DESCRIPTION

The MCT-1 and MCT-2 MegaCode digital transmitters are wireless radio controls designed for use with automatic garage/gate operators.

The MegaCode radio format provides unparalleled security. The format provides more than a million different codes.

MegaCode transmitters and receivers do not contain a typical “coding switch”. Each transmitter is permanently coded at the factory to a unique code. The receiver is programmed by making it “learn” the transmitter’s unique digital code. The receiver will activate only from these “memorized” transmitters.

The transmitters are powered by a 9-volt battery. It should last 12 to 18 months with normal use. The red LED on the face of the transmitter will glow when the unit is activated. When it lights dimly, or not at all when transmitting, the battery needs to be replaced.

To conserve battery life, an internal timer limits the transmission duration to 10 seconds if a transmitter button is held down.

STEP 1

Program transmitter into receiver.

Refer to the instructions provided with the receiver to set it into a “learning” mode. Activate the transmitter to program it into the receiver. (Learn both buttons, one at a time on the MCT-2 units.)

IMPORTANT !!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

✶ For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and

Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

✶ A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may

be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.

✶ Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.

Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected

✶

interference or fault.

✶ A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a

wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.

REPLACE BATTERY WITH FRESH 9-VOLT BATTERY
