DESCRIPTION

The DRG-LV is a digital receiver designed for use with
automatic gate operators or systems where a remote ante nna
is needed. The DRG-2LV will operate two gates, one gate and
an obstacle sensor or channel one can open the gate and
channel two can close the ga t e.

All of the Delta-3 transmitters, including the two and
four-channel transmitters, are compatible with the the DRG.
The Delta-3 radio format provides 256 different digital codes.
The codes are set using the 8-position coding switches in the
units. In order to avoid the possibility of duplicating codes in
adjacent systems, factory set codes should not be used.

The receivers can operate from 10.2-16 VDC or 12-16 VAC
and are normall y pow ered f rom th e gate oper ator . The relay
contact(s) are rated at 5 amps @ 30 volts AC/DC NEC Class
2 circuit.

The DRG has a “F” connector for attaching an antenna. The
receiver is supplied with a 9-inch local antenna, a three foot
75 ohm coaxial cable, and a bulkhead connector for
mounting the antenna outside the gate operator enclosure.

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 limite d range .
A receiver cannot resp ond to more than one trans mitted 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 modific at io ns t o t he dev ice may void FCC c ompl ia nce.

✶

Infrequently u sed radio link s should be tes ted regularly to pro tect against undetected

✶

interference or fault.
A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a

✶

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