INTRODUCTIONWhen a radio control system is used the transmitter sends a “signal” to the receiver that, if recognisedas valid, activates the output relays.In view of the fact that a transmitter should activate only its own receiver and not that of yourneighbour, you have to codify the signal sent which means that each receiver will recognise its ownsignal and not others that might be similar.In traditional systems the code can be selected by means of a set of microswitches in the transmitter(offering only a few thousand combinations) or it can be programmed directly during production (inthis case you have a few million different code numbers available); however, the code number isfixed which means that each time it is transmitted the same signal is sent.The fact that the code is sent by radio and that it is always the same does, unfortunately, offer thepossibility to people who are up to no good to receive (even at a distance) and record the signalwhich they can then use as the “key” to open your door.The “FLOR” system uses a principle that makes your radio control extremely safe. A technique called “Rolling Code” is used that changes a part of the code each time it is transmittedfollowing a predefined sequence; the code is masked with appropriate mathematical functions sothere is no logical connection between two consecutive codes. The receiver is always synchronised- 30 -
with the transmitter so it will accept only the programmed code sequence. It is completelyuseless to try and copy the signal transmitted with this system because once the code has been“used” the receiver will only recognise the next one.From what we have described here it appears essential to keep the code sent by the transmitter andthe receiver perfectly synchronised but this is not completely true because there is a code windowthat lets the receiver accept, in sequence, the next code plus a certain number of subsequent codeswithout ever accepting a code that has already been used!Even if you exit from the code window, the receiver is designed to re-synchronise itself automatically:when it receives the first code there will be no activation but only storage of the code sent; when thenext signal is sent it will be synchronised and activate the outputs. Automatic re-synchronisation is ofcourse possible only if the codes are received following the established sequence.DESCRIPTIONThe system comprises:• 1, 2 or 4 channel transmitters (FLO1R, FLO2R, FLO4R), and 2 channel (VR of the VERY series)• Receivers with a terminal connection, 1 or 2 channels (FLOX1R, FLOX2R, FLOXB2R)• Receivers with plug in connections, 1 or 2 channels (FLOXIR, FLOXI2R)• Modular receivers (FLOXM220R, FLOXMR)• Memory card that contains the codes (BM60, BM250, BM1000 - 15, 63 or 255 codes maximum respectively)• Aerial (ABF - ABFKIT)- 31 -GB
INSTALLATIONTransmitters:The transmitters are ready to use, each withtheir own code number set duringconstruction. To see if they are workingproperly simply press one of the keys andcheck that the red LED is flashing, indicatingtransmission.The transmitter has a device built into it thatcontrols battery state: press one of the keysand if the battery is fully charged the LED willgive an initial pulse followed immediately bythe transmission signal. If the battery is partly flat the LED will give the first pulse and starttransmitting only after half a second.In this case we advise you change the battery as soon as possible.If, on the other hand, the battery is completely flat the LED will flash at half-second intervals withouttransmitting and the battery must be changed immediately.- 32 -VERY FLO1R FLO2R FLO4RLEDKEY 1KEY 2KEY 3KEY 4LEDKEY 1KEY 2Fig. 1
Selecting the channel on the transmitter:It is possible to modify the key-channel connection on the FLOR1 and FLOR2 versions.For key 1, simply cut the track that linked it to the 1st channel, as shown in Fig. 1A, and connect oneof the other pads on the right with a drop of solder to link it to the 2nd, 3rd or 4th channel. Do exactlythe same for the 2nd key, as shown in Fig. 1B. On VR the transmitters in the VERY series, thekey/channel association cannot be modified.- 33 -GBWELDING SIDEFig. 1A1ST KEY 2ND KEYcutcut1st channel1st channel2nd channel2nd channel3rd channel3rd channel4th channel4th channelFig. 1B
Receivers with terminals:Receivers with terminals are universal in their use. The container, which can be fixed with screws orusing the adhesive on the bottom, provides the circuit with good protection.Wire up following this sequence:1-2: POWER: from 10 to 28 V direct or alternate.3-4: 1st RELAYOUTPUT: free contact of a normally open relay.5-6: 2nd RELAY OUTPUT: free contact of a normally open relay (only on 2-channel receivers).1-2: AERIAL: aerial signal input.- 34 -12345612FLOX1RFLOX2RFLOXB2RAERIAL2ND RELAY OUTPUT1ST RELAY OUTPUTPOWERPOWER SUPPLYSELECTOR15 - 28 V10 - 18 VFig. 2CHANNEL SELECTION

Memory cardEach transmitter has its own code number (selected from more than 250 million) that distinguishes itfrom all other remote controls. The receiver can receive all the codes but is activated only if thatparticular code is on the list of “authorised” code numbers on the memory card.The receivers are supplied with a BM250 memory card that can contain a maximum of 63 codenumbers (63 remote controls are the maximum quantity). A BM60 memory card can also be usedwith a maximum of 16 code numbers or an BM1000 with a maximum of 255 code numbers, insubstitution of the BM250 card supplied with the unit. When powered, the receiver displays the typeof memory used: if a BM60 memory card is being used the LED will flash briefly; if a BM250 memorycard is being used instead, the LED will flash twice, while if an BM1000 memory card is being usedthe LED will flash three times.All the codes are stored in the memory, so when maximum security is required the code learningfunction must be disabled (this can also be done remotely). After the code numbers of the remotecontrols being used have been entered, break the track indicated by an arrow (Fig. 4). If, later on,you wish to enter other code numbers, join the two pads with a dot of solder (Fig. 5)ATTENTION!!: Turn the receiver off before pulling out or plugging in a memory card.- 36 -
This is a “hardware” type of disabling function, very simple to do but, consequently, very easy to undoby an intruder.There is also another type of disabling function, a “software” type, more difficult to manage butextremely secure in that only a previously authorised remote control can be used to restore it (seeactivating/deactivating the 2nd disabling function).Still on the subject of safety, there is another even more secure type of disabling function, which iscontrolled by a “PASSWORD”. Only a portable accessory BUPC manages this function.- 37 -GB051A LS051A LSFig. 4 Fig. 5CUT JOIN
ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGSSelection of the relays on the channelsEach receiver can recognise all 4 transmitter channels (channels = keys). Association of the outputrelays to the channel required is done via a jumper that has to be plugged in.- 38 -SELECTION OF 1ST RELAY SELECTION OF 2ND RELAY (if present)Fig. 6CHANNEL 1CHANNEL 2CHANNEL 3CHANNEL 4CHANNEL 1CHANNEL 2CHANNEL 3CHANNEL 4
Contact in outputThe outputs are controlled by a free, normally open contact (a contact free from other connections).If a normally closed type of contact is needed: • Cut the “NO” part of the track (Fig. 7).• Join the “NC” pads with a spot of solder (Fig. 8).- 39 -GBNA NCNO NC NO NC1ST RELAY 2ND RELAYRECEIVER ON WELDING SIDEFig. 7 Fig. 8CUT JOINFig. 7 Fig. 8CUT JOIN
Special functionsGenerally speaking the function of a relay in output is temporary, that is, it is energised just a fewseconds after the keys have been pressed on the remote control (delay due to code recognitiontime); it de-energises 300 mS after the last valid code number has been received.The relay in output has some special functions available.Step-by-step functionThe relay is activated when the transmitter key is pressed and remains energised after it has beenreleased; the relay will be deactivated when the key is pressed again.Timer function:The relay is activated when the transmitter key is pressed and remains energised until theprogrammed time has elapsed. Time counting starts again each time the transmitter key is pressedand can be terminated early by keeping the key pressed for at least 3 seconds.Anti-theft function:This is a combined function of outputs 1 and 2. By pressing transmitter key 1 you will have the step-by-step function on channel 1 (suitable for connecting/disconnecting an anti-theft device). Onchannel 2, besides normal functioning associated with key 2, there will also be a brief activation of- 40 -
the transmitter when channel 1 goes from OFF to ON and two brief activations when channel 1goes from ON to OFF. This means that a visual or acoustic signal can be connected to channel 2 tosignal that the anti-theft device is connected or disconnected.The special functions must be activated by means of a small spot of solder (Fig. 9) according to thefollowing table:No jumper:all temporary channelsJumper 1:1 step-by-step... 2,3,4 temporaryJumper 2:1,2 step-by-step... 3,4 temporaryJumper 3:1 timer... 2,3,4 temporaryJumper 4:1+2 anti-theft... 3,4 temporaryJumper 5:all step-by-step channels- 41 -GBNo jumperJumper 1Jumper 2Jumper 3Jumper 4Jumper 5
INSTALLING THE AERIALThe receiver needs an ABF or ABFKIT type aerial to work properly; without an aerial the range islimited to just a few metres. The aerial must be installed as high as possible; if there are metal orreinforced concrete structures nearby you can install the aerial on top. If the cable supplied with theaerial is too short, use a coaxial cable with 52-Ohm impedance (e.g. low dispersion RG58); the cablemust be no longer than 10 m. Connect the centre part (core) to terminal 2 and the shield to terminal1 (in the relative part). If the aerial is installed where the earth connection is not good (masonrystructures), the shield’s terminal can be connected to earth which will provide a larger range of action.The earth point must, of course, be in the immediate vicinity and be of good quality. If an ABF orABFKIT aerial cannot be installed, you can get quite good results using the length of wire suppliedwith the receiver as the aerial, laying it flat and connecting it to terminal 2.- 42 -
PROGRAMMINGEach transmitter has its own code number (selected from more than 250 million) that distinguishes itfrom all other remote controls. The receiver can receive all the codes but is activated only if thatparticular code is on the list of “authorised” codes. A code number can be entered or deleted fromthis list by means of a “learning” procedure.The operator has to press a button on the receiver card to activate the procedure: the operationsare timed so first read all the instructions and then carry out the operations one after the otherwithout stopping.A small red LED visually indicates the different steps of the procedure.This LED is the only way to check the various operations or receiver states. Because there is a lot ofinformation to display, there are 2 stable states plus a series of flashes with two speeds:• LED off: normal functioning mode• LED on: learning procedure in progress- 43 -GB
FAST FLASHING 1/4 secondWhen it turns on it means there is a BM60 memory card; it then indicates that the code number received is a “copy” while only “original” codes are valid.When it turns on it means there are code numbers memorised that do not belong to the Flor version; it then indicates that the code number is not in the code number window and re-synchronisation is stopped.When it turns on it means that an error was found in the memory during reading; it then indicates that the code is not in the code number window and re-synchronisation is impossible.When it turns on it means there is a BM1000 memory card; it then indicates that the code is not in the code number window but that it has been re-synchronised.When it turns on it means there is a BM250 memory card.12345SLOW FLASHING 1/2 secondNo. flashes DESCRIPTION No. flashes DESCRIPTIONThe code number received is not among those authorised.End of learning time without any result.Learning successfully finished (authorised code number).The code number is already on the authorised code list.The list is empty (no codes).The list is full (there is no room for other code numbers).A request has been made to delete a code number that does not exist.Different code numbers were received during the learning phase.Password entered.12*3456789* If the 2nd type of disabling function is active, the 2nd flash will be longer than the first If the 2nd type of disabling function is not active, both flashes will be the same
Entering a code number (fast way)This is the quickest way to enter a code number although it is not very safe because while the codenumber is being memorised the receiver could receive a signal from another transmitter that is withinits range and memorise it.You must take this risk into consideration when deciding how to enter your code number.- 45 -LEDPUSH BUTTONLEDPUSH BUTTONPUSH BUTTONLED Fig. 10
This operation will also let you add the code number of a new transmitter to the receiver’s memory.1) Press the key on the receiver and hold it down: the LED turns on and you must then.2) Transmit the code number until the LED turns off pressing any key on the transmitter.3) Now release the transmitter key: the LED will turn back on ready for a new operation.4) Repeat the procedure from point 2 for the other transmitters.Entering a code number (normal way)This operation too will let you add the code number of a new transmitter to the receiver’s memory.1) Press the key on the receiver for a moment: the LED will turn on for 5 seconds. Within this time you must:2) Transmit the code number until the LED turns off pressing any key on the transmitter.3) Release the transmitter key and wait a second.4) Transmit the code to confirm by pressing any key on the transmitter.The LED will now flash 3 times meaning that the operation was done properly; if this does nothappen, repeat the whole procedure from the beginning. Repeat the whole procedure if you want toenter a new code number.- 46 -
Entering a code number (remotely)To enter the code number of a new remote control without using the receiver key you will need anauthorised remote control (note: the first remote control must always be entered using the receiverkey). Now, with the two remote controls, which we shall call NEW (the one whose code number wewant to enter) and OLD (the authorised one), position yourself in their range of action and then:1) Transmit the NEW code number for at least 5 seconds pressing any key on the NEW transmitter.And then slowly:2) Transmit an OLD code number 3 times pressing any key on the OLD transmitter 3 times.3) Transmit the NEW code number ONCE to confirm pressing any key on the NEW transmitter.Now the new code number has been entered and you can repeat this procedure immediately withanother remote control.ATTENTION!! : this operation enters the new code number in all the receivers within the rangeof action that recognise the old code number. If there are several receivers nearby with theold code number, turn the ones off that you do not want to receive the new code number.- 47 -GB
DELETING A CODE NUMBERIf you want to delete a code number from the receiver’s memory proceed as follows:1) Hold the key down on the receiver (about 3 seconds) when the LED turns off let go of the key.2) Transmit the code until the LEDs turn off again pressing any key on the transmitter.3) Release the key on the transmitter and wait 1 second.4) Transmit the code to confirm pressing any key on the transmitter.The LED will now flash once to indicate that the code has been deleted. If this does not happenrepeat the procedure from the beginning.DELETING ALL CODE NUMBERSWith this operation all the code numbers stored are deleted (emptying the memory), the 2nd learningdisabling function is also cancelled and TIMER time is set at 3 seconds.1) Hold the key down on the receiver, the LED will turn off after 3 seconds.2) Release the key during the 3rd following flash.3) Wait about 3 seconds.4) Press the key as soon as the LED turns back on and release it as soon as it turns off.- 48 -
The operation may take several seconds depending on memory type. During this phase theLED will flash quickly followed by 5 slow flashes to indicate that it has been reset and the memory isempty; if this does not happen repeat the procedure from the beginning.CHECKING THE QUANTITY OF CODE NUMBERS STORED- Press the receiver key TWICE.- Count the number of flashes that follow: each flash is a code number.If there are a lot of code numbers and you want to stop before getting to the end simply press thekey for 1 second.VERIFYING THE 2ND LEARNING DISABLING FUNCTIONPress the key on the receiver for a moment and wait for the 2 flashes that indicate time end (about5 seconds).- If the 2nd flash lasts longer than the first it means the disabling function is active.- If the duration of both flashes is the same it means the disabling function is not active.- 49 -GB
ACTIVATING THE 2ND LEARNING DISABLING FUNCTION 1) Press the key on the receiver for a moment 2) Wait for the 2 flashes that indicate time end (about 5 seconds)3) Press the key during the 2nd flash and release it as soon as the LED turns off.2 flashes follow: the 2nd should last longer than the first to indicate that the disabling function is active;if this does not happen, repeat the procedure from the beginning.REMOVING THE 2ND LEARNING DISABLING FUNCTION To remove the learning disabling function you will need an authorised remote control.1) Press the receiver key for a moment, the LED turns on for 5 seconds within which time you have to:2) Transmit the code until the LEDs turn off pressing any key on the transmitter.3) Release the key on the transmitter and wait 1 second.4) Transmit the code to confirm pressing any key on the transmitter; the LED will now flash 4 timesmeaning that the code is already on the list.5) Press the key during the 4th flash and let it go as soon as the LED turns off.Two identical flashes will follow meaning that the disabling state is not active; if this does nothappen, repeat the procedure from the beginning.- 50 -
PROGRAMMING TIMER TIMEThe TIMER function has to be active (jumper on 3, see Fig. 9) to programme time. Temporarilyremove the channel selection jumper if you do not want to activate the relays.1) Press key 1 on the transmitter and hold it down (on an already functioning transmitter) then,within 3 seconds, you must:2) Press the receiver key and hold it down.3) Release the transmitter key.4) Release the receiver key after a time equivalent to the time you wish to programme (2.5 h max.)The time is now memorised and will not change unless it is programmed again.N.B. The receiver’s normal operation is inhibited while you are programming timer time (channels arenot active)- 51 -GB
