How to program remote transmitters onto remote receiver cards.

Here is a quick guide to assist you in programming your remote transmitter onto a external receiver card.

• Some receiver cards have steel pins that needs to be bridged with a jumper.
• Other receiver cards have buttons which needs to be depressed when a remote transmitter is to be programmed.
• It must be noted, that some remote transmitters can be programmed onto other receiver cards systems, this is not the norm.
• If you are looking to add new remote transmitters to gate motors/ garage door motors onboard receivers, then please see our gate automation motor page or garage automation page.
• Gate motors, Garage door motors, alarm systems, access gates, panic systems all work on timed relays actions & never latching.

Centurion remote receiver systems:

• Centurion receiver cards have a 3x steel pin programming setup.
• If the J2 set of pins is selected on power up, then the receiver is in a latching mode.
• If the J1 set of pins is selected on power up, then a timed contact mode is selected.
• If no pin set was selected, the receiver card will revert to a timed operation system.
• Remotes cannot be mixed between latching or timed operation.
• If a complete new remote receiver is being used for the 1st time, then a complete delete action is needed to clear the memory bank. This will guarantee that no other remote transmitter can activate the receiver card.
• To carry out a complete delete action, on a timed operation fit the jumper onto the J2 steel pins set. The led light will start flashing to indicate that a delete action is to be performed.  If the selected function is incorrectly chosen, remove the jumper to prevent the erasing function.
• Wait until the led light is on solid, this indicates that the delete was successful.
• Now select the function by placing the jumper onto the correct position, J1 for timed operation or J2 for latching operation.
• Press the desired remote button while extending your arm out and away from the receiver card. When the receiver sees the remote transmitter signal, the led light will flash once, repeat the steps to program all remote transmitters.
• If a incorrect button was assigned to the remote receiver card, then a complete delete/ erase function needs to be conducted and the process needs to start afresh.
• After programming of all desired remote transmitters, the remove the jumper from the J1 or J2.
• Test all remote transmitters for proper operation.
• Take note when programming new transmitters into the memory. The receivers have the ability to detect other signals in the area and as such, those remote transmitters can be programmed into the receiver, which will cause unwanted activations of the remote receiver cards.

Sentry remote receiver systems:

• Sentry code hopping receiver cards have a button system present which allows for adding of new remote transmitters.
• Steel pins and jumpers allows for the selection of timed or latching of the receiver system.
• By changing the latching jumper to on/ or off one can change between actions of the relays.
• If no pin/ jumper set is selected, the receiver card will revert to a timed operation system.
• Remotes cannot be mixed between latching or timed operation.
• If a complete new remote receiver is being used for the 1st time, then a complete delete action is needed to clear the memory bank. This will guarantee that no other remote transmitter can activate the receiver card.
• To carry out a complete delete action, press and hold the program button in for a time of 10 seconds.
• It does vary with some of the sentry receiver cards.
• Some receiver cards, a depressed button on power up is needed for 10 seconds to erase the remote receiver memory bank.
• To program a new remote transmitter, press the button on the remote receiver card.
• Press the desired remote button while extending your arm out and away from the receiver card. When the receiver sees the remote transmitter signal, the buzzer would beep signaling the accepting of the transmitted signal.
• If a incorrect button was assigned to the remote receiver card, then a complete delete/ erase function needs to be conducted and the process needs to start afresh.
• Test all remote transmitters for proper operation.
• Take note when programming new transmitters into the memory. The receivers have the ability to detect other signals in the area and as such, those remote transmitters can be programmed into the receiver, which will cause unwanted activations of the remote receiver cards.

ET remote receiver systems:

• ET code hopping receiver cards have a jumper system present which allows for adding of new remote transmitters.
• Steel pins and jumpers allows for the selection of timed or latching of the receiver system.
• By changing the latching jumper to on/ or off one can change between actions of the relays.
• If no pin/ jumper set is selected, the receiver card will revert to a timed operation system.
• Remotes cannot be mixed between latching or timed operation.
• If a complete new remote receiver is being used for the 1st time, then a complete delete action is needed to clear the memory bank. This will guarantee that no other remote transmitter can activate the receiver card.
• To carry out a complete delete action, one will need to fit jumpers on all pins and then power up the remote receiver card.
• To program a new remote transmitter, press place the jumper on the “P” pins.
• Press the desired remote button while extending your arm out and away from the receiver card. When the receiver sees the remote transmitter signal, the buzzer would beep signaling the accepting of the transmitted signal.
• If a incorrect button was assigned to the remote receiver card, then a complete delete/ erase function needs to be conducted and the process needs to start afresh.
• Test all remote transmitters for proper operation.
• Take note when programming new transmitters into the memory. The receivers have the ability to detect other signals in the area and as such, those remote transmitters can be programmed into the receiver, which will cause unwanted activations of the remote receiver cards.

Sherlotronics/ Sherlo remote receiver systems:

• Sherlotronics/ Sherlo code hopping receiver cards have a button present which allows for adding of new remote transmitters.
• Steel pins and jumpers allows for the selection of timed or latching of the receiver system.
• By changing the latching jumper to on/ or off one can change between actions of the relays.
• If no pin/ jumper set is selected, the receiver card will revert to a timed operation system of 1 second.
• A jumper system is present to allow for a timed period of 3 seconds.
• Remotes cannot be mixed between latching or timed operation.
• If a complete new remote receiver is being used for the 1st time, then a complete delete action is needed to clear the memory bank. This will guarantee that no other remote transmitter can activate the receiver card.
• To carry out a complete delete action, one will need to press and hold the program button in until the remote receiver card beeping turns into a solid long continuous beep.
• To program a new remote transmitter, press program button once to enter programming.
• Program all remote transmitters by pressing each remote transmitter 3x times.
• Press the desired remote button while extending your arm out and away from the receiver card. When the receiver sees the remote transmitter signal, the buzzer would beep signaling the accepting of the transmitted signal after the 3rd pressing.
• Press the program button to exit the programming mode.
• If a incorrect button was assigned to the remote receiver card, then a complete delete/ erase function needs to be conducted and the process needs to start afresh.
• Test all remote transmitters for proper operation.
• Take note when programming new transmitters into the memory. The receivers have the ability to detect other signals in the area and as such, those remote transmitters can be programmed into the receiver, which will cause unwanted activations of the remote receiver cards.

Trouble shooting remote transmitters.

• Remote transmitters are quite robust in their everyday life.
• Remote transmitters are normally attached to keys, which are frequently dropped etc.
• Some remote transmitters do survive a dive into a washing machine but this is not common.
• To successfully test a remote transmitter one needs a remote signal tester.
• As a end user, one can do several checks to trouble shoot a remote transmitter.
• When depressing a remote transmitter a light should come on, on the remote transmitter.
• When the light is on solid one knows that the remote battery is in a good condition.
• When the led light on the remote is flashing, it means the remote battery needs to be replaced soon.
• When no light comes on when depressing the remote transmitter, it could be that.
• The remote transmitter battery has failed/ is worn out.
• The battery is not making properly contact on the contact points.
• The battery could have been inserted incorrectly where the battery positive is now connected to the remote negative terminal.
• Note: A light on a remote transmitter does not mean a signal is being send out by the transmitter. to check the transmitter for sending out a signal, a signal tester is needed.
