Garage Door Opener Radio Controls
Model 5018 (433MHz) Single Button Transmitter
• Disconnect operator power before any installation or repair
• Always wear safety glasses
Your Digi-Code radio controls are designed specifically to remotely control a garage
door opener from within an automobile and to give years of trouble free service without
adjustment. Because all radio controls are set with the even numbered switches in the
"ON" position when they leave the factory, it is recommended that a different code
be selected and set at the time of installation. Please refer to the "Setting the Code
Switch" section for instructions. The radio frequency (RF) portion of the controls,
however, are tuned to standard frequencies and are thoroughly tested at the factory. This
permits the addition or replacement of either the transmitter or the receiver by specifying
the Model number and the RF frequency designated on the identification label. RF
adjustments are not needed nor should any be attempted.
RECEIVER INSTALLATION
The receiver is designed to mount directly to the operator. It can be remotely installed if
the operator terminal strip is not accessible, or if the power for the receiver is not
obtainable from the operator. To direct mount the receiver, simply loosen the terminal
screws on the operator and insert the two-way lugs from the receiver under the screw
heads along the wall button wires, and tighten the screws ( See Figure #1)
Place the antenna (a 10 inch black wire ) in a vertical position as far from any metal as
possible.
