OPERATION
The XR2N FDS can memorise up to 248 radio codes divided between the channels 1 and 2. When a chan-nel is activated by the radio control, the relative relay output is activated:
LED DL5 lights up when the receiver is powered.
DIP SWITCH SW6 PROGRAMMING
Dip switch 2 is not used

In the bistable setting, contact CH2 switches state and remains switched until it is activated again by the radio control.
SETTING THE OPERATING MODE
By setting DIP switch 3 to OFF, the radio codes of the protocols provided can coexist on the same channel.

MEMORISING THE RADIO CONTROLS
Buttons SW1 and SW2 memorise the radio control for channel 1 (CH1) and channel 2 (CH2) respectively. Carry out the memorisation procedure holding the radio control about half a metre from the receiver.
MEMORISING THE FIRST FDS RADIO CONTROL
- Set the operating mode: dip switch 3-SW6 –>ON.
- Press the button of the receiver that corresponds to the channel that you wish to associate with the radio control until the relative LED starts to flash slowly (DL1->channel 1, DL2->channel 2). When the button is released, the LED continues to flash for 20 seconds, during which the radio codes can be memorised.
- Press and release the button of the FDS radio control that you want to memorise. Make sure that the flashing LED of the receiver becomes steady 2 seconds before it continues to flash for another 20 seconds. If the procedure was completed success-fully, the LED of the radio control flashes green/red 5 times before switching off.
- While the LED of the receiver is flashing, it is pos-sible to repeat the procedure at step 3 for other radio codes.
- If no code is memorised while the LED is flashing, after 20 seconds the LED switches off to indicate that the procedure has ended.
- To memorise additional radio controls at a later stage, repeat the procedure from step 2 or carry out the FDS self-learning procedure.
FDS SELF-LEARNING
- On a radio control that has already been memorised, press and hold the button you want to teach for 10 seconds, until its LED starts flashing green/red in sequence (for 20 seconds) and then release it.
- While the LED is flashing, bring the radio control that has already been memorised into contact face to face with the new one to be memorised.
- Press the button to be memorised on the new radio control and make sure that its LED flashes green / red 5 times before turning off.
- To complete the teaching procedure, wait for the LED of the radio control that has already been memorised to switch off, or press the button that you pressed in step 1 again.
MEMORISING THE FIRST SLH RADIO CONTROL
- Set the operating mode: dip switch 3-SW6 –>OFF.
- Set the operating frequency of the radio controls (DIP switch 4-SW6).
- Press the button of the receiver that corresponds to the channel that you wish to associate with the radio control until the relative LED starts to flash slowly (DL1->channel 1, DL2->channel 2). When the button is released, the LED continues to flash for 20 seconds, during which the following steps 2 and 3 should be carried out.
- On the SLH radio control: press buttons P1 + P2 simultaneously, then release them, the LED flashes.
- Press and release the button of the radio control to be memorised within 8 seconds. Make sure that the flashing LED of the receiver becomes steady 2 seconds before it switches off.
- Press the button of the radio control that has just been memorised twice in succession. The output associated with the channel activates.
MEMORISING OTHER SLH RADIO CONTROLS
- On the radio control that has already been memo-rised, press buttons P1 + P2 simultaneously, then release them, the LED flashes.
- Within 8 seconds, press and hold the button that has already been memorised, the LED lights up with a steady light.
- Bring the radio control that has already been memorised, into contact face to face with the new one to be memorised.
- Press the button to be memorised on the new radio control and make sure that its LED flashes twice before turning off.
- Release all buttons.
- Press the button on the new radio control that has just been memorised twice in succession. The associ-ated output on the receiver activates.
MEMORISING RC RADIO CONTROLS
- Set the operating mode: dip switch 3-SW6 –>OFF.
- Set the operating frequency of the radio controls: DIP switch 4-SW6 –>ON.
- Press the button of the receiver that corresponds to the channel that you wish to associate with the radio control until the relative LED starts to flash slowly (DL1->channel 1, DL2->channel 2). When the button is released, the LED continues to flash for 20 seconds, during which the codes can be memorised by pressing the relative buttons of the radio controls.
- Whenever a code is memorised, the LED of the receiver lights up steadily for 2 seconds and then flashes for 20 seconds.
- If no code is memorised while the LED is flashing, after 20 seconds the LED switches off to indicate that the procedure has ended.
- To memorise additional radio controls at a later stage, repeat the procedure from step 1.
MEMORISING RC RADIO CONTROLS REMOTELY
- Press buttons P1 + P2 for at least 5 seconds on a radio control that has already been memorised and then release them.
- Within 5 seconds, press and release the button of the radio control that has already been memorised to activate the learning phase on the same channel on the receiver.
- Press the button on the new radio control within 5 seconds. In the case of multiple radio controls, repeat this step for each one within 5 seconds of each other.
MEMORISING DS RADIO CONTROLS
- Set the operating mode: dip switch 3-SW6 –>OFF.
- Set the operating frequency of the radio controls (DIP switch 4-SW6).
- Set the required combination of the DIP switches on the radio control (avoid setting them to all On or all Off).
- Press the button of the receiver that corresponds to the channel that you wish to associate with the radio control until the relative LED starts to flash slowly (DL1->channel 1, DL2->channel 2). When the button is released, the LED continues to flash for 20 seconds, during which the following step should be carried out.
- Press and release the button of the radio control that you wish to memorise. Make sure that the flashing LED of the receiver becomes steady for 2 seconds and then flashes again for 20 seconds, during which it is possible to memorise another radio control with a different DIP switch combination.
- Whenever a code is memorised, the LED of the receiver lights up steadily for 2 seconds and then flashes for 20 seconds.
- If no code is memorised while the LED is flashing, after 20 seconds the LED switches off to indicate that the procedure has ended.
- To memorize other radio controls, it is possible to set a DIP switch combination that has already been memorised or repeat the procedure for new combinations.
CLEARING THE MEMORY
To delete all the radio codes for channels 1 and 2: press and hold button SW1 or SW2 until both LEDS DL1 and DL2 turn on steadily (after approximately 10 seconds).
MEMORY FULL
If in step 1 of the memorisation procedure, the LED turns off instead of continuing to flash for 20 seconds when the button is released, it means that the memory is full and it is not possible to memorise any more codes.
CONNECT THE EXTERNAL ANTENNA
To connect the external antenna (accessory) to terminal board J3 with the receiver powered off:
- Remove the antenna wire supplied.
- Connect the coaxial cable as shown in the figure.
