INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MODEL 3083

TWO CHANNEL MINI-TRANSMITTER

Congratulations! You have just purchased a Mini-Code Digital Transmitter, which we believe to be the finest product of its kind on the market. With a little care this transmitter should provide you with many years of excellent service. Please take a moment to read the following instructions and you will find that setting your new transmitter will be quite an easy matter.

ACCESSING THE CODE SWITCH AND BATTERY COMPARTMENT

The model 3083 two channel Mini-transmitter case is composed of 2 halves which are held together by a small phillips head screw. Removing this screw will allow access to the code switches and the battery compartment (see diagram #1).

SELECTING A CODE

Before placing your transmitter into service, we urge you to set your code in order not to interfere with neighboring systems and to provide security for your own system. We strongly urge that several coding schemes be avoided: ALL ON; ALL OFF; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ON; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ON. These positions are similar to our or other manufacturer’s test positions, or are frequently used.

You will note that the model 3083 transmitter has two, ten position code switches

(Note: the switches are in the “on” position when the switch is depressed toward the number,

see diagram #2). In order to simplify coding of your

transmitter as much as possible, observe the following:

If you have two single channel receivers:

transmitter so that code switch #1 will match receiver #1. Set code switch #2 on the transmitter to match receiver #2 (see diagram #1).

If you have a MULTI-CODE 3021 or 3028 two channel receiver:

Set the receiver and both transmitter code switch positions 1-9 to match. The tenth position on your transmitter code switches are used for channel selection. Channel 1 on the receiver is selected by moving the tenth position of code switch #1 on the transmitter to the off (open) position. Channel 2 on the receiver is selected by moving the tenth position of code switch #2 on the transmitter to the on (closed) position. Once the codes have been set, check the operation and reassemble the transmitter case.

MINI-TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION

This transmitter is completely self contained, including battery and can be operated while held in hand or while mounted in the car. It is supplied with “hook and loop” fabric for easy mounting or it may be added to your keychain using the slot provided.

TRANSMITTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT

OPERATIONAL CHECK

To check operation, move back a reasonable distance (about 50 ft.) and press the transmitter button. Operation should be reliable at this distance but environment and location of both the transmitter and receiver will affect the range. If the transmitter is stowed well out of sight, it may be necessary to remove it from its mounting and hold near the windshield. Try different locations and positions. If operation is still unsatisfactory, the problem may be isolated by:

1. Checking the door operator. If the door will not open when the wall button is pressed, the problem is likely to be the operator. If the door will open by pressing the wall button, but not when the radio control button is pressed, the problem is probably in the radios.

2. Replacing the transmitter battery. If, after performing the above operational checks, the controls still do not function, they should be returned to your dealer for repair or replacement.

WARRANTY

All MULTI-CODE door related products carry a eighteen (18) month warranty against defects in workmanship or material. This warranty begins at the date of manufacture, for eighteen
