# Appendix A: PROG button times

How long to hold the PROG button on each iNELS Wireless unit to pair, clear one button, or clear the whole memory.

*Appendices. Used by every pairing procedure in this manual.*

Every iNELS Wireless receiver has one **PROG** button. What it does depends on **how long you hold it** — and those times are **not the same on every unit**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Do not use one generic time for all units.** On an RFSAI-61B-SL, holding PROG for 5 s already starts *clearing* a button; on an RFSAI-62B-SL, 5 s is still pairing. Look up your unit below before you start. **Watch the LED** — it tells you which mode you have reached (once per second = programming, 4× per second = clear).
{% endhint %}

## How to read the table

| Column                 | What it does                                                                              | What you see                                              |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Short press**        | Under 1 s. Manual control of the output — or, in programming mode, **finish** programming | Output toggles / LED returns to normal                    |
| **Enter programming**  | The unit waits for a transmitter button                                                   | LED flashes once per second                               |
| **Clear one button**   | The next transmitter button you press is removed                                          | LED flashes 4× per second, then one long flash to confirm |
| **Clear whole memory** | Factory reset: every paired button is removed; the unit then stays in programming mode    | LED flashes 4× per second, then every 0.5 s (up to 4 min) |

**Factory reset = clear whole memory.** There is no separate "hold more than 12 s" step.

## PROG times by unit

Where the table says "until the LED flashes once per second", hold PROG and release as soon as the LED starts flashing once per second — that is programming mode.

## Other units

* **RFRP-20N repeater** — not programmed with PROG hold times; see [its page](/inels-home/inels-wireless/devices/system-units/rfrp-20n-repeater.md).
* **RFSOU-1 twilight switch** — programming starts by pressing PROG while inserting the batteries; see [its page](/inels-home/inels-wireless/devices/transmitters/sensors/rfsou-1.md).
* **Thermostats (RFTC), the eLAN gateways, RF Touch-2** — not programmed with PROG times; see their own pages.

## Units with no PROG button

Transmitters — wall controllers, key fobs, detectors, input modules and sensors — do not have a PROG button that you hold. They are paired from their own pairing button or by inserting the battery, **and the PROG time that matters is the one of the receiver** you are pairing them to. See the [Pairing reference](/inels-home/inels-wireless/pairing-and-configuration.md).
