Pairing Fobs You will need to have access to the module connectors or a OEM switch to pair fobs. To understand pin names and functions please reference Chapter 4: Module Operation and Features (41337-01). There may be a push button attached to J13P2, if it is not supplied, short J13P2 (learn pin) to J11P1 (12Volt pin) when it say’s “push button”.

freeze and fail due to expansion of internal plastic components. Simply replacing the battery allows the fob to function normally. At extreme hot temperatures, the battery’s chemical process is accelerated. This may result in a reduced life expectancy of the battery. Normal fob range performance can be expected at higher temperatures if manufacturer limits are not exceeded.

Teaching Keypad New Authority / Entry Codes All codes are exactly 5 digits. You may reuse numbers. Changing the Authority Code erases all Entry Codes. It is highly recommended that you change your Authority Code from the default authority code. Preparation for Programming the Authority Code Note: There is a video of how to do this (it will not play on Apple tablets).

LF Antenna Guidelines TriMark e-ASK LF antennas are designed to be spaced off any metallic surfaces. Mounting the antenna to a metal surface without space will result in the antenna’s transmitted signal to be absorbed and fob detection range will be reduced to a few inches. The suggested distance from the metal surface is 3/8”...
