GTR197 Remote External Receiver Manual | Rev 03 7
Below is an example of how the GTR197 external receiver will wire into a non-Richmond opener to
allow you to use your existing Richmond remote.
For the below example, the GTR197 external receiver would be wired as follows:
GTR197 Red + into External Accessory Power Terminal +
GTR197 White GRN into External Accessory Power Terminal –
GTR197 Black COM into Terminal Block Terminal 2
GTR197 White OPEN into Terminal Block Terminal 1
If you need assistance finding your connection points, or are unsure if your
motor is suitable, please contact the team at Richmond Wheel & Castor Co.
Control Panel:
1. To power the external receiver, you will need a 12 or 24 volt AC or DC power supply.
In the example below, this is marked as “External Accessory Power”
2. To operate the gate/garage opener, the external receiver will need to connect into the PC board.
For residential openers, most will have an input for an external push button. In the example below, terminals 2
& 5 are used for the push button. This will be the input for your external receiver.
For commercial openers, some may have separate functions for Open, Stop and Close.
The wiring example below will support this function
1. External Accessory Power: 30V dc 50 mA available for universal receiver
2. Terminal Block: Used for external accessories (see chart below)
