Clicker K3 Quick Manual

FEATURES

Congratulations! The Clicker Model K3 you have purchased is one
of the most unique keypad transmitters available. It is compatible
with

most

garage door opener systems manufactured by

Chamberlain

®

, Genie®, Lift-Master®, Linear®, Master Mechanic®,

Moore-O-Matic

®

, Multi-Code®, Sears®, Stanley®, and Wayne Dalton®.

Please note that the K3 is

not

compatible with rotating code systems
such as Intellicode™ or Security+™, developed by several of these
manufacturers since 1996.

The Clicker K3 can be programmed to operate one or two garage
door openers, including different brands. When used with two doors,
each door is programmed separately, with separate Personal
Identification Numbers (PINs).

In addition, the K3 must be programmed to your system’s security
code. If your system uses code switches, you must match the
existing code. If your system does not use code switches but

does

have a smart button, you may enter any random 9 digit code into
the K3, then program your system’s receiver to accept this code. All
programming is done through the keypad.

When properly programmed, the K3 will open your garage door
when your PIN, plus any additional number, is pressed. The keypad
remains active for approximately 30 seconds after the last button is
pushed. During this interval you may stop or reverse a moving door
by pushing any numbered key.

If you press an incorrect number, wait 30 seconds and start over.
We suggest you first read through the instructions in their entirety,

then return to Part 1. Follow instructions carefully.
Do not install the unit until programming is completed and tested

from the intended location.

PART 1 – IDENTIFYING YOUR EXISTING BRAND AND CODE

Step 1: Place an X in Table 1 below next to the brand of your
opener. If you are programming your K3 for more than one door
opener, place an X next to the brand you will program first.

Table 1

___1 Linear, Moore-O-Matic (8 code switches)
___2 Stanley (10 code switches)
___3 Multi-Code (10 code switches)
___4 Sears, Chamberlain, Lift-Master, Master Mechanic,

Wayne Dalton (9 code switches or none; only these brands

may

have a smart button)
___5 Genie (9 code switches)
___6 Genie (12 code switches)

Step 2: Determine whether your system uses code switches.
Depending on your brand, you may have 8, 9, 10 or 12. They are
usually located on the opener receiver panel (perhaps under the
lamp cover). The receiver is normally attached to the garage door
opener, or mounted on a wall and wired to the opener. Your existing
remote will have matching code switches inside the case. The
illustration shows a receiver panel and remote with 9 code switches.

•

If your system has code switches

you must program the K3 to
match the existing code. Proceed to Table 2 or 3, depending on
your brand.

•

If your Chamberlain, Lift-Master, Master Mechanic, Sears, or
Wayne Dalton receiver does not have code switches,

choose
any random 9 digit code to program the K3. Use Table 2 and enter
a setting of 1, 2, or 3 for each column. Fill only 1 box per column,
and ignore the table instructions pertaining to code switches. Then
proceed to

PART 2 – PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES.

Examine the code switches on your receiver. This table is 9 columns
across, one for each code switch. Place a “1” in each box that
corresponds with a switch in “+” position. Place a “2” in each box
that corresponds with a switch in “0” position. Place a “3” in each
box that corresponds with a switch in “–” position. Fill only 1 box
per column.

Examine the code switches on your receiver or remote. It will have
either 8, 9, 10, or 12 code switches. Place a “1” in each box that
corresponds with a switch in the “on” or “up” position. Place a “2”
in each box that corresponds with a switch in the “off” or “down”
position. Fill only 1 box per column, and only as many columns as
you have code switches. See example below.

NOTE: Some Stanley and Multi-Code units label their code switches
open and close. For Clicker coding purposes,

Close = on, Open = off .

Example of a Stanley with 10 code switches:

Step 3: Verify the code numbers you entered in the table to be sure
they match your system’s code. Then proceed to

PART 2 – PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES

A. PROGRAMMING YOUR PIN
Step 1: Choose a 3-digit PIN using any combination of numbers

from 0 to 9.
Step 2: Replace the existing PIN (factory set at 123 for Door 1 and

a. Press numbers 1, 2, and 3 (for Door Two, press 4, 5, 6)
b. Press the ✽ key.
c. Press your new 3-digit PIN.
d. Press the ✽ key again.
Wait 30 seconds before proceeding to B.

(NOTE: To change PINs in the future, see Part 3 – Information.
It will not be necessary to repeat B. PROGRAMMING YOUR
SECURITY CODE.)

B. PROGRAMMING YOUR SECURITY CODE
Step 1: Enter your PIN into the keypad.
Step 2: Press the # key.
Step 3: Press one of the following number keys, depending on your

system brand as checked in Table 1:

• 1 (Linear, Moore-O-Matic)

• 2 (Stanley)

replace battery.

PART 3 – INSTALLATION

AND GENERAL INFORMATION

MOUNTING THE K3

Select a smooth vertical surface in a location out of the path of the
moving garage door, but within sight of it. You will need a clearance
of at least 4-1/2 inches above the keypad for the cover.

Remove the slide up keypad cover and the battery cover. Remove
the battery from its compartment (it is not necessary to disconnect
it). Mount the keypad using the screws supplied, then replace
components.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The keypad should light up and remain illuminated for approximately
6 seconds after a number is pressed. Replace the 9 volt battery
when the keypad lamps become dim. Slide the keypad cover up into
the stop position. Unscrew the battery cover and replace battery.

Memory is not lost when the battery is removed.

INFORMATION

• Entering an incorrect PIN will lock out the unit for 30 seconds.

• To change your PIN:

a. Press your existing PIN.
b. Press the ✽ key.
c. Press your new 3 digit PIN.
d. Press the ✽ key again.

When changing PINs in the future, it is not necessary to re­program your security code.

CAUTION

Use of this wireless keypad should be limited to responsible

adults. Automatic Gate and Garage Door systems are
dangerous. They can cause great bodily harm and injury and can
result in death. Always exercise caution when using wireless
keypads. Do not operate keypad to activate a gate or door unless
you can see that the area is clear. Always keep children away from
automatic doors and gates.
