CODE-HOPING
REMOTE
CONTROLS
The NOVA system incorporates code-hopping technology (Keeloq encryption) to offer the ultimate security in a remote control.
CENTURION SYSTEMS manufactures a range of different receivers that operate with its NOVA transmitters:
Single channel NOVA receiver
Multichannel NOVA receiver
NOVA VOYAGER receiver
SUPA NOVA multi-user receiver
Onboard NOVA receivers that are incorporated into the following products:
VECTOR2 swing gate operator
D5-Evo sliding gate operator
D10 sliding gate operator
SECTOR traffic barrier
G2 intercom system
XTrac garage door operator
It is NOT necessary to open this transmitter to code the unit as it already has a unique code.
To make this unit functional, the NOVA receiver unit must memorize the NOVA remote transmitter’s unique code as described in the following procedures.
Please note that each button of a multi-button transmitter transmits its own unique code and the receivers referred to above, are limited in the number of transmitter codes that can be learned. This is often referred to as “self-learning” memory capacity. Refer to the respective receiver for more details.
If you need to learn the transmitter into the SUPA
NOVA multi-user receiver or an onboard receiver, please refer to the installation manual of the product, or visit www.centsys.co.za to view or download a copy. The instructions are often mentioned under the
“controller features”, or the programming sections of these installation manuals.

Look for a RELAY on the board to confirm single channel Rx
Receiver may be mounted loose or in protective housing, internal or external to the operator
Learning the transmitter(s) for pulsed operation:
1. Open the receiver unit, and with power on, bridge the learn/J1 pins with the jumper provided.
2. The red LED will now illuminate.
3. Press the required button on the NOVA transmitter. The red LED will flash once, indicating that the transmitter button has been
learned.
If you need to learn further buttons or ` transmitters, repeat the procedure as in Step 3.
4. Once the LED has confirmed that the transmitter button has been learned, remove the jumper from the learn/J1 pins and store on one of the pins.
5. Your transmitter will now activate the receiver, and your system is ready for use.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: When learning a transmitter into a multichannel NOVA receiver, the transmitter button can only be learned if the button number matches the channel number of the receiver, i.e. button one of a transmitter (single or multi-button) can only be learned to operate channel one of a receiver.
Similarly button two of a multi-button transmitter can only be learned to operate channel two of a receiver, etc.

Make certain that there is NO relay on the board to confirm type of Rx
Learning/Creating the master transmitter
(applicable to new or erased* units)
:
1. Open the receiver unit. Ensure that the jumper is not bridging J1 or J2. Store the jumper on one of the pins.
2. The first transmitter that is learned into the NOVA
VOYAGER receiver (with a completely clear or erased memory) becomes the master transmitter.
With the NOVA VOYAGER plugged into or connected to the motherboard of the operator, press and hold any NOVA transmitter button down for at least five seconds.
3. The red LED will now illuminate.
4. The operator is triggered, indicating that the transmitter button has been learned.
5. This transmitter is now the master transmitter. Mark the transmitter clearly as “master transmitter” as it will be required whenever new transmitters are to be added to the receiver’s memory.

Learning additional transmitter buttons:
1. Press any button on the master transmitter for at least ten flashes of the red LED. If the receiver is not visible, count at least ten seconds. After at least ten seconds, release the master transmitter button
(The receiver will not enter learn mode if this button is pressed for more than twenty seconds).
2. The receiver is now in learn mode, and will remain so for ten seconds. The red LED will remain on during this time
3. Press the required button on the NOVA transmitter during this time and it will be learned into the
NOVA VOYAGER’s memory. Each time a button is pressed, the learn time is extended for another ten seconds.
4. Ten seconds after the last transmitter button has been pressed, the red LED will turn off, indicating that the NOVA VOYAGER receiver has exited learn mode.
*Erasing the NOVA VOYAGER receiver memory
1. Bridge pins J1 or J2 with the jumper provided.
2. The red LED will flash eleven times. Removing the jumper during this time will cancel the erase operation.
3. After eleven flashes, the red LED will remain on.
4. Remove the jumper to completely erase* the receiver memory.
Procedure to create a new master transmitter
(if the existing master transmitter is mislaid) :
1. The master transmitter can be identified by looking at the red LED when pressing any transmitter button on the master transmitter. The red LED will give one long flash, followed by one short flash to indicate a master transmitter.
2. If the master transmitter is lost, the only way to add more transmitters is to first erase the receiver’s memory, and then learn in a new master transmitter. Unfortunately, all existing buttons will need to be re-learned.
