5. Setup and Programming
Programming the BENINCA to.GO 2 A remote control typically involves a process of pairing it with your existing BENINCA receiver unit. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on your specific garage door opener or gate system model. Always refer to your receiver's manual for detailed programming instructions.
General Programming Steps (Consult Receiver Manual for Specifics):
- Access Receiver: Locate the programming button on your BENINCA garage door opener or gate receiver unit. This button is often labeled "PROG", "MEMO", or "LEARN".
- Activate Learning Mode: Press and release the programming button on the receiver. The LED on the receiver should illuminate or flash, indicating it is in learning mode. This mode is usually active for a short period (e.g., 5-10 seconds).
- Transmit Code: While the receiver is in learning mode, press and hold the desired button on your new BENINCA to.GO 2 A remote control for 2-3 seconds. The LED on the remote should light up during transmission.
- Confirm Pairing: The receiver's LED should change its behavior (e.g., flash rapidly, turn off, or illuminate steadily) to confirm successful pairing. Release the button on the remote.
- Test Operation: After programming, wait a few seconds, then press the programmed button on your remote control to test its operation. The garage door or gate should respond.
- Program Additional Buttons (Optional): If you wish to program the second button for another function or device, repeat steps 2-5, selecting the other button on the remote.
Note: If programming is unsuccessful, ensure the remote is within range of the receiver and that the receiver is correctly in learning mode. Some systems may require multiple presses of the remote button during programming.
6. Operating Instructions
Using your BENINCA to.GO 2 A remote control is straightforward once programmed:
- To Open/Close: Point the remote control towards your garage door or gate opener and press the programmed button firmly. The door/gate should begin to move.
- To Stop: Press the same programmed button again while the door/gate is in motion to stop it.
- Range: The effective operating range may vary depending on environmental factors, battery strength, and obstructions. For optimal performance, operate within a reasonable distance from the receiver.
- LED Indicator: The small LED on the remote will illuminate when a button is pressed, indicating that a signal is being transmitted. If the LED does not light up or is dim, the battery may need replacement.
7. Maintenance
Battery Replacement:
The BENINCA to.GO 2 A remote control uses a 12V A23 battery. When the remote's range decreases significantly or the LED indicator becomes dim or fails to light up, it's time to replace the battery.
- Locate the battery compartment. This is typically on the back or side of the remote, secured by a small screw or a snap-on cover.
- Carefully open the compartment using a small screwdriver or by prying the cover open.
- Remove the old A23 battery. Note its orientation (+/-).
- Insert a new 12V A23 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment securely.
- Test the remote control to ensure it functions correctly.
Cleaning:
Clean the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing or internal components.
