The Genetix Remote Handheld User Interface is a device that allows you to completely interact with your Genetix controlled Feeder or Scale in a wireless manner. It is intended to provide you a means to temporarily control your feeder for calibration, maintenance, or diagnostic purposes in the absence of a locally mounted, wired User Interface.
The Genetix Remote Handheld User Interface is used to interface with the Merrick Genetix Core Module (“GCM”) and provide the user a means to operate the connected feeder, usually in a temporary manner. To insure personnel safety please read the following instructions and precautions carefully.
Technical Support Merrick provides customer technical and spare part support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our normal business hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM until 4:30 PM Central Time. During normal hours call 1-888 MERRICK (637-7425) and ask for service.

This is done with a typical Bluetooth “discovery” process and will therefore see any Bluetooth radios in the immediate area that have their visibility property turned on.
Remote User Interface. However, if the feeder name is changed, the Bluetooth name does not automatically change with it. You must cycle the power on the GCM (Genetix Core Module) that is connected to the feeder to set the Bluetooth name to be the same.
