Safety instructions
General information
•Please keep the instruction manual safe!
•Only use in dry rooms.
•Only use unmodified original parts from the control unit manufacturer.
•Keep children away from control units.
•Observe all pertinent country-specific regulations.
•Dispose of used batteries properly. Only replace the battery with one of
the same type (see Technical Data).
Caution
•Keep people out of the system’s range of travel.
•If the system is controlled by one or more transmitters,
the system’s range of travel must always be visible during
operation.
•Device contains small parts that can be swallowed.
Caution
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A LITHIUM BATTERY.
If swallowed, a lithium battery can cause severe or fatal in-

Intended use
The transmitter described in these instructions must only be used for operat-
ing Centronic-compatible radio drives and radio control units.
•Please note that radio-controlled systems may not be used in areas with
a high risk of interference (e.g. hospitals, airports).
•The remote control is intended solely for use with equipment and sys-
tems in which malfunctions in the transmitter or receiver would not pose
any risk to persons, animals or property, or which contain safety devices
to eliminate such risks.
•The operator is not protected from interference from other telecommu-
nications systems and terminal equipment (e.g. even from radio-con-
trolled systems which are properly operated in the same frequency
range).
•Only connect radio receivers to devices and systems approved by the
manufacturer.
•Ensure that the control unit is not installed or operated
close to metal surfaces or magnetic fields.
•Radio-controlled systems transmitting on the same fre-
quency may cause reception interference.
•Note that the range of the radio signal is limited by legis-
lation as well as by design.

Explanation of functions
Channel
The channel of a transmitter can be programmed into one or more receivers.
One receiver is operated through an individual command, several receivers
through a group command.
6-en

Channel indicator lamp
A radio signal is indicated by the channel indicator lamp lighting up. When the
battery starts to lose power, the channel indicator lamp flashes when transmit-
ting. The transmission strength and the radio range decrease as battery power
declines. If the channel indicator lamp no longer lights up when a button is
pressed, the battery must be replaced.
Programming the transmitter
1) Programming the master transmitter
a) Readying the receiver for programming
The master transmitter refers to the very first transmitter
programmed in a receiver. In contrast to subsequently pro-
grammed transmitters, the master transmitter enables,
among other things, the setting of limit positions and the
programming or deleting of further transmitters. Any trans-
mitter that has separate UP, STOP, DOWN buttons and a pro-
gramming button can be a master transmitter.
Follow the Assembly and Operating Instructions for the re-
ceiver.
Operate the programming button on the transmitter using a
suitable cylindrical tool (e.g. a ballpoint pen).
•Switch off the power supply to the receiver for 5 seconds, then switch it
back on
or
•Operate the programming button or the radio switch of the receiver.
The receiver is now in programming mode for 3 minutes.
b) Programming the master transmitter
Press the programming button on the master transmitter while in program-
ming mode until the receiver confirms that programming has been successful.
The programming process is now complete.

2) Programming additional transmitters
1. Press the programming button of the master transmitter until the re-
ceiver confirms.
2. Then press the programming button of the new transmitter until the re-
ceiver confirms.
3. Now press the programming button of the new transmitter again.
4. The receiver confirms successful programming.
