Troubleshooting
All remote-control systems shipped by GAMA Electronics are 100% functionally tested just prior to shipment.
If your RF remote control system does not work out of the box, stops working or functions intermittently please take the following
steps to resolve common issues. Please note that you must be 2-3 feet away from the receiver when operating the remote control.
Operating within 2-3 feet may result in no operation or intermittent operation.
1. Replace the A23 12V Battery in the transmitter
·
The remote control can activate during shipping and drain the battery that is installed in the control. We send a
replacement battery with the system if this occurs.
2. Check the voltage supply at the receiver
·
The receiver is designed to function at 10-15VDC. Voltage on the (+) and (-) terminals on the control should be
within this range.
3. Reprogram the remote control
·
If the system is non-functional try to reprogram the remote control. The program may not have taken during the
programming process or the program button may have been pressed. If the program button is pressed the
memory of the remote controls programed to the receiver are erased.
4. Listen and look for functionality on the receiver.
·
The LED that is used for programming the system will illuminate when the receiver is activated. You will also hear
a “click” when the internal relays engage. If you can see the LED illuminate and you hear the relay “click” the issue
is most likely in the wiring or device being controlled.
5. Check your limit switches
·
The system is designed to work with 2 normally closed limit switches. If the control does not see a signal from a
limit switch it will not operate. Check the switches and the wires for loose connections or damage.

6. Add a long-range antenna
·
If the receiver is in an area that is averse to the reception of an RF signal, such as near a motor or in a metal
casing, a long-range antenna may solve the issue. Connect the antenna per the instructions on page 3 and mount
the antenna in an exposed area away from any motor.
