ongratulations on your purchase of the 3-Door Programmable Garage Door
Receiver with ACG (Anti-CodeGrabbing™). You can use your existing
Clifford ACG remote control(s) to individually command up to 3 separate garage
door openers and/or electric gate(s) (note: this product will not work with older
Clifford remote controls). You can even use the same remote control to command
various low-voltage devices in your home (such as a home security system) as well
as control Clifford ACG vehicle security system(s) and accessories on your
automobile(s).
What is code-grabbing?
Your existing garage door remote control transmits the same digital code every
time you press the button. So thieves now use a code-grabber, a device that
literally records, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your garage door
transmitter. When you have left, they just use the code-grabber to retransmit the
code and activate your garage door opener.
Thieves have been using this same code-grabbing technology to disarm car
alarms. So Clifford Electronics, the world leader in auto security technology,
developed Anti-CodeGrabbing: ACG. Clifford's ACG remote controls NEVER
transmit the same code twice. Each time you use your Clifford ACG remote
control, it randomly changes the code.
How to connect the 3-Door Programmable Garage Door
Receiver to your garage door opener(s)
1. Unplug the power cord(s) of the garage door opener(s).
2. If the opener uses an external receiver module, disconnect its terminals as
shown in diagram 1.
3. If the opener uses an internal receiver module, perform the Detuning the
Opener's Receiver procedure on page 3.
4. Mount the 3-Door Programmable Receiver above the garage door as shown
in diagram 1.
NOTE: Do not mount the receiver module over or near metal. Doing so
will reduce remote control range.
