TC4 Four Channel Transmitter
U.S. Patent Pending
The TriCodeTMdigital TC4 transmitter is a four-channel wireless radio control designed for use with automatic garage/gate operators and access control systems. All
TriCodeTMproducts can be used with Linear/Delta-3TM, StanleyTMand Multi-CodeTMreceivers. Two configuration
switches allow the four buttons to be configured to interface with two different receiver types in the same transmitter. The TriCodeTMradio format provides a potential of 2048 different digital codes. Two 10-position DIP switches, each capable of 1024 different digital codes provide these codes.
For Delta-3TMproducts, 512 (256x2) different digital codes are available.
SWITCH SETTINGS
CAUTION: To avoid possibility of duplicating codes in adjacent systems, all transmitters should be recoded prior to operation. Unless using the maximum number of codes four codes should not be used:
· All DIP Switches ON
· All DIP Switches OFF
· DIP Switches alternating ON/OFF
· DIP Switches alternating OFF/ON.
Step 1 Locate Switches and Connect Battery
Locate the DIP switches, configuration switches and battery by sliding down access cover on front of the transmitter case. DIP switches are numbered 1 through
10. The configuration switches are located to the right of the DIP switches (Refer to figures 1, 2 and 3).
The battery is located below the switches. Connect the battery connector to the 9V battery before programming transmitter (Refer to figure 3).
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and IC Canada Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
F.C.C. rules prohibit adjustments to or modification of receiver and/or remote control transmitter circuitry except for changing the code setting and replacing remote control transmitter battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
Step 2 Set Transmitter Configuration Switch(s)
The TriCodeTMTrasmitter is factory set to Linear/Delta­3TMposition.
Using a pointed object set transmitter configuration switches to desired setting.
Step 3 Set Transmitter DIP Switch(s)
The TriCodeTMTransmitter DIP switch(s) are factory set, CH1 OFF (1-10) and CH2 ON (1-10).
Using a pointed object set transmitter DIP switches to desired setting. For Linear/Delta-3 codes on switches 1 through 8. Switches 9 and 10 are not used for Linear/Delta-3
TM
products. Table 1 on page 2 shows the relationship between each button and the coding switches.
Note: Switches in receiver must match the switches in all transmitters used to operate the receiver. Some older radios use toggle switches and it may be difficult to determine ‘ON’ & ‘OFF’. If so, try reverse settings on the TriCode

Step 4 Recode Receiver Codes
Once the transmitter codes have been set, verify the receiver codes are set to the following settings: Linear/Delta-3 When the TC4 is set to the Linear/Delta-3
Receiver 1 - Set switch 1-8 to match switch 1, activates from Button 1. Receiver 2 - Set switches 1 and 2 OFF, match switches 3-8 on switch 2, activates from Button 2. Receiver 3 - Set switch 1 ON, switch 2 OFF, match switches 3-8 on switch 2, activates from Button 3. Receiver 4 - Set switch 1 OFF, switch 2 ON, match switches 3-8 on switch 2, activates from Button 4.
Multi-Code When the TC4 is set to the Multi-Code
Receiver 1 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 1. Receiver 2 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 2. Receiver 3 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 2, activates from Button 3. Receiver 4 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on switch 2, activates from Button 4.
Stanley When the TC4 is set to the Stanley
Receiver 1 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 1. Receiver 2 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 2. Receiver 3 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 2, activates from Button 3. Receiver 4 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on code switch 2, activates from Button 4.
NOTE: The DIP switches in the receiver must match the DIP switches in all transmitters used to operate the receiver.

Step 5 Test the Equipment
If not already installed, connect the receivers to the operators as described in their installation instructions.
Be sure the door/gate area is clear of people and obstructions. Activate each transmitter button and
verify that each receiver triggers its operator.
Battery Replacement
The 9 volt battery should last 12 to 18 months of normal use. The green LED on the face of the transmitter will light dimly or not at all when the battery needs replacing. The battery is located under the access cover.
