4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The BFT Mitto B RCB04 R1 remote control uses a 12V battery. In most cases, the battery is pre-installed. If you need to install or replace the battery:

  1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
  2. Carefully open the cover using a small screwdriver or a similar tool if necessary.
  3. Insert the 12V battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
  4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

After battery installation, press any button on the remote. A small LED indicator on the remote should light up, confirming power.

5. Programming the Remote Control

The BFT Mitto B RCB04 R1 remote control operates on a 433.92 MHz rolling code frequency and is programmed directly with the receiver unit of your gate or access system. The exact programming procedure may vary slightly depending on your specific BFT receiver model. Always refer to the instruction manual of your BFT gate or access system receiver for detailed programming steps.

5.1 General Programming Steps (Consult Receiver Manual)

A typical programming sequence involves:

  1. Accessing the Receiver: Locate the control unit of your gate or access system. This unit typically houses the receiver board.
  2. Entering Programming Mode: Press and hold the programming button (often labeled "PROG," "MEMO," or similar) on the receiver board. The LED on the receiver will usually change state (e.g., light up, flash) to indicate it's in programming mode.
  3. Transmitting from New Remote: While the receiver is in programming mode, press and hold the desired button on your new BFT Mitto B RCB04 R1 remote control for a few seconds.
  4. Confirmation: The receiver's LED will typically confirm successful programming (e.g., flash rapidly, turn off, or change color).
  5. Exiting Programming Mode: Some receivers automatically exit programming mode after a short period, while others require another press of the programming button.
  6. Testing: Test the newly programmed remote control to ensure it operates the gate or system correctly.

Note: For cloning from an existing remote, ensure your existing remote and receiver support this function. This typically involves a sequence of button presses on both the old and new remotes, often requiring the old remote to be already programmed to the receiver. Refer to your receiver's manual for specific cloning instructions if applicable.

6. Operating the Remote Control

Once programmed, operating your BFT Mitto B RCB04 R1 remote control is straightforward:

  • Button Functions: Each of the four buttons can be programmed to control a different function or device (e.g., open/close gate, pedestrian opening, activate lights). The function of each button depends on how it was programmed to your receiver.
  • Activation: To activate a function, simply press the corresponding button on the remote control. The LED indicator on the remote will light up during transmission.
  • Range: Ensure you are within the operational range of your receiver. Obstacles and environmental factors can affect the signal range.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Battery Replacement

If the remote control's LED indicator becomes dim or does not light up, or if the range decreases significantly, it is likely time to replace the battery. Follow the steps in Section 4.1 to replace the 12V battery.

7.2 Cleaning

Clean the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the remote in water.
