3.1. Learning the First Master
1.
To learn the first transmitter button into the receiver, the receiver ‘Tx Memory’ must
be blank. As an extension of this requirement, the channel compartment related to
the function being learnt must be blank. Although generally applicable, this extension
only really has meaning when discussing multichannel receivers.
2. In the case of multichannel receivers, start by placing links on the required channel
jumpers to select the functionality of interest. This informs the receiver that a channel
other than channel 1 will be mastered.
3. Press and hold a new transmitter button. This button is said to master the channel
that has been selected for learning.
4.
While the button is held down, the receiver’s Status LED will flash quickly to indicate
that the system is receiving a new Nova button that is not stored in any channel
compartment in memory.
5. After approximately 5 seconds the receiver will learn the transmitter button into
memory. The receiver will acknowledge the learning operation; in particular, the LED
on the receiver will begin to flash slowly, the buzzer will emit a short double beep,
and the channel functionality will activate.
6. The button can be released once the learning operation is acknowledged.
7. If the button is not released following the learning operation acknowledgement, the
receiver will begin to enter learn mode for the particular channel of interest.
8.
To effect this mode, continue to hold the button down, and count the slow flashes
of the Status LED on the receiver. After 10 flashes, or equivalently, 10 seconds, the
receiver will enter learn mode. The transition into this mode is indicated by a long
beep from the receiver. In other words, it is possible to learn the first master and
enter learn mode with one press (even if it is for an extended period of time – 15s+)
of the transmitter. For further information on learn mode, refer to the next section
dealing with learning additional remotes.
