5. I-Chip
I-CHIP functioned in a way that is very similar to a SIM card inside a mobile phone, which stores
information such as your phone number, account number, phone book and other settings. I-CHIP
works exactly the same way, as it stores information such as system serial number/ID code, channel
and push button configurations.
When replacing a transmitter handset, just take the I-CHIP out of the old transmitter and install it into
the new one (refer to Fig. 11 below). The new transmitter handset will then operate according to the
information stored in the I-CHIP unless the settings on both Channel and Function dip-switch are
changed thereafter. Basically the microprocessor will operate according to the last setting change
either on I-CHIP or the dip-switches.
For safety purposes, system serial number/ID code stored inside the I-CHIP can not be changed
directly on the transmitter encoder board. Only channels and push button configurations can be
changed directly on the encoder board via Channel and Function dip-switches. There are only two
ways that you can change transmitter serial number/ID code; 1) via I-CHIP programming port located
on the decoder module inside the receiver unit, please refer to page 23 on how to program the I-CHIP
(serial number/ID code) via receiver unit; 2) via an external I-CHIP programmer or duplicator unit
available from the factory. Please ask your local dealers for assistance if your system requires serial
number/ID code adjustments.
