Operating Mode-3

In Mode-3, the MKFOB is bound to an individual room to allow the

device to record and recall both Room and House scenes. This is

done so that multiple key fobs can be used in the wireless system

to control different areas within the home to perform localized

tasks.

First, set the MKFOB to Mode-3.
1. Start binding from the MKFOB: Simultaneously press and

hold button 1 and 2 until the LED starts flashing yellow

(approximately 2 seconds).

2. Press and hold MKFOB button 3 until the LED changes to

green then starts flashing yellow again (approximately 2

seconds).

3. End the binding from the MKFOB: Simultaneously press and

hold button 1 and 2 until the LED stops flashing yellow and

turns green (approximately 2 seconds).

Next, bind the MKFOB to the desired Room.
1. Go to the room controller device and initiate binding by

pressing the binding activation keys until its LED flashes

yellow (about 2 seconds). Binding is typically initiated by

simultaneously pressing and holding the top and bottom of a

paddle-operated device.

2. Press and release any button on the MKFOB to wake it up

and lock onto the binding operation.

If its LED flashes yellow, it is already bound to the room. You

can skip to step 3.

If it flashes green, it is not yet bound to the room.

Simultaneously press MKFOB buttons 1 and 2 until the LED

turns yellow (about 2 seconds) indicating that the MKFOB is

bound to the room.

3. Return to the same device used to initiate the binding and

end the binding by pressing the binding activation keys until

the device LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds).

When the MKFOB receives a close binding message (or no

binding message is heard for 4.5 seconds) the MKFOB goes

to sleep mode and the LED turns off.

OPERATION

When a MKFOB is added to a system its scene buttons execute

the same scenes as other house or room level scene controllers

to which it is bound. (Refer to the Operating Mode charts for

specific scenes recalled depending upon mode selected). To

revise a scene, record the scene from the room or house level

device to which the MKFOB is bound.

Lock Key Fob

Locking the MKFOB prevents it from being inadvertently reset to

factory defaults. Lock the key fob after scene configuration.
To Lock: Start a binding from the MKFOB (simultaneously press

and hold button 1 and 2 until the LED starts flashing yellow).

Press and hold buttons 1 and 3 until the LED blinks red.

Press and hold button 1 and 2 to terminate the process.

To Unlock: Start a binding from the MKFOB (simultaneously press

and hold button 1 and 2 until the LED starts flashing yellow).

Press and hold buttons 2 and 3 until the LED blinks green.

Press and hold button 1 and 2 to terminate the process.

To prevent inadvertent scene reprogramming due to

accidental pressing of a MKFOB button, lock the house

configuration from a house level scene controller.

Battery Usage

To ensure that the battery is not unnecessarily discharged, the

MKFOB goes to sleep when it is not

sending messages. When it wakes to send

a message, it immediately goes back

into the sleep mode once the message

transmission has been confirmed and no

other button activity is present.
Installing a New Battery
To install the battery, you must open

the MKFOB housing. While the unit is

designed to withstand handling, there is

a circuit board inside, so you should avoid

opening the housing in areas prone to excessive static electricity.

Touch a grounded surface to discharge excessive static electricity

from your body before touching the printed circuit board.
1. Open the MKFOB

housing by inserting

the edge of a coin into

the notch on the corner

of the unit, near the

key-chain loop. Twist

the coin to pop open the

housing.

2. Remove the back

housing; on it is the

product identification

label with battery

instructions. The circuit

board and battery

remains in the front

housing.

3. Remove the old battery by pushing it out of

the metal clip that holds it in place.

4. Install the new CR2450 3Volt battery with the

positive (+) plane against the metal clip.

5. Reassemble the unit then snap the housing

together. Test the buttons. Make sure you

get the appropriate soft click when you press

each button.
