How to Choose & Program Your Alarm Remote

Selection Steps

• Identify your alarm control panel or receiver brand/model
• Determine code type (rolling or fixed code, often shown on current remote or receiver docs)
• Decide on number of buttons/zones needed
• Check battery type (CR2032 is common) and enclosure resilience for your application (home, business, outdoor)

Programming Example:

For most rolling code remotes (e.g., Paradox REM2), hold the programming button on the receiver until the LED flashes, then press the desired button on your new remote. Refer to your alarm system manual for specifics.

Typical Troubleshooting Tips

• Remote not pairing: Check battery, ensure protocol matches receiver, and follow correct learning process
• Limited range: Try replacing the battery or repositioning the receiver antenna
• Multiple remotes stop working: Receiver issue (e.g., power supply or interference)
