Important Information
oThis remote control is an RF (radio frequency) device and therefore
does not need to be pointed in any manner toward the intended
window/skylight to be operated. The effective range for this remote
is approximately 100ft, but this varies with application conditions
such as: wall materials, mounting height of receiver and
interference from other devices radiating on RF frequencies.
oDevices which could be affected or cause interference can include
the following: radio baby monitors, garage door openers and
automotive keyless entry / security systems.
o
oBatteries: This remote control uses 3 size “AAA” batteries (not
included), Inserted with the proper polarities (+ and -) aligned
correctly. The use of alkaline batteries is recommended for best
service life. Do not mix alkaline and manganese battery types, nor
use old and new batteries together.
oA battery icon “ “ will become visible on the LCD when the
batteries are down to 20% of usable life. When the battery icon
““ begins to flash the batteries no longer provide enough power
to operate the remote consistently, and therefore should be
replaced.

Options for programming multiple units:
There are a number of different programming possibilities provided
by the “Unit” code function of the Sentry 2 remote. Here are a few:
1. Grouped Units on Single Unit Code: By pressing the “Learn”
button on a number of selected control panels you can
simultaneously program more than one window or skylight to a
single unit code. This can provide control of a group of windows
and/or skylights of any number as long as they are within range
of the remote control (approx. 100ft)
2. Banked Units on single Unit Code: By using the method above
you can also group windows on the same side of the room or
“bank” allowing you to take advantage of prevailing wind
conditions to make your home more comfortable. To further
improve cross ventilation in a room grouping windows on
opposing walls.
3. Chimney Ventilation: By combining a skylight unit and a window
unit (preferably on the shady or cooler side of the house) a
natural convection draft known as “chimney effect”. This helps
to cool the room by allowing the hot air to escape out through
the skylight and be replaced by the cooler air coming in through
the window.
4. The “All” setting for the Unit Code can also be used to provide
the above conditions.

displayed.
4) By leaving the remote in the “Therm” Mode the motors sharing the
displayed Unit Code will react to changes in room temperature. When the
room temperature is above the Set Point the units will automatically open,
and when the temperature drops below the Set Point by 5° F (2°C) the
units will automatically close. Note: The remote must be located within
range of the intended motor control units for reliable operation.
5) When thermostat control is no longer desired, changing the “Mode” to
either the “Motor” or “Blind” settings will deactivate the automatic
thermostat operation. The Set Point will be retained for future use.

When an error is noted in the operation of the motor unit (indicated by a Flashing
RED light on the wall plate or status indicator), the unit can be “Reset” by forcing
a re-initialization via the remote control.
1) Shut off the power* to the unit for 20 seconds. Upon reapplication of
power the unit should automatically close and stop.
2) Verify motor operation at this point, since cycling the power may correct
some problems.
3) Using the “Unit” key select the number which you programmed into the
control unit for the selected window or skylight. Note: A Reset cannot be
activated in the “All” Unit setting.
4) Using the “Mode” key select the “Motor” function.
5) Press both the “Unit” and “Mode” keys down simultaneously and hold
them until the “Motor” icon on the display blinks twice. Watch to be sure
the Unit Code does not change during the button press. If it does you will
have to return to step 3.
6) The selected unit should begin to run through a full open and closed cycle
during which a Red light should be seen at the wall switch plate or status
indicator. Watch the unit for obstructions or other problems during this
procedure. Take action to correct hardware or window/skylight related
problems as necessary.
6) Repeat this procedure from step 3) until the problem is resolved.
*Power interruption is most easily accomplished by shutting off the specific
breaker at the homes fuse or power distribution panel.
