access the station numbers above your sta-
tion count. Likewise, perhaps you own a
12-station Pro-C controller, so in this case
you will want to access the stations above
9. The SRR Transmitter allows you to set
the maximum station number as follows:
1. If the unit is OFF (no display), power
the Transmitter up by pressing any of
the buttons for at least 1 second then
releasing the button. The Transmitter
will rst illuminate the entire display
for 1 second then display the active
station.
2. Simultaneously press the and but-
tons, until the word “RUN TIME”
along with the current Run Time is
displayed. The display will be blinking
at this point.
3. While the display is blinking and
showing the current address, press
the “ON” button. The display will
continue to blink, but the word
“ADDRESS” will be illuminated.
4. Press the “ON” button again. The dis-
play will continue to blink, but the
word “ADDRESS” will no longer be
illuminated.
5. Use the or buttons to change the
maximum station number to the value
you desire. Then, do not press any but-
tons for 5 seconds and the display will
stop blinking and return to the active
station number.
6. You may now change the active setting
to the new maximum station value.
Maximizing Operating Range
There are many factors which inuence
operating range. Listed below are a few
things you can do to assure you are getting
the maximum range possible.
1. Do not install the outlet of the wiring
harness (that the Receiver connects
to) near large sources of metal such
as power meters, water pipes, and
aluminum siding.
2. Do not install the outlet of the wiring
harness in a basement or underground
location. The higher, the better.
3. For maximum range in all directions
from the Receiver, the Receiver
antenna should be pointed straight up
(vertically). If the Receiver is mounted
with its antenna oriented horizontally,
reception will be very good if the
Transmitter is on either side of the
antenna, but very poor if it is facing the
end of the Receiver antenna.
4. When operating the Transmitter, hold
the Transmitter as vertical as possible
and turn and face the direction of the
Receiver, even if it is several hundred
feet away.
A Word About Range…
There are many claims being made about
the range of various remote control sys-
tems, whether they be for auto alarms,
garage doors, or irrigation systems for that
matter. The published range for the SRR
System is up to 450 feet. Most users will
achieve this range or more, but a few may
not. It is the attempt of this section to edu-
cate the user about those factors that inu-
ence operating range. We believe that we
have achieved the maximum performance
available on this frequency.
Here’s why…
The range of any remote control system is
dependent on many factors. These include
theterrain at a particular site, obstructions
such as buildings and walls, the strength
of the various interfering signals, the sen-
sitivity of the Receiver, the ability of the
Receiver to reject “unwanted” signals, and
the strength of the Transmitter. Since it is
impossible to control the obstructions, ter-
rain at a site, and the strength of interfer-
ing signals, it is impossible to guarantee an
