INTRODUCTION
The TANGO PRG programmer is a valid instrument for those who wish to broaden the possibilities of use which the
TANGO range of remote controls offers.
This programmer permits total control of coding parameters and its main features can be summed up as follows:
Code insertion.
Code reading.
Code erasure.
Duplication of receiver memories.
Detailed descriptions of all the modes plus some practical examples can be found in this handbook.
WPM software for managing installations by computer is supplied together with the TANGO PRG programmer.
The programmer also comes with:
Rechargeable NiCd battery.
External power supply for table-top use of programmer and as battery charger.
Liquid crystal display with two-line menu for easy reading.
Possibility of customising menus shown on the display according to the situation, by means of software.
Adapter card to store new codes directly in EEPROM.
OPERATION
Upon switching on, the TANGO PRG programmer display shows the menu from which access may be gained to the
main functions, i.e.:
INS = Insertion of codes (linked to key 1)
CAN = Erasure of codes (linked to key 2)
RIC = Reception of codes (linked to key 3)
MEM = Duplication of memory (linked to key 4)
INSERTING A CODE
In a transmitter
Using this function a code may be inserted as required into the TANGO transmitter, replacing the one that was set at
random during the factory testing stage.
Note:
Put the TANGO N transmitter into the mould or cavity to be found in the TANGO PRG programmer.
Given the particular shape of the remote control, we advise keeping it about 2 cm lower than the mould.
Proceed with programming, e.g. the code 5678, as follows:
From the main menu:
1 (Ins) entry into the code insertion mode
5678 type in the code to be programmed
Penter into the programming mode
1(Tra) select the device to be programmed (in this case a transmitter).
The red “Transfer” led on the front panel of the programmer now comes on, showing the start of programming.
Rest the transmitter in the shape outlined in the TANGO PRG and press a transmitter button until the writing CODE OK
appears for a moment on the display. The programmer will then continue the insertion stage.
Follow the same procedure to insert the code (which may be the same or different) also in the other transmitter buttons.
If button 1 is pressed during transmitter programming, the code is also stored in the other buttons.
If button 2 (or 3 or 4) is pressed during programming, the code just inserted will only go into the relative button.
If the writing CODE ERR appears, this may mean that:
The remote control has not been properly placed in the programmer.
To return to the main menu, press key Cfor a few seconds.

READING A CODE
Of a transmitter
The code of any transmitter of the Tango range may be read.
Rest the TANGO transmitter in the shape outlined in the programmer.
From the main menu:
3(Ric) selection of the code reading mode.
Press the transmitter key the code of which is to be read. Once read, the code is shown on the display.
Creturn to the main menu.
If the number 1.048.575 appears, it means that the transmitter has no code stored.
If the writing “Different family” appears, this means that it is impossible to operate with the programmer on that remote
control.
ERASING A CODE
Of a transmitter
The code of a transmitter may be erased.
To erase the code 5678.
From the main menu:
2 (Can) selection of the code erasure mode.
5678 type in the code to be erased.
Penter into the programming mode.
1 (Tra) select the device for which the code is to be erased (in this case a transmitter).
Pconfirm the operation.
The red “Transfer” led on the front panel of the programmer now comes on, showing the start of erasure.
Rest the transmitter in the shape outlined in the TANGO PRG and press a transmitter button until the writing CANC OK
appears for a moment on the display.
Follow the same procedure to erase the code (which may be the same or different) also in the other transmitter buttons.
If the writing CODE ERR appears, this may mean that:
The code to be erased is wrong.
If button 1 is pressed during transmitter programming, the code is automatically erased also in the other buttons.
If button 2 (or 3 or 4) is pressed during programming, the code is only erased in the relative button.

INSERTING A CODE
In the memory of the receiver
A code may be inserted into the memory of a TANGO receiver without going through the self-memorising operation by
transmitter.
Proceed with programming, e.g. of the code 5678, as follows:
Remove the memory from the receiver (see TANGO instructions) and plug it into the SLAVE base of the card
provided.
Plug in the card with the memory into the MEMORY CONNECTOR of the programmer.
From the main menu:
1 (Ins) entry into the code insertion mode
5678 type in the code to be programmed
Penter into the programming mode
2(Mem) select the device to be programmed (in this case the memory).
The programmer now asks “ Tx can:?”, i.e. with which transmitter button the receiver is to be enabled?
1 For example with channel 1.
PConfirmation of channel 1. The writing “Rx can:?” then appears, i.e. which relay is to be activated?
2 For example with relay 2.
PConfirmation.
If the writing CODE OK appears for a moment, this means that the operation has been successfully completed.
If the writing COD. PRES. appears for a moment, this means that a code which is already present has been inserted.
ERASING A CODE
From the memory of the receiver
A code may be erased directly on the receiver memory.
Proceed with erasure, e.g. of the code 5678, as follows:
Remove the memory from the receiver (see TANGO instructions) and plug it into the SLAVE base of the card provided.
Plug in the card with the memory into the MEMORY CONNECTOR of the programmer.
From the main menu:
3 (Can) selection of the code erasure mode.
5678 type in the code to be erased.
Penter into the programming mode.
2(Mem) select the device from which the code is to be erased (in this case the memory).
The programmer now asks “ Tx can:?”, i.e. which code channel is to be erased.
1 For example channel 1.
PConfirm erasure operation?
PConfirm operation.
If the writing “CANC. OK” appears for a moment, this means that the operation has been successfully completed.
If the writing “Code no pr” appears for a moment, this means that the code to be erased is not stored.

COMPLETE ERASURE
Of the receiver memory
The memory of the receiver may be totally erased.
Remove the memory from the receiver (see TANGO instructions) and plug it into the SLAVE base of the card provided.
Plug in this card with the memory into the MEMORY CONNECTOR of the programmer.
From the main menu:
4(Mem) selection of memory mode.
A reminder to plug in the memory on the relative base appears on the display.
PConfirmation of erasure is requested.
PConfirmation of operation.
During erasure : CANCELL. MEMORY is shown on the display; at the end of operations : END OF OPERATION is
indicated.
CReturn to main menu.
DUPLICATING RECEIVER MEMORIES
Copies of the receiver memory may be made.
To duplicate the memory of a receiver, use the programmer with the provided card plugged into the MEMORY
CONNECTOR.
This card allows two memories to be housed.
Plug in the empty memory onto the SLAVE base and the full one to be copied onto the MASTER base.
From the main menu:
4(Mem) selection of memory mode.
A reminder to insert the memories on the relative base appears on the display.
PConfirmation of duplication is requested.
PConfirmation of operation.
During duplication : DUPLICATION. MEM. is shown on the display; at the end of operations : END OF OPERATION is
indicated.
CReturn to main menu.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
As the TANGO PRG programmer may also be used outdoors, it comes with an internal rechargeable battery. The state
of the battery is shown on the display; when the battery is discharged the symbol appears, recommending use of
the programmer with external power supply.
The moment the external power supply is connected, the discharged battery symbol changes to the recharging
symbol
To reduce battery recharging times, it is advisable to keep the programmer switched off during this stage.
Full recharging usually takes approx. 20 hours.
Upon switching on again, if the battery is charged, no symbol appears on the programmer display.
