Setting the Transmitter Address
The Keyfob allows the selection of one
of 1,022 unique addresses. All keyfobs
are supplied set to the same address.
The address can be changed to avoid
contention with other units or to create
unique relationships. This is accomplished
by cutting the traces. The traces are
accessed by removing the rear cover.
If the trace is intact, the address line is
connected to ground, otherwise it is floating. The receiver’s address must
match exactly in order for the units to communicate. Application Note
AN-00300 describes in detail how to set the address to match any of the
receivers offered by Linx. This note can be found in the Support section of
the Linx website, www.linxtechnologies.com.
Button Assignments
The Keyfob is available in five button configurations. Those configurations
and the corresponding switch numbers are shown in Figure 6. The table
shows which encoder data line has been assigned to each switch. When a
button is pressed, the data line goes high, causing the corresponding data
line on the decoder to go high if the address has been learned.

Contention Considerations
It is important to understand that only one transmitter at a time can be
activated within a reception area. While the transmitted signal consists
of encoded digital data, only one carrier of any particular frequency can
occupy airspace without contention at any given time. If two transmitters
are activated in the same area at the same time, then the signals will
interfere with each other and the decoder will not see a valid transmission,
so it will not take any action.
Battery Replacement
The transmitter utilizes a standard CR2032 lithium
button cell. In normal use, it provides 1 to 2 years of
operation. Access for replacement is accomplished
by gently prying apart the two halves of the Keyfob at
the seam (fingernails or a coin will do). Once the unit is
open, remove the battery by sliding it out from beneath
the retainer.
There may be the risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced by the wrong type. Replace it with the same
type of battery while observing the polarity shown in
Figure 7.

Note: Leaving all of the traces intact or all of them cut are not valid
addresses. At least one trace must be different from the rest.
