2.4 Pairing with Electric Blinds
To control your electric blinds, the remote must be paired with the blind motors. The pairing process typically involves a programming button on the blind motor and a sequence on the remote. Refer to your specific blind motor's instructions for the exact pairing procedure. Generally, the steps are:
- Ensure the blind motor is powered on.
- Locate the programming button (often labeled 'PROG' or 'P') on your blind motor. Press and hold it until the motor jogs or indicates pairing mode.
- On the AC123-16 remote, select the desired channel (1-16) you wish to assign to this blind.
- Press the 'Up' button on the remote. The blind motor should jog again, confirming successful pairing.
- Repeat for each blind, assigning a unique channel or grouping multiple blinds to a single channel.
