Learning Procedure for
Rhino PTX Remote Control
A. Introduction
The Rhino new PTX PC technology remote control can duplicate most of the fixed code remote controls. This
means that each time the remote control is pressed, the same code is transmitted each time. It is not possible
to copy any remote that utilises code hopping or anti-code grabbing technology. This is because these types
of remotes send a different code each time the remote is pressed.
B. Description & Functional
➢ There are 4 buttons on the PTX, and each button corresponds to a channel.
➢ Buttons from Top Down (counting down from the Light of the PTX).
➢ Please note: Button 1 will be used to "enter program" mode when duplicating code.
C. Adjust the frequency and duplicate channel 2 (button 2) first (easily in progress)
1. Remove the jumper lid from the jumper slot on the PTX.
2. Place the PTX and the original remote facing each other on a flat, non-metallic surface.
3. Press buttons 1 and 2 on the PTX together at the same time, the light on the PTX should flash 4
times.
4. Release button 1 while continuing to hold button 2 on the PTX.
5. Press and hold button 2 on the original remote and observe if the light on the PTX flashes.
* If the PTX light does not flash, adjust the frequency on the PTX by tuning the tune-cap until the
PTX light flashes 3 times, indicating that the PTX has matched the frequency of the original
remote.
6. Continue holding down button 2 on both the PTX and the original remote. Slowly slide the
original remote away from the PTX to increase the distance between them while adjusting the
frequency until the PTX light reaches maximum brightness when the remotes are 30mm apart.
7. Channel 2 of the PTX (button 2) has now successfully duplicated the code from the original
remote.
8. Identify the frequency tuning capacitor (FTC). Refer to figure shown below.
9. Replace jumper lid and test. If the remote still does not work, try another frequency range by
changing the configuration of jumper slots.
10. Once successful, operating range can be maximised by moving to the furthest distance where
the PTX functions. Take two steps backwards and minutely adjust the FTC until the alarm arms
again. Repeat this procedure until maximum range is achieved.
