1. Setting the Frequency
(see Frequency Select Mode for further information)
Connect a cable from the output of the tester to the input of
the cable box, make sure the incoming (live) cable is disconnected
and not on the testers input. Remove the RFT-PLUS tester snap
on metal cover. Press "F" then "4" or "P" then "4" on your cable
box remote. You will see a -E on the cable box display. Hold down
the tester's left button and plug it's power jack in. Wait until
it displays an F, release the button. You will see F S flashing
for frequency select. Press the right button until you see the
cable box display change to a flashing -0 , then press the left
button to save this frequency and the tester will exit this mode
and begin sending test signals. (note: if you find that your converter
flashes on more then one frequency setting then you may have to
change it to the next one if the first one doesn't work)
2. Setting Serial Number
(see Serial Number Programming for further information)
Warning:
Step 2 is only required for CFT22XX model numbers, skip step
2 if model number starts with DP7, DPV7, DPBB7, or CFT20.
Obtain the box serial number by pressing "F" then "2" or "P"'
then "2" on your cable box remote. The display on your box will
flash a sequence of numbers, write down only the right hand digits
in the order they are flashed out. The first 10 right hand digits
is the serial number of your box. Output the serial number several
times until you are certain you have written down the correct
number. The number may contain the letters A thru F. Now enter
this 10 digit serial number into the tester by holding down both
push button switches while you plug in the power to the tester.
When the tester begins to flash S P for Serial Number Programming,
press the right button once, now you will see a 0 on the display.
Now you can start entering the serial number by pressing the right
button to increment up (0 thru 9 then A thru F) to the number
you need. Now press the left button to enter it. You will now
have the 0 displayed again and are ready to enter the second number.
Do this for all 10 digits. After you have all 10 digits entered
you will see the display go to the top of the 8. The cable box
is now being activated, this takes only a couple of seconds.

NOTE 2:
Remotes without an F or P key: You can determine the serial number
of your unit from the 12 digit barcode sticker on the bottom of
your converter. The 12 digit number starts with a C. Do not use
the last two digits. Use this conversion to figure out your serial
number: (barcode = tester display) A=0, B=1, C=2, D=3, E=4, F=5,
G=6, H=7, J=8, K=9, L=A, M=B.
NOTE 3:
To determine your frequency: Look at the model number on the bottom
of the converter box. The last two digits with /,/M1=97.5 A /
with no number or /S8,/b,/R1=106.5 /P1,/T1,V5,/OC,/R1=108.5 You
will notice /R1 ends for both 106.6 and 108.5. Boxes with these
endings must try both frequencies. One or the other will work.
RFT-PLUS Programming data sheet:
Left Button Switch SWI
Is accept or select in all programming modes INITIALIZATION SWITCH
in normal operation
Right Button Switch SW2
- Increment or toggle in all programming modes
- Multi-mode increment switch (sends out multi-mode change command
for each push of the button. 0 thru 255)
IRD Infrared Detector (Remote Control
Eye)
- Works the same a pushing the right switch
when switching or pulsing in multi-mode.
Power up operating modes:
NORMAL
POWER UP MODE:
(No switch activated upon power up)
Displays L for frequency lock OK then displays carrier frequency
reference 1 for 89.3Mbz, 2 for 97.5Mhz 3 for 106.5Mhz and 4 for
108.5Mhz. Unit will display the top half of the 8 when it is running
and codes are being output.
FREQUENCY SELECT
MODE:
( Left switch activated upon power up Alternating F S on display
until switch is pressed ( default is 106.5Mhz )Pressing the right
increment switch will toggle through the usable frequencies. 1
for 89.3Mhz, 2 for 97.5Mhz, 3 for 106.5Mhz, and 4 for 108.5Mhz.
Pressing the left switch will accept and store the selected frequency.
During this selection process only connect the output of the tester
to the cable box. Press F1 or P1 on the cable box, the cable box
will display –E if you have the wrong frequency selected and will
display a -0 ( it may flicker) for the correct frequency, save
that frequency by pressing the left switch. After frequency selection
is complete the unit will return to the power up mode "a".
UNIT PROGRAMMING MODE:
(Right switch activated upon power up)
Alternating U P on display until switch is pressedPress right
switch to increment through the modes and then press left to go
into that mode. Press right switch again to increment through
the selections within that mode, then press the left switch to
except that setting. You will then be bumped back up the mode
list, press the right switch to continue incrementing through
the modes. If you pass up the mode you want, keep going they will
start over after the E. To exit unit programming select "E" for
exit.
SERIAL NUMBER PROGRAMMING:
(Both switches activated upon power up)
Alternating S P on display until switch is pressedPress and hold
both switches down during power up. The display will alternately
display S P. Press the right switch (increment) and the display
will change from 0 thru 9 then A thru F and then rotate starting
at 0 again. Keep pressing until you have reached the number you
want. Then press the left switch to enter your selection. Now
the display will start at zero (0) again. Again press the right
switch until you have reached the correct number then press the
left switch to enter it. If the number you need is a zero then
just simply press the left switch to enter it. Once the 10 numbers
for the SN have been entered the top of the 8 will be displayed
and your converter will be initialized. The unit is now in normal
power up mode.
HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SERIAL NUMBER USING
THE CONVERTERS DIGITAL DISPLAY (you may also translate
the barcode on the bottom of the converter: see NOTE 2 & 3 at
the bottom of the fist page of this manual).Have a piece of paper
and pen ready to write the serial number down.Press "F" then "2"
or "P" then "2" on your cable box and watch the cable box display.
The numbers displayed are 0X, 1X,2X,3X,4X,5X,6X,7X,8X,9X, and
some other diagnostic data that alternates after.The 0 thru 9
in the LEFT DIGIT is constant and tells you which number is being
displayed. This information can be ignored. You need to write
down what is displayed in X the RIGHT DIGIT this is your serial
number. Your serial number will be 10 digits long and may contain
the letters A thru F.
Unit programming modes:
Mode1: Automode
Timer
Mode
2: IR LED
- Selection A ON
- Selection B OFF (default)
Mode 3:
