12-24V RECEIVER

WARNING:

• Disconnect power before any installation or repair.

Your Multi-Code Radio Controls are designed speciﬁ cally

for the remote control of industrial door or gate openers and

to give years of dependable service without adjustment.

SELECTING AN OPERATING FREQUENCY

Place the shunt on the 2 pins of P1 that correspond with

the desired frequency of operation. P1 is labeled “Multi” for

300 MHz operation and “Stanley” for operation at 310 MHz.

NOTE: If the shunt is not used, and the pins of P1 are left

open, the default frequency is 310 MHz.

SELECTING A CODE

The code is determined by the positions of the 10 small

switches numbered 1 through 10 located on the receiver

board. Set these code switches to match the transmitter’s

code switches. To gain access to the switches, remove the

rear section of the case by squeezing the side.

Any combination of ON (CLOSED) or OFF (OPEN)

positions can be selected by using a pointed object such as

a small screwdriver or paper clip. We strongly urge that you

avoid the following code schemes: ALL ON, ALL OFF, 2, 4,

6, 8, 10, ON or 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ON. These codes are frequently

used by other manufacturers, and create the possibility of

false operation, and may be less secure than other code

schemes.

OPEN

CODE SWITCH

The MC302850, two-channel receiver has only 9 code

switches. Set them to match switches 1-9 on the transmitter.

The channel of operation is determined by the position of

switch 10 on the transmitter (OFF- CH1, ON-CH2).

Be certain to check that the code is functional before

completing the installation.

INSTALLATION

The receiver comes equipped with an F-connector

receptacle and an antenna with an F-connector plug. The

antenna can be plugged directly into the receptacle, or it

can be moved away from a metal structure, or to an outside

location for better receiver performance by using the coaxial

cable which is included.

Begin your installation of the receiver by correctly wiring

the receiver to the devices you will be using. WE URGE

YOU TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS

THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

HAS PROVIDED. SINCE, IN MANY CASES, THESE

INSTRUCTIONS DETERMINE THE WAY IN WHICH THE

RECEIVER SHOULD BE INSTALLED.

The receiver should be mounted near the opener power

head and can be installed in any position by using screws

and the two slots in the cover ﬂ anges. Select a location and

position that permits access to the terminals and space for

the antenna as clear of metal structures as possible and

preferably in a vertical position.

Wire the red and black wires to the power source.

The input voltage is: 12.0 - 30 AC

10.6 - 30 VDC (Red + Black -)

Connect the remaining gray wires as speciﬁ ed by the

manufacturer of your operator. If such instructions do not

exist, wire the two gray wires in parallel with the pushbutton

terminals. If the operator has a three wire terminal, the

proper terminals will usually be marked “1” and “2” or “24V”

and “RELAY” .

At this point you should mount your receiver to its

permanent location, if you have not already done so.

The receivers come with the output wires connected

between the relay common and normally open contacts.

Normally closed contacts can be selected by moving the

channel’s output wire from the N.O. to the N.C. post on the

circuit board.

The output wires are:

Gray: Channel one

Yellow: Channel two

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

After you have mounted your receiver, test it with the

enclosed antenna for range, noting the coverage that you

get from all desired operating locations. If greater range

or coverage pattern is necessary, you may need the 1066

Coaxial Wiring Kit, which is available from your dealer. It is

not advisable to add lengths of coaxial cable greater than

20 feet, as this may affect range or tuning.

ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Linear Corporation has taken every possible precaution

to make the receiver as reliable as possible. We think the

following notes should be observed:

1. Be sure the unit is sealed from moisture, and, if at all

possible, keep it away from direct moisture.

2. In those installations where vibration may be a factor, be

sure to use a fastening compound, such as LOCTITE (TM)

on the mounting screws to insure reliable mounting.

OPERATIONAL CHECK

To check operation, move back a reasonable distance

(about 50 feet) and press the transmitter button. Operation

should be reliable at this distance but environment and

location of both the transmitter and receiver will affect the

range. If the transmitter is stowed well out of sight, it may be

necessary to remove it from its mounting and hold near the

windshield. Try different locations and positions. If operation

is still unsatisfactory, check the following:

1. The antenna must be connected to the receiver for

normal use.

2. If the opener fails to operate, check to see that 115 VAC

power is present. Check circuit breaker. Check for a system

power failure.

3. If the opener operates by pressing the wall button, but not

when the transmitter button is pressed, the radio controls

are probably at fault. Check to make sure both transmitter

and receiver code switches are set to the exact same code

since a difference of just one switch will prevent operation.

Check transmitter battery, location of the transmitter and

receiver installation.

4. Try mounting the antenna in a more favorable remote

location by utilizing the coaxial kit.

If, after performing the above operational check, it is

necessary to return the radio controls, return both the

transmitter and receiver to your dealer for repair or

replacement or they may be returned, postage prepaid,

directly to Linear Corporation.
