Companion Remote Control

Programming the SURFiR

The SURFiR remote control is programmed using RTI’s 

Integration 

Designer

®

 software. Once you have completed the programming, 

Integration Designer

®

 will generate a unique 10 digit configuration 

code that will allow the RTI XP processor to identify the SURFiR. 

This code is entered manually into the remote via a series of button 

presses on the numeric keypad. 

NOTE: This configuration code is based on SURFiR’s programming 

functions, RF transmission output type, zone code etc. Therefore 

this code may need to be updated in the SURFiR if any of these 

options change.

1) Enter Configuration Mode on SURFiR

The SURFiR is in configuration mode when the LED status light 

(located at the top of the remote) is blinking red and green. The 

SURFiR is automatically in configuration mode the first time it is 

powered-up (when it is in its factory default state). To put the 

SURFiR in configuration mode:

• Press and hold the “Power” button (located at the top of the 

remote) for 10 seconds until the LED status light blinks red and 

green.

2) Get Configuration Code 

When you have completed programming the SURFiR in 

Integration 

Designer

®

 go to: 

 • Communications Menu>Get SURFiR Configuration Code.

or 

 • Communications Menu>Send to Device.

3) Enter Configuration Code into SURFiR

 a) Press “Enter” button on SURFiR (LED status light blinking stops)

 b)  Enter 10 digit code using numeric keypad on SURFiR (remote 

beeps with each press).

 c) Press “Enter” button on SURFiR to finish.

Installing Batteries

The SURFiR uses four (4) AAA batteries and ships without a screw 

installed in the battery door. Three optional tri-head security screws 

are included for installations such as hotels, to hinder access to the 

battery compartment. The included security screw removal tool can 

be used to install the security screw.   

1  Remove the screw on the battery door (if installed).

2   Remove the battery door from the rear of the remote by applying 

pressure near battery door seam and pulling down (pressing 

down near seam “unlocks” the door latch).

3   Insert the batteries into the battery compartment sleeves so that 

the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the batteries match the 

diagrams.

4   Slide the battery door onto the remote until it snaps into place.

5   Reinstall the battery door security screw using the security screw 

tool (optional).
