Abstract
An assembly comprising at least one device remotely controlled by at least one transmitter (ESA, ESB) possessing an identity number capable of transmitting a signal consisting of a frame containing the identity number (A, B) and a command and a receiver (R1, R2) which are associated with the remotely controlled device (VR1, VR2) and capable of extracting the identity number from the signal received and of storing it. At least one transmitter of the assembly is a transmitter of simple type, that is to say whose signal frame contains an identifier signifying that this transmitter may control only a single receiver and the program contained in the processor of at least one receiver contains a routine for testing and identifying the type of transmitter preventing the recording of additional transmitter identity numbers in the memory if the identity number identified is that of a transmitter of simple type. A transmitter can then control only a single receiver.
