1 Short Beep Keypad Tone when button is pressed
1 Long Beep Correct combination is entered
3 Beeps Modification of combination confirmed
5 Short Beeps Error wrong combination
10 Rapid Beeps Battery low warning signal
2) Installation:
Before physically installing the unit in the mounting position it is good practice to perform a
practical test of its functionality and range. Consider that range may be up to 25% or 30%
less when battery power is low.
3) Positioning
For greater signal/range, try to position the unit where there is open space from the keypad
back to the control board. Having metal, wood or concrete structures etc blocking the path
could decrease the signal/range.
4) Operation
The use of the keypad is based on combinations up to 8 digits long between numbers of 1 to
9. Once the combination has been entered the user then presses the confirm key <or >to
activate an open cycle of the gate. There are 2 channels available for the user.
-Receiver channel 1 if the user presses <
-Receiver channel 2 if the user presses >
The command will be transmitted only when a valid combination has been entered, If an
incorrect combination has been entered the unit will beep 5 times once the confirm key has
been pressed. The combination entered must be exact, for example –if the correct
combination is 0422, the following attempts will be interpreted as errors: 422, 10422 and
104222. Therefore, if the user accidently presses the wrong key when entering a combination
< or > should be pressed immediately to generate the error tone, after which the correct
combination can be entered starting from the beginning again.
Compatible With: GTR500, GTR501, GTR502, GTR503

While entering the combination no more than 6 seconds can be allowed to elapse between
keystrokes, after which interval the combination must be re-entered starting from the
beginning.
The units are factory programmed with a standard combination to activate channel one (<)
and two (>).
The factory set combinations are as follows:
Combination to transmit the code associated with the <key.
When the unit is used for the first time the combination is 11 < key
Combination to transmit the code associated with >key.
When the unit is used for the first time the combination is 22 > key
5) Fitting
Dis-assemble keypad to allow fastening to the wall.
1. Remove the front black face carefully so as not to damage the paint. Use a small flat
head screwdriver and insert into the gap at the base of the outer housing.
2. Use the special key provided, to remove the 2 screws either side of the key buttons.
3. The front keypad housing can then be separated from the back mounting position of
the keypad.
4. Drill suitable holes to allow fastening to the wall. You can use double sided tape on
some smooth painted surfaces.
WARNING: Do not fit a fastener that seats proud of the backing plate as the front
face will not seal when fitted. Seal fastening to waterproof.
5. Reassemble keypad.

will then activate an open cycle on gate.
NOTE 1: If the two combinations you have entered are identical, once you have entered the
combination you can press either < or >
NOTE 2: If combinations are set without entering any number, the system is effectively
overridden and the command can be transmitted simply by pressing <or > without first have

5) Connecting Keypad to Gate Control Board
Locate the “RF Learn button on your gate control board. Push the RF button once for 2-3
seconds and observe the blue LED lights up. On the keypad type in your combination (factory
setting is 11 or 22) followed by < or >. A single beep sounds from your keypad if correct
combination is pressed. A wrong combination is 5 short beeps. The gate control board blue
LED will remember your correct transmitted code with a quick flicker. This action must be
performed within 8 seconds or the gate control board will revert back to normal mode and
remote transmission will not learn. Wait for the blue LED to turn off before testing your new
keypad combination.
6) Reset to factory setting
On a flat surface access the PCB by removing the front black face plate. Remove the 2
fasteners of the outer housing using a 3mm Allan key to expose the PCB. Remove the 3
small screws holding the PCB to the main keypad body. Gently fold back the PCB without
dislodging the blue antenna wire from its position under the rubber seal. Temporary fit the 2
batteries then locate the RED reset button on the PCB. Press for 5 seconds… after a long
beep sounds the board returns back to factory setting of 11< OR 22 >. You will need to re-
learn this new signal via the receiver on the mother board of your gate opener.
