TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES
If you experience problems with the 831 Receiver, try some of the suggestions listed below before calling the Factory
Technicians.
R ECEIVER 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.
R ECEIVER “ 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.
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).
Change to a different frequency.
Stuck transmitter in building.
Change code switches from factory settings.
Check battery in transmitter.
O 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.

PRODUCT FEATURES
831 Commercial Receivers are designed to work with most commercial door operators. The 831 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. The receiver may be powered from the operator’s 24 VAC transformer or from a 115 VAC circuit. There is ample room in the 831 control box to make the proper connections. The antenna is removable and may be moved (using coaxial cable) to a new location for better RF reception.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
•
831 RECEIVERS ARE INTENDED FOR USE WITH
COMMERCIAL DOOR OPERATORS ONLY. DO
NOT USE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. DO NOT
MODIFY IN ANY MANNER.
•
CHECK LOCAL BUILDING AND ELECTRICAL
CODES FOR MANDATORY INSTALLATION AND
WIRING REQUIREMENTS.
•
CONNECT POWER CORDS ONLY TO A
P ROP ER LY G ROU ND ED OUT LET . IF
PERMANENT WIRING IS REQUIRED BY CODES,
DISCONNECT POWER AT FUSE BOX OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY WIRING
CONNECTIONS.
•
DO NOT WEAR RINGS, WATCHES OR LOOSE
CLOTHING WHILE INSTALLING OR SERVICING
GARAGE DOOR OPENERS. WEAR SAFETY
GOGGLES OR OTHER PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR.
•
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.
•
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.
•
LOCATE CONTROL PUSHBUTTONS WITHIN
SIGHT OF THE DOOR AND AWAY FROM THE
MOVING PARTS OF THE DOOR. INSTALL
ENTRAPMENT WARNING LABEL NEXT TO THE

831 COMMERCIAL RECEIVER WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPROPER WIRING COULD CAUSE ELECTROCUTION OR DAMAGE TO CIRCUITRY.
FOLLOW LOCAL BUILDING AND ELECTRICAL CODES.
DISCONNECT POWER TO RECEIVER AND DOOR OPENER BEFORE WIRING
PERMANENTLY TO PREVENT ELECTROCUTION.
The 831 receiver functions as a 3-button station. Three sets of isolated contacts are provided; normally open contacts for the
OPEN PUSHBUTTON (terminals #3 & #4); normally open contacts for the CLOSE PUSHBUTTON (terminals #5 & #6); normally closed contacts for the STOP PUSHBUTTON (terminals #7 & #8). For special STOP circuit applications, normally open contacts (terminals #8 & #9) are available. Refer to Figure 1.
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 831 receiver to the door
