SECTION 3 - ACESSORIES
3.1 - Remote Aerial – Part No 062177
Some sites can cause poor radio reception, ie
wherever there is a large mass of metal like all steel
garages or underground car parks (large masses of
steel reinforced concrete). Metal mass can cause the
radio signal to be reduced.
Poor radio reception will be noticed by a reduction in
the operating range of the remote control transmitters
used on this garage door opener.
You can test to evaluate if fitting an external aerial will
benefit as follows:
•
test the maximum operating range of the remote
control transmitter with the garage door closed;
then
•
test the maximum operating range of the remote
control transmitter with the garage door open.
If the range is improved with the door open then you
can install a remote aerial kit to improve the radio
reception.
Mount the aerial to a suitable location on the outside
of the garage. The radio receiver in your garage door
opener is similar to the receiver in your television
set; the better the position of the aerial, the better the
reception will be. Where possible, mount the aerial as
high as possible away from masses of metal and in
line of sight to the position where you would normally
operate your remote control transmitter.
3.2 - Terminal Block
A variety of wired accessory items can be connected to the
terminal block situated above the left hand LED light module.
You can connect devices such as a Safety Infra-Red Beam,
wall switch, door status indicator, etc.
The terminal block also features and auxillary output
for controlling other devices from your remote control
transmitter. These can include: an alarm system, external
lighting, or an automatic gate.
Terminal connections from top down are as follows:
1. GND (Ground, Common, -ve)
2. IR BEAM (Safety IR Beam Input)
3. 30V PWR (+ve)
4. OPERATE (Open/Stop/Close trigger)
5. CLS OUT (Door status indicator output)
