MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS
- For optimum range, place the receiver at least 2 meters vertically from the gate motor (e.g., top of gate posts).
- Ensure the cable entry point faces downwards when the receiver is outside the control box to prevent water ingress. The housing is splash-proof but not protected against direct spray. Silicon the cable entry hole to prevent insect infestation.
- Ensure no wires are exposed outside the receiver.
- Placing the receiver inside the motor housing may reduce its range.
- Range can be affected by other signals or interference.
- Physically number remotes and keep a record when coding multiple remotes.
- Range is dependent on line of sight and interference.
