Chamberlain TriCode TC4 User manual

TriCodeTM
TC4 Four Channel Transmitter
The TriCodeTM digital TC4 transmitter is a four-channel
wireless radio control designed for use with automatic
garage/gate operators and access control systems. All
TriCodeTM products can be used with Linear/Delta-3TM ,
StanleyTM and Multi-CodeTM receivers. Two configuration
switches allow the four buttons to be configured to interface
with two different receiver types in the same transmitter.
The TriCodeTM radio format provides a potential of 2048
different digital codes. Two 10-position DIP switches, each
capable of 1024 different digital codes provide these codes.
For Delta-3TM products, 512 (256x2) different digital codes
are available.
CAUTION: To avoid possibility of duplicating codes
in adjacent systems, all transmitters should be
recoded prior to operation. Unless using the
maximum number of codes four codes should not
be used:
· All DIP Switches ON
· All DIP Switches OFF
· DIP Switches alternating ON/OFF
· DIP Switches alternating OFF/ON.

SWITCH SETTINGS
Step 2 Set Transmitter Configuration Switch(s)
The TriCodeTM Trasmitter is factory set to Linear/Delta-
3TM position.
Using a pointed object set transmitter configuration
switches to desired setting.
Step 3 Set Transmitter DIP Switch(s)
The TriCodeTM Transmitter DIP switch(s) are factory set,
CH1 OFF (1-10) and CH2 ON (1-10).
Using a pointed object set transmitter DIP switches to
desired setting. For Linear/Delta-3TM compatibility, set
codes on switches 1 through 8. Switches 9 and 10 are
not used for Linear/Delta-3 TM products. Table 1 on page
2 shows the relationship between each button and the
coding switches.
Note: Switches in receiver must match the switches
in all transmitters used to operate the receiver.
Some older radios use toggle switches and it may
be difficult to determine ‘ON’ & ‘OFF’. If so, try
reverse settings on the TriCodeTM
.
Step 1 Locate Switches and Connect Battery
Locate the DIP switches, configuration switches and
battery by sliding down access cover on front of the
transmitter case. DIP switches are numbered 1 through
10. The configuration switches are located to the right
of the DIP switches (Refer to figures 1, 2 and 3).
The battery is located below the switches. Connect the
battery connector to the 9V battery before programming
transmitter (Refer to figure 3).
ACTIVATE THE TRANSMITTER ONLY WHEN THE
DOOR / GATE IS IN FULL VIEW, FREE OF
OBSTRUCTION AND PROPERLY ADJUSTED. NO
ONE SHOULD ENTER OR LEAVE THE DOOR/ GATE
WHILE IN MOTION. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO
OPERATE THE REMOTE(S) OR THE DOOR/ GATE
CONTROL BUTTONS. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN
TO PLAY NEAR THE DOOR/ GATE.
CAUTIONCAUTION
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and IC
Canada Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
F.C.C. rules prohibit adjustments to or modification of
receiver and/or remote control transmitter circuitry except
for changing the code setting and replacing remote control
transmitter battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER
SERVICEABLE PARTS.

Step 4 Recode Receiver Codes
Once the transmitter codes have been set, verify the receiver codes are set to the following settings:
Linear/Delta-3TM Receiver Type Detail
When the TC4 is set to the Linear/Delta-3TM transmitter type, set the receiver DIP switches as follows.
Receiver 1 - Set switch 1-8 to match switch 1, activates from Button 1.
Receiver 2 - Set switches 1 and 2 OFF, match switches 3-8 on switch 2, activates from Button 2.
Receiver 3 - Set switch 1 ON, switch 2 OFF, match switches 3-8 on switch 2, activates from Button 3.
Receiver 4 - Set switch 1 OFF, switch 2 ON, match switches 3-8 on switch 2, activates from Button 4.
Multi-CodeTM Receiver Type Detail
When the TC4 is set to the Multi-CodeTM transmitter type, set the receiver DIP switches as follows.
Receiver 1 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 1.
Receiver 2 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 2.
Receiver 3 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 2, activates from Button 3.
Receiver 4 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on switch 2, activates from Button 4.
StanleyTM Radio Receiver Type Detail
When the TC4 is set to the StanleyTM radio transmitter type, set the DIP switches as follows.
Receiver 1 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 1.
Receiver 2 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on switch 1, activates from Button 2.
Receiver 3 - Set switch 10 OFF, match switches 1-9 on switch 2, activates from Button 3.
Receiver 4 - Set switch 10 ON, match switches 1-9 on code switch 2, activates from Button 4.
NOTE: The DIP switches in the receiver must match the DIP switches in all transmitters used to operate the receiver.
Step 5 Test the Equipment
If not already installed, connect the receivers to the
operators as described in their installation instructions.
Be sure the door/gate area is clear of people and
obstructions. Activate each transmitter button and
verify that each receiver triggers its operator.
Battery Replacement
The 9 volt battery should last 12 to 18 months of normal
use. The green LED on the face of the transmitter will
light dimly or not at all when the battery needs replacing.
The battery is located under the access cover.
