2. Setup
2.1 Battery Installation
The remote control uses one LR23A 12V battery. The battery is typically pre-installed. If replacement is needed:
- Carefully open the remote control casing.
- Remove the old LR23A 12V battery.
- Insert the new LR23A 12V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the remote control casing securely.
2.2 Programming the Remote Control
The BFT MITTO B RCB4 remote control is programmed directly to your BFT receiver unit. Follow these general steps. Specific instructions for your receiver model may vary, refer to your gate/garage door system's main control unit manual for detailed programming modes.
- Prepare the Remote: To activate the remote for programming (similar to a hidden button function), press and hold the first two buttons (A and B) simultaneously for a few seconds. The red LED indicator on the remote will begin to flash and then become solid. This indicates the remote is ready to receive programming.
- Activate Receiver Programming Mode: On your BFT gate or garage door receiver unit, locate and press the programming button (often labeled 'PROG' or 'MEMO'). The receiver's indicator light will typically illuminate or flash, indicating it is in programming mode.
- Transmit Code: While the receiver is in programming mode, press the desired button on your BFT MITTO B RCB4 remote control that you wish to assign to the gate/garage function. Hold the button for a few seconds.
- Confirmation: The receiver's indicator light should change (e.g., flash rapidly, turn off, or become solid) to confirm successful programming.
- Test: Exit programming mode on the receiver (if necessary, by pressing the PROG button again or waiting for a timeout). Test the remote control from a short distance to ensure it operates the gate/garage door correctly.
Important: For optimal programming success, perform the programming steps in close proximity to your gate or garage door receiver unit.
3. Operating Instructions
Once programmed, operating your BFT MITTO B RCB4 remote control is straightforward:
- Opening/Closing: Press the programmed button on the remote control to activate your gate or garage door. A single press typically initiates the open or close cycle.
- Stopping: Pressing the button again during an open or close cycle may stop the movement, depending on your receiver's configuration.
- Range: The remote control has a maximum operating range of approximately 40 meters (130 feet) in open areas. Environmental factors and obstacles can reduce this range.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Replacement
When the remote control's range decreases significantly or the LED indicator fails to light up when a button is pressed, it is likely time to replace the battery. Refer to section 2.1 for battery installation instructions. Always use a fresh LR23A 12V battery.
4.2 Cleaning
Clean the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the remote in water, as this can damage the internal electronics.
4.3 Storage
Store the remote control in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid dropping the remote control or subjecting it to strong impacts.
