I-Chip - Magnetek Enrange Flex EX Instruction Manual

6. I-CHIP

The I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to a SIM card inside a mobile phone, which
stores system information such as your telephone number, account number, phone book and
other settings. The I-CHIP works exactly the same way, as it stores information such as system
serial number/ID codes, channel configurations and push button configurations.
When replacing a transmitter handset, just take the I-CHIP out of the old transmitter and
install it into the new one (refer to Fig. 11 below). For a complete information transfer, make
sure both the Channel and Function dip-switches are set to all "1". If both dip-switches are
set to all "1", then the transmitter will operate according to the push button configurations and
channel stored inside the I-CHIP. If both the Channel and the Function dip-switches are set
to values other than all "1", then the transmitter will operate according to the channel and
push button configurations set on these two dip-switches, not the ones stored inside the I-
CHIP. Every time the settings on these two dip-switches are changed, the new settings will
be stored into the I-CHIP automatically. In this case the previous channel and push button
configurations stored inside the I-CHIP will be erased and be replaced by the new settings.
For safety purposes, the system serial number/ID code stored inside the I-CHIP can not be
changed directly on the transmitter encoder board. Only channels and push button
configurations can be changed directly on the encoder board via Channel and Function dip-
switches. There are only two ways that you can change transmitter serial number/ID codes: 1)
via the I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module inside the receiver unit
(please refer to page 25 on how to program the I-CHIP [serial number/ID code]` via receiver
unit) or 2) via an external I-CHIP programmer or duplicator unit available from the factory.
Please ask your local dealer for assistance if your system requires serial number/ID code
adjustments.
