Tips
1. Mount the receiver high and above any obstructions; fence
pickets, column caps, etc.
2. If radio control seems limited try moving the receiver 1-2 feet
in each direction to reduce radio noise “dead spots”.
Use the transmitter to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it.
Consider the following when mounting the receiver:
• Standard receiver cable length is 10 feet (receivers with a longer cable are available as special
order items; call the GTO Sales Department). NEVER splice receiver cable!
• Run the cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage.
• DO NOT run cable through conduit containing AC wire.
• DO NOT place receiver within 3 feet of AC power.
• DO NOT coil excess cable or store it in the control box.
• Do not mount upside down.
• The receiver range can vary depending upon weather, topography, and external interference.
