4MegaCode® Receiver Owner Installation Instructions
Multiple Modes Of Control
The solid state relay outputs of the MegaCode® receiver can be controlled by
remote control transmitters, wired inputs and a programmable time clock. Each
output can be configured to be a steady state or flashing output
TrioCode™ Code Hopping Technology
Every time a TrioCode™ transmitter is used, a new security code is randomly
generated from over 4.29 billion possibilities. This greatly enhances the security
of the system and makes “code grabbing” a thing of the past.
These transmitters also overcome interference issues by simultaneously sending a
signal over three slightly different frequencies. Even if two of the three signals are
jammed, the system will still work.
Programmable Time Clock
The Time Clock can be used to override transmitter and trigger input control at various
times of the day on a weekly basis. An output can be forced on, forced off or released
for transmitter or trigger input control. The Time Clock has 32 programs which select the
output to be controlled and the time and days of the week it is to be activated.
Console
Incorporated into the MegaCode® receiver is a simple to use console which consists of several
buttons and a display. With the addition of the console, facilities which were only available on previous
receivers using an additional hand held programmer are now available as standard via a simple menu system.
Features include editing transmitter storage and names, setting various parameters, and performing system
diagnostics.
Security Code Store
The MegaCode® receiver uses state of the art technology in storing your selected transmitter security codes.
Up to 511 different transmitters can be stored in the memory with the facility to assign an 11 character ID
label to each transmitter.
Features
Thank you for purchasing the Automatic Technology
MegaCode® Receiver. Designed by our renowned
engineers to suit garage doors and gate openers, the
MegaCode® Receiver will provide years of smart,
simple & secure convenience to your home.

Transmitter Management Flexibility
Whenever a large number of transmitters are used, managing those transmitter
effectively is of great importance. The MegaCode® receiver provides many
features which enhance transmitter management. Transmitters can be listed
by store location, group number, serial number or I.D label. Tools are available
which allow transmitters to be Replaced, Deleted and Edited. A quick
transmitter code set feature is provided which allows the button functions
of an existing transmitter to be copied to all transmitters to be coded. This
feature allows many transmitters to be coded without the need for the installer
to touch any console buttons during the coding process.
Status Indication
The status of the receiver outputs and the last event are displayed whenever the
main screen is shown. Information provided includes; the status of each output,
the last transmitter or input that was activated, the last output affected, the time
remaining before an output timer expires etc.
Password Protection
All operating parameters and transmitter storage can be protected from being changed
by unauthorised personnel by an optional password protection feature.
Vacation mode
A handheld transmitter can be programmed to lock and unlock all other transmitters that have been
programmed into the openers’ memory. The vacation mode can be used when the door is left idle for long
periods of time.

MEGA CODE RM01
Firmware 1.01
00:00:80 STD ---
OFF OFF OFF OFF
Receiver Supply
The MegaCode® receiver is designed to be powered
from 12V - 24VAC/DC. A suitable 12VDC plug pack also
can be used to power up the MegaCode® receiver.
Wiring Outputs
Each output is able to switch up to 40VAC/DC @
100mA. Each output consists of a solid state relay with
normally open (selectable to N/C) contacts. No internal
connections exist to the relay contacts so it may be
treated as a simple switch.
Wiring Inputs And Powering Up The Receiver
Each input is operated by a simple switch contact. Do
not apply any voltage to the inputs. The Trigger inputs
are normally open (selectable to N/C) inputs. After re-
checking all wiring, apply power to the receiver. The
receiver will go through a startup sequence displaying
the startup screen which indicates the receiver type and
firmware version (Fig. 1). After a short delay the main
screen will be displayed. This will show the current time
and day of the week on the top line. The bottom line
will show the output status starting with Output 1 on
the left through to Output 4 on the right (Fig. 2). Make
sure the time and day are set correctly.
Initial Electrical Installation
Coding Transmitters
The MegaCode® receiver can store up to five hundred
and eleven (511) transmitters in its memory. Each
transmitter can be allocated an alpha-numeric ID label up
to eleven (11) characters in length and each button can
be assigned to any channel. The settings for a transmitter
are represented in (Fig. 3). It shows the transmitter’s
store number, ID label or serial number and the functions
assigned to each of its four buttons. To toggle between
ID/SN display, press UP/DOWN with the cursor on the
ID/SN indicator.
Brand Of Transmitters
The first memory location sets the type of transmitters
which can be stored into the memory of the receiver.
It either can be Automatic Technology TrioCode™ or
B&D Tri-Tran™ transmitters. For example, if the first
transmitter stored is TrioCode™, then the rest of the
transmitters can only be the TrioCode™ type and mixing
of TrioCode™, Tri-Tran™ is not possible. The deletion of
all stored transmitter codes from the receivers memory
will allow you to choose either TrioCode™ or Tri-Tran™
transmitters again.
