GARAGE BUTLER

The ACT-21 and ACT-22 digital transmitters are wireless radio controls designed for use with AM/II or AccessPro receivers. In addition the MegaCode code is compatible with Linear MegaCode receivers and can be used with MDR type garage door and gate receivers.

The MegaCode radio format provides unparalleled security the format provides more than 1 million different codes.

MegaCode transmitters and receivers do not contain a typical "coding switch". Each transmitter is permanently coded at the factory to a unique code. The receiver’s programmed by "learning" the transmitter’s unique code. The receiver will activate only from these "memorized" transmitters.

Block coded versions of these transmitters (ACT-21 and ACT-22) can be ordered from the factory. Block codes are divided up as 16 facility codes and 65,500 sequential local ID Codes. This will save time when programming and maintaining large numbers of transmitters in an application.

The transmitters are powered by two 3 Volt "button" batteries, (type CR1616, CR1620, DL1620 or equivalent). The batteries should last up to 5 years with normal use.

            Moving Door can cause serious injury or death.

·         DO NOT install transmitter unless the door operator’s safety reverse works as required by the door operator’s manual.

·         Wall control must be mounted in sight of door, at least 5 feet above floor and clear of moving door parts.

·         Keep people clear of opening while door is moving.

·         DO NOT allow children to play with the transmitter or door operator.

·         Close door then disconnect operator using the manual release handle.

·         DO NOT use transmitter or door operator.

·         Refer to Door and Door Operators Owner’s Manuals before attempting any repairs.

MDR/MDRNR/MDR2 Program button and Led Location. Locate the program button and LED on the side of the receiver case.

Momentarily press the receiver’s program button (channel one or two). The red programming LED will light if there’s room in the receiver’s memory. A transmitter must be entered while the LED is on. Press the desired transmitter button. The LED will flicker indicating that the receiver has accepted the transmitter.

NOTE: Be sure to press the receiver program button for less than 2 months.

NOTE: The programming LED also monitors radio signals entering the receiver. It is common to see an occasional blink from the LED. The LED will also light when any transmitter tuned to the receiver’s frequency (programmed into the receiver or not) is activated.

Repeat the steps above for each transmitter used with the receiver. Be sure to press the receiver’s program button each time a new transmitter or a different transmitter button on a multi-button transmitter is pressed. If the LED doesn’t come on when the receiver’s program button is pressed, the receiver’s memory is full. Use the erase function to remove transmitters from the receiver’s memory. (Refer to # 6 Erasing Receiver Memory).

Press and hold the receiver’s program button (channel one or two) until the LED begins to flash or flashes. The number of flashes equals the number of transmitters programmed into the channel of the receiver.

Be sure door area is clear. Activate each transmitter. The receiver relay should click, (relay output models only) and the operator should activate. Wait 2 seconds between each activation.

Transmitters may be erased for the receiver’s memory by pressing and holding the receiver’s program button (channel one or two) for 5 seconds or more. After the Led blinks (count of transmitters) it will blink one more time for channel one and twice for channel 2 as the receiver’s memory for that channel is erased. All transmitters for each receiver channel are erased at the same time.

Open the case. Remove the two retaining screws from the rear of the case. Hold the case halves together and flip the transmitter over. Lay the unit on a table with the button(s) facing up. Carefully remove the case top.

Remove the board. WARNING: Hold board by edges only. Very carefully remove the circuit board and set it aside. Notice how the batteries are placed in the bottom case of the transmitter.

Replace the batteries. Remove the old batteries noting their location and placement. Replace the batteries with fresh type CR1616, CR1620, or DL1620 batteries. Both batteries must be the same type. WARNING: Do not install batteries backwards this will damage this unit. Be sure battery springs are in place. The battery closest to the key ring loop should be minus (-) side up, the battery near the board alignment posts should be plus (+) side up. Replace fresh batteries on springs, in battery holder.

Carefully place the circuit board into the case over the batteries. Align the board on the two case alignment posts. Hook the top case onto the bottom case and squeeze the case together. Flip the case over and replace the two case screws Test the transmitter for proper operation.

IMPORTANT!!!

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 limited range.

A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitter 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 modifications in the device may void FCC compliance.

Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against unidentified interference or fault.

A general knowledge of radio and the vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate user.
