PROGRAMMING EXTA LIFE RADIO TRANSMITTERS
The LEDS indicate the following during the programming process:
- Green LED “STATUS” – programming process status
- Red LEDs “CH1” to “CH4” – currently selected channel
The LEDS indicate the following during standard operation:
- Green LED „STATUS” – receiving and transmitting data (light up briefly),
- Red LEDs “CH1” to “CH4” – current status of the channel.
CAUTION: In the ROM-24 receiver the programmable operating modes are overwritten. This means that if the selected transmitter’s button has
been assigned to the receiver output in the bistable mode, then to be able to assign that button to that channel in another mode (e.g. time mode),
it is not necessary to delete this button from the receiver’s memory in advance. In such a situation, the bistable mode will automatically change
to time mode. Exception: when button “1” on the transmitter is assigned to output 1 in bistable mode and button “2” is assigned to output 2 us-
ing the same mode. Then, to assign buttons 1 and 2 of one transmitter operating in on/off mode to output 1, you must first delete button 2 from
output 2. This may also apply to other combinations not described in this manual.
A receiver will react correctly only to the buttons which have been entered during programming. You can enter more buttons to a single receiver during suc-
cessive iterations of the programming process (maximum 96 pairs). This number applies to the entire receiver and not just a single channel.
In an EXTA LIFE system with receiver, you can program the selected buttons to the transmitter. This enables good flexibility during programming. Using a
P-456/8 remote with 8 buttons as an example you can program the buttons in the following way:
Button number
Operating mode
Receiver’s response
1
bistable mode – channel 1
Controls channel 1 (CH1)
2
bistable mode – channel 2
Controls channel 2 (CH2)
3
bistable mode – channel 3
Controls channel 3 (CH3)
4
bistable mode – channel 4
Controls channel 4 (CH4)
5, 6
on/off – channel 1 and 2
5 – activation of channel CH1 & CH2
6 – deactivation of channel CH1 & CH2
7, 8
on/off – channel 3 and 4
7 – activation of channel CH3 & CH4
8 – deactivation of channel CH3 & CH4
The same transmitter’s buttons may be entered simultaneously to multiple receivers (channels). Taking into account certainty and correct operation, it is
recommended to use on/off mode then. With the remaining modes, there can be an de-synchronization effect in the receivers’ operation.
The buttons can be entered directly to the receiver using the PROG. button. (Requires actual access to the receiver) or remotely (without physical access
to the receiver) using a controller and EXTA LIFE mobile app.
DIRECT PROGRAMMING USING PROG BUTTON
You can use the PROG button on the receiver to directly assign radio transmitters to the receiver.
PROGRAMMING BUTTONS TO SELECTED CHANNEL OF THE RECEIVER
Using 2-button remote P-457/2 as an example
ON/OFF MODE

OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
OPERATING MODES
RECEIVER FUNCTIONALITY ROM-24:
1. The ROM-24 receiver may be controlled at the same time using:
- EXTA LIFE system transmitters (on/off, bistable, monostable, time mode),
- The EXTA LIFE mobile app after pairing with controller (on/off, time mode),
- IN1 to IN4 external inputs (operating mode depends on the connector type – see Input functionalities).
2. The current state of a channel is indicated in the mobile app and by LEDs on the front panel.
3. More EXTA LIFE buttons/receivers can be assigned to a single receiver – up to 96 pairs (e.g. 48 receivers in on/off mode). This number applies to the entire
receiver (jointly for all four channels).
4. Radio transmitters can be programmed with a receiver locally using the PROG button and remotely without access to the receiver using mobile app.
5. Several receivers (channels) may work with a single transmitter; in such a situation it is recommended to assign a transmitter to each receiver (channel) work-
ing in on/off mode.
6. A receiver may be paired with only one EXTA LIFE controller at a time. The paired receiver is not visible to another controller during the search process.
7. Transmitter buttons assigned to the specific receiver’s channel may be deleted individually.
8. It is also possible to delete all buttons stored in the receiver’s memory at the same time by performing factory reset.
9. Basic parameters of a ROM-24 receiver are configured from app level.
10. The parameters are configurable independently for each channel (from CH1 to CH4).
11. You can use mobile app to execute remote software update in the receiver.

ON/OFF MODE
In the on/off mode, two transmitter buttons are always used for controlling the receiver’s channel. One of the buttons is always used for “on” function and
the other for the “off” function.
CAUTION! This mode is recommended for use to control more channels, i.e. more receivers using one transmitter.
BISTABLE MODE
In the bistable mode, only one transmitter button is used for controlling the receiver’s channel. That means that one button performs both the “on” and
“off” function. Output control is executed as a cyclic change of status at subsequent presses of the button on the transmitter. The bistable mode enables
independent control of more receivers using a single transmitter. For example when using remote a 4-channel remote control P-457/4, it is possible to
independently configure 4 circuits (channels).
CAUTION! The bistable mode is not recommended for simultaneous control over more than one receiver (channel).
MONOSTABLE MODE
In the monostable mode, only one transmitter button is used for controlling the receiver’s channel. The receiver’s output is active as long as the transmitter
key is pressed.
TIME MODE
In the time mode, only one transmitter’s button is used for controlling the specific transmitter’s channel. The receiver’s output is activated by pressing the
transmitter button and deactivated automatically after a preset time. Pressing the transmitter button during the countdown time results in quicker deactiva-
tion of the receiver’s output (system without re triggering of time). The activation time can be programmed in the range from 1 s to 18 h. With the ROM-24
receiver you can set independent times for each button assigned to the time mode, for each local input and for control from application.
ACTIVATE MODE
This mode is available only from installation connectors connected to inputs IN1 to IN4. In this mode you can only activate the specific channel, i.e. output
in a receiver.
DEACTIVATE MODE
This mode is available only from installation connectors connected to inputs IN1 to IN4. In this mode it is possible to deactivate the specific channel (output)
in a receiver.
