As mentioned, channels need not be numbered explicitly; but for clarity the following
channels are available on a receiver that supports four outputs:
Simultaneous Channel Activation:
Simultaneous activation is a feature that is enabled on multichannel receivers that allows
a transmitter button to activate multiple primary channels simultaneously.
The primary channels are equivalent to the outputs referred to in the section above
(Out 1, 2, 3, and 4). Each of the primary channels that are activated simultaneously will
inherit their individual activation settings. For example, suppose a user learns a button to
activate primary channels 1, 2, and 4 (Outputs 1, 2 and 3 on the receiver). Individually
the channels are configured with the following activation settings:
• Channel 1 has a one second pulse time
• Channel 2 has a four second pulse time
• Channel 4 is a latching channel
When the channels are activated simultaneously, the activation settings are applied as
if the channels were activated individually. In other words, channel 1 activates for one
second, channel 2 activates for four seconds, and channel 4 toggles its current output
state.
It is possible, and desirable in some cases, to disable the simultaneous channel activation
feature. To effect this, the multichannel receiver must be powered up with a special
combination of jumpers fitted.
