SRR Remote Control
station number as follows:
1. If the unit is OFF (no display), power the
Transmitter up by pressing any of the
buttons for at least 1 second then releasing
the button. The Transmitter will first
illuminate the entire display for 1 second
then display the active station.
2. Simultaneously press the and buttons,
until the word “RUN TIME” along with the
current Run Time is displayed. The display
will be blinking at this point.
3. While the display is blinking and showing
the current address, press the “ON” button.
The display will continue to blink, but the
word “ADDRESS” will be illuminated.
4. Press the “ON” button again. The dis-
play will continue to blink, but the word
“ADDRESS” will no longer be illuminated.
5. Use the or buttons to change the
maximum station number to the value you
desire. Then, do not press any buttons for 5
seconds and the display will stop blinking
and return to the active station number.
6. You may now change the active setting to
the new maximum station value.
Maximizing Operating Range
There are many factors which influence
operating range. Listed below are a few things
you can do to assure you are getting the
maximum range possible.
1. Do not install the outlet of the wiring
harness (that the Receiver connects to)
near large sources of metal such as power
meters, water pipes, and aluminum siding.
2. Do not install the outlet of the wiring
harness in a basement or underground
location. The higher, the better.
3. For maximum range in all directions from
the Receiver, the Receiver antenna should
be pointed straight up (vertically). If the
Receiver is mounted with its antenna
oriented horizontally, reception will be
very good if the Transmitter is on either
side of the antenna, but very poor if it is
facing the end of the Receiver antenna.
4. When operating the Transmitter, hold the
Transmitter as vertical as possible and turn
and face the direction of the Receiver, even
if it is several hundred feet away.
A Word About Range
There are many claims being made about
the range of various remote control systems,
whether they be for auto alarms, garage
doors, or irrigation systems for that matter.
The published range for the SRR System is up
to 450 feet. Most users will achieve this range
or more, but a few may not. It is the attempt
of this section to educate the user about those
factors that influence operating range. We
believe that we have achieved the maximum
performance available on this frequency.
Hereʼs why
The range of any remote control system is
dependent on many factors. These include
theterrain at a particular site, obstructions
such as buildings and walls, the strength of
the various interfering signals, the sensitivity
of the Receiver, the ability of the Receiver to
reject “unwanted” signals, and the strength
of the Transmitter. Since it is impossible
to control the obstructions, terrain at a site,
and the strength of interfering signals, it is
impossible to guarantee an operating range
under all conditions. However, we have done
everything under our control to maximize the
operating range of this system.
The SRR Transmitter has been designed
to transmit the maximum power allowed by
the FCC. Furthermore, it has special circuitry
to assure that this maximum output power
is maintained until just before the battery
goes dead. Other transmitters emit less and
less power as the battery wears down. The
Receiver employs a reception method far
superior to that used in a typical garage door
opener or auto alarm.
The SRR has been designed to give you
simple, reliable operation for many years.
