GENIE GARAGE DOOR OPENER KEYPADS

Genie Garage Door Opener Wireless Keypad Model GPWK-12, GWK

(Works with remotes having 9 or 12 internal code setting switches. Keypad is black with a slide-up cover showing the Genie logo only)

This keyless garage door opener entry pad works with Genie transmitters using 390 MHz frequency. It is NOT compatible with Genie Intellicode transmitters. The Door Code in the Step-By-Step Procedure at right is determined by the internal code switches inside your transmitter and the accompanying chart. Determine the settings of the first 3 switches and write down the corresponding number from the chart. Continue with the next 3 switches and its corresponding number, and so on, until the last set of 3 switches. You should have 3 or 4 Door Code numbers.

Programming Digital Remote Transmitters with Internal Set Switches

These transmitters work by matching the settings on the internal code setting switches with the same set of switches in the receiver on the garage ceiling. The receiver is located either behind the light lens of the Genie garage door opener motor head, or inside an external small rectangular box on the ceiling, which is connected to the motor head by a set of wires. Note: the frequency of the transmitter must be the same frequency as the receiver on the ceiling for it to work. Genie has been making the 390 MHz frequency exclusively for the last 15 years.

Programming Multi-Button Digital Remotes with Internal Set Switches

These garage door opener transmitters have 2 smaller switches to the right of the internal Code Setting Switches. The small right switch should be set according to how many Code Setting Switches in your receiver (either 9 or 12). The small left switch is for programming purposes. To program a button for one of your doors, follow the instructions below:

1. First, match the settings on the Internal Code Setting Switches with the same set of switches in the receiver on the garage ceiling, as described in the previous programming instructions.

2. Next, move the small programming switch to 'S' (for SET) and press the transmitter button you wish to have assigned to the above door.

3. Last, return the programming switch to 'R' (for RUN) and press the assigned transmitter button to test the door and start the door moving. Follow the same procedure for each additional door you wish to program.

Installation of Genie GIC390 Intellicode Receiver

Terminals labeled 1, 2 and 3 on the Receiver are connected to their corresponding terminals on the garage door opener Power Head labeled 1, 2 and 3. Color coded wires correspond as follows: White = 1, Black = 2, Red = 3. (Wiring connections inside the GIC receiver plastic cover are as follows: Red = 1, Black = 2, White = 3. Note that these wire connections are in a different order than the connections to the motor head.)

Installation of Genie GIC390 Receiver Using 24 VAC Power

Pak

Installations using a Power Pak plug-in will connect the two terminals on the power pack to terminals 1 and 3 on the receiver, color coded white and red. The receiver's white wire (1) also connects to terminal 1 on the Garage Door Opener Power Head. The receiver's remaining black wire (2) connects to terminal 2 on the Power Head.

HOMELINK IN-CAR REMOTE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

To program a built-in-car transmitter to a rolling code garage door opener (Genie rolling code is called Intellicode, LiftMaster/Sears is called Security plus), you should take the following steps.

1. Clear out anything previously programmed into the in-car system from the factory by holding down on the 2-outside buttons simultaneously, until the in-car red light starts flashing rapidly. This may take up to a minute. (In a few cases, some make cars require the keys to be in the ignition, or the car motor must be running, or the car door must be shut)

2. Decide which button you want to make to be your in-car garage door transmitter. Hold your transmitter up near the selected button, pressing both the garage door remote and the selected in-car transmitter button simultaneously. Hold down on the buttons until the in-car, red light flashes rapidly. This sets the in-car remote transmitter to be your garage door openers make transmitter, but you are not done. You now need to make this in-car transmitter your personal transmitter.

3. Go to the Learn Button on your garage door opener. The button is usually next to the area where the floppy antenna is connected to the motor head. With Genie it is most often behind the light lens, and an indicator light flashes red when pressed. With Sears or LiftMaster (Chamberlain) it is near, or part of, the terminal screw board, and is a red, green or purple square button with a green, amber or purple indicator light. Press this learn button momentarily. The indicator light will turn on and blink if Genie or otherwise stay lit. Go back to the in-car transmitter button you programmed and press this

button 3 or 4 times, or until the door starts moving. This should set your in-car transmitter to your garage door opener.
