Accessories
Terminal Block
A variety of wired accessory items can be connected to the
terminal block such as Safety Infra-red Beams, wall switch,
door status indicator and more.
The terminal block also features and auxiliary output for
controlling other devices from your transmitter. These can
include: an alarm system, external lighting, or an automatic
gate.
Terminal connections are as follows (Fig. 40):
PWR (+ve)
IR (Safety Infra-red Beam input)
IR(0V) (Common for Safety Infra-red Beam)
COM (Common -ve ground for accessories)
OSC (Open/Stop/Close trigger)
AUX (Auxiliary output trigger)
Remote Aerial (Part No 062177)
Some sites cause poor radio reception. Particularly
problematic areas are those where there is a large amount
of metal, like an all steel garage, or an underground car
park with large masses of steel reinforced concrete. These
issues, and others, can create radio reception issues.
Poor radio reception will be noticed by a reduction in the
operating range of the transmitters.
You can evaluate whether fitting an external aerial will
benefit as follows:
test the maximum operating range of the transmitter
with the garage door closed; then
test the maximum operating range of the transmitter
with the garage door open.
If the range improves when the door is open you can install
a remote aerial kit to improve reception.
Mount the aerial to a suitable location on the outside of
the garage. Similar to a television aerial, the better the
mounting position the better the reception will be. Where
possible, mount the aerial as high as possible, away from
masses of metal and in a line of sight position to where you
normally use your transmitter.
