finished. If the password is entered correctly, the device will enter Setup Mode. If it is entered
incorrectly, the device will power down.
NOTE: The factory default password to get into the setup menu is 0000.
4.2 ADJUSTING SETTINGS IN SETUP MODE
To navigate through Setup Mode, the Joystick/Paddle designated (MTN 1) and OFF-ON-START
switch are used. The Joystick/Paddle cycles through the menus and is also used to change
parameters within the menus. Pushing the OFF-ON-START switch to the START position will
toggle between the menu and its parameter(s). When adjusting larger values, the speed is
dependent on how far the Joystick/Paddle is depressed.
NOTE: No parameter changes will take effect until the user has selected ‘Save and Exit’ from the
Setup Mode.
4.2.1 Access Code
The Access Code determines which receiver will be controlled by the transmitter.
The Access Code in the XLTX transmitter must match the receiver Access Code or DIP switches.
If the Access Codes settings on the receiver and transmitter do not match, no communication will
occur.
The Access Code is a 20-bit binary value with a decimal equivalent of 0 - 1048575. It will be
displayed as binary or decimal depending on the application.
4.2.2 Channel Select
The Channel Select setting determines the frequency on which the XLTX is operating.
The user can select channels 1 through 32, which correspond to the frequencies in Sections 6.2
and 6.3.

4.2.3 User Code
The User Code setting is a unique identifier that allows the user to select multiple modes when
using the same channel. The receiver can be tuned to only ‘hear’ messages sent from a
transmitter with the same user code.
4.2.4 Transmitter Timeout
This setting controls the amount of time that the transmitter can be inactive before it automatically
shuts off.
The Timeout time can be set from 1 to 60 minutes.
When the unit times out, the transmitter will turn off.
Setting Timeout to 0 disables transmitter timeout.
4.2.5 Backlight Timeout
Backlight timeout setting controls the amount of time that the backlight will stay on after a
command is pressed before it automatically shuts off.
Backlight Timeout can be set from 1 to 30 seconds.
Setting Time-Out to 0 disables the backlight.
NOTE: Leaving the backlight on longer will decrease the battery run time and will require more
frequent battery replacement (or recharges for optional rechargeable battery packs).
4.2.6 Password Enable
This setting enables or disables the requirement of entering a password into the transmitter to
enter setup mode.
When the disabled setting is selected the user will go directly into setup mode without being
prompted to enter a password.
Magnetek strongly recommends enabling the setup mode password setting to prevent
unauthorized or accidental changes to parameters.
NOTE: the unit is shipped with the password requirement enabled and utilizing the factory default
password.
WARNING
DO NOT ASSUME THE POWER IS OFF IN THE RECEIVER BECAUSE THE
TRANSMITTER IS TURNED OFF. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
