GENERAL INFORMATION

The Sentrol Model 4003 Three Button Wireless Key Fob
Transmitter is designed to be used with Sentrol’s 4000
Wireless System having a receiver with Revision J or later
software. It is designed as a portable, unsupervised
transmitter. It is intended to function in applications where
the user will be within the
of the overall system.

The 4003 Key Fob Transmitter uses an encrypted “anti­cloning” code. This “anti-cloning” code will prevent a person
from remotely capturing transmissions and then later using
them to control or tamper with the system.

The Model 4003 is programmed into an RF Gateway
Receiver as an RF User Device, not as an RF Point.
Therefore, it does not take up a zone on the panel. This
device acts like a user passcode from a keypad. Thus, it
can be restricted like other user passcodes with an “Author­ity Level” and “Areas of Operation” as described in the
Control Programming Instructions.

The 4003 Key Fob Transmitter has three buttons labeled
“A”, “C” and “OFF”. The “OFF” button always performs the
disarm function. The “A” and “C” buttons can be pro­grammed to function as Arming, Panic, Aux/Medical and
other ancillary functions. This programming is done by
selecting a “Key Function Option” for the device when
programming it into an RF Gateway Receiver.

INSTALLATION

Read this section completely before installing!

These instructions will provide information on installation
requirements and will address some installation situations
to be avoided for best performance.

Battery Installation

The Model 4003 is provided with a 3-volt CR2032 Lithium
battery. To install the battery, remove the battery door on
the back of the unit by rotating the door counter-clockwise.
Place the battery into the unit with the (+) positive marking
of the battery facing up in the battery compartment.
Replace the battery door and rotate clock-wise to close and
secure the battery.

With the battery installed, press the “OFF” button two
times with a pause between each button press. The LED
above the button should blink with each press. The 4003
Key Fob Transmitter is now ready to be programmed into
the system.

PROGRAMMING

The 4003 Key Fob Transmitter is pre-programmed with a
6-digit ID Address. This ID Address is located on the back
label and on a label on the box (example of code label

123456 dddd r). This 6-digit ID Address (underlined) will

5
be needed to program this device into the RF Gateway
Receiver and into the Control.

To program the 4003 Key Fob Transmitter into an RF
Gateway Receiver, select a “Device Number” on the RF
Gateway and program in a keypad number, a “Key Function
Option Number” and the device’s 6-digit ID Address. To
program into the Control, use the last four digits of the ID
Address as a user passcode.

You will need to consult the Programming Instructions of
the Control for specific instructions on programming.

TESTING

Since the 4003 Key Fob Transmitter is a portable device,
there may be “blind” or “non operational” locations found
during your tests. Normally these can be overcome if the
Model 4003 is moved a short distance up, down, left or
right. It should not matter how the device is held in your
hand. It is an omni-directional RF transmitter and should
therefore transmit equally in all directions. This testing
should be performed for all keys from multiple locations to
ensure proper operation and that Control response exists.

For example, if the 4003 Key Fob Transmitter is to be used
as an arming/disarming device from bedside, it should be
tested from that location. If it is to be used from the car to
perform arming/disarming (open/close garage door), then it
should be tested from within the car in the driveway and
garage. If it is to be used with the PANIC function while the
user is in the basement, garden or garage, then it should be
tested for operation from those areas.

Once testing is complete, clearly identify to the user any
range or transmission limits found during testing. Review
with the user the functions of the various keys.

A Low Battery message will also be displayed at the Control
keypad until the battery is replaced.

Show the user the ID Address label on the back of the unit.
Explain that this ID Address label contains their user
passcode (last four digits of ID Address) which they can
also use manually, if needed, at the keypad. For this
reason, they may want to remove the ID Address label and
store it in a secure location.
