Merlin E8003 3 Channel Universal Receiver User Manual
APPLICATION
The receiver can be used as a single or three channel receiver to control up to 3 gates, commercial operators or residential door openers. The receiver can also be used with a 3-button remote control to operate the OPEN, CLOSE and STOP feature on a commercial door operator.
Each channel is compatible with a specified number of remote controls and keypads. Refer to the list below:
- CH1: 50 remote controls and 2 separate keypads
- CH2: 20 remote controls and 2 separate keypads
- CH3: 20 remote controls and 2 seperate keypads
Normally Open dry contact outputs. CH3 has both Normally Open & Normally Closed dry contact outputs.
When the channel has reached full capacity for remote controls, all LEDs will blink 3 times. When the channel has reached full capacity for keypads, all LEDs will blink 4 times. Additional accessories can be programmed, however, the newly programmed accessory will replace the first programmed accessory.
NOTE: The receiver will only allow you to program a button on the remote control to one channel at a time. For example, if the button on the remote control or keypad is already programmed to channel 1 and then is programmed to channel 3, the button will be erased from channel 1 and will only work on channel 3.
Momentary Closure: The outputs are automatically programmed for a momentary closure of 0.4 seconds when using hand held remote controls E970M, etc.
Constant Closure Output: The outputs are automatically programmed to
remain closed when receiving a constant signal (press & hold) only when using
Keypads and Wireless Wall Controls, E840M, E148M, E138M etc.
INSTALLATION
The receiver and antenna use TV Type F coaxial connectors. The antenna can be connected directly to the receiver or it can be installed remotely using a coaxial cable extension kit (Model G86LMT, 7.6m).
- Select a location for the receiver which allows access to the terminals and space for the antenna. Ensure antenna does not touch metal surfaces. DO NOT bend or fold the antenna.
- Fasten the receiver securely with the hook and loop fasteners (provided) or screws (not provided).
- After installation is complete, connect power. You may use a wired-in transformer, or power provided from your operator (9-30 V AC,12-40 Vdc).
WARNING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution:
- Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing the receiver.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate or garage door:
- ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER permit
children to operate, or play with remote control transmitters.
- Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
- ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate or door.
WARNING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, the use of CONSTANTOPERATION on residential openers is PROHIBITED. When a receiver is used to activate a commercial door opener, a reversing edge MUST be installed on the bottom of the door. Failure to install a reversing edge under these circumstances may result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to persons trapped beneath the door.
