TRICODE® TCG2 DUAL
CHANNEL RECEIVER
USED FOR TCG1 AND TCG2
The TriCode®digital receivers are designed for use with automatic
garage/gate operators and access control systems. All TriCode
®
products may be matched with Linear/Delta-3TM, Multi-CodeTMand
StanleyTMradio products which may already be installed.
The TriCode®radio format provides a potential of 1024 different
digital codes. For Linear/Delta-3TMcompatible products 256
different digital codes are available. The codes are set using a
10-position DIP switch system.
U.S. Patent 6,915,146
SPECIFICATIONS
Output Rating: 5 Amps 28Vac/Vdc Max.
Power: 12Vdc or 18 to 34Vac/Vdc, @ 30ma
RF Frequency: 300 or 310 MHz
Accessory Transmitters: TC1, TC2 and TC4
Antenna Extension Kit: TCEXT
NOTICE: To comply with FCC and or Industry Canada (IC) rules, adjustment or modifications of
this receiver and/or transmitter are prohibited, except for changing the code setting or replacing
the battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
Tested to Comply with FCC Standards FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. 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.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution:
• Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing the receiver.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving
gate or garage door:
• ALWAYS keep transmitters out of reach of children. NEVER permit
children to operate or play with remote control transmitters.
• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly
adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely closed.
NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate or door.

POWER & OUTPUT RELAY SWITCH SETTINGS
Figure 1
Power Supply Selection Setting
The TriCode®receiver is factory set for 24 volt power input if
12 volt is required.
Remove front cover of receiver by turning screws
counterclockwise a 1/4 of a turn until each releases. Set jumper
(P3) to either 12 or 24 volt setting depending on your power
input (Figure 1).
Setting Output Relay Mode
The TriCode®receiver is factory set for momentary relay output
“MNT”.
• Momentary mode: The output relay will be on for .5 seconds
before turning off.
• Constant pressure mode: Output relay is continuously on
while receiving matching/valid ID code from transmitter. The
output relay will turn off immediately once receiver does not
receive a matching/valid ID code from the transmitter.
If constant pressure mode is desired, move mode jumper
from “MNT” to “CST” (Figure 1).
NOTE: The relay output is an isolated normally open contact.
NOTE: To avoid the possibility of duplicating codes in adjacent
systems, all transmitters and receivers should be re-coded prior
to operation. Unless using maximum number of codes the
following four codes should not be used:
· All DIP Switches ON
· All DIP Switches OFF
· DIP Switches alternating ON/OFF
· DIP Switches alternating OFF/ON
Receivers should be installed at least 5' apart to avoid cross-talk.
After completing installation, operate transmitter outside of
building to make certain the chosen DIP switch setting does not
operate with nearby garage door operators and/or security
systems. If so, select another DIP switch setting and check the
coded signal again. Repeat as necessary.
RECEIVER MOUNTING
Mount receiver to wall using #6 hardware (not provided).
Hardware used will depend on mounting application. Refer to
Figure 1 for receiver mounting hole locations.
ANTENNA MOUNTING
Screw on antenna clockwise and slide rubber boot down to meet
O-ring.

Setting DIP Switch
The TriCode®receiver DIP switch CH1 is factory set OFF (1-10)
and CH2 is factory set ON (1-10).
Locate the 10 position DIP Switch. If this is a new installation
using TriCode®transmitters, randomly set switches matching
those of the transmitters. Never use factory setting. If receiver is
used with Linear/Delta-3TM, Multi-CodeTMor StanleyTMtransmitters,
match the receiver DIP Switch to the above transmitters. Some
transmitters may use toggle switches and it may be difficult to
determine ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’. If so, try reversing the setting on the
TriCode®DIP Switch (Figures 3 and 4).
NOTE: In 'LINEAR/DELTA-3
TM
' mode (8-bits system) the last 2
bits (DIP #9 & 10) settings are ignored. They can be left in either
‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ settings.
Setting the Configuration Switch
The TriCode
®
receiver is factory set for Linear/Delta-3TM.
Locate the configuration switch and set it to the desired RF mode
of operation (Figures 2 and 4). Modes are as follows:
Linear/Delta-3TM: works with all “Linear/Delta-3TM” transmitters
transmitted at 310 MHz using 8-bits ID system.
MultiTM: works with all “Multi-CodeTM” transmitters transmitted at
300 MHz using 10-bits ID system.
StanleyTM: works with all “Stanley
TM
radio” transmitters
transmitted at 310 MHz using 10-bits ID system.
