3. Setup and Programming

The ANBWEHR duplicator remote control requires cloning the signal directly from your existing, functional Hormann remote control. You must have an original, working remote to perform the cloning process.

Cloning Procedure:

1. Clear Existing Code (if any): Press and hold the two top buttons (A and B) on the ANBWEHR duplicator remote simultaneously until the LED indicator flashes rapidly (approximately 3 seconds). Release the buttons. This clears any pre-existing codes.
2. Initiate Cloning: Place your original Hormann remote control and the ANBWEHR duplicator remote control side-by-side, as close as possible (face-to-face is recommended for best results).
3. Copy Button: Press and hold the desired button on your original Hormann remote that you wish to copy. Simultaneously, press and hold the corresponding button on the ANBWEHR duplicator remote where you want to store the code.
4. Confirmation: Continue holding both buttons. The LED on the ANBWEHR duplicator remote will first flash slowly, then rapidly, indicating successful code duplication. Release both buttons.
5. Test: Test the newly programmed button on the ANBWEHR duplicator remote to ensure it operates your garage door or gate correctly.
6. Repeat: Repeat steps 2-5 for any other buttons you wish to program.

1. Ensure you are within the effective operating range of your garage door or gate receiver.
2. Press the corresponding button on the ANBWEHR remote that you programmed for your specific function (e.g., open, close).
3. The LED indicator on the remote will illuminate briefly to confirm a signal transmission.

Operating Range:

The effective operating range of the remote control is typically 10-50 meters in open space. In environments with interference, the range may be reduced to 5-30 meters.

5. Maintenance

Battery Replacement:

The ANBWEHR duplicator remote control uses one 12V battery, which is included with the product. When the remote's range decreases significantly or the LED indicator fails to light up, it may be time to replace the battery.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
2. Carefully open the compartment using a small screwdriver or by sliding the cover.
3. Remove the old 12V battery.
4. Insert a new 12V Silver-Zinc battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
5. Close the battery compartment securely.

Note: Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

6. Troubleshooting

• Remote not programming:
  • Ensure your original Hormann remote is functional and transmitting a strong signal.
  • Verify that your original remote is one of the compatible 868 MHz blue button models listed in Section 2.
  • Make sure the ANBWEHR remote's existing code was cleared before attempting to clone.
  • Ensure the original and duplicator remotes are placed very close, preferably face-to-face, during the cloning process.
  • Check the battery in both remotes.
• Remote not operating garage door/gate:
  • Confirm successful programming by re-testing the cloning process.
  • Ensure you are within the effective operating range.
  • Check for any obstructions or sources of interference between the remote and the receiver.
  • Verify the battery level in the ANBWEHR remote.
• Incompatibility issues:
  • If your original remote is not a Hormann 868 MHz blue button model, this duplicator will not work. Refer to the compatibility section.
  • This duplicator is not compatible with Hormann BiSecur (BS Series) systems.
