page 2 of 2
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Vantage
Controls could void the user’s authority to operate this product.
Battery Usage
To ensure that the battery is not unnecessarily discharged, the
MKFOB goes to sleep when it is not sending messages. When
it wakes to send a message, it immediately goes back into the
sleep mode once the message transmission has been
confirmed and no other button activity is present.
Installing a New Battery
To install the battery, you must open the MKFOB housing.
While the unit is designed to withstand handling, there is a
circuit board inside, so you should avoid opening the housing
in areas prone to excessive static electricity. Touch a grounded
surface to discharge excessive static electricity from your
body before touching the printed circuit board.
1.
Open the MKFOB
housing by inserting the
edge of a coin into the
notch on the corner of
the unit, near the key-
chain loop. Twist the
coin to pop open the
housing.
2.
Remove the back
housing; on it is the
product identification
label with battery
instructions. The circuit
board and battery
remains in the front housing.
3.
Remove the old battery by pushing it
out of the metal clip that holds it in
place.
4.
Install the new CR2450 3Volt battery
with the positive (+) plane against the
metal clip.
5.
Reassemble the unit then snap the
housing together. Test the buttons.
Make sure you get the appropriate
soft click when you press each button.
CAUTION: BATTERY MAY EXPLODE IF MISTREATED. DO
NOT RECHARGE, DISASSEMBLE, OR DISPOSE OF IN FIRE.
REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF
USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURE’S
INSTRUCTIONS.
Testing
After completing the MKFOB setup, you can test scene recall
by pressing a button. You should hear a soft click when you
press each button. Scene recall works best with an immediate
release of the button. The LED should come on and be green
then turn off a second or two after you release the button.
Troubleshooting
During Set House ID, the LED is not flashing on some
Wireless devices.
If an LED is solid green before initiating house ID
binding:
The device already has another house ID. Reset it to
the factory default so that it can be bound to the
InFusion System with a unique house ID. Resetting to
factory defaults is described in
Obtaining A Unique
Keyfob House ID
.
If LED is solid amber after initiating house ID binding:
The device may be out of range of the initiating device.
Move the MKFOB closer to the RFLC Enabler.
The LED does not light when I press a button
.
The battery may be out of position or may need
replacement. See Battery Usage/Installing a New
Battery.
The MKFOB won’t accept the House ID binding and it
will not initiate a binding.
See
“
There is no click ...
” next.
There is no click when I press a button
.
The key membrane inside the MKFOB housing may be
out of position. Contact technical support for assistance.
A device that is included in a scene does not respond
appropriately when I invoke the scene from the MKFOB.
The non-responsive device or the MKFOB may be out of
range of the RFLC Enabler (RFLC-V232) interface. Move
the MKFOB closer to the RFLC Enabler and invoke the
scene from the MKFOB. If the device responds
appropriately from a closer distance, it may be necessary
to adjust the location of the RFLC Enabler, or ensure the
MKFOB is closer to the enabler.
I need to start over.
You can reset any wireless device to factory default
settings by pressing and holding its binding activation
buttons until its LED changes to solid amber
(approximately 10 seconds).
For the MKFOB, the binding activation buttons are 1
and 2. During the process, the LED flashes amber and
when the reset is complete, it changes to solid amber.
The amber LED stays lit for approximately one minute
as it waits to hear a binding message. The device can
then be reconfigured, exactly like any new device. To
reconfigure, follow the steps above,

Unique Keyfob House ID
to obtain a new house ID and
configure in Design Center.
