Gate Link Receiver/Transmitter Programming:

1.

 Make sure receiver and transmitters have power.

2

. Green power LED stays ON; CH 1 red LED will be blinking on 

receiver.

3

. To enter Learn mode, press the CH 1 Learn button for 1 sec. 

The red led remains ON and the amber status LED will blink.

4

. Activate the transmitting edge, the red and amber LEDs will 

alternately blink rapidly on receiver. Then the red LED will go out 
and the amber LED will remain ON.

5

. Channel 1 is now programmed. Repeat steps for Channel 2.

6

. To start over or erase programming, press and hold both 

LEARN buttons for 3 seconds. The LEDs will blink rapidly and 
then go into “fault” mode. Repeat the programming steps above.

An MGL-TX20 transmitter is 
needed for each channel of 
the receiver.
