This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and IC
Canada Rules and Regulations. 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.
F.C.C. rules prohibit adjustments to or modification of
receiver and/or remote control transmitter circuitry
except for changing the code setting and replacing
remote control transmitter battery. THERE ARE NO
OTHER SERVICEABLE PARTS.

POWER & OUTPUT RELAY SWITCH SETTINGS
CAUTION:
To avoid 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 feet 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
Supplied). 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.
Step 1 Power Supply Selection Setting
TM
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
(Refer to figure 1).
Step 2 Setting Output Relay Mode
TM
The TriCode
receiver is factory set for momentary
relay output “MNT”.
(a) Momentary mode: The output relay will be on for
.5 seconds before turning off.
(b) 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 received a
matching/valid ID code from the transmitter.
If constant pressure mode is desired, move mode
jumper from “MNT” to “CST” (Refer to figure 1).
NOTE: The relay output is an isolated normally open
contact.

The TriCode
Linear/Delta-3
receiver is factory set for
TM
.
Locate the configuration switch and set it to the
desired RF mode of operation
4)
. Modes are as follows:
Linear/Delta-3TM:
works with all “Linear/Delta-3TM”
(Refer to figures 2 and
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 “StanleyTMradio”
transmitters transmitted at 310 MHz using 10-bits ID
system.

Step 4 Setting DIP Switch
The TriCodeTMreceiver DIP switch is factory set OFF
(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 settings. If
TM
receiver is used with Linear/Delta 3
, Multi-code or
StanleyTMtransmitters, match the receiver DIP switch
to the above transmitters. Some transmitters may
use toggle switches and it may be difficult to
determine on & off. If so, try reversing the setting on
TM
the TriCode
DIP switch (Refer to figures 3 and 4).
Note: In 'LINEAR/DELTA-3TM' mode (8-bits system)
the last 2 bits (DIP #9 & 10) settings are ignored.
They can be left in either ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ settings.
