Beninca TO.GO Series, Happy Series Manual

ADVANCED ROLLING-CODE (ARC) 128 BIT

The introduction of the new rolling-code encoding at 128 bit ARC brings the safety of Benincà radio system to a higher level. ARC logo affixed to product packaging ensures compatibility of the receiver to the new standard:

The memorization of new ARC transmitters is very similar to that of normal Rolling Code transmitters with HCS* code, but you should note the following:
ARC and HCS Rolling Code transmitters cannot be saved on the same receiver simultaneously, since the two types of encoding are not compatible with each other.
The first transmitter saved determines the type of transmitters to use later.
If the first transmitter saved is the ARC, you will not be able to save HCS Rolling Code transmitters, and vice versa.
Fixe-code transmitters may only be used in combination with HCS Rolling Code transmitters, bringing the logic (or the dip/switch) CVAR to OFF. Therefore, they cannot be used in conjunction with ARC transmitters. If the first Rolling Code transmitter stored is an ARC, the CVAR logic has no effect.
If you want to change the type of transmitter you must a reset the receiver (as shown in the user's manual of the device).
* HCS Rolling-Code transmitters are traditional Benincà Rolling Code transmitters normally used prior to the introduction of the ARC encoding.

THE RECEIVERS

The receivers compatible with the new TO.GO/HAPPY ARC transmitters are available in 4 versions:

External box receiver to apply to the inside of the controller container, if the controller is not provided with built-in receiver.
This type of receiver has a terminal board for the connection of the power supply, the radio antenna and two settable outputs. Being a 100% independent device, it can be used for any application requiring a radio control.
In this guide we will refer to the model ONE2WB (article code 9673103), a two-channel receiver that handles ARC, HCS and programmable codes

Plug-in receiver for controllers equipped with a quick molex connector.
This type of receiver, once inserted into the controller connector, works line a built-in receiver, receiving power and antenna signal from the controller, while the switch channels are handled by the controller. Programming is carried out using the button and the LED indicator on the receiver.
In this guide we will refer to the model ONE2WI (article code 9673102), a two-channel receiver that handles ARC, HCS and programmable codes

Built-in receiver, integrated into the controller, programmable via dip-switches/trimmers.
This type of controller features a programming button and a LED indicator that allows the user to set up the functions of the integrated receiver.
In this guide we will refer to the model CPJ3, the controller incorporated in the geared motors JM.3, the procedure is also similar to that of other controllers equipped with integrated receiver.

Built-in receiver, integrated into the controller, programmable via LCD display.
This type of controllers always has a radio menu through which you can perform all the operations for programming the integrated receiver. The radio menu also allows for the management of advanced features of each device.
In this guide we will refer to the model BRAINY, the procedure is, once again, similar to that of other controllers with LCD display

EEPROM

It is important to know that most Benincà receivers store transmitter codes in a special removable memory (EEPROM).
The picture to the side shows an EEPROM installed on a controller, in the instructions included with the device always show the position of the EEPROM.
Should you need to replace a controller or a receiver, you can remove the EEPROM from the old card and install it on the new one (as long as the devices are of the same model).
This will prevent having to store again all the transmitters, a very useful feature especially if a receiver is used by many users (condominiums, residences, communities).
There is also a special high-capacity EEPROM available (art. MEM 2048) able to store a large number of transmitters (2048) compared to standard EEPROM (that can store usually onyl 64 codes).

The radio menu also has other functions specific to the type of controller (pedestrian opening, second radio channel, separate open/close); refer to the instructions included with the device

TO.GO - ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

SELECTION OF THE TYPE OF ENCODING

(TO.GO/HAPPY VA)
VA series transmitters can operate in either HCS or ARC mode.
This allows you to use the transmitters on systems equipped with HCS receivers.
The transmitter comes with ARC mode factory setting.
To change the encoding type press simultaneously for 20 seconds the keys T1 and T2.
After a few seconds the LED will blink, indicating the mode that you are about to enable:
2 flashes and pause of 1 second, the transmitter is to be set up as HCS
3 flashes and pause of 1 second, the transmitter is to be set up as ARC when the LED turns on steadily lit, it means that the transmitter has changed the mode.

HIDDEN BUTTON ACTIVATION

Some advanced features require pressing the "Hidden Key".
In traditional transmitters, the hidden key is a button inside the container that must be pressed with a paper clip or a piece of wire.
In new transmitters TO.GO/HAPPY ARC, the "Hidden Key" can be accessed by pressing the keys T1 and T2 simultaneously for at least 3 seconds.
When the LED flashes, it means that the "Hidden Key" code was sent.
Attention: If the LED flashes before 3 seconds, it means that the keys were not pressed simultaneously and you did not send the "Hidden Key" code

REMOTE LEARNING

Remote learning allows you to enter a new transmitter in the receiver if you have a previously memorized transmitter, without having to access the receiver.
Therefore, you will quickly have a new transmitter that resembles the one originally stored. It is mandatory to operate within the reception range of the receiver.
The procedure is different depending on the device used. There are still two possible modes:

Remote Learning In Receivers One WB/WI

Proceed as follows:

• Press the hidden key of the transmitter saved, namely the simultaneous combination of T1 and T2 keys, for 3 seconds (the red LED on the transmitter flashes)
• Press within 5 seconds the key on the previously memorized transmitter corresponding to the channel to associate with the new transmitter.
• Within 5 seconds, press the key of the new transmitter to be associated with the selected channel.
• The receiver exits the programming mode, check the proper operation of the new transmitter saved.

The procedure can be summarized as follows:

• Hidden key of the currently active transmitter (T1 + T2 for 3s)
• Key of the transmitter already operative with the function to duplicate (within 5s)
• Key of the new transmitter (5s)

Notes:
Remote learning is only possible with ARC and HCS transmitter, and is not possible with programmable code transmitters.

Remote Learning In Receivers Built Into The Control Units

Proceed as follows:

• Press the hidden key of the transmitter saved (the red LED on the transmitter flashes)
• Press within 5 seconds the key on the previously memorized transmitter corresponding to the channel to associate with the new transmitter.
• Press the hidden key of the transmitter saved (the red LED on the transmitter flashes)
• Within 5 seconds, press the key of the new transmitter to be associated with the selected channel.
• The receiver exits the programming mode, check the proper operation of the new transmitter saved.

The procedure can be summarized as follows:

• Hidden key of the currently active transmitter (T1 + T2 for 3s)
• Key of the transmitter already operative with the function to duplicate (within 5s)
• Hidden key of the new transmitter (T1 + T2 for 3s)
• Key of the new transmitter (5s)

Notes:
Some controllers signal the various learning phases via the assistive or the flashing light.
Remote learning is only possible with ARC and HCS transmitter, and is not possible with programmable code transmitters.
For security reasons, remote learning is prevented during motor opening/closing.
In some cases, the procedure must be performed with the doors fully opened; consult the device's instructions..

TO.GO/HAPPY AK CLONEABLE

AK series transmitters can be programmed with the same code as a programmable transmitter or K or P series, already stored in a system, or to replace most fixed-code transmitters on the market with a simple and fast procedure without the need to access the receiver nor to open the remote control.
An important innovation featured by these new AK versions is the implementation of double-encoding, ARC or fixed: this transmitter can be used as a normal cloneable transmitter or as a real ARC transmitter with variable code. In fact, the AK radio control, if not used to clone a fixed code transmitter, sends the code by default with Advanced Rolling Code encoding. The only way to make it use the fixed-code is to program it starting from TO.GOWP or TO.GOWK.

Quick cloning

In quick cloning you get a transmitter that replicates exactly every single channel of the original transmitter in the new TO.GO/HAPPY AK; we recommend using a 2AK to clone a two-channel original transmitter and a 4AK to clone a four-channel transmitter.
Proceed as follows:

1. press and hold the key T1 of the new transmitter AK. When pressing T1, the LED lights up steadily, after 5 seconds it will begin to flash rapidly, after 15s to flash slowly.
2. after about 15s, put the original transmitter near the new transmitter as shown in the picture, and continue to hold the key T1 on the new remote control, and press any button on the original remote control.
3. if the procedure was completed successfully, the LED of the new transmitter AK will turn off. Release all the keys pressed.

All channels of the original TO.GO(HAPPY are replicated on the AK.
N.B.: Use for both remote controls batteries charged.
If after 15 sec. the red LED on the new transmitter is not off, release the buttons of the remote control and after 1 minute, repeat from step 1, being careful to place the original transmitter as shown in the picture.

Advanced cloning

In advanced cloning you can choose which channel of the original transmitter will be replicated on the AK. For example, you can replicate channel 3 of an old transmitter on channel 1 of a AK, which is not possible during quick cloning.
Proceed as follows:

1. on the new AK, press and hold the key of which you want to replicate the function of the original. When you press the button, the LED lights up steadily, after 5 seconds it will begin to flash rapidly.
2. after 5s, put the original transmitter near the new transmitter as shown in the picture, and continue to hold the key on the new remote control, and press the button of the original remote control whose code you intend to copy.
3. if the procedure was completed successfully, the LED of the new transmitter AK will turn off. Release all the keys pressed.

The channel chosen in the original TO.GO/HAPPY is now replicated in the new AK.
N.B.: Use for both remote controls batteries charged.
If after 30 sec. the red LED on the new transmitter is off, release the buttons of the remote control and repeat from step 1, being careful to place the original transmitter as shown in the picture.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If during normal operation, the LED flashes by pressing any button, the battery is low and needs to be replaced.
To replace the battery, open the battery lid using a screwdriver as shown in the picture, by lightly pressing on both slits. Replace the battery following the polarity, the symbol + is indicated in the printed circuit board.

Batteries are special waste and must be disposed of in compliance with the regulations in force.
