LEARNING A NEW TRANSMITTER SWITCH

These decoders are capable of ‘learning’ the transmitter/Encoder signature code, and individual switch

number.

The decoder allocates a specific transmitter/encoder’s switch, against the chosen decoder output. The decoder

has a maximum memory capacity of learning up to eight unique encoder switches. These may be from a single

or many different encoders and be allocated to a single output or a combination of all the outputs on the

decoder.

To learn a new transmitter switch follow these procedures;

1. Firstly determine which switch on the encoder and which output channel on the decoder you wish to allocate

to each other.

2. In order to select the appropriate decoder output channel, the user must step through the outputs until the

desired channel is selected (these may be 1, through 4).

3. Each time the decoders programming switch is briefly pressed and released, the LED will flash a number of

times to indicate which channel is currently selected.

4. If the desired channel is overstepped or missed, simply wait for 5 seconds and the decoder will start from

channel 1 again, or step right through the outputs, and the decoder will automatically return to channel 1.

5. Note that after flashing 4 times to select channel 4, the decoder flashes 9 times. This is normal and is

detailed below in the “Erase memory” section.

6. To enter “Programming mode” the user must hold down the programming switch whilst the desired channel

(indicated by the appropriate number of flashes) is currently selected. After flashing the required number of

flashes, the LED will go out for approx. 4 seconds and then illuminate. The decoder is now in learn mode.

(Keep the programming switch depressed)

7. Depress the transmitter once, LED on the decoder will flash. (PSW is still depressed).

8. Wait for LED to stop flashing.

9. Depress the transmitter again, LED will turn off. (PSW is still depressed).

10.Release the programming switch (PSW).

11.The decoder has now learnt the encoder switch and will now operate the system.

Note: Do not teach the same switch to more than one output of the same decoder!

ERASING THE DECODER’S MEMORY

To completely erase the FM-ECAC signature code form the FM-DH0 decoder’s memory;

1.

Press the FM-DH0 decoder SW briefly. (The LED will flash once).

2.

Press the FM-DH0 decoder SW again briefly. (The LED will flash twice).

3.

Press the FM-DH0 decoder SW again briefly. (The LED will flash three times).

4.

Press the FM-DH0 decoder SW again briefly. (The LED will flash four times).

5.

Press the FM-DH0 decoder SW and hold. (The LED will flash nine times, go out for several seconds

then illuminate again.

6.

The FM-DH0 decoder switch may be released. (When the LED goes out, the FM-DH0 decoder

memory is erased)

SYNCHRONISATION (Hopping Models only)

This equipment requires the transmitter and receiver to be synchronised. If the transmitter has been pressed

more than 50 times outside the range of the receiver, the receiver will loose synchronisation with the

transmitter. To re-synchronise: Press the transmitter key for two seconds within range of the receiver,

Release the key momentarily, and press the key again.
