Using the Master Development System
Using the Master Development System is straightforward. After unpacking
the board, screw the antenna onto the connector, install the supplied
9V battery, and turn on the power switch. The encoder and decoder are
configured at the factory and work straight out of the box. To create a new
address, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold the CREATE_ADDR button on the transmitter to create
a new Code Word. This is done by sticking a paper clip through the
hole on the back of the case and pressing the button inside. The
Address is randomized for as long as the button is held down. Once
comfortable that the number is sufficiently random, release the button.
2. Once the button is released, the MODE_IND LED begins to flash to
indicate that it is ready to accept Control Permissions. Press all of the
data line buttons that are to be recognized, then press the CREATE_
ADDR button again or let it time out after seventeen seconds.
3. Press the LEARN button on the decoder board and the MODE_IND
LED starts flashing. Press any of the data line buttons on the
transmitter and press the LEARN button again. The encoder’s Address
has now been learned by the decoder and they will operate together.
Troubleshooting
If the boards fail to work out of the box, then try the following:
• Check the battery to make sure it is not dead.
• Make sure the baud rate switches are set to 9,600bps on the decoder
board.
• Make sure that the antenna is connected.
• Check to see if the PDN switch is on, placing the decoder into Power
Down Mode. In most cases, the encoder PDN switch should be on.
• Make sure that you set your Control Permissions correctly. If you have
not set the encoder to use a particular line, then when you press a
button on the encoder board, the MODE_IND LED on the decoder
board lights up, but the data line LED does not light up.
If all of these appear to be in order, then call +1 800 736 6677 or e-mail
