5. Tatūnga me te Tāuta
5.1 Tāuta Pūhiko
- Carefully open the battery compartment cover on the back of the code switch.
- Insert the two 1.5V LR03/AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Katia kia mau te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko.
5.2 Mounting the Code Switch
The FCT3-1 BS is designed for surface mounting. Choose a location that is easily accessible, protected from direct heavy rain (though IP44 rated), and within effective range of your gate operator.
- Mark the desired mounting position on the wall or surface.
- Drill appropriate holes for the mounting screws (screws and wall plugs are typically not included and should be selected based on the mounting surface).
- Secure the code switch to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.

Whakaahua 1: Hormann FCT3-1 BS Wireless Code Switch. This image shows the Hormann FCT3-1 BS Wireless Code Switch. It features a square, light grey housing with a circular keypad in the center. The keypad includes numerical buttons from 0 to 9, a light/bell symbol button, and a key symbol button. The 'Hormann' logo is visible at the bottom of the device.
5.3 Programming with Gate Operator
The FCT3-1 BS must be programmed to your specific Hormann gate operator(s). The exact programming procedure varies depending on your gate operator model. Refer to the instruction manual of your Hormann gate operator for detailed steps on how to pair a new wireless code switch. Generally, this involves:
- Activating the programming mode on your gate operator.
- Entering a desired code on the FCT3-1 BS keypad.
- Confirming the code and transmitting the signal to the operator.
- Testing the functionality.
The FCT3-1 BS supports controlling up to three different gate operators or functions. Each operator/function will require its own unique code and programming sequence.
6. Operating the Code Switch
6.1 Te Whakauru i tētahi Waehere
To operate a programmed gate operator:
- Press the numerical keys to enter your pre-programmed code.
- After entering the full code, press the key symbol button (bottom right) to transmit the signal.
- The gate operator should respond according to its programming (e.g., open, close, stop).
6.2 Keypad Illumination
The keypad features illumination for use in low-light conditions. The illumination activates automatically upon pressing any key. It will remain lit for a short period after the last key press.
Ko te light/bell symbol button (bottom left) can be used to activate the illumination without sending a command, or if programmed, to trigger a specific function on your gate operator (e.g., turn on an external light, ring a bell, if supported by your operator).
7. Tiaki
7.1 Whakakapinga Pūhiko
When the batteries are low, the keypad illumination may dim or the transmission range may decrease. Replace the batteries as follows:
- Whakatuwheratia te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko kei muri o te taputapu.
- Remove the old 1.5V LR03/AAA batteries.
- Insert new 1.5V LR03/AAA batteries, observing correct polarity.
- Katia kia mau te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko.
Tuhipoka: Makahia nga pākahiko kua whakamahia kia rite ki nga ture a rohe.
7.2 Te horoi
Clean the surface of the code switch with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the housing finish.
7.3 Te tirotiro
Periodically inspect the device for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the housing or loose mounting. Ensure the keypad buttons function correctly.
8. Te Raru
| Raruraru | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad does not light up or respond. | Nga pākahiko kua mate, kua he ranei te whakaurunga. | Whakakapihia nga pākahiko, kia tika te polarity. |
| Gate operator does not respond to code. | Incorrect code entered; Code switch not programmed to operator; Operator out of range; Signal interference. | Verify the code; Re-program the code switch to the operator (refer to operator manual); Move closer to the operator; Check for sources of interference. |
| Te whānuitanga mahi kua whakaitihia. | Low batteries; Obstructions between code switch and operator; Signal interference. | Replace batteries; Ensure clear line of sight; Identify and remove sources of interference. |
