SETTING CLOSED LIMIT POSITION

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

With gate in the open position, (arm retracted) turn the 
control box ON/OFF switch to the off position. Press and 
hold the transmitter while sliding the ON/OFF switch to the 
ON position and you will hear a single or a series of beeps 
followed by a pause then a single beep. At that point release 
the transmitter button. This process may take 8 - 10 seconds.

Press and release the learned transmitter button; gate should 
start closing.  When the gate reaches the desired CLOSED 
position, press and release the transmitter button again.  
NOTE: If your gate stops and reverses before it fully closes, you 
may need to increase the stall force. (See 

page 10

)

Press and release the transmitter button again; gate should 
start opening.  Once the gate reaches the OPEN position, a 
single audible alarm will sound to indicate the limit is set.

Gate operator’s closed position is now set. Press and release 
transmitter to close gate for normal operation.

ON/OFF Switch

Replace and secure back cover of the opener remote.

Turn off control box. Press and hold a transmitter button while sliding 
the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Continue to hold transmitter 
button for 8 - 10 seconds. You will hear a single or a series of beeps, 
followed by a pause then a single beep. Release transmitter’s button. 
Your personal code is now programmed. 

NOTE

: The button you chose 

will be the button used to operate your system.

•  An infinite number of the transmitters can be used, provided that 

the dip switches are set to match one another.

Flip opener remote over. Use small screwdriver to move switches 
to random positions. If you have more than one transmitter, now 
is a good time to set them all with the same code.
