How to duplicate a BFT remote control
If you are looking for information on how to duplicate a BFT remote control, you are in the right place. In this article, I will guide you step by step through the process of duplicating your BFT remote control easily and quickly.
BFT is one of the leading brands in the production of automation systems for gates, garage doors, and automatic barriers. Their products are known for their quality and reliability, but sometimes it may be necessary to duplicate the remote control to have a spare copy or to replace it if it breaks.
The good news is that duplicating a BFT remote control is not as difficult as it seems. With the right instructions and tools, you can do it yourself without having to call a specialized technician.
In the next section, we will see what are the necessary tools to complete the process of duplicating the BFT remote control.
Materials required
To duplicate a BFT remote control, you will need the following materials:
- Original BFT remote control
- Universal remote control for duplication (such as Kopyo model from BFT)
- Batteries for both remotes
It is important to make sure that you have the universal remote control suitable for duplicating the model of BFT remote control that you want to copy. Additionally, it is essential to check that batteries are charged and working on both devices.
If not, you will need to replace the batteries before proceeding with duplication. Once you have all the necessary materials, you can start following the steps to duplicate your BFT remote control.
Step-by-step procedure
Here are the steps to follow to duplicate your BFT remote control:
- Step 1: Turn on your old BFT remote control and position it next to the new one.
- Step 2: Press and hold down the programming button on the old remote control until the LED light starts flashing.
- Step 3: While holding down the programming button, also press the button on the new remote control that you want to program. The LED light on the old remote control will stop flashing.
- Step 4: Release both buttons and wait a few seconds. The LED light on both remotes should become stable, indicating that programming has been successfully completed.
- Step 5: Verify that the new remote control works correctly by operating the device controlled by the remote control (for example, an automatic gate or garage door).
Remember that if you need to program more than one new remote control, you must repeat this procedure for each of the new devices.
In case of difficulties during programming, consult the user manual of your BFT device or directly contact the technical support of the company.
Troubleshooting common problems
The remote control does not work after duplication
If the remote control does not work after duplication, there are some things you can try:
- Make sure you followed the correct steps for duplicating the remote control.
- Check that the batteries are charged and inserted correctly in the remote control.
- Check if there is a problem with the gate or door receiver. It may need to be replaced or repaired.
The remote control only works at short distance
If the remote control only works at short distance, there may be an issue with the receiver's antenna. Try these suggestions:
- Make sure the antenna is positioned correctly and not damaged.
- Check for obstacles between the remote control and receiver. Obstacles such as walls and trees can reduce signal range.
- You may need to replace the antenna or install a more powerful one.
The remote control turns on but does not open the gate or door
In this case, there are some things to check:
- Make sure you programmed the remote control correctly to open the gate or door.
- Check if there are issues with the gate or door receiver or motor. These components may need to be repaired or replaced.
- Check for obstacles that prevent the gate from opening fully. In this case, you may need to remove obstacles or adjust the gate position.
If you are unable to resolve issues with your duplicated remote control, contact a specialized technician for professional assistance.
Conclusions and final considerations
Duplicating a BFT remote control may seem like a complicated procedure, but by following the correct steps it can be done easily and effectively. However, it is important to remember that duplicating remotes without authorization may be illegal in some circumstances. Therefore, always make sure you have the owner's permission before proceeding with duplication.
In addition, if you do not feel confident doing it yourself, it is always better to seek out a professional to avoid damaging your automatic opening system.
