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.
The TriCodeTMdigital receivers are designed for use
with automatic garage/gate operators and access
TM
control systems. All TriCode
products may be
matched with Linear/Delta-3TM, Multi-CodeTM, and
StanleyTMradio products which may already be
installed.
TM
The TriCode
1024 different digital codes. For Linear/Delta-3
radio format provides a potential of
TM
compatible products, 256 different digital codes are
available. The codes are set using 10-position DIP
switch system.

POWER SWITCH SETTINGS
CAUTION:
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).
To avoid possibility of duplicating
Step 1 Power Supply Selection Setting
The Tri-codeTMreceiver is factory set for 24 volt power
input if 12 volt is required.
Remove back cover of receiver by removing screws.
Set jumper to the 12 volt setting (Refer to figure 1).

OUTPUT RELAYS, CONFIGURATION & DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Step 2 Setting Output Relay Mode
The TriCodeTMreceiver 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 receive a
matching/valid ID code from the transmitter (Refer to
figure 4).
NOTE: If constant pressure mode is desired, open
front cover and move mode jumper from “MNT” to
“CST” (Refer to figure 2).
Step 3 Setting the Configuration Switch
TM
The TriCode

receiver is factory set for Linear/Delta-
Locate the configuration switch and set it to the desired
RF mode of operation
(Refer to figures 2 and 4)
. Modes
are as follows:
Linear/Delta-3TM:
works with all “Linear/Delta-3TM”
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
TM
installation using TriCode
transmitters, randomly set
switches matching those of the transmitter. Never use
factory settings. If receiver is used with Linear/Delta 3
TM
Multi-codeTMor 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
TM
setting on the TriCode
DIP switch (Refer to figures 3
and 4).
TM
Note: In 'LINEAR/DELTA-3
' mode (8-bits system)
the last 2 bits (DIP #9 & 10) settings are ignored.
They can be left in either ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ settings.

POWER CONNECTIONS
Step 5 Power Supply Connections
The receiver is connected to the opener via external
screw terminals labeled 1, 2 and 3 (Refer to figure 5).
TERMINAL 1 = COMMON
TERMINAL 2 = OUTPUT RELAY
TERMINAL 3 = POWER INPUT
If the three terminals allign with three matching
terminals on the operator, use the piggyback clips for
screw to screw attachment. If spacing is different or
not marked, use the wiring diagram in Figure 5.
