2-1. Open and unpack the antenna, batteries,
transmitter and receiver units.
2-2. Loosen screws from the top cover and
remove the lid.
2-3. Route the wires from the monitored edge
through the strain relief cable fitting for
approximately four inches.
Strip the insulation from the two wires back ¼”
and secure the wires in the terminal block
marked SE 1. (not polarized.)
2-4. Place the two AA lithium batteries in their holders
in the proper direction, paying attention to the (+)
and (-) ends.
2-5. Tuck the wires connected to the SE terminal
block neatly and pull the excess wire back
through the strain relief. Securely tighten the
cable fitting.

PART NUMBER
2-Install Transmitter and Test
The Monitored Gate Link (MGL) transmitter/receiver system is intended to provide a wireless connection between a monitored
safety edge and a motorized operator that controls the associated gate. MGL meets the UL 325-2016 requirements for
monitored devices and has been certified as a UL 325 recognized component. It is designed for use on operators that comply with
UL 325-2016 using a T2 terminated edge sensor.
Required:
1. 1/8” flat blade screwdriver
2. 1/4” flat blade screwdriver
3. T2 (10K/BLUE BAND) terminated sensing edge
Recommended:
• VOM for test purposes
• Mounting screws as required for receiver

2-6. Momentarily press the “test” button. The green Tx data LED should flash.
2-7. Mount the Transmitter to the gate using #6 – 20 x 3/4” self-drilling screws. The mounting holes
are located under the top lid screws. Mount the transmitter with the wire strain relief facing down.
2-8. Replace the cover on the transmitter and tighten the screws taking care to align the lid.
*Note the alignment pin located in the upper left corner.
3-Install Receiver and Test
3-1. Mount the receiver inside the operator cover using
the pre-drilled mounting holes, as shown.
3-2. Attach the antenna to the receiver RF board. An
antenna extension cable may be required if the
operator chassis is metal.
3-3. Connect your power source to the terminals
marked “power”. 12-24 VAC/DC. Your output
connections (COM and 10K or P/N.C.) will be
determined by your operator’s requirements.
The “output select” DIP switch will need to be
set accordingly: Switch 1 set to “P” for pulsed
output. Switch 1 set to “R” for N.C. (normally
closed) or 10KΩ resistor output. Switch 2 has
no function.
3-4. Confirm that the transmitter and receiver are
powered on.
3-5. Green power LED stays on; channel 2 red LED
will be blinking.
3-6. To enter “learn” mode, press CH1 (in the learn
section of the PCB). The red led remains
on and the amber status LED will blink.
3-7. Activate the transmitting edge and note the red and
amber LEDs will blink alternately rapidly. Then the
red LED will go out and the amber LED remains on.
3-8. Channel 1 is now programmed. Repeat for
Channel 2 (if desired).
3-9. To start over or erase programming, press and hold
both buttons for 3 seconds. The LEDs will
blink rapidly and then go into “fault” mode. Repeat
the programming steps above.
