Enrolling Transmitters 

By using a remote / local PC programmer, it is possible to enroll up to 28 transmitters in the 
AmberLink and to program the panel as well.

 

Without PC: 

Up to 15 wireless devices / transmitters can be enrolled locally without a PC. The AmberLink will 
recognize the device type according to it's ID: 
1. Press and hold for 6 seconds both the "CANCEL" button and the MODE button. All 4 LEDs 

should flash to indicate that the system is in programming mode. 

2. To select the desired transmitter location (zone) number, click the MODE button (displays the 

next menu) or the "HELP" button (displays the previous menu) repeatedly until the desired 
transmitter location number is displayed (see Table below). Each press advances to the next 
location (zone) number (1 - 15). 
The LEDs lights combination indicates the Location / zone number, as shown in Table 1: 

Flashing light

 = Free location into which a transmitter can be enrolled. 

Steady light 

= Occupied location with an enrolled transmitter.

3. When the LEDs of the desired location flash, activate the desired transmitter. A success beep should 

be heard and the proper LEDs combination (see Table 1) should stop flashing and light constantly. 

4. To verify that the specific transmitter was properly enrolled, reactivate the transmitter once again and 

verify that all 4 LEDs flash once (in a sequential manner) and then the LEDs combination 
corresponding to the transmitter location return to light constantly as before. 

 

5. Perform steps 3 - 5 for all other desired transmitters. 
6. Exit from programming mode by pressing and holding for 6 seconds both the "CANCEL" button and 

the MODE button (automatic exit by time out will occur if no action is performed during 4 minutes).
