5. Setup and Installation

5.1. Mounting the Receiver

1. Select a suitable mounting location near the gate operator, ensuring it is protected from direct weather exposure and physical impact.
2. Use appropriate screws and anchors to securely fasten the receiver to a stable surface.
3. If an external antenna is provided, mount it in a clear area, away from large metal objects, for optimal signal reception. Connect the antenna to the receiver's antenna port.

5.2. Setting DIP Switches

The receiver uses DIP switches to set its security code. This code must match the code set on your compatible transmitter(s).

Figure 5.1: Internal view of the Multi-Code 109950 receiver, highlighting the DIP switch block used for setting the security code. Each switch can be set to ON or OFF positions.

1. Carefully open the receiver casing to access the internal circuit board and DIP switches.
2. Locate the bank of DIP switches. There are typically 10 switches.
3. Using a small screwdriver or pen, set the switches to match the code on your existing Multi-Code or Stanley transmitter. Ensure each switch is firmly in either the 'ON' or 'OFF' position.
4. Once the code is set, carefully close the receiver casing.

5.3. Wiring the Receiver

The receiver has wires for power and relay contacts. Refer to your gate operator's manual for specific wiring terminals.

• Power Connection: Connect the power wires from the receiver to the appropriate 12-30V AC or 10.5V DC power terminals on your gate operator. Observe polarity if connecting to DC power.
• Relay Connection: Connect the relay contact wires from the receiver to the 'Open' or 'Command' input terminals on your gate operator. These contacts provide a momentary closure to activate the gate.
• Grounding: Ensure proper grounding as per local electrical codes and the gate operator's instructions.

6. Operating Instructions

Once installed and configured, the Multi-Code 109950 receiver operates by receiving signals from compatible transmitters.

1. Ensure the gate operator has power and the receiver is correctly wired.
2. Press the button on your Multi-Code (300 MHz) or Stanley (310 MHz) transmitter that has been coded to match the receiver's DIP switch settings.
3. The receiver will detect the signal and activate its relay, sending a command to the gate operator to open or close the gate.
4. The operational range may vary depending on environmental factors and antenna placement.

7. Maintenance

The Multi-Code 109950 receiver requires minimal maintenance to ensure reliable operation.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the receiver and its wiring for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Cleaning: Keep the receiver housing clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Antenna Check: Ensure the antenna (if external) is securely mounted and free from obstructions.
• Code Verification: If experiencing issues, verify that the DIP switch settings on the receiver still match those on your transmitter(s).

8. Troubleshooting

If the receiver is not functioning as expected, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Response from Gate:
  • Check if the receiver is receiving power.
  • Verify that the DIP switch settings on the receiver exactly match those on the transmitter.
  • Ensure the transmitter has fresh batteries and is functioning correctly.
  • Confirm that the relay output wires are correctly connected to the gate operator's input terminals.
  • Test the gate operator's manual open/close function to rule out issues with the gate mechanism itself.
• Reduced Range:
  • Check the antenna connection and ensure it is securely attached.
  • Relocate the antenna to a higher or more open position, away from metal obstructions.
  • Ensure there are no new sources of radio interference in the vicinity.
• Intermittent Operation:
  • Inspect all wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
  • Verify stable power supply to the receiver.
