Adding extra remote controls/entry to software switches
A quick guide for transmitter learn and entry to software switches is at annex 2 at the rear of this manual
All systems come provided with two remote controls pre-programmed into the alarm unit. Should the customer require
extra or replacement remote controls they can be purchased through any Datatool authorised dealer. Up to a maximum
of six remote controls can operate the system at any one time.
To add a new remote control use the following sequence:
a)
Disarm the alarm system using either a transmitter or PIN code
(Please note: The code 0000 cannot be used, so if a PIN has not previously been entered and both
remote controls have been lost, the alarm unit will have to be returned to Datatool to be cleared and have
new remote controls coded to it). This is a chargeable service. Contact Datatool for the current charge.
b)
Immediately after the LED flashes to signify the number of remotes coded into it, cycle the ignition ON,
OFF, ON, OFF and ON within 7 seconds.
c)
The LED will enter rapid flash for 3 seconds and then start flashing the LED slowly and beeping the siren
as previously described.
d)
Enter the PIN number as described previously on page 33.
e)
When the PIN number has been entered correctly, the siren will give a long tone (1 second).
f)
Turn the ignition OFF and ON to enter the transmitter learn procedure.
g)
Within 15 seconds, press the Grey button of a new transmitter to teach it to the system.
h)
The LED will immediately flash a number of times equal to the number of transmitters taught to the system.
i)
Should you require more remote controls to be programmed in, press the Grey button on each new
transmitter to teach it to the system.
j)
The transmitter memory is a stack with six locations operating on a First In First Out basis. There is no limit
to the number of transmitters which can be taught at one time but the 7
th
transmitter/PIR will replace 1
st
, 8
th
will replace 2
nd
etc.
k)
Turn the ignition OFF and leave it OFF for 15 seconds to exit transmitter learn mode, two long tones to
indicate learn mode has been exited.
Alternatively to customise the alarm (Programming mode; customer
software switches)
•
From point f above, press the Grey button of a remote control (new or existing) to ‘teach’ it to the
system.
•
Within 15 seconds, turn the ignition OFF wait for 2 beeps.
•
Turn the ignition back ON again immediately.
•
This enters the software switch settings enabling the customisation of the system (see next section
‘Customising the system’).
Please note if you are going to carry out extended programming on a machine where the lights are permanently on with
the ignition on it is advisable to either disconnect the headlights or withdraw the headlight fuse temporarily whilst carrying
out the procedure.
Remember to reconnect when finished.
