PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERS: 

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING NOTE #1:  Exit transmitter programming mode by waiting 10 seconds, without transmitting any button codes.  

Upon exiting, the unit chirps 5 times and the LED goes out.

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING NOTE #2: a transmitter code must be entered into a slot in order to access the next slot, even if the first 

output(s) are not planned to be used. 

The REC-43 needs to be connected to power and ground, and all of the transmitters which are to operate the unit need to be present.  A small 

instrument, such as screwdriver or toothpick, is needed to press the Transmitter Programming Switch which is located below the small opening 

on the top of REC-43’s case.

Your Action:

STEP 1: Press and hold the Transmitter 

Programming Switch for 2 seconds.

STEP 2: Release the Transmitter Programming Switch.

STEP 3: In sequence of desired operation, press the buttons on 

the first transmitter.  Only one button, or up to four buttons, on each 

transmitter may be coded into the REC-43.

STEP 4: To program the button codes of  an additional transmitter, 

press and hold the Transmitter Programming Switch.

REPEAT Step 2 and Step 3.

Unit’s Reaction:

The Transmitter Programming Indicator Light will illuminate, and the 

REC-43 will softly chirp 4 times, then chirp louder one more time.  It 

is ready to receive the first transmitter’s button codes.

The unit will beep once and the indicator light will flash once when 

the first button code is learned, then 2 times for the second button 

code, 3 times for the third button and 4 times for the fourth button.  

The REC-43 has four button code “slots” for each transmitter, the 

code slots’ numerical order in the programming procedure equals 

the output number- slot #1 is output #1, slot #2 is output #2, slot #3 

is output #3, and slot #4 is output #4.

The REC-43 will chirp twice to indicate that it’s ready to learn the 

second transmitter’s button codes (or chirp 3 times for a third trans-

mitter, or four times for a fourth transmitter).

Switch inboard = Timed Pulse
Switch centered = Latch / Unlatch
Switch outboard = On Demand 

On Demand and Latch / Unlatch programming:

To configure On Demand or Latch / Unlatch operation, simply place 

the selected output’s switch in the center or outboard position. 

Timed Pulse programming:

Placing an output’s switch in the inboard position will configure

the output for Timed pulse operation.  The length of time of the 

output is adjustable from 1/10 second to 30 seconds.  

To change an output’s pulse time, remove the 

programming  jumper, then operate the output 

and adjust the output pulse more or less by 

turning the variable  adjustment.  When the 

desired  output pulse time  has been properly  

set, reinstall the programming jumper. 

CONFIGURING THE OUTPUTS: 

Each output can operate as a Timed Pulse, On Demand, or Latch / Unlatch type.  The way in which the operation is determined is by a 3-position 

switch; each output has its own switch, as shown below.
