The POA1 control unit operates on the basis of a current sensitivity

system which checks the load of the motors connected up to it. The

system automatically detects travel stops, memorises the running

time of each motor and recognises obstacles during normal move-

ment (anti-crush safety feature).

This feature makes installation easier as there is no need to adjust

the working times nor the leaf delay.

The control unit is pre-programmed for the normal functions, while

more specific functions can be chosen following a simple procedure.

The most important components of the POA1 control unit have been

shown in Fig.1 in order to facilitate part identification.

2.1) Typical system layout

The typical system layout has been illustrated below in order to

explain certain terms and aspects of an automatic 2-leaf swing door

or gate system.

In particular, please note that:

• Refer to the product instructions for the characteristics and con-

nection of the photocells.

• The “PHOTO” pair of photocells have no effect on the gate during

opening, while they reverse movement during closing.

• The “PHOTO1” pair of photocells stops both the opening and

closing manoeuvres.

• The “PHOTO2” pair of photocells (connected to the suitably pro-

grammed AUX input) have no effect during closing while they invert

movement during opening.

2.2) Preliminary checks

Before starting any kind of work, ensure that all the material is suit-

able for installation and complies with legal requirements. As well as

checking all the points listed in the “Warnings for fitters” file, this sec-

tion also contains a specific check list for the POA1 control unit.

• The “mechanical stops” must both be able to stop the gate from

moving and easily absorb all the kinetic energy accumulated dur-

ing movement (if necessary, use the stops for POP motors).

• The power supply line must be protected by magneto-thermal and

differential switches and equipped with a disconnection device.

There must be over 3mm between the contacts.

• Power the control unit using a 3 x 1.5mm

2

cable. Install an earth

plate near the control unit if the distance between the control unit

and the earth connection is over 30m.

• Use wires with a minimum cross section of 0.25mm

2

to connect

extra-low voltage safety circuits.

• Use shielded wire if the length is over 30m and only connect the

earth braid on the control unit side. The cross-section of the con-

nection cable for the motor must be at least 1.5mm

2

.

• Do not connect cables in buried boxes even if they are complete-

ly watertight.

2.3) Electrical connections

Unplug the unit from all sources of electricity in order

to ensure the fitter is protected and to prevent compo-

nents being damaged during electrical or radio receiver

connection.

•With the exception of the photocell inputs when the PHOTOTEST

function is activated, if the inputs of the NC (Normally Closed) con-

tacts are not in use they should be jumped with the “COMMON”

terminal. Refer to paragraph 2.3.6 for further information.

• If there is more than one NC contact on the same input, they must

be connected in SERIES.

• If the inputs of the NO (Normally Open) contacts are not used they

should be left free.

• If there is more than one NO contact on the same input, they must

be connected in PARALLEL.

•The contacts must be mechanical and potential-free. Stage con-

nections, such as those defined as "PNP", "NPN", "Open

Collector", etc. are not allowed.

• If the leafs overlap, use jumper E (Figure 1) to select which motor

starts up first during opening. M1 has an incorporated control unit,

M2 does not.

PARTIAL OPEN TYPE 2 NO Opens the two leaf half way

OPEN NO Only carries out the opening manoeuvre

CLOSE NO Only carries out the closing manoeuvre

PHOTO 2 NC PHOTO 2 function

DISABLED - - No function

Unless otherwise programmed, the AUX input performs the Partial Open TYPE 1 function

Most connections are extremely simple and many of them are direct

connections to a single user point or contact.

The following figures show examples of how to connect external

devices.

Connection for Gate Open Indicator/Electric lock

If the gate open indicator has been programmed, the output can be

used as an open gate indicator light. It flashes slowly during open-

ing, and quickly during closing. If it is on but does not flash, this indi-

cates that the gate is open. If the light is off, the gate is closed. If the

electric lock has been programmed, the output can be used as an

electric lock. The electric lock will activate for 3 seconds each time

opening begins.

The POA1 control unit can be programmed for two types of STOP

input:

- NC type STOP for connecting up to NC type contacts

- Constant resistance STOP: it enables the user to connect up to the

control unit of devices with 8.2kΩ constant resistance (e.g. sensi-

tive edges). The input measures the value of the resistance and

disables the manoeuvre when the resistance is outside the nomi-

nal value. Devices with normally open “NO” or normally closed

“NC” contacts, or multiple devices, even of different types, can be

connected to the constant resistance STOP input, provided that

appropriate adjustments are made. For this purpose, refer to the

following the table:

Note 1. Any number of NO devices can be connected to each oth-

er in parallel, with an 8.2KΩ termination resistance (Figure 4).

Note 2. The NO and NC combination can be obtained by placing

the two contacts in parallel, and placing an 8.2KΩ resistance in

series with the NC contact. It is, therefore, possible to combine 3

devices: NO, NC and 8.2KΩ).(Figure 5)

Note 3. Any number of NC devices can be connected in series to

each other and to an 8.2KΩ resistance (Figure 6).

Note 4. Only one device with an 8.2KΩ constant resistance output

can be connected; multiple devices must be connected “in cascade”

with a single 8.2KΩ termination resistance (Figure 7)

If the constant resistance STOP input is used to con-

nect devices with safety functions, only the devices with

8.2KΩ constant will resistance output guarantee the fail-

safe category 3.

2.3.6) Examples of photocell connections with

the phototest function.

The programmable PHOTO-TEST function is a feature on the POA1

control unit (this function is not activated initially). This is an excellent

solution as regards the reliability of safety devices and places the

control unit and safety devices in “Category 2” of UNI EN 954-1

standard (ed. 12/1998). The safety devices are checked whenever a

manoeuvre is started, and will only begin if everything is in order.

This is only possible using a special configuration of the safety device

connections. The “TX” photocell transmitters are basically powered

separately from the “RX” receivers.

When the phototest is activated, the FOTO, FOTO1 and FOTO2 inputs will

be subjected to testing. If one of these inputs is not being used, it must be

connected to terminal n°8. Please consult the following figures for examples

of connections.

2.3.7) Checking the connections

WARNING: The next operations involve work being car-

ried out on live circuits. Some parts have mains voltage

running through them and are therefore EXTREMELY DAN-

GEROUS! Pay maximum attention to what you are doing

and NEVER WORK ALONE!

The system can be checked once the connections for the automa-

tion have been made.

1. Power the control unit and check that all the LEDs flash rapidly for

a few seconds.

2. Check that there is a voltage of approximately 32Vdc on terminals

9-10. If not, unplug the unit immediately and carefully check the

connections and input voltage.

3. After initially flashing rapidly, the P1 LED will indicate the control

unit is working correctly by flashing regularly at 1 second intervals.

When there is a variation in the inputs, the “P1” led will rapidly flash

twice to show that the input has been recognised.

4. If the connections are correct, the LED for the “NC”-type inputs

will be on, while those for the “NO” type inputs must be off. Here

follows Figure 8 illustrating the LEDs on, and the summary table of

the various possible situations:

5. Check that the relative LEDs switch on and off when the devices

connected to the inputs are operated.

6. Check that by pressing P2 both motors perform a short opening

manoeuvre, and the motor of the upper leaf starts first. Block the

manoeuvre by pressing P2 again. If the motors do not start up for

opening, invert the polarities of the motor cables. If, however, the

first one to move is not the upper leaf, operate jumper E (see fig-

ure).

2.4) Automatic search system for the limit switches

On the successful completion of the various controls, start the auto-

matic search system phase for the limit switches. This work is nec-

essary as the POA1 control unit must “measure” how long the open-

ing and closing manoeuvres take.

This procedure is completely automatic and detects the mechanical

opening and closing stops by measuring the load on the motors.

If this procedure has already been carried out, in order to reactivate it, the

user must first delete the memory (see the “Memory deletion” chapter). In order

to check whether the memory contains any limit switch parameters, turn the

power supply to the control unit on and then off again. If all the LEDs flash rapid-

ly for approximately 6 seconds, the memory is empty. If, however, they only flash

for 3 seconds, the memory already contains some limit switch parameters.

• Before starting limit switch searching, make sure that all the safety

devices are enabled (STOP, PHOTO and PHOTO1).

The procedure will be immediately interrupted if a safety device trig-

gers or a command arrives.

• Ideally the doors should be half open, although they can be in any

position.

•Press the P2 button to begin searching, which runs as

follows:

- Both motors open briefly

- Motor closes the lower leaf until it reaches the mechanical closing

stop.

- The upper leaf motor closes until it reaches the mechanical clos-

ing stop.

- The motor of the upper leaf begins to open.

- After the programmed delay, opening of the lower leaf begins.

If the delay is insufficient, block the search by pressing P1, then

modify the time (see the “Programming” chapter).

- The control unit measures the movement required for the motors

to reach the opening mechanical stops.

-Complete closing manoeuvre. The motors can start at different

times, the aim is to prevent the leafs from shearing by maintaining

a suitable delay.

- End of the procedure with memorisation of all measurements.

All these phases must take place one after the other without any

interference from the operator. If the procedure does not continue

correctly, it must be interrupted with the P1 button.

Repeat the procedure, modifying some parameters if necessary, for

example the current sensitivity cut-in thresholds (see the

“Programming” chapter).

The automation system must be tested by qualified and

expert staff who must establish which tests to perform

depending on the relative risk.

Testing is the most important part of the whole installation phase. Each

single component, e.g. motors, radio receiver, emergency stop, photo-

cells and other safety devices, may require a specific test phase; please

follow the procedures shown in the respective instructions manuals.

Carry out the following procedure in order to test the POA1 control unit,

(the sequence refers to the POA1 control unit with pre-set functions).

• Make sure that the activation of the STEP-BY-STEP input generates

the following sequence of movements: Open, Stop, Close, Stop.

• Make sure that the activation of the AUX input (Type 1 partial open-

ing function) manages the Open, Stop, Close, Stop sequence of

the motor of the upper leaf only, while the motor of the lower leaf

remains in the closed position.

• Perform an opening manoeuvre and check that:

- the gate continues the opening manoeuvre when PHOTO is

engaged.

- the opening manoeuvre stops when PHOTO1 is engaged and only

continues when PHOTO1 is disengaged.

- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO2 (if installed) is engaged and

the closing manoeuvre starts.

•Make sure that the motor switches off when the door reaches the

mechanical stop.

• Perform a closing manoeuvre and check that:

- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO is engaged and the opening

manoeuvre starts.

- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO1 is engaged and the opening

manoeuvre starts when PHOTO1 is disengaged.

-

The gate continues the closing manoeuvre when PHOTO2 is engaged.

• Check that the stopping devices connected to the STOP input

immediately stop all movement.

• Check that the level of the obstacle detection system is suitable for

the application.

- During both the opening and the closing manoeuvres, prevent the

leaf from moving by placing an obstacle and check that the

manoeuvre inverts before exceeding the force set down by law.

• Other checks may be required depending on which devices are

connected to the inputs.

If an obstacle is detected as moving in the same direction for 2 consecu-

tive manoeuvres in the same direction, the control unit partially inverts both

motors for just 1 second. At the following command, the leafs begin the open-

ing manoeuvre and the first current sensitivity cut-in for each motor is consid-

ered as a stop during the opening cycle. The same happens when the mains

power supply is switched on: the first command is always an opening manoeu-

vre and the first obstacle is always considered as an open limit switch.

!

3) Testing

The diagnostics LED P2 indicates any problems or malfunctions

revealed by the control unit during the manoeuvre.

A sequence with a certain number of flashes indicates the type of

problem and remains active until the following manoeuvre begins.

The table below summarises this information:

Number Type of malfunction

Flashing P2 LED

1 M1 current sensitivity device triggering

2 M2 current sensitivity device triggering

3 STOP input cut-in during the manoeuvre.

4 Phototest error

5

Output overcurrent gate open indicator or electric lock

4) Diagnostics

The POA1 control unit features some programmable functions. After

the search phase these are pre-set in a typical configuration which

satisfies most automatic systems.

These functions can be changed at any time, both before and after

searching, by carrying out the relevant programming procedure (refer

to the “Programmable functions” chapter).

• Motor movement: : fast

• Automatic closing : active

• Condominium function : deactivated

•Pre-flashing : deactivated

• Close after photo : deactivated

• Opening delay : level 2 (10%)

• Phototest : deactivated

• Gate open indicator/Electric Lock : Gate open indicator

• STOP input : NC type

• Heavy gates : deactivated

•Proportional gate open indicator : deactivated

• Pause time : 20 seconds

• Auxiliary input : type 1 partial opening (only

the upper leaf motor is activated)

• Current sensitivity : Level 2

5) Pre-set functions

To ensure the system is best suited to the user’s requirements, and

safe in the various different conditions of use, the POA1 control unit

offers the possibility to programme several functions or parameters,

as well as the function of a number of inputs and outputs.

6) Programmable functions

6.1) Direct programming

• Slow/rapid movement

The user can choose the speed of movement of the gate, at any

time (with the motor arrested) simply by operating the P3 key at any

time the control unit is not being programmed. If LED L3 is off, this

shows that the slow movement has been set, if on the fast one has.

10

6.2) Level one programming, part one

• Automatic closing:

This function features an automatic closing cycle after the pro-

grammed pause time; the pause time is factory set to 20 seconds

but it can be modified to 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80 seconds.

If the function is not activated, the system will run “semi-automat-

ically”.

• “Condominium” function:

This function is useful when the automatic system is radio-com-

manded by many different people. If this function is active, each

command received triggers an opening manoeuvre that cannot be

interrupted by further commands. If the function has been deacti-

vated, a command causes: OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP

•Pre-flashing:

This function activates the flashing light before the manoeuvre

begins for a time that can be programmed to 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 sec-

onds. If the function is deactivated, the light will start flashing when

the manoeuvre starts.

• Close after photo:

During the automatic closing cycle, this function reduces the

pause time to 4 seconds after the PHOTO photocell has disen-

gaged, i.e. the gate closes 4 seconds after the user has passed

through it. If the function is deactivated, the whole programmed

pause time will pass.

• Opening delay

During opening, this function causes a delay in the activation of the

lower leaf motor compared with the upper one This is necessary in

order to prevent the leafs from getting stuck. There is always a

standard delay during closing, calculated automatically by the con-

trol unit in order to ensure the same delay as the one programmed

for opening.

• Phototest function

The POA1 control unit can also activate the phototest procedure.

The correct functioning of the photocells is checked every time a

manoeuvre starts. In order to be able to use this function, the pho-

tocells must be correctly connected up (refer to paragraph 2.3.6)

and the function then activated. If the function is deactivated, the

control unit will not carry out the photo-test.

• Open gate indicator light / electric lock

If the function is activated, terminals 6-7 can be used to connect

up the electric lock. If the function is deactivated, terminals 6-7 can

be used to connect up a 24V gate open indicator.

• NC Type or Constant Resistance STOP Input

If the function is activated, the STOP input is set to “8.2KΩ

Constant Resistance”. In this case, there must be a 8.2KΩ +/-25%

resistance between the common and the input to enable the oper-

ation.

If the function is not set, the configuration of the STOP input will

enable it to function with NC type contacts.

• Light/heavy gates

If the function is activated, the control unit enables the user to

manage heavy gates, setting the acceleration ramps and slow-

down speeds during closing differently.

If the function is deactivated, the control unit will be set to manage

light gates.

•Proportional Open Gate Indicator

If the function is activated, the gate open indicator output will be

set with the proportional flashing light. This means that during

opening, the flashing becomes more intense as the leafs come

nearer to the opening stops; vice-versa, for closing, the flashing

becomes less intense as the leafs come nearer to the closing

stops.

If the function is deactivated, the light will flash slowly during open-

ing and rapidly during closing.

6.3) Level one programming, part two

6.4) Level two functions

• Pause time

The pause time, namely the time which lapses between opening

and closing during automatic functioning, can be programmed to

5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 seconds.

• Auxiliary Input AUX

The control unit offers an auxiliary input which can be set to carry

out one of the following 6 functions:

-

Partial opening type 1: this carries out the same function as the

STEP-BY-STEP input. It causes only the upper leaf to open. It only

works if the gate is closed completely, otherwise the command is inter-

preted as if it were a STEP-BY-STEP command.

- Partial opening type 2: this carries out the same function as the

STEP-BY-STEP input. It causes the two leafs to open for half the

time it would take them to open completely. It only functions if the

gate is closed completely, otherwise the command is interpreted

as if it were a STEP-BY-STEP command.

- Open only: this input only causes opening in the Open- Stop-

Open-Stop sequence.

- Close only: this input only causes closing in the Close-Stop-

Close-Stop sequence.

- Photo 2: this carries out the function of the “PHOTO 2” safety

device.

- Disabled: the input will not carry out any function.

GB

•Pre-flashing time:

A manoeuvre warning sign can be activated on the flashing light

before each manoeuvre begins, and the time programmed to 1, 2,

4, 6, 8 and 10 seconds.

• Current sensitivity:

The control unit is equipped with a system which measures the

current absorbed by the two motors used to detect the mechani-

cal stops and any obstacles when the gate is moving. Since the

current absorbed depends on a number of conditions, including

the weight of the gate, friction, wind and variations in voltage, the

cut-in threshold can be changed.

There are 6 levels: 1 is the most sensitive (minimum force), 6 is the

least sensitive (maximum force).

If the “current sensitivity” function (together with oth-

er vital features) is adjusted correctly, the system will

comply with European standards, EN 12453 and EN

12445, which require techniques or devices to be used to

limit force and danger during the functioning of automat-

ic gates and doors are moved.

• Leaf delay:

The delay in starting up the motor of the lower leaf can be pro-

grammed to 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40% of the working time.

7.1) Programming methods

The P1, P2 and P3 buttons are used for all the programming phases, while the 5 Leds (L1, L2…L5) indicate the selected “parameter”.

There are two different programming levels:

• At level 1, the functions can be activated or deactivated. Each Led (L1, L2…L5) corresponds to a function: if the Led is on, the function is

active; if it is off, it is deactivated.

Level one consists in 2 parts which can be selected using the P3 button. The corresponding LED P3 indicates which of the 2 parts has been

selected.

• It is possible to pass to the second level from level one of part one. At this second level the user can choose the parameter relating to the

function. A different value corresponds to each LED which must be associated to the parameter.

All the functions described in the “Programmable functions” chapter

can be selected by means of a programming phase which terminates

by memorising the choices made.

The control unit therefore has a memory which stores the functions

and parameters relative to the automation process.

At level one, the functions can be activated or deactivated.

At level one, LED P1 is always on; if LEDs L1, L2…L5 are on, the

functions are activated; if the LEDs are off, the functions are deacti-

vated. A flashing LED indicates which function has been selected;

short flashes indicate the function has been deactivated; long flash-

es indicate the function has been activated. Press P3 to pass from

part one programming to part two programming, and vice-versa.

7.2) Memory deletion

Each new programme replaces the previous settings. It is usually

unnecessary to “delete all” the memory. If required, the memory can

be totally deleted by performing this simple operation:

As all the functions return to their pre-set values after

the memory is deleted, a new search for the mechanical

stops must be carried out.

• “RADIO” Card

The control unit has a connector for fitting a 4 channel radio card

complete with SM slot. This remote control device functions by

means of transmitters which act on the inputs as per the following

table:

Output Receiver Control unit input

N° 1 STEP-BY-STEP

N° 2 AUX (reset value: Partially Open 1)

N° 3 “Open only”

N° 4 “Only close”

• PS124 Buffer Battery

PS124 buffer batteries can be used to supply the control unit in

case of network blackouts.

8) Optional accessories

As the POA1 control unit is electronic it requires no particular mainte-

nance. However, at least every six months the efficiency of the entire

system must be checked according to the information described in

the “Testing” chapter.

9) POA1 control unit maintenance

This section will help fitters to solve some of the most common prob-

lems that may arise during installation.

No LEDs are on:

• Check whether the control unit is powered (measure a voltage of

about 32Vdc at terminals 9-10).

• Check the 2 fuses, if not even the P1 Led is on or flashing a seri-

ous fault has probably occurred and the control unit must there-

fore be replaced.

The P1 LED flashes regularly but the INPUT LED’s do not

reflect the state of the respective inputs.

• Switch the unit off for the moment in order to exit a possible pro-

gramming phase.

• Carefully check the connections on terminals 11 to 16.

The “Automatic search” procedure does not start up.

• The “Automatic search” procedure only starts if it has never been

performed before or if the memory has been deleted. To check

whether the memory is empty switch off the unit for a moment.

When it is switched on again, all the Leds should flash rapidly for

about 6 seconds. If they only flash for 3 seconds, the memory

already contains valid values. If a new “Automatic search” is

required, the memory must be completely deleted.

The “Automatic search” procedure has never been per-

formed but it either does not start or it behaves incorrectly

• The system and all the safety devices must be operative in order

to activate the “Automatic search” procedure.

• Make sure that no device connected to the inputs cuts in during

the “Automatic search” procedure.

• In order for the “Automatic search” procedure to start correctly,

the input Leds must be on as shown, the P1 Led must flash once

a second.

The “Automatic search” procedure was performed cor-

rectly but the manoeuvre does not start

• Check that the safety device (STOP, PHOTO, PHOTO1 and, if

installed, PHOTO2) Leds are on and that the relative command

Led (STEP-BY-STEP or AUX) remains on for the entire duration of

the command.

• If the “phototest” function is activated but the photocells do not

function correctly, the DIAGNOSTICS LED indicates the fault by

flashing four times.

The gate inverts the direction while moving

An inversion is caused by:

• The photocells triggering (PHOTO2 during the opening manoeu-

vre, PHOTO or PHOTO1 during the closing manoeuvre). In this

case, check the photocell connections and input LEDs.

• The current sensitivity device triggers while the motors are moving

(not near the mechanical stops, therefore). This is considered as

an obstacle and causes an inversion. To find out if the current sen-

sitivity device has triggered, count how many times the DIAG-

NOSTICS LED flashes: 1 flash indicates that the current sensitivi-

ty device triggered on account of motor M1, 2 flashes indicate that

this was caused by motor M2.

GB

SMXI, SMXIS and SMXIF are 4-channel radio receivers for control

units equipped with SM-type connector.

The peculiarity of compatible transmitters is that the identification

code is different for each transmitter. Therefore, in order to allow the

receiver to recognise a determined transmitter, the recognition code

must be memorised. This operation must repeated for each trans-

mitter required to communicate with the control unit.

Up to a maximum of 256 transmitters can be memorised in the receiver.

No one transmitter can be cancelled; all the codes must be deleted.

- For more advanced functions use the appropriate programming unit.

The receiver features 4 outputs, all available on the underlying con-

nector. To find out which function is performed by each output, see

the control unit’s instructions. During the transmitter code memori-

sation phase, one of these options may be chosen:

Mode I. Each transmitter button activates the corresponding output

in the receiver, that is, button 1 activates output 1, button 2 activates

output 2, and so on. In this case there is a single memorisation

phase for each transmitter; during this phase, it doesn’t matter

which button is pressed and just one memory sector is occupied.

Mode II. Each transmitter button can be associated with a particu-

lar output in the receiver, e.g., button 1 activates output 2, button 2

activates output 1, and so on. In this case, the transmitter must be

memorised, pressing the required button, for each output to acti-

vate. Naturally, each button can activate just one output while the

same output can be activated by more than one button. One mem-

ory section is occupied for each button.

Description of the product

Installing the aerial

The receiver requires an ABF or ABFKIT type aerial to work proper-

ly; without an aerial the range is limited to just a few metres. The aer-

ial must be installed as high as possible; if there are metal or rein-

forced concrete structures nearby you can install the aerial on top. If

the cable supplied with the aerial is too short, use a coaxial cable

with 50-Ohm impedance (e.g. low dispersion RG58), the cable must

be no longer than 10 m.

If the aerial is installed in a place that is not connected to earth

(masonry structures), the braid’s terminal can be earthed to provide

a larger range of action. The earth point must, of course, be local

and of good quality. If an ABF or ABFKIT aerial cannot be installed,

you can get quite good results using the length of wire supplied with

the receiver as the aerial, laying it flat.

Memorising a remote control

When the memorisation phase is activated, any trans-

mitter correctly recognised within the reception range of

the radio is memorised. Consider this aspect with care

and remove the aerial if necessary to reduce the capacity

of the receiver.

The procedures for memorising the remote controls must be per-

formed within a certain time limit; please read and understand the

whole procedure before starting. In order to carry out the following

procedure, it is necessary to use the button located on the box of

the radio receiver (reference A, Fig. 1b), and the corresponding LED

(reference B, Fig. 1b) to the left of the button.

Remote memorising

It is possible to enter a new transmitter in the receiver memory

without using the keypad. A previously memorised and operational

remote control must be available. The new transmitter will “inherit”

the characteristics of the previously memorised one. Therefore, if the

first transmitter is memorised in mode I, the new one will also be

memorised in mode I and any of the buttons of the transmitter can

be pressed. If the first transmitter is memorised in mode II the new

one will also be memorised in mode II but the button activating the

required output must be pressed on the first transmitter as must the

button required to be memorised on the second. You need to read

all the instructions in advance so you can perform the operations in

sequence without interruptions. Now, with the two remote controls

(the NEW one requiring code memorisation and the OLD one that is

already memorised), position yourself within the operating range of

the radio controls (within maximum range) and carry out the

instructions listed in the table.
