Programming Beninca Remotes: A Simple Guide

Beninca is a popular Italian brand in gate automation. The company offers high-quality motors and remotes for various gate systems. Beninca motors are known for their durability and performance. They provide efficient operation for both residential and commercial gates. Like BFT, Beninca systems are user-friendly, but they have unique programming steps.

Programming Beninca Remotes: A Simple Guide

Understanding Beninca Remotes

Beninca remotes come with specific features. Unlike BFT remotes, which all operate in the same mode, Beninca remotes can function in three different encoding modes. This distinction is crucial when programming your remote.

The Challenge of Encoding Modes

When you purchase a new Beninca remote, it may come in a different encoding mode than your existing system. Typically, the remotes included in a kit match the receiver’s mode. However, if you buy a new remote separately, it might require additional steps for programming. 

Changing the Encoding Mode

To do programming Beninca remotes, (if it doesn’t work according to manual) you first need to change the type of encoding. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Press and Hold Buttons  
       Press and hold two buttons on the remote simultaneously. Keep holding them for about 20 seconds.
  2. Observe the Light  
       The remote’s light will blink while you hold the buttons.
  3. Release the Buttons  
       Release the buttons once the light stops blinking. Your remote is now ready for programming.

Programming the Remote

After changing the encoding mode, you can program the remote using the manual provided with your gate system. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

  1. Press the Receiver Button  
       Start by pressing the button on the receiver. This prepares the system to accept the new remote.
  2. Press the Remote Button  
       Next, press the corresponding button on your remote several times. This action allows the receiver to recognize the new remote.
  3. Programming with Control Board  
       If you are programming the remote to a control board with an LED display, follow these steps:
       – Press the “OK” button to enter the settings menu.
       – Use the “-” button to navigate to “RADI.”
       – Press “OK” twice to confirm.
       – Finally, push the remote button you want to program.

Troubleshooting

Programming Beninca remotes is usually straightforward. However, if you struggle at any step, do not hesitate to seek assistance. The Sesame Gate Automation team is available to help you with any issues you may encounter.

Conclusion

Programming your Beninca remote can enhance your gate automation experience. Understanding the encoding modes and following the correct steps is essential. With a little patience, you can successfully program your new remote. Remember, if you face any challenges, professional help is just a call away.
