Gate remote control help needed - new Stanley 1082 remote
Help! I bought a couple replacement remote controls for my automatic gate. In the past I was able to buy a remote, set the dip switches, and it would work right away. Now I've bought two in a row that don't work. What am I missing? 
See here for the best info on the net for it: Stanley - Multi-Code - Linear Model 1082 One Button Mini Remote
What are they talking about at the bottom where it says, "Use the motor unit receiver code settings for your new remote, instead of the old remote. TURN THE POWER OFF TO THE MOTOR UNIT 1ST.
Use the external receiver code setting inside the receiver to set the code. TURN THE POWER OFF TO THE MOTOR UNIT 1ST.
Turn the power back on when the codes are set."
It sounds like I should be cracking open that old gate controller, but why would I have to do it now when I haven't had to do it the previous two times? The remotes have the same part number, the same PCB, etc..

Do you have a original functioning remote? Open up the gate operator & find the remote receiver. Verify its a 310 mhz unit. If it still opens the gate, verify the dips on the new ones. You could have them completely backwards.

The only other thing I can think of is that your receiver is a 300 MHz unit. I'm on a tablet in the middle of nowhere right now & can't surf the door king site. Trying to get Stanley stuff is impossible save for Lanier I think. I've been out of the biz for a few years, but I'll try & help more when I get back home Wednesday. Might even have an operator key in my junk drawer.
