INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Model 2031, 3021, and 3028 2 Channel Receivers

WARNING:

• Disconnect power before any installation or repair.

• Wear safety glasses.

Congratulations! You have purchased a MULTI-CODE
RECEIVER, which we believe to be the finest product of
its kind on the market. If you take a moment to read the
enclosed instructions, we think that you will find installa­tion of your receiver to be quite an easy matter, and will
assure reliable operation.

INSTALLATION

Your Receiver may be mounted in the operator head, if
space permits, or remotely, if this becomes necessary.
Note that all wires should be routed th rough the strain relief
fitting or rubber grommet of the cabinet, except for the
antenna lead.

Begin your installation by correctly wiring the receiver to
the devices you will be using.

FAMILIAR WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT THE MANU­FACTURER OF YOUR EQUIPMENT HAS PROVIDED,
SINCE, IN MANY CASES, THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL
DETERMINE THE WAY IN WHICH THE RECEIVER WILL BE
INSTALLED.

Note that on the top half of your cabinet you will find a
terminal designation schematic. This schemat ic is reproduce d
below for your reference (figure 1)

SPARE

Back the screws on the terminal block off slightly and insert
your wiring lugs (or wire) under the appropriate set screw.

On the block there are two terminals marked spare. These
terminals are not functional, and may be disregarded.

The two positions marked 24 VAC are used to attach your
power supply. If you find that your operator supplies only
110 VAC, then contact LINEAR CORPORATION for the
1092-01 power supply, and we will provide an adapter for
110 to 24 Volt use.

The next three positions, above the 24 VAC positions, pro­vide channel 1 selection. Selection of Channel 1 on the
transmitter is made by setting the n umber 10 DIP switch to
the open position. You must then choose to wire the first
channel to a NORMALLY OPEN or NORMALLY CLOSED cir­cuit. To determine this, consul t the manufact urer ’s instr uc­tions, as previously noted. Refer to your transmitter
instructions for coding instruc tions. Now att ach the second
wire from your device to common.

Above the channel 1 positions you will see the positions
which allow channel 2 to be wired. Channel two is wired in
the same manner as channel one, wi th the exception of the
transmitter code switch number 10 being placed in the
closed or on position.

You will note that the two channels on the receiver may be
used in any combination of NORMALLY OPEN or NOR­MALLY CLOSED devices.

At this point you should mount your receiver to its perma­nent installation, if you have not already done so. If you
have a 3021 receiver be sure to tightly secure the strain
relief fitting through which the wires are routed as this
provides a degree of water resistance. Should you desire
a watertight connection, use a single length of 16 to 22 gauge
jacketed cable.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

After you have mounted your receiver, test it with the
enclosed antenna for range, noting the coverage that you
get from all desired operating locations. If greater range or
coverage pattern is ne cessary, you may choo se the MULTI­CODE 1066 Coaxial Wiring Kit, which is available from
LINEAR CORPORATION. Note that the external antenna
coupling uses a TYPE F antenna fitting. If necessary, you
may use TYPE F fittings found where television antennas
are sold, along with 75 ohm antenna wire. It is not advis­able to use lengths greater than 20 feet, as this may affect
range or tuning.

CODING

Before you begin to use your MU LTI- C ODE R ECEI VER YOU
MUST SET THE CODING SWITCH. In order to set the code ,
refer to figure 2.

FIGURE 2

To gain access to the switch, rem ove the top s ection of t he
cabinet, if you hav e not already done so, Using a pencil, or
other similar device, move the code switches to set your
house code. Positions one through nine on most MULTI­CODE transmitters are us ed to set the hou se c ode.

NOTE:
THE MULTI CODE 4120 TWO CHANNEL TRANSMITTER OR
4140 FOUR CHANNEL TRANSMITTER REQUIRES A DIF­FERENT CODE SELECTION. REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE
INSTRUCTIONS IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT AS TO CORRECT
SETTING.

Setting code switch 10 on your transmitter will determine
channel one or channel two. If the number 10 DIP switch is
set in the OPEN o r OFF position, you have channel one, if
the second channel is desired, then set the transm itter DIP
switch number 10 to the CLOSED or ON position.

We strongly urge that you avoid the following code
schemes: ALL ON, ALL OFF, 2 4 6 8 on 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 on.
These codes are frequently used by other manufacturers,
and create the possibility of false operation, and may be
less secure than other code arrangements.

BE SURE TO SET THE FIRST NINE SWITCHES ON YOUR
RECEIVER EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE TRANSMITTER.

Be certain to check that each cod e is functional before com­pleting the installation.

ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

LINEAR CORPORATION has taken ev ery possible pr ecau­tion to make the 3021 Receiver as relia ble as possible. The
circuit board is coated with a special water resistant treat­ment. We think the following notes should be observed:

•

Be sure the unit is sealed from moisture, and, if at all
possible, keep it away from direct moisture.

•

If you are using the 3021 Receiver, make sure the seal
around the top of the cabinet and that the strain relief
of the 3021 prevents moisture from entering.

•

In those installations where vibration may be a factor,
be sure to use a fastening compound, such as LOC-



TITE

on the mounting screws to insure reliable

mounting.

•

If this, or any other equipment is being used in a safety
related device, be sure to test the entire system at the
time of installation, and at frequent intervals, to deter­mine that it is working properly.

OPERATION

We urge you to test your installation completely before
putting it into operation. Testing this receiver with the rest
of the system will save potential problems later on.

Note that two channels will not receive at the same time.
Each channel requires a distinct signal from a transmitter in
order to become activated.
