PRODUCT FEATURES
Check code switch settings.
Allstar MVP-831E Commercial Receivers are designed to work with most commercial door operators.
Programming the receiver to accept the transmitter signal is a matter of pushing the “LEARN” button on the
receiver body and activating the transmitter. The MVP-831E is connected to the commercial operator in the
same manner as a 3-button station and provides full open, close, and stop functionality via radio control. The
receiver is powered from the operator’s 24 VAC transformer. The antenna is removable and may be relocated
(using coaxial cable, not included) for better RF reception.
SOME 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.
Check the antenna installation.
Wait one minute for the receiver to “warm-up”.
Check battery in transmitter.
RECEIVER “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.
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.
