KEYCUTTING
SR PROXIMITY CONTROLS FROM JMA
JMA have been specialising in reproducing garage door and automated gate remote fobs for
over 10 years. Several months ago they launched a new cutting-edge technology,
called SR Proximity Controls, to produce replacement/additional remote controls.
JMA has developed this technology with
a high copy capacity both for fixed and
Rolling Codes, and for all frequencies used
in the different markets.
The new range consists of three different
frequency range controls, which means
only a small amount of stock holding is
required. SKS have put together a startup package that includes a Frequency
Meter/PC communication line and 10
(5 x 433MHz and 5 x 868MHz) remotes.
In addition you get the easy to use PC
software that identifies the original remote
and gives you step-by-step instructions.
WHAT REMOTES CAN I COPY?
The SR technology copies about 80%
of the remotes used for garage, gate and
automated doors using Fixed, 1st and 2nd
Generation rolling codes.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS
OF THE JMA SYSTEM?
A JMA SR remote is cheaper to buy
compared to an original remote. Also
there is much less stock holding - you only
have to stock 3 different remotes rather
than 50+ variations.
CAN I ACCIDENTALLY OVER write
THE CUSTOMER’S ORIGINAL?
No. The original remote will only
transmit information and will not receive
or store any different information.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE
TO MAKE A COPY?
In majority of cases it takes about 1
minute to make a copy.
WHY DO I NEED TO ENROL A ROLLING
CODE REMOTE INTO THE RECEIVER?
Every time you push a button on
the remote the serial number + an
incremental number is transmitted.
If you make a ‘Clone’ copy (i.e. have 2
remotes with the same serial number) the
incremental numbers will differ after the
BASIC
KNOWLEDGE
A remote needs to transmit
using a specific frequency,
so the receiver can receive
the signal. (i.e. you need
to tune a radio to the
frequency of the radio station
you want to listen to)
first use making the other remote out of
sequence.
To stop this happening you give each
new remote a unique serial number, so the
incremental numbers will not affect other
remotes. By enrolling the new remote
you are asking the receiver to learn a new
serial number to its memory.
Copy process in action
1) Using the original
remote, press the
button while aiming
at the frequency
meter to identify
the frequency its
transmitting on.
3) Hold down
buttons 3 & 4 on
the JMA SR remote
until the LED
begins to flash.
2) Select a suitable SR remote:
4) Connect to the
frequency meter.
5) From the PC
software click
Connect. Look at
the bottom right
hand corner where
it gives you the
connection status.
6) Once connected click functions >
copy wizard. Click Begin followed by
which button you want to copy the
information to. Each brand of remote
will have slightly different copying
sequence, so its important to always
follow the on-screen instructions.
7) Once the information has been read,
it will ask what copy mode do we want
to use (Automatic, Manual, Clone). In
99% cases always click ‘Automatic’ to
generate a new unique serial number.
‘Manual’ allows you to enter the serial
number yourself where ‘Clone’ uses
the same serial number as the original
(Sometimes useful if the original remote
is damaged and will no longer be used).
8) When copying
most rolling code
remotes they will
automatically
program all the
other buttons
(i.e. we program
button 1, buttons
2, 3, 4 if available
will automatically
be programmed).
However with Fixed
code remotes and
certain remotes
like FAAC we need
to run through the
copy sequence
for each button.
