Transmitter Coding

FAAC transmitters can be of two types: master and slave. We only sell master transmitters; if you need a slave, you convert it from a master.

How to recognise a master/slave transmitter

• Master: If you press any key of a master transmitter, the LED flashes before becoming steady.
• Slave: If you press any key of a slave transmitter, the LED goes on immediately with steady light.

Differences between master and slave transmitter

• Master: Only a master transmitter can transfer its "system code" to a decoding card/RP receivers and to other Transmitters (master or slave).
• Slave: Unable to transfer its "system code" and, therefore, cannot be either duplicated or used for coding systems. Can learn the "system code" from a master transmitter.

Transmitter Coding

1. Take a WORKING transmitter and push buttons P1 and P2 simultaneously (see fig 1). The LED will start to flash.
2. Let go of both buttons. The LED should remain flashing for 10 seconds. Then, press and hold the button that works the gates. The LED should now be steadily lit.
3. Keeping the button held down, pick up the new transmitter and touch the two together (LED to LED) (see fig 2).
4. STILL keeping the working transmitter button held down, also press and hold the same button down on the NEW transmitter as well.
5. Now you're holding down the same button on each transmitter. The LED on the NEW transmitter should flash twice and go out.
6. Let go of the button on the NEW transmitter.
7. Now let go of the button on the WORKING transmitter.
8. Point the NEW transmitter at the gates and press and hold down the button you have just coded for approximately 2 seconds. Nothing will happen.
9. Let go and then press and hold it again. Your transmitter should log on to the decoder (which is what the transmitters talk to, in order to operate the gate/door) and start to work.
10. Repeat steps 1 to 9 for any other new transmitters you have.
