Why won’t the Wireless Keypad accept a PIN number?
The Wireless Keypad Unit will not learn a PIN # if it is the same number as
the factory’s reset code.
Why won’t my new gate controller work?
Make sure that it was taught to the Wireless Keypad Unit (see
Activating a
new Gate Controller
). If you hear a four-
beep error tone, the Wireless
Keypad Unit did not mate with the Gate Controller. If the Gate Controller is
#2, 3, or 4, make sure that the corresponding ID is set with dipswitches 1&2,
in the Gate Controller (See
Basic Gate Control Unit Installation
)
I need the Manufacturer’s Reset Code; to reset my Wireless Keypad
Unit
The
Wireless Keypad Unit’s
serial number is printed on the inside of the
Wireless Keypad Unit’s
mounting plate. Call our Product Suppor
t staff at
888.679.7994, for the reset code. You MUST have the
Wireless Keypad
Unit’s
serial number handy, to receive the reset code. Simply enter the reset
code on the
Wireless Keypad Unit’s
keypad and after one minute, the unit
will clear its memory and
you may re-teach the Keypad System.
Why do I hear a warbling two-
tone error sound when I activate a Gate
Controller?
The
Wireless Keypad Unit
is not communicating with the GCU. The GCU
may be out of range. If the units work properly when close together,
the
GCU may need to be mounted higher off the ground or on a different
surface. Metal, trees, or masonry cause the most interference.
If the units do not work when close together, the
Wireless Keypad Unit
has
not mated with that GCU. Double-check the GCU
’s ID (as set with
dipswitches 1 ??2, and re-teach it.
My Oracle System Network has very short range
Short transmission range is usually related to interference. If there is a
conflicting 900-MHz radio transmitter near-
by, you may need to have the
Oracle
Wireless Keypad Unit
use an alternate group of channels. See:
Alternate Channel Group Selection
.
Stucco:
When used in a dwelling with stucco or cement walls, the
RF range is reduced greatly. The Oracle Repeater will solve this
issue. Place the repeater close to the house to mitigate this problem.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The beeping you hear is the OWK prompting you to enter a new
Master Pin Number.
On the Keypad, press:
Followed by your four digit Master PIN Number (for example):
A tone indicates that the unit has accepted your Master PIN
Number.
Note: Is a ‘Cancel’ button to cancel any call or key sequence.

4 – ¼ x 1 Steel Screws
4 – ¼ Washers
4 – ¼ Lock Nuts
4 – 8-32 X 1 5/8 Black Socket Assembly Screws
1 – Hex Key
The Oracle Wireless Keypad Unit has been designed specifically for
easy installation. After determining where you want the Wireless
Keypad Unit (OWK) to be mounted, just fasten the back panel to a
post or solid surface, using the included OWK mounting kit,
making
sure that is within easy reach of a visitor.
Place four ‘AA’ batteries in the OWK’s battery pack. You will hear a
periodic low-
volume beep, indicating that the unit is operational and
ready to be programmed with your secure master PIN number. Fo
r
longer battery life and better functionality, use lithium ‘AA’
batteries.
Install the front of the Wireless Keypad Unit onto the already
installed mounting plate, using the included Assembly screws and
hex key provided.
Utilizing Universal's newest wireless protocols, this keypad product line is
able to meet and exceed the most stringent security and environmental
requirements.
Ultra long Range,
Low Power Usage and its Two Way design, which
provides Confirmation Feedback
of Receiver Action make this system the
most robust available.

Sample Configuration 3:
Open, Close Gate and Verify Gate Status
Use this configuration when you wish to use the Reporter Gate System to open and
close your gate and check the gate’s actual status, connecting the Gate Controller
to a limit switch or external gate status indicator.
Enable or disable the Auto-close feature on your Automatic Gate Opener.
Connect Reporter Gate Controller Contacts 7 and 8 to “Strike Open”, “Open Only”,
“Remote” or a similarly named contact pair on your Automatic Gate Opener.
Please refer to your product-specific manual for wiring information.
Connect Contact 2 to Ground, COM, or (-) on your Automatic Gate Opener.
Flip Gate Controller Dipswitch #3 to the UP position to enable status checking.
If your Automatic Gate Opener
has a “Close” or “Close Only” contact pair (e.g.
connecting like a 3-
button station), connect Contacts 5 and 6 to the “Close”
contacts and flip Gate Controller Dipswitch #5 to the UP position.
If desired, enable Auto-close on the Gate Controller by flippi
ng Gate Controller
Dipswitch #6 to the UP position. If you use this feature, disable auto-
close on your
Automatic Gate Opener.
Connect terminals #3 and #4 across the “Gate Closed” limit switch. Polarity does
not matter.

Note:
To set the identity of
GCU #2, you would position
the dipswitches as seen
below.
You can use up to 4 GCU’s with each OWK utilized. If you use more than
1 GCU, the additional units must have their identity set. Changing
dipswitches #1 & #2 on the Gate Control Unit sets the Gate Controller
Identity. (See below.)
Open the GCU by holding the box/shell portion of the unit. Then, while
tilting the bottom section (where the wire is located), pull the box/shell off.
Insert 4 ‘AA’ batteries into the exposed battery holder.
Note: If used in locations that will be below -10°C (20°F), Lithium batteries
are recommended.
Note: Leave the box/shell off until after activation is complete.

Sample Configuration 1:
Open Gate Only
Use this configuration when you wish to use the Reporter Gate System as
an open-
only system, which automatically closes, based on a timer or a
magnetic loop.
Enable the Auto-close feature on your Automatic Gate Ope
ner. Connect the
Reporter Gate
Controller as shown in the Basic Gate Controller
Installation
diagram. Please refer to your product-
specific manual for wiring
information. On the Reporter Intercom, disable gate status checking (as
described above).
Sample Configuration 2:
Wiring to separate OPEN and CLOSE terminals
Use this configuration when you wish to use the Reporter Gate System to
open and close your gate and check the gate’s last known status, without
connecting to a limit switch or external gate status indicator.
Disable the Auto-close feature on your Automatic Gate Opener.
Connect Contact 2 to Ground, COM, or (-) on your Automatic Gate Opener.
Connect Reporter Gate Controller Contacts 7 and 8 to “Strike Open”, “Open
Only”, “Remote” or a
similarly named contact pair on your Automatic Gate
Opener. Please refer to your product-specific manual for wiring information.
If your Automatic Gate Opener has a “Close” or “Close Only” contact pair
(e.g. connecting like a 3-button station), connect C
ontacts 5 and 6 to the
“Close” contacts.

relay connections (often labeled COMMON and CYCLE
) that
connect to the two large OPEN/CLOSE
relay outputs on the Oracle
Gate Controller.
Note:
For more detailed installation information, refer to Appendix A
on pg. 15.
When you are ready to activate the GCU, press the LEARN button
on the GCU (see page 4 for location of the LEARN button), for one
second. The LED will light up solid for up to 20 seconds.
Within 20 seconds, on the GAP,
Enter your
Master PIN Number
(for example):
Followed by the Gate Controller’s Identity:
The GAP will give a double-
beep and the GCU LED will blink 3
short blinks to indicate a successful activation.
Note: If the GAP sounds a 4-
beep error tone or the GCU gives 3
double blinks, then chec
k the FAQ section for the possible
solution.
If you only have one GCU then you are finished and can proceed to
the next step. For additional GCU’s, repeat the process until all
GCU’s have been successfully activated.
Note: You can now assemble the GCU b
y snapping the
box/shell back onto the unit.

Selecting Gate Controller “ON” Time
For most connections to an Automatic Gate Opener, the default setting of ½

Close Feature
By enabling the Auto-
Close feature, the Gate Controller will attempt to close the
gate 45 seconds after it is opened. This feature will work better if your
configuration has at least one of the following elements:
Separate Open / Close Terminals,
A “Gate Closed” Sensor or limit switch, or
A “Gate Open” Sensor or limit switch
Otherwise, the Gate Controller must assume that the gate has not opened or
closed for any other device.

Warning:
Please remember safety! Do not enable auto-

pose a risk of entrapment, causing injury, death, or damage to vehicles.
NOTE:
To power an additional c ontact sensor t hat is NOT already connected to your gate system, short
terminal #3 to ground, connects the switch across terminals 3 and 4, and turn dipswitch #8 ON.
