PROGRAMMING & CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Internal Relay Contact Specifications: Normally Open, 125 VAC @ 10amps
Warning! Do not exceed maximum rating.
I M P O R T A N T !
1. If you purchased the R X-454 Call Box (Basic or XT model) with the GGT-1 GateGuard DTMF Decoder,
you must use the RITRON Model EXPO-12 External Power 12VDC Input/Battery Back-Up Kit. The R X-
454 does not have a connection available that would allow both the Decoder Board and the R X radio
board to be turned off and draw no current when used only with batteries. The R X-150 and 450 do have
the necessary connection available, and can be used with batteries only or with the EXPO-12.
2. When using an XT Model Callbox with the RITRON Model EXPO-12, the installation of the liquid tight
strain relief in the EXPO-12 must be reversed due to space limitations in the XT case.
3. When using the GGT-1/1F with the 6-Series Callbox, the 6 D-cell battery holder must be removed and the
unit powered by an external 12 VDC power supply.
Step 1. - CALLBOX DISASSEMBLY - Basic and XT Models R X-150/156/450/456/454
1. For XT Model - Remove (4) metal screws with Torx T-25 Tamper-proof screw bit. Remove front metal plate.
1. For Basic Model - Remove message placard from the front of the Callbox.
2. Loosen (4) large plastic screws located in the corners of the front enclosure.
3. Carefully pull front and rear enclosures apart.
4. Disconnect power cable between front and rear enclosures.
Note: If the GGT-1F is installed in the XT Model OutPost, an additional hole must be drilled in the fiberglass enclosure
for the routing of ires connecting the GateGuard decoder/relay board to the contact closure connection on the
device you ish to control. The size and location of that hole ill vary ith each application and is therefore left up
to the installer/dealer. It is the installer/dealer responsibility to provide any conduit or strain relief hard are
needed.
Step 2. - INSTALLING THE GateGua d DECODER/RELAY BOARD INTO AN OUTPOST CALLBOX
Kit Parts List: (Special ote: If the GateGuard has been factory installed, proceed to Step 3)
- RI-1 GateGuard DTMF Decoder/Relay Board w/ foam tape.
- Wire harness w/ connector.
- Liquid Tight Strain Relief.
- Instruction Sheet
Installation:
1. Solder the wire harness as shown in FIG.-1.
2. Remove the protective covering from the tape on the Decoder Board.
3. RQX-150/450/454-XT: Place the Decoder Board on the inside left wall of the front cover as shown in FIG.-2.
RQX-156/456-XT: The battery holder must be removed and the Decoder Board placed on the inside of the
back cover.
4. Connect the wire harness to the mating connector on the Decoder Board. A panel mounted liquid tight strain
relief is included in the Kit. The liquid tight strain relief provides sealing as well as strain relief for the wires
connecting the GateGuard relay contacts to the contact closure inputs on the device you wish to control.
To install the liquid tight strain relief, you must drill a 0.484" hole in the center of the bottom wall of the
enclosure that holds the radio (see FIG.-2. for details). IMPORTA T  Take care to study FIG.-2. For the
correct location of this hole BEFORE you drill the hole. Insert the liquid tight strain relief and tighten the
inside and outside nuts to secure it to the enclosure. IMPORTA T  After routing the wires through
the strain relief connector, firmly tighten the sealing nut. This will insure proper strain relief for the wires
and proper sealing of the enclosure.
5. BEFORE you re-assemble the OutPost callbox  TEST your GateGuard system for proper operation.
Note: If the GGT-1F is installed in the XT Model OutPost, a hole must be drilled into the fiberglass enclosure for the routing of the
rela contact wires. The size and location of that hole will var with each application and is therefore left up to the installer/
dealer. It is the installer/dealer responsibilit to suppl an conduit or strain relief hardware.

Basic Ope ation - Model GGT-1/1F DTMF DECODER
The RITRON OUTPOST Radio Callbox with GateGuard installed will operate as such;
After a call has been initiated by the OutPost radio callbox, a two-way conversation can be established between
the callbox and a portable two-way radio. Likewise, personnel with a radio (portable, mobile or base station)
equipped with a DTMF keypad can transmit the access command code back to the OutPost callbox equipped
with a GateGuard decoder. By transmitting the correct GateGuard access command code via the radios keypad,
the user can now achieve long range, wireless remote control to activate motors, gates, locks, lights and/or pumps.
When the GateGuard decodes the correct access command code, the relay contacts will close momentarily (a
1/2-second) to control what has been connected to the relay contacts. The OutPost radio callbox will then
automatically transmit a short (1 second) acknowledgement tone back to the portable radio. This tone
acknowledgement in-turn alerts radio-equipped personnel that the OutPost callbox received and successfully
decoded the GateGuard access command code.
Note: Ackno ledgement Tone and Trunking Operation - If GateGuard is used ith a RITRON Model RQX-454/-XT
programmed for trunking mode through a repeater, the 1 second tone may be partially or entirely missed due to
Home Channel availability.

If you would like to know that the desired command was actually per ormed e.g. is the gate really moving?,
then Ritron has the perfect wireless solution for you. We recommend the uick Talk Wireless Voice Alarm
Reporter. The uick Talk R T-150/450/454 can be programmed to the radio system frequency and connected
to any switch i.e. a flex switch, magnetic reed switch, pressure plate etc.. in-turn this switch will be activated by
the actual opening/closing of the gate. A corresponding voice message is then transmitted via radio to all radio-
equipped personnel, providing confirmation on the status of the gate. This useful wireless device can be used in
conjunction with existing two-way radios  conventional, repeaters and UHF trunking system and a wide variety
of available switches or sensors.
The 1-second acknowledgement tone generated by the GGT-1 equipped Outpost indicates that a correct
access command code has been received and properly decoded. It does not confirm that the gate is actually
opening or closing; i.e., a damaged gate motor may not be operational. Even though a GateGuard equipped
OutPost callbox receives and decodes the signal, and the relay output closes, the attached device (e.g., a gate
opener) may not be operational. A uick Talk Voice Alarm Reporter along with a flex switch mounted in the path
of the gate will confirm via radio that the gate is actually moving. This added monitoring capability will also alert
radio-equipped personnel of unauthorized movement of the gate. Visit the Ritron web site at www.ritron.com or
call your dealer or Ritron at 800-USA-1-USA (800-872-1-872) for more information on the uick Talk Voice Alarm
Reporter.
