WARNING:
· Disconnect
operator power before any installation or repair
· Always wear
safety glasses
Your
Digi-Code radio controls are designed specifically to remotely control a garage
door opener \ gate operator and to give years of trouble free service without
adjustment. Because all radio controls
are set with the even numbered switches in the “ON” position when they leave
the factory, it is recommended that a different code be selected and set at the
time of installation. Please refer
to the “Setting the Code Switch” section for instructions. The radio frequency
(RF) portion of the controls, however, are tuned to standard frequencies and
are thoroughly tested at the factory. This permits the addition or replacement
of either the transmitter or the receiver by specifying the Model number and
the RF frequency designated on the identification label. RF adjustments are not
needed nor should any be attempted.
SECTION #1
SETTING THE CODE SWITCH
Remove the top section of the case to access the
code switches. The digital code is determined by the position of the 10 small
switches numbered 1 through 10 located in the receiver and the transmitter. Any
combination of “on” or “off” positions can be selected by using a pencil or a
pen. (Note: The switches are in the “on” position when the switch is depressed
toward the number.) – See Figure # 1.
Set code switch positions 1 through 10 to your personal code scheme, (Note:
This setting must match the setting in the transmitter you are going to use to
operate this device.). We strongly urge that
several coding schemes be avoided: ALL ON or; 2,4,6,8,10, ON. These positions
are similar to our or other manufacturers test positions, or are frequently
used.
SECTION #2
RECEIVER INSTALLATION
Begin
your installation by correctly wiring the receiver to the devices you will be
using. WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
HAS PROVIDED. SINCE, IN MANY CASES, THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL DETERMINE THE WAY
IN WHICH THE RECEIVER WILL BE INSTALLED.
The receiver should be mounted near the operator powerhead and can be installed in any position by using screws and the two slots in the cover flanges. Select a location and position that permits access to the terminals and spade for the antenna as clear of metal structures as possible and preferably in a vertical position.
The receiver comes equipped with a coax antenna receptacle and an antenna with a coax connector. The antenna can be screwed directly into the receptacle, or to an outside location ( away from a metal structure ) for better receiver performance by using a coaxial kit ( Part # 5166-03 ) available from your dealer.
IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE
MODEL 5110 OR 5112 - 12V / 24V RECEIVER
FOR 24VAC OR DC – Wire the red and black wires to a 24V-power supply. If applicable,
attach the red wire to the positive
terminal (+) and the black
wire to the negative terminal (-).
Connect the remaining gray wires as specified by the manufacturer
of your operator. If not specified, wire the
two gray wires in
parallel
with the push button terminals. If the operator has a three
wire
terminal, the proper terminals will usually be marked “1”
and “2” or
“24V” and “ RELAY” ( see figure #2 ).
Figure #2
FOR 12VAC OR DC – Wire the red and black wires to a 12V-power supply. If applicable,
wire the red wire to the positive (+) 12 volt terminal in the
operator
and wire the black wire to the negative (-)
or ground terminal of the
operator. Connect the remaining gray wires as specified by the
manufacturer of your operator. If not specified, wire the two
gray
wires in parallel with the push button terminals ( see figure #3
).
Figure #3
At
this point you should permanently mount your receiver, if you have not already
done so.
IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE MODEL 5120 OR 5122 - 110V RECEIVER
Plug
the transformer into a convenient 110 volt outlet. Connect the remaining gray wires
as specified by the manufacturer of your operator. If not specified, wire the
two gray wires in parallel with the push button terminals. If the operator has
a three wire terminal, the proper terminals will usually be marked “1” and “2”
or “24V” and “ RELAY” (see figure #4 ).

SECTION #3
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
After you have mounted
your receiver, test it with the enclosed antenna for range and coverage
pattern. If greater range or coverage pattern is necessary, you may need to
purchase the coax antenna kit ( part # 5166-03 ) from your dealer.
Important Receiver Installation Notes:
1) Be sure the unit is sealed from moisture, and if
possible keep it away from direct moisture.
2) In those installations where vibration may be a
factor, be sure to use a fastening compound , such as LOCTITE ™ on the mounting
screws.
3) If this, or any other equipment is being used in a
safety-related device, be sure to test the entire system at the time of
installation, and at frequent intervals, to determine that it is working
properly.
SECTION #4
OPERATIONAL CHECK
To check operation, move
back about 50 feet and press the transmitter button. Operation should be
reliable at this distance but environment and location of both the transmitter
and receiver will effect the range. Try different mounting locations and
positions, for the transmitter, in the vehicle. If operation is still
undesirable, check the following:
1.
The antenna must be
connected to the receiver for normal use.
2. If the operator fails to operate, check to see that 110V
power is present.
Check circuit breakers or for a system power failure.
1.
Checking the operator.
If the operator will not function when the push button is
pressed, the problem is likely to be the operator. If the operator will open by pressing the push button, but not when the radio control button is pressed, the problem is probably in the radios. Check that both the transmitter and receiver
code switches are set to the exact same code.
2.
Try mounting the
antenna at a more favorable remote location by using the coax antenna kit (
part # 5166-03 ).
If, after performing the
above operational checks, the controls still do not function, they should be
returned to your dealer for repair or replacement.
