MDR - Single-channel external receiver with relay output.
MDRM - Single-channel internal receiver (fits operators with
recessed receivers) with solid state output.
MDRNR - Single-channel external receiver with solid state output.
DESCRIPTION
MegaCode Series
The MegaCode series of digital receivers are wireless radio
controls designed for use with automatic garage door and gate
openers. The MegaCode radio format provides unparalleled
security. The transmitter and receiver can be programmed to more
than a million different codes.
MegaCode receivers and transmitters do not contain a typical
“coding switch”. Each transmitter is pre-set at the factory to a
unique code. The receiver is programmed by sending a signal to
it from the transmitter(s) that are going to be used with it. This
stores the transmitters code into the receiver’s memory. The
receiver will retain its memory even without power. The receiver
will activate only from these “memorized” transmitters. Each
MegaCode receiver can remember a maximum of 10
transmitters.

MDR2 - Two-channel external receiver with relay outputs.

recessed receivers) with solid state output on channel one and

STEP 1A MDR/MDRNR/MDR2 Three-terminal Operator
Installation. Hold receiver up to back of operator. Connect
Terminals 1, 2 & 3 on the receiver to Terminals 1, 2 & 3 on the
operator.
STEP 1B MDRM/MDRM2 Recessed Receiver Operator
Installation. Loosen operator terminal screws. Install receiver
into operator “pocket”. Connect Terminals 1, 2 & 3 on the receiver
to Terminals 1, 2 & 3 on the operator.
STEP 1C MDR/MDR2 Two-terminal Operator Installation.
The Model TF524 step-down transformer must be used to power
the receiver when connecting to a two-terminal operator or one
that supplies other than 24V. Install the screws supplied into the
brass terminals on the receiver. Connect the transformer wires to
Terminals 1 & 3 (polarity not important). Connect receiver
Terminals 1 & 2 to the two operator terminals (polarity not
important).

STEP 2 MDR2/MDRM2 Two-channel Receiver Installation.
Connect the receiver to the operator as described in the previous
step. The channel-two pigtail wires can be connected to the
operator’s light toggle terminals or to an external device.
STEP 3 Optional Receiver Mounting Bracket. If the receiver
isn’t going to be mounted directly to the operator terminals, an
optional mounting bracket is supplied. It can be installed three
ways onto the MDR or MDR2 case. Screw the bracket to a wall
or stud and snap the receiver onto it.
STEP 4A MDR/MDRNR/MDR2 Program button and LED
Location. Locate the program button and LED on the side of the
receiver case.
