CB2LXHL3Universal Garage Door Opener

The Owners Manual for the Homelink® series Universal Garage Door Opener is reproduced here. HomeLink ® Universal Transceiver Suggested Owner’s Manual Text March 2002 HomeLink ® Universal Transceiver The HomeLink ® Universal Transceiver in your vehicle provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand- held transmitters with a single built-in component. This innovative feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters used to activate devices such as garage doors, entry door locks, estate gates, security systems, and home or office lighting. For additional information on HomeLink and/or HomeLink compatible products, call 1-800-355-3515 or refer to the HomeLink web site at www.homelink.jci.com. Precautions When programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to a garage door opener or entry gate, make sure that people and objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or damage. Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death. For more information, call 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com. Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver buttons be erased for security purposes (follow step 1 in the “Programming” portion of this text). Programming Note: For best results, replace the battery in the hand-held transmitter with a new battery before programming. If your garage door opener receiver (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, make sure the antenna is completely uncoiled and hangs straight down. 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons - releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (This procedure erases the factory set default codes and does not have to be followed to program additional hand-held transmitters.) 2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter of the device you wish to train approximately one to three inches away from the HomeLink surface - keeping the indicator light in view. (For placement questions, please contact HomeLink at 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com.) 3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand-held transmitter button and the desired HomeLink button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. Note: Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace this programming step (#3) with the procedures noted in the “Canadian Programming / Gate Programming” section. 4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons. (The rapid flashing light indicates successful programming of the new frequency signal.) If, after 20 seconds, the indicator light does not flash rapidly, release both the HomeLink and the hand-held transmitter buttons and repeat steps two through four. However, position the hand-held transmitter at a different length and/or angle until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly. Release both buttons after the indicator light flashes rapidly. Refer to “Rolling Code Programming” and/or “Canadian Programming/Gate Programming” for additional procedures if necessary. To activate the garage door or other programmed device upon successfully completing the steps above, press and hold the HomeLink button - releasing when the device begins to activate. To program the remaining two buttons, follow steps 2 through 4. If you do not successfully program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of the hand-held transmitter, refer to “Rolling Code Programming” within this text or call toll-free for customer assistance at 1-800- 355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com. Canadian Programming / Gate Programming Canadian frequency laws, and the technology of some entry gates, require you to “cycle” (press and re-press the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds) during programming. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button (note steps 3 through 5 in the “Programming” portion of this text) while you “cycle” your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly upon successful training. Note: When programming a garage door opener or gate, it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible motor burn-up Operating the HomeLink ® Universal Transceiver To operate, simply press the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the trained product (garage door, security system, entry door lock, estate gate, or home or office lighting). For convenience, the hand- held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. Rolling Code Programming Rolling code garage door openers (or other rolling code devices) which are “code protected” and manufactured after 1996, may be determined by the following: A. Reference the garage door opener owner’s manual for verification. B. The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver but HomeLink does not activate the garage door. C. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the HomeLink indicator light flashes rapidly and then turns solid after 2 seconds. To train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions after completing the “Programming” portion of this text (the aid of a second person may make the following training procedures quicker and easier.) 1.

Theory of Operation Stand Alone HomeLink® Module Description of Operation The HomeLink® transmitter is a radio frequency transceiver device whose primary function is to determine both frequency and bit code format of typical garage door remote control devices and identically re-transmit them to the original garage door opener receiver. The on-board microcontroller maintains the operational frequency band as 288MHz to 420MHz, excluding forbidden bands of 303.5 to 305.5MHz, 322 to 335.4MHz and 399.9 to 410 MHz by at least 1 MHz spacing. The “training” operation is performed by scanning the legal frequencies with a single conversion superheterodyne receiver, looking for valid garage door opener bit code formats. After the training sequence, the frequency, bit code and attenuator setting is stored in non-volatile memory (NVM). The IF of the superheterodyne receiver section is 10.7MHz. On subsequent power ups, the NVM data is recalled. The VCO is set on the desired RF carrier frequency. The antenna is coarse tuned by sweeping twice around the expected tuning point. It is the fine tuned with 9 pulses. The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is then modulated with the appropriate garage door opener bit code from the NVM. In addition to being frequency and data format adaptive. The HomeLink® transmitter also adjusts the RF amplitude level based upon the duty cycle. During the training sequence, the duty factor of the incoming bit code format is evaluated by the microcontroller determining the greatest amount of on-time in a 100 mS window. The duty factor is then used to adjust the output power in a range of 80% (1.9 dB) to a maximum limit to 30% (10.5 dB) duty cycle. A 9 bit attenuator is adjusted by a closed loop power control algorithm in the microcontroller. Also, the microcontroller adjusts the output level as a result of the learned frequency of operation. The firmware maintains information relative to the allowable field intensity limits. As the allowable limit increase with frequency of operation the microcontroller adjusts the output level to increase with the increase in transmit frequency. The LXHL3 variant of the Homelink® standalone transmitter also has Car Area Network (CAN) interface capabilities that allow it to interface with the vehicle’s computer. In it’s unmodified form the module will not power up without the presence of the CAN bus.

Programming the Homelink © III (Tuning Information) To clear memory: 1. Press the two outside buttons until the indicator LED flashes. This indicates the memory values have been cleared. 2. Holding the hand-held transmitter to be copied 3-6 inches from the Homelink © III and simultaneously, activate the hand-held transmitter and one of the Homelink © III buttons until the indicator LED flashes rapidly. The frequency and bit pattern information are now stored in the Homelink © III non-volatile memory (NVM). At this point the Homelink © III can be used as a substitute from for the Original transmitter. When a Homelink © III button is pressed four things happen: 1. A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is set to desired RF carrier frequency (recalled from the NVM). 2. The antenna is coarse tuned by sweeping twice around the expected tuning point. 3. The antenna is fine tuned by 9 pulses of approximately 210 uS in duration with 11 mS off. 4. The VCO is then modulated with the appropriate garage door opener bit code from the NVM.

Product Description: The Johnson Controls Interiors HomeLink® HL3 Universal Garage Door Opener is a low- power transceiver OEM device that is installed into an overhead console of the automobile. The installation is provided by trained technicians during the course of the manufacture of the automobile. It is powered by the 12volt system of the automobile. This Universal Garage Door Opener has the capability to 1. Learn the frequency and bit code format of the user’s existing garage door remote control devices and 2.Reproduce and transmit the frequency and bit code format to remotely operate the user’s garage door. The unit is designed for the periodic operation of a control signal, which typically activates a garage door opener receiver. The unit is supplied to the automobile manufacturer without harness. For testing purposes a typical assembly and 2-conductor cable harness were used to power to the unit. The unit is only operational when the user depresses the control button. It becomes inactive after release of the control button. The three-button HomeLink® unit replaces up to three hand-held transmitters. In addition to the typical operation of the garage door, the unit will learn the radio frequency codes of other transmitter types to activate entry door locks, estate gates, security systems, and home or office lighting. The antenna system is an integral part of the unit. It cannot be altered nor replaced by the user. Service of this system is only available from the Automobile Manufacturer’s Dealerships and Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC. 1.2.
