cannot be stored.

Remote Memorization

It is possible to memorize a new transmitter without directly operating the buttons on the control unit or radio receiver, provided you have an “OLD” pre-memorized operational transmitter. The NEW transmitter to be memorized will inherit the characteristics of the OLD one, i.e. if the OLD transmitter was memorized in “mode 1”, the NEW one will also be memorized in “mode 1”. In this case, during the memorization stage you can press any key on the two transmitters. If, on the other hand, the OLD transmitter was memorized in “mode 2”, you must press the button on the OLD transmitter which corresponds to the desired command, and the button on the NEW transmitter to which you wish to associate that command.

Holding the two transmitters, position yourself near the control unit or receiver and perform the following operations:

1. Press the button on the NEW transmitter and hold it down for at least 5s, then release it.

2. Press the button on the OLD transmitter 3 times slowly.

3. Press the button on the NEW transmitter once slowly.

At this point the NEW transmitter will be recognized by the control unit or receiver and will assume the characteristics of the OLD one. If there are other transmitters to be memorized, repeat all the steps above for each new transmitter.

Testing the Transmitter

To test the operation of the transmitter, just press any button, make sure that the red LED flashes and that the automation performs the desired command. The command associated to each button depends on the memorization “mode”.

Replacing the Transmitter Batteries

When the range of the transmitter is significantly diminished and the light emitted by the LED is feeble, the battery is probably exhausted. The transmitter houses two CR2016 type lithium batteries. To replace them proceed as follows:

1. Open the bottom by pulling it (Fig.4)

2. Insert a small pointed tool in the slit (Fig.5) and push out the batteries

3. Insert the new batteries, observing the polarity (the “+” symbol towards the top).

4. Close the bottom until it clicks.

Warning: The product runs on batteries which may contain pollutants and

therefore must not be thrown away with the ordinary rubbish. . After removing the batteries (Fig.2) dispose of them properly, complying with the methods prescribed for batteries by local regulations.
