If you have a group of 9 switches with 3 positions per switch (TRINARY):
- Switch in the UP position = Press button 1
- Switch in the MIDDLE position = Press button 2
- Switch in the DOWN position = Press button 4

If you have a group of 9-12 switches with 2 positions per switch (BINARY):
- Switch in the UP position = Press button 1
- Switch in the DOWN position = Press button 4
In this example, the button presses would be:
STEP 1: Each shaded box below represents a DIP switch position. In these boxes, write in the number 1, 2 or 4 as it corresponds to the UP, MIDDLE or DOWN switch position you see on the remote, opener head or receiver.
- Switch in the UP position = write a “1”
- Switch in the MIDDLE position = write a “2”
- Switch in the DOWN position = write a “4”
Each box should contain a 1, 2, or 4. Each box should correspond to the position of the switch on your remote opener head or receiver. If you have less than 12 switches, only fill in what you have.
