Digi-Code DC5100 3-Tab Garage Door Receiver – 24V, 300 MHz Multi-Code Compatible

The Digi-Code DC5100 is a 3-tab wireless receiver designed for compatible commercial and residential garage door openers using 24V power and 300 MHz fixed-code radio controls.

The receiver uses traditional 10-position DIP-switch programming, providing up to 1,024 possible security-code combinations. Its 3-tab connection design allows the receiver to connect directly to many compatible three-terminal garage door operators without requiring a separate transformer or external power adapter.

3-Tab Connection

The DC5100 is designed to connect to compatible three-terminal garage door operators.

The 3-tab configuration can provide the required power and control connection directly from a compatible operator, eliminating the need for a separate receiver transformer in many installations.

Always verify the terminal configuration and operator voltage before installation.

Compatible Radio Systems

The DC5100 operates with compatible 300 MHz fixed-code Digi-Code and Multi-Code transmitters.

Common compatible transmitter families include:

• Digi-Code DC-5010

• Digi-Code DC-5030

• Digi-Code DC-5040

• Digi-Code DC-5060

• Digi-Code DC-5070

• Other compatible 300 MHz Multi-Code fixed-code controls

Compatibility depends on frequency and coding format, not simply the brand of the garage door operator.

Programming

The DC5100 uses 10 internal DIP switches.

To program the receiver:

1. Disconnect power before accessing wiring or internal components.

2. Locate the 10 DIP switches inside the receiver.

3. Set the receiver switches to the desired code pattern.

4. Set the compatible transmitter or keypad to the identical DIP-switch pattern.

5. Restore power.

6. Test the system from a safe location.

The transmitter and receiver must use the same 300 MHz frequency and DIP-switch code.
