How to Change the Melody on the LRA-DCRXS Receiver

Change melodies on an LRA-DCRXS receiver that is already programmed to LRA transmitters. Different melodies can be assigned to different zones so users know which door triggered the receiver.

Published November 18, 2021

This video demonstrates how to change the melody on an LRA-DCRXS that is ALREADY programmed to an LRA transmitter. For example, suppose you have two wireless LRA-PBTX push buttons programmed to the LRA-DCRXS, one for the front door and one for the back door of your home. While programming, you mistakenly programmed the same melody to both zones on the receiver. While this is technically okay, this isn't the best practice because you won't know which door triggered the receiver. Ideally, you want to program a different melody for each zone.

Step 1 – Power On the Receiver

Make sure the LRA-DCRXS Receiver is plugged into a power supply.

Step 2 – Put the Receiver in Programming Mode

The "learning button" is located on the side of the receiver. It is the button labeled with a solid dot. Hold down the button for approximately three seconds. A RED LED should show in the strobe light screen. Release the learning button.

Step 3 – Select the Melody

Press and release the melody button to hear the different melodies. Once you hear the melody you want, stop pushing the button.

Step 4 – Trigger the Transmitter

Once you have selected the desired melody, trigger the transmitter you want associated with that melody. For example, for a push button, press the button. For the LRA-EXTX, press the test buttons on the unit.

Step 5 – Repeat to Change the Melody for Another Transmitter

If you do not have another transmitter, skip to the next step.

Step 6 – Take the LRA-DCRXS Receiver Out of Programming Mode

When programming is complete, take the unit out of programming mode by holding the learning mode button for approximately 3 seconds. The RED LED should not display on the strobe screen.
