Setup and Programming
Battery Installation
The remote control requires two CR2016 lithium batteries. These are typically included with the product. To install or replace batteries, carefully open the remote control casing. Insert the batteries according to the polarity markings inside the compartment. Close the casing securely.
Compatibility
This remote control is compatible with the following SCS Sentinel gate motorization boards:
- CB100/P100 PCB1 (for ram-type gates)
- CB100/P100 PCB2 (for articulated arm gates)
- P501BH PCB1 (for sliding gates)
- CTR51
- CTR52
Important: This remote control is not suitable for CTR50, CTR57, CTR58, and F12E boards.
Programming
To program this remote control, refer to the user manual of your specific gate motorization system. The programming procedure is typically performed on the gate motor's control board, not directly on the remote control itself. Follow the instructions provided by your gate motor manufacturer for pairing new remote controls.

Operation
The SCS Sentinel ControlGate AAM0085 remote control features four independent channels, allowing you to control up to four different gate functions or devices, provided they are compatible and programmed correctly. Each button corresponds to a specific channel.
- Activation: Press the desired button on the remote control to send a signal to your gate motorization system.
- Rolling Code Security: The remote utilizes a rolling code system, which changes the transmission code each time a button is pressed. This enhances security by preventing unauthorized duplication of the signal.
- Operating Frequency: The remote transmits signals at a frequency of 433.92 MHz.
- Range: The maximum operating range is approximately 30 meters (98 feet) in an open field, without obstacles. Environmental factors and interference may affect this range.

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the remote control's range decreases significantly or it stops responding, it may be time to replace the batteries. Replace both CR2016 lithium batteries simultaneously to ensure optimal performance. Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
Cleaning and Care
Clean the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic casing and electronic components. Keep the remote control dry and away from extreme temperatures.
Security
The remote control is equipped with a solid steel attachment for keys, designed to minimize the risk of loss. Ensure it is securely attached to your keys or a suitable holder.
Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
- Reduced operating range: This often indicates low battery power. Replace the batteries. Ensure there are no new obstructions between the remote and the gate receiver.
- Gate not responding after battery replacement: Some gate systems may require re-pairing the remote control after battery replacement. Refer to your gate motorization system's manual for specific instructions.
- Interference: Other wireless devices operating on similar frequencies (433 MHz) may cause interference. Try operating the remote from a different position.
If issues persist, consult the user manual of your gate motorization system or contact SCS Sentinel technical support.
