Use the Joystick/Paddle to increase/decrease the value and toggle to the START position when finished. If the password is entered correctly, the device will enter Setup Mode. If it is entered incorrectly, the device will power down.

NOTE: The factory default password to get into the setup menu is 0000.

4.2 ADJUSTING SETTINGS IN SETUP MODE

To navigate through Setup Mode, the Joystick/Paddle designated (MTN 1) and OFF-ON-START switch are used. The Joystick/Paddle cycles through the menus and is also used to change parameters within the menus. Pushing the OFF-ON-START switch to the START position will toggle between the menu and its parameter(s). When adjusting larger values, the speed is dependent on how far the Joystick/Paddle is depressed.

NOTE: No parameter changes will take effect until the user has selected ‘Save and Exit’ from the

Setup Mode.

The Access Code determines which receiver will be controlled by the transmitter.

The Access Code in the XLTX transmitter must match the receiver Access Code or DIP switches.

If the Access Codes settings on the receiver and transmitter do not match, no communication will occur.

The Access Code is a 20-bit binary value with a decimal equivalent of 0 - 1048575. It will be displayed as binary or decimal depending on the application.

The Channel Select setting determines the frequency on which the XLTX is operating.

The user can select channels 1 through 32, which correspond to the frequencies in Sections 6.2 and 6.3.

The User Code setting is a unique identifier that allows the user to select multiple modes when using the same channel. The receiver can be tuned to only ‘hear’ messages sent from a transmitter with the same user code.

This setting controls the amount of time that the transmitter can be inactive before it automatically shuts off.

The Timeout time can be set from 1 to 60 minutes.

When the unit times out, the transmitter will turn off.

Setting Timeout to 0 disables transmitter timeout.

WARNING

DO NOT ASSUME THE POWER IS OFF IN THE RECEIVER BECAUSE THE

TRANSMITTER IS TURNED OFF. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD

RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

Timeout

Backlight timeout setting controls the amount of time that the backlight will stay on after a command is pressed before it automatically shuts off.

Backlight Timeout can be set from 1 to 30 seconds.

Setting Time-Out to 0 disables the backlight.

NOTE: Leaving the backlight on longer will decrease the battery run time and will require more frequent battery replacement (or recharges for optional rechargeable battery packs).

This setting enables or disables the requirement of entering a password into the transmitter to enter setup mode.

When the disabled setting is selected the user will go directly into setup mode without being prompted to enter a password.
