TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES
If you experience problems with the MVP-RE Receiver, try some of the suggestions listed below before calling the Factory Technicians.
R
WHEN TRANSMITTER BUTTONS ARE PUSHED
Check the power connections to the receiver.
R
ECEIVER APPEARS DEAD
There must be at least 20 VAC at the receiver power connections. (If a 24V system).
Review the code switch and the selector switch settings then reprogram the receiver..
Try a different code switch setting.
Check the antenna installation.
Wait one minute for the receiver to “warm-up”.
Check battery in transmitter.

.
WHEN ANY TRANSMITTER
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.
S HORT DISTANCE OR INTERMITTENT OPERATION .
Relocate the antenna with a coaxial cable.
Metal objects too close to receiver, move to a better location.
External interference (such as radio towers).
O
Change to a different frequency.
Stuck transmitter in building.
Change code switches from factory settings.
Check battery in transmitter.
NE RECEIVER WORKS BUT THE OTHER IS DEAD .
Relocate the antennas.
Receivers too close together (cross-talking); move to different locations.
Check code switch settings.
S OME THINGS TO REMEMBER :
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.

READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
MVP-RE COMMERCIAL RECEIVER INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLER: Leave this manual with your customer upon completion of the installation
PRODUCT FEATURES
MVP-RE Commercial Receivers are designed to work with most commercial door operators. Programming the receiver to accept the transmitter signal is a matter of pushing the “LEARN” button on the receiver body and activating the transmitter. The MVP-RE is connected to the commercial operator in the same manner as a
3-button station and provides full open, close, and stop functionality via radio control. The receiver is powered from the operator’s 24 VAC transformer. The antenna is removable and may be relocated (using coaxial cable, not included) for better RF reception.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
•
MVP-RE RECEIVERS ARE INTENDED FOR
USE WITH COMMERCIAL DOOR OPERATORS
ONLY. DO NOT USE FOR ANY OTHER
PURPOSE. DO NOT MODIFY IN ANY MANNER.
•
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
CHECK LOCAL BUILDING AND ELECTRICAL
CODES FOR MANDATORY INSTALLATION
AND WIRING REQUIREMENTS.
•
YOUR GARAGE DOOR IS A LARGE MOVING
OBJECT. THE SPRINGS, PULLEYS, CABLES
AND MOUNTING HARDWARE UTILIZED TO
BALANCE ITS OPERATION ARE UNDER
EXTREME TENSION AT ALL TIMES AND CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, EVEN
DEATH, IF DISTURBED. ONLY A QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSON SHOULD MOVE, LOOSEN
OR ADJUST DOOR SPRINGS OR HARDWARE.
•
CONNECT POWER CORDS ONLY TO A
PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET. IF
PERMANENT WIRING IS REQUIRED BY
CODES, DISCONNECT POWER AT FUSE BOX
OR CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE ATTEMPTING
ANY WIRING CONNECTIONS.
•
LOCATE CONTROL PUSHBUTTONS WITHIN
SIGHT OF THE DOOR AND AWAY FROM THE
MOVING PARTS OF THE DOOR. INSTALL
ENTRAPMENT WARNING LABEL NEXT TO
THE CONTROL PUSHBUTTON IN A
PROMINENT LOCATION.
•
DO NOT WEAR RINGS, WATCHES OR LOOSE
CLOTHING WHILE INSTALLING OR
SERVICING GARAGE DOOR OPENERS. WEAR
SAFETY GOGGLES OR OTHER PROTECTIVE
EYEWEAR.
•
REMOVE ALL ROPES AND REMOVE OR MAKE
INOPERATIVE ALL LOCKS CONNECTED TO
THE GARAGE DOOR.
•
AN UNBALANCED DOOR OR ONE THAT
STICKS OR BINDS MAY CAUSE INJURY OR
DEATH. ENSURE DOOR IS PROPERLY
BALANCED AND ELIMINATE ANY STICKING
OR BINDING.
•
THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND
SITUATIONS. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD
THAT COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION MUST
BE EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S)

MVP-RE RECEIVER WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPROPER WIRING COULD CAUSE ELECTROCUTION OR
DAMAGE TO CIRCUITRY. FOLLOW LOCAL BUILDING AND
ELECTRICAL CODES.
TO PREVENT ELECTROCUTION DISCONNECT POWER AT
FUSE BOX AND DOOR OPENER BEFORE WIRING
PERMANENTLY.
The MVP-RE receiver functions as a 3-button station.
Three sets of isolated contacts are provided; normally open contacts for the OPEN PUSHBUTTON (orange wires); normally open contacts for the CLOSE
PUSHBUTTON (black wires); normally closed contacts for the STOP PUSHBUTTON (gray wires). Refer to
Figure 1. For special STOP circuit applications, normally open contacts are available from the factory.
Typical 4-wire 3-button stations are wired as shown in
Figure 2. Number 18 gauge wire or heavier must be used for wiring the control stations and the MVP-831E receiver to the door operator. Smaller gauge wire may cause operational problems, especially when multiple 3button stations are used. For typical installations the
MVP-RE receiver is mounted near the door operator, away from any high voltage conduits or steel support beams. For wiring, follow the steps below and refer to
Figure 3.

RECEIVER PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Learning Transmitter Codes
The MVP-RE receiver is capable of learning the codes from up to 8 different Allstar Open/Close/Stop transmitters. The transmitters may be any combination of MVP, Classic or original dip-switch type Open/
Close/Stop transmitters (Models 8833-O/C/S, 8833C-
O/C/S, 831, 733, 639, and/or 53S).
Match the receiver operating frequency with the transmitter operating frequency.
Pre-program the transmitter (or set the DIP switches) according to the instructions that accompanied the transmitter.
For transmitters that can operate multiple doors
(Models 8833C-O/C/S, 733 639, and 53S), make sure the selector switch(es) is (are) positioned for the desired door you want to operate before starting the receiver programming steps below.
Learn/Erase Button
Indicator LED
Erasing the Receiverʼs Memory
Step 1: Press and HOLD the Learn button. The indicator LED will turn on.
Step 2: When the LED turns off (after approximately 5 seconds), release the Learn button.
Programming The Receiver
Step 1: Momentarily press and release the Learn button. The LED will turn on.
Step 2: Using a programmed transmitter, press any one of the transmitter buttons (OPEN, CLOSE, or
STOP). When the receiver learns the transmitter code, the LED will turn off. The receiver has automatically learned the two remaining buttons.
Step 3: Repeat to add additional transmitters with different codes if desired.
Important
Refer to individual manuals for transmitter installation, coding and user instructions.
