Note: Copying rolling code chips can be complex due to encryption. It is generally not recommended to directly copy rolling code chips without specific instructions for your receiver. The learning process with the receiver is usually required for rolling codes.

4. Setup and Programming Instructions

Before programming, ensure your original remote control operates at 433MHz or 433.92MHz and is compatible with the duplicator. There are two main methods for programming: direct copying for fixed codes and learning with the receiver for rolling codes.

4.1 Clearing Existing Codes (Essential First Step)

To ensure a clean slate for copying, you must first clear any existing codes from the duplicator remote:

1. Press and hold the A button and the B button simultaneously on the duplicator remote.
2. While still holding the A button, release the B button.
3. Press the B button three times.
4. The indicator light on the duplicator remote will flash rapidly, then turn off, indicating that the codes have been successfully cleared.

4.2 Copying Fixed Codes (Remote-to-Remote)

This method is suitable for fixed code remote controls. After clearing the duplicator remote:

1. Place the original remote control and the duplicator remote side-by-side, as close as possible.
2. Press and hold the desired button on your original remote control.
3. Simultaneously, press and hold the corresponding button on the duplicator remote.
4. The indicator light on the duplicator remote will first flash slowly, then rapidly, and finally stay solid. This indicates successful copying of that button's code.
5. Release both buttons.
6. Repeat this process for all other buttons you wish to copy.

4.3 Learning Rolling Codes (from Receiver/Motor)

For rolling code systems, direct remote-to-remote copying is often insufficient due to dynamic encryption. You typically need to program the duplicator remote directly to the receiver unit of your garage door opener or gate motor. The exact procedure may vary slightly depending on your receiver, but generally involves these steps:

1. Clear the duplicator remote's codes as described in Section 4.1.
2. Access the receiver unit: Locate the 'Learn' or 'Program' button on your garage door opener or gate motor's receiver board. This button is often small and may be inside the motor housing.
3. Activate learning mode: Press the 'Learn' or 'Program' button on the receiver unit once. The receiver's indicator light (often an LED) will usually illuminate or flash, indicating it is in learning mode.
4. Transmit from the duplicator: Within a few seconds (usually 5-10 seconds), press and hold the desired button on your newly cleared duplicator remote.
5. Confirmation: The receiver's indicator light may flash, change color, or turn off to confirm successful learning.
6. Test: Press the programmed button on the duplicator remote to test its functionality.

5. Operation

Once successfully programmed, operating the remote control duplicator is straightforward:

1. Ensure the remote control is within the effective transmission range (50-150m in open space) of the receiver unit.
2. Press the desired button on the remote control to activate the corresponding function (e.g., open/close garage door, arm/disarm alarm).
3. The indicator light on the remote control will illuminate briefly when a button is pressed, confirming signal transmission.

6. Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: The remote control uses a 12V 27A battery. If the transmission range decreases or the indicator light becomes dim, replace the battery. To replace, carefully open the remote casing and insert a new battery, ensuring correct polarity.
• Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the remote control in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Water Exposure: This device is not waterproof. Avoid exposing it to water or high humidity.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Remote is not working after programming:
  
  • Ensure you have followed the correct programming steps for your specific remote type (fixed code vs. rolling code).
  • For rolling codes, remember that direct remote-to-remote copying is often insufficient. You must program the duplicator directly to the receiver unit of your gate/door motor.
  • Verify that the original remote is functioning correctly.
  • Check the battery in the duplicator remote.
• Cannot code the remote / No cloning instructions:
  
  • Refer to Section 4 of this manual for detailed programming instructions.
  • Ensure the duplicator remote's codes are cleared before attempting to copy.
• Compatibility issues (e.g., with specific brands like FAAC, ROGERS, Peccini, ROSSI, BFT):
  
  • The duplicator is compatible with the listed chip types in Section 3. If your original remote uses a different chip, it may not be compatible.
  • For rolling code systems, even if the chip type is listed, the learning process with the receiver is crucial. Some highly encrypted rolling codes (e.g., HCS300, listed as 'partial code') may have limited or no compatibility for direct duplication.
• Battery issues (e.g., battery drained quickly, new battery not working):
  
  • Ensure you are using the correct battery type (12V 27A).
  • Check that the battery is inserted with the correct polarity.
  • If the issue persists, the remote control itself might be defective.

8. User Tips

• Always clear the duplicator remote's memory before attempting any new programming to avoid interference from old codes.
• When copying fixed codes, ensure the original and duplicator remotes are in very close proximity (touching if possible) for optimal signal transfer.
• For rolling code systems, be prepared to access the receiver unit of your garage door or gate motor to initiate the learning process. Consult your motor's manual for the exact location of its 'Learn' or 'Program' button.
• If you encounter difficulties with rolling code duplication, it is often more reliable to program the new remote directly to the receiver unit rather than attempting a remote-to-remote copy.
• Keep a spare battery on hand for uninterrupted use.
