Having trouble getting a 2 or 3 button transmitter to work with your GTO gate operator?

Multi-channel (multi-button) transmitters have only 8 dip-switches for programming instead of 9 as the single button models do. This is because the 9^th segment of the transmitter's code is determined by the choice of one of the multiple buttons on the transmitter.

On all GTO and Heddolf-GTO compatible multi-channel transmitters, use of the left button equals a 9^th dip-switch setting of "+", use of the middle (or right--on a 2-button transmitter) button equals a 9^th dip-switch setting of "0", and use of the right button equals a 9^th dip-switch setting of "-". With multi-channel mini-transmitters, this is true when the transmitter is held with the keychain facing you.

Therefore, when you teach your GTO gate operator's control board a transmitter code with a single button transmitter and intend also to use a two-button transmitter with the operator, the 9^th segment of the code must be either a "+" or a "0", depending upon which button you wish to use for that operator.

Note that the two transmitter settings illustrated below are identical.

1-BUTTON 3-BUTTON

To use both a one-button and a multi-button transmitter with your GTO gate operator:

Step 1: Teach your GTO gate operator your personal transmitter code.

• On your one-button transmitter, set the dip-switches to your new personal secret code, setting dip-switch no. 9 to "+".
• Turn the power switch on your GTO gate operator off.
• Holding down the S-5 programming button on your GTO control board, turn the power back on.

• Release the S-5 programming button.
• Press and hold your transmitter button until the red light on your GTO control board flashes bright, then returns to dim.
• You have now taught your new transmitter setting to your GTO gate operator, and the operator is in its normal operating mode.

Now your GTO gate operator will work with any GTO-compatible transmitter.

Step 2: Set your 2 or 3 button transmitter to work with your GTO gate operator.

• Set the 8 dip-switches on your 2 or 3 button transmitter to match the first 8 dip-switches of your one button transmitter.
• Press the left button on your 2 or 3 button transmitter. If you have a 2 or 3 button mini-transmitter, hold it with the keychain facing you.

If you have followed the above instructions precisely, your gate will now open.

To use only multi-button transmitters with your GTO gate operator:

• Set the 8 dip-switches on your multi-button transmitter however you like.
• Turn the power switch on your GTO gate operator off.
• Holding down the S-5 programming button on your GTO control board, turn the power back on.

• Release the S-5 programming button.
• Press and hold the left button on your transmitter until the red light on your GTO control board flashes bright, then returns to dim. This is now the button that will open your gate.
• You have now taught your new transmitter setting to your GTO gate operator, and the operator is in its normal operating mode.

Now you can use any 2 or 3 button transmitter with your GTO gate operator. Simply repeat the above steps with your additional transmitters, setting the dip-switches identically to the ones in your first transmitter.
