PRODUCT FEATURES
Allstar Commercial Transmitters are designed to work with Allstar Receivers. Some models are designed to operate multiple
receivers. A selector switch on the Transmitter determines which door will be controlled in a multi-door installation. The Receiver is
connected to the commercial operator in the same manner as a 3-button station and provides open, close and stop functions via radio
control.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
External interference (such as radio towers).
Change to a different frequency.
Stuck transmitter in building.
Change code switches from factory settings.
Check battery in transmitter.
If you experience distinctive problems with the Transmitter and
Receiver, try some of the suggestions listed below before calling
the Factory Technicians.
RECEIVER APPEARS DEAD; THERE IS NO RESPONSE WHEN
TRANSMITTER BUTTONS ARE PUSHED.
Check the power connections to the receiver.
There must be at least 20 VAC at the receiver power
connections. (If a 24V system).
Review the code switch settings.
Any mismatch will prevent the receiver from working.
Try a different code switch setting.
Check the antenna installation.
Wait one minute for the receiver to “warm-up”.
Check battery in transmitter.
ONE RECEIVER WORKS BUT THE OTHER IS DEAD.
Relocate the antennas.
Receivers too close together (cross-talking); move to
different locations.
Use a Master/Slave system.
Master/Slave wires not connected properly. Refer to
FigureZ4.
Check code switch settings.
SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER:
RECEIVER “CLICKS” WHEN ANY TRANSMITTER BUTTON
IS PUSHED, BUT NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS.
Check the wire & connections in the STOP circuit. Refer to
Figure 3.
Check the OPEN & CLOSE connections.
The wire gage may be too small for the number of wall
stations used.
Check the power to the door operator.
Check the door operator’s control voltage.
SHORT DISTANCE OR INTERMITTENT OPERATION.
Relocate the antenna with a coaxial cable.
Metal objects too close to receiver, move to a better
location.
Range is dependent on the installation, type of building,
type of door and the location of the transmitter. When these
conditions change so will the distance.
Any transmitter can interfere with operation. These include
cell phones, cordless phones, wireless systems and CB and
mobile transmitters. Other sources of interference include
computer equipment, industrial equipment, electric motors,
fluorescent lights, etc. The list is endless.
Do not lengthen or shorten the receiver antenna. It is set to
an optimal length based on the frequency of operation.
If the antenna is blocked or shielded (such as a car traveling
through a tunnel) the distance will decrease.
Always change the Factory set codes.
