PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE 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.
