Transmitter & Receiver Troubleshooting Guide:
Problem:
Motor does not operate, or works intermittently.
Possible Solutions:
Check that the batteries are properly installed.
•
Check that connections to the Receiver are securely plugged in.
•
Check that the power switches on both the Receiver and Transmitter are in the “ON”
•
position.
Let the unit sit without operating for a few minutes, and see if problem persists.
•
Motors have internal protection which will shut down the motor to protect it from
–
overload.
Problem:
One motor is running opposite of the desired direction
Solution:
Reverse the direction of the motor plug that connects to the Receiver. (See previous page.)
•
Problem:
System has limited signal range (less than 150 feet).
Possible Solutions:
Check that the Transmitter Antenna is completely extended and secured tightly into the
•
Transmitter.
Check that batteries in Transmitter and Receiver are sufficiently charged.
•
Low batteries can result in intermittent/reduced performance!
–
Check for objects (walls, doors, appliances, heating ducts, etc) that could block radio
•
transmissions between the Transmitter and the Receiver.
Metal objects will cause the most signal block, but other objects will degrade the signal
–
as well.
