Accessories
Step 17.1 - Terminal Block
A variety of wired accessory items can be connected to the 
terminal block such as Safety Infra-red Beams, electric key  
switch and more (Fig. 34).
The terminal block also features auxiliary output for 
controlling other devices from your transmitter. These can 
include: an alarm system, external lighting, or an automatic 
gate.
Terminal connections from top down are as follows:
30V PWR (+ve)
P.E (Safety Infra-red Beam input)
P.E 0V (0V for Safety Infra-red Beam) 
GND (Common -ve ground for accessories)
OPERATE (Open/Stop/Close trigger)
AUX OUT (Auxiliary output trigger) 
Step 17.2 - 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 fi tting an external aerial will 
benefi t 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. 
Step 17.3 - Electric Key Switch (Part No 
062738)
An electric key switch provides an alternative to using a 
transmitter. Each key turn cycles through an open/stop/close 
function. The electric key switch is also an external release 
mechanism - ideal for garages only with one entrance. To 
connect the switch to the opener’s terminal block refer to 
(Fig. 35) and the Electric Key Switch’s instruction sheet.
