Digi-Code 5010 Garage Door Opener Controls Instruction Manual

Digi-Code 5010 Garage Door Opener Controls

WARNING

• Disconnect operator power before any installation or repair
• Always wear safety glasses

Your Digi-Code radio controls are designed specifically to remotely control a garage door opener from within an automobile and to give years of trouble-free service without adjustment. Because all radio controls are set with the even- numbered switches in the “ON” position when they leave the factory, it is recommended that a different code is selected and set at the time of installation. Please refer to the “Setting the Code Switch” section for instructions. The radio frequency (RF) portion of the controls, however, are tuned to standard frequencies and are thoroughly tested at the factory. This permits the addition or replacement of either the transmitter or the receiver by specifying the Model number and the RF frequency designated on the identification label. RF adjustments are not needed nor should any be attempted.

RECEIVER INSTALLATION

The receiver is designed to mount directly to the operator. It can be remotely installed if the operator terminal strip is not accessible, or if the power for the receiver is not obtainable from the operator. To direct mount the receiver, simply loosen the terminal screws on the operator and insert the two-way lugs from the receiver under the screw heads along the wall button wires, and tighten the screws (See Figure #1).

Place the antenna (a 10-inch black wire) in a vertical position as far from any metal as possible.

For remote installation, the receiver may be mounted near the operator’s head on a joist or the ceiling by using the mounting tab.  Slip-on connectors at one end of the adapter (not included) connect to the flat side of each spade lug on the receiver, and the spade connectors at the other end connect to the operator terminal.

Connect wires as follows:

• White wire to terminal “1” or “Common”
• Black wire to terminal “2” or “Relay”
• Red wire to terminal “3” or “24V Radio”
• Connect push button wires to terminals “1” and *2″ (See Figure #2)

SETTING THE (“RECEIVER”) OODE SWITCH – TO WORK WITH MODEL 5010 AND MODEL

5012 SINGLE BUTTON TRANSMITTERS

Use your finger to slide the “code switch hatch” from the receiver for accesS to the code switch. On the transmitter the entire front lower half of the case (“the battery hatch”) is removable. Use a coin or the curved end of the visor clip to disengage the lower half of the transmitter front. This will expose both the code switch and the battery compartment (See Figure #3A).

Model – 5010 (300MHz) or 5012 (31OMHz)

Set both code switches to the code of your choice, being sure both are set the same since a different setting of just one switch will prevent operation. The digital code is determined by the position of the 10 small switches numbered through 10 located in the receiver and the transmitter. Any combination of “on or “off positions can be selected by using a pencil or a pen. (Note: The switches are in the “on” position when the switch is set to the “on” side of the code switch. See Figure #3 above.

Once the codes have been set, check operation and reinsert the hatches.

SETTING THE TRANSMITTER CODE SWITCH – MODEL 5012 (only) TO WORK WITH EXISTING STANLEY GARAGE DOOR OPENERS
Set the transmitter code switches (See Figure #3A) to match the switches already set on the back of the garage door opener powerhead.

TRANSMITTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The battery in the transmitter can be checked or changed by removing the front lower half of the transmitter. Use a coin or the curved end of the visor clip to disengage the lower half of the transmitter front. This will expose the battery compartment. The replacement battery must be a 9-volt.

TO REPLACE OR ADD A SET
A replacement or new transmitter or receiver may be purchased by specifying the Model Number and the RF frequency designated on the serial tag label. The RF frequency is set at the factory and must not be adjusted in the field. The digital code can be matched to the companion receiver or transmitter by fol- lowing the “setting” procedures above.

OPERATIONAL CHECK

To check operation, move back about 50 feet and press the transmitter button. The operation should be reliable at this distance but the environment and location of both the transmitter and receiver will affect the range. Try different mounting locations and positions in the vehicle. If the operation is still undesirable, the problem may be isolated by:

1. Checking the door operator. If the door will not open when the wall button is pressed, the problem is likely to be the operator. If the door will open by pressing the wall button, but not when the radio control button is pressed, the problem is probably in the radios.
2. Replacing the transmitter battery If, after performing the above operational checks, the controls still do not function, they should be returned to your dealer for repair or replacement.
