4. Setup

4.1. Battery Installation

  1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device.
  2. Open the battery compartment cover.
  3. Insert two 1.5 V LR03 / AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

4.2. Mounting the Device

The FIT 4 BS can be mounted on a wall using either double-sided adhesive tape or screws and wall plugs (not included).

  • Adhesive Mounting: Clean the desired wall surface thoroughly. Apply strong double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the push button and firmly press it onto the wall.
  • Screw Mounting: Mark the desired mounting position on the wall. Drill appropriate holes for wall plugs and screws. Secure the push button to the wall using screws.

Choose a location that is easily accessible and within range of your garage door operator or radio receiver.

4.3. Programming with your Hormann Operator/Receiver

The FIT 4 BS is a 4-channel device, meaning each of its four buttons can be programmed to control a different function or operator. The programming process typically involves a learning function on your Hormann garage door operator or radio receiver.

  1. Consult your operator's manual: Refer to the specific instruction manual for your Hormann garage door operator (e.g., Promatic/Supramatic 4 series) or radio receiver for detailed programming steps. The process usually involves activating a "learn" mode on the operator.
  2. Initiate learning mode: Follow the instructions for your operator to put it into learning mode. This often involves pressing a button on the operator's control unit.
  3. Transmit signal from FIT 4 BS: While the operator is in learning mode, press and hold the desired button on your FIT 4 BS for a few seconds until the operator confirms the signal reception (e.g., by flashing a light or making a sound).
  4. Test operation: Once programmed, test the button to ensure it correctly controls the intended function.
  5. Repeat for other channels: If you wish to program other buttons for different functions or operators, repeat the process for each button.

Note: The exact programming procedure may vary depending on the model of your Hormann operator or receiver.

5. Operating the Device

Once programmed, operating the Hormann FIT 4 BS is straightforward.

  • Single Press: To activate the programmed function (e.g., open/close garage door), simply press the corresponding button on the FIT 4 BS.
  • Multiple Functions: If you have programmed multiple buttons, ensure you press the correct button for the desired action.

The device transmits an impulse signal to the paired receiver/operator.

6. Maintenance
