INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK Prior to utilizing the Mini-MBT transmitter, the battery pack must be installed. 3.1.1 Alkaline Battery Pack (BT151-0) The Mini-MBT comes standard with a battery pack (BT151-0) that holds four disposable AA alkaline batteries. Figure 2: BT151-0 Battery Pack To change the alkaline batteries in the battery pack, unscrew the four screws holding the battery pack in the transmitter.
3.1.2 Optional NiMH Rechargeable Battery Pack (BT150-0) The rechargeable battery pack BT150-0 is a sealed pack that has no user-serviceable components within Figure 4: BT150-0 Battery Pack The rechargeable battery pack BT150-0 is shipped from the factory with a minimal charge and will need to be charged prior to use for the first time with the specified charger.
3.2.1 Machine Stop and START Push Button 1. Ensure the Machine Stop is in the raised (pulled out) position. 2. After the unit has initialized (refer to Sections 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 for initialization), press the START push button to enable communication with the receiver. 3.2.2 Machine Stop and ON-OFF-START Toggle 1.
3.2.5 Transmitter Initialization (with Optional Graphic User Interface Screen) Upon turning the transmitter on, the LCD screen turns on and the unit will perform a routine initialization. During initialization, the Mini-MBT scans for any switches or motions that may be on during power up. If any switches or motions are on, the failure will be shown on the display, and the Mini-MBT will power itself down.
NORMAL OPERATING MODE WITH STANDARD LEDS 3.6.1 Watch Dog Indicator (Steady Blinking Status LED) The blinking LED represents the watch dog timer within the CPU of the unit. NOTE: The LED should be continuously blinking at all times. If the LED is not blinking the transmitter will need to be rebooted to operate properly.
3.7.2 Command Confirmation Each time the user operates a control on the transmitter, a message will be displayed on the graphic user interface screen confirming what is being operated. 3.7.3 Battery Life Indicator Remaining battery life is displayed on the bottom of the graphic user interface screen. Battery life is displayed in 10% increments.
4. TRANSMITTER SETUP The transmitter may have settings changed one of three ways. The RF channel and access code can be programmed using the IR configuration link with a compatible receiver. All other settings can only be changed at the factory or with the optional RCP software. For units with the optional graphic user interface, the Setup Mode can be used to edit configuration settings such as: Access Code, Channel Select, User Code, Transmitter Time Out, Backlight Time Out, Password Enable, Change Password, and more.
If the link is unsuccessful with a compatible receiver, the Status/Battery LED will continue to blink. To cancel the IR configuration receiver without a successful link, move the OFF-ON-START toggle to the OFF position. USING THE TRANSMITTER IN SETUP MODE (WITH OPTIONAL GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE) NOTE: The Setup Mode is only accessed on transmitters equipped with the optional graphic user interface.
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. 4.2.2.2 Channel Select The Channel Select setting determines the frequency that the Mini-MBT is operating on. The user can select channels which correspond to the frequencies in Section 6.

When the disabled setting is selected the user will go directly into Setup Mode without being prompted to enter a password. Magnetek strongly recommends enabling the Setup Mode password setting to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to parameters. NOTE: The unit is shipped with the password requirement enabled and utilizing the factory default password.

position and release. The graphic user interface will display “Attempting” with a countdown of the time while scanning for the receiver’s IR signal. If the receiver is in range and IR link is made, the message will change to “Success”. The transmitter and receiver should be within one foot of each other to ensure successful exchange of information via IR.
5. OPTIONAL PROGRAMMING WITH RCP Using the optional RCP software makes programming of the Mini-MBT easier and allows for settings to be saved for future reference. WARNING THE USE OF RCP (RADIO CONTROL PROGRAMMER) IS INTENDED FOR USE BY AUTHORIZED PERSONS ONLY.
