Pair Transmitter to Receiver:
The transmitter works with all ERA receivers. Basic programming calls for
the user to program a transmitter to the receiver & select a melody for the
receiver to play when triggered by the transmitter. In the example below,
the transmitter will be programmed to the ERA-RXPG plugin receiver. If
you are using a different ERA receiver, follow the programming
instructions for that receiver to put the receiver in programming mode &
to change the melody.
1. Ensure the ERA-RXPG is plugged into a standard wall outlet.
2. On the ERA-RXPG receiver, hold down the "mode" button (lower button
in figure 3) until you hear a short tone sound & the red LED (inside the
front lens cover) begins to blink. This denotes the unit is in
programming mode. Release this button.
3. Scroll through available melodies by pressing the melody selector
button. Stop pushing this button when you hear the sound you want
the respective push button to play.
4. Push the center push on the push button. The receiver will play a quick
chime sound notifying the transmitter is programmed to the receiver.
The red LED should still be blinking.
5. If you want to program a second transmitter (push button, door contact,
motion sensor, or driveway sensor) push the melody selector button
(the button on top) to scroll through available melodies. Once you have
(figure 1)
the sound you want, stop pressing the melody selector button and
repeat step 4 above, triggering the sensor/transmitter.
6. Once you have programmed all the transmitter(s), exit programming
mode by holding down the "mode" button until you hear a short tone
sound & the red LED disappears (approx 3 seconds).
Test the Programming of Transmitter to Receiver:
• Ensure the ERA-RXPG receiver is plugged in & the battery is installed
in the ERA-PBTX push button.
• Push the center button of the ERA-PBTX push button.
