4.  Press a button on a transmitter to establish the button-to-functionality (channel) 

relationship. The transmitter that is used to establish the relationship is not learned 

into memory at this initial stage (although a button that is already learnt into memory 

may be used). It is purely used to establish the relationship between a button and the 

selected channel. The LED will turn off while a button is pressed. The LED will turn on 

again and the buzzer will sound briefly when the button is released. This confirms that 

the button has been successfully received and added to the association table.

5.  The last button that is pressed for a given channel will dictate the button-to-

functionality relationship. For example, suppose button 1 is initially pressed and 

associated with a channel, channel 3 for argument’s sake. If button 2 is pressed 

subsequently, and it is the last button to be pressed during the channel 3 association 

process, then button 2 will ultimately be the button associated with channel 3.

6.  To add another channel to the current Autolearn operation, change the channel links 

to the new channel of interest. Remember, only channels that are blank can be placed 

in Autolearn mode. If a channel that is not blank is selected via the channel jumpers, 

the LED will turn off on button press, but the receiver will not generate a beep when 

the button is released. This will signal that the channel is not blank and therefore that 

Autolearn may not be enabled for that channel.

7.  Repeat steps 4 through 6 to establish button-to-functionality relationships for all the 

(blank) channels of interest. (Refer to Appendix B on page 31 for an example of the 

Autolearn configuration procedure.)

8. 

Once the association table has been finalised, remove jumper J1. This confirms the 

mapping and enters Autolearn mode. The buzzer will beep four times to confirm the 

transition to Autolearn mode. While in Autolearn mode, the LED will remain on while 

the system is idle. When the correct transmitter button (only buttons registered in the 

association table are accepted) is pressed, the LED will turn off. When the button is 

released, the LED will turn on again. The buzzer will beep twice briefly to indicate that 

the button has been successfully learnt. All buttons are learned as master buttons. 

The receiver outputs associated with the mapped channel will also activate - they will 

only activate on the trailing edge of the learning transaction.

9.  Once learnt, the LED will stay on while a valid transmitter button is pressed and the 

buzzer will not beep on the leading or trailing edge of the transaction. The relevant 

receiver outputs will activate on the leading edge of the transmitter transaction.

10. Autolearn mode will exit automatically after seven days (so long as power is not lost 

to the receiver). To exit Autolearn mode early, a master button must be pressed and 

held for between 10 and 20 seconds. Any valid master button will exit Autolearn - it 

need not be a button that is currently part of the Autolearn process.

4.5.  Link Erase Mode

There are two primary types of erase that pertain to all the receiver variants:

•  Transmitter Memory Erase
•  Settings Memory Erase

The procedure to perform the erase operation is documented below:

1.  Start with the receiver powered up
2.  If a particular channel compartment must be erased (in other words, if all the remote 

buttons associated with a particular channel must be erased), then fit the channel 

jumpers that select the desired channel.
