ATA PTX-4 Genuine Remote

About the ATA PTX-4 Genuine Remote

Those two colours are the identification worth memorising, because the aftermarket versions of this handset have appeared in grey, red and pink over the years. Blue case with grey buttons means ATA made it.

It suits the CRX-1 and CRX-2 receivers, the GDO-2v5, GDO-2v6 and GDO-2v7 SecuraLift, the GDO-4v3 through GDO-4v6 EasyRoller, the GDO-6v1 and GDO-6v2 Slim Drive EasyRoller, the GDO-7v1 SecuraLift, the GDO-8v1 and GDO-8v2 EasyRoller II, and the GDO-9v1 SecuraLift.

PTX5 remotes are excluded, and that one line is the most important sentence on this page. It divides ATA's 433 MHz range in two, and a customer on the wrong side of it will buy a remote that never codes. Our Code Ezy ATA PTX-4 Compatible Remote page explains how to tell which side you are on.

ATA publish the programming method for this handset where they do not for the copies: learn to receiver. You put the motor into learn mode and press the button, and the receiver stores the remote. Nothing is set inside the handset, no switches, no copying from another remote. It means a household that has lost every remote it owns can still be served, so long as somebody can reach the motor to put it into learn mode.

The coding is rolling, so a new code goes out on every press and a device that records the signal in your driveway cannot use it later.

It is a compact unit at roughly 3.59 cm wide, 6.82 cm long and 1.46 cm deep, running four independently coded channels from a 23A 12V cell that comes fitted. The 23A is cylindrical rather than a coin cell and the compartment needs a tool. Note that the genuine handset ships with the battery and the instructions but no key ring, where several of the compatibles include one.

Buying genuine on this range is mostly about range and longevity rather than function. The compatibles code to the same receivers and cost considerably less. What ATA's own handset gives you is the transmitter the receiver was designed around, which shows up at distance and on doors behind masonry.

If a brand new genuine remote will not code at all, the receiver is the thing to look at rather than the handset. CRX receivers of this vintage do fail, and an Allgate technician can test one rather than leaving you to buy a second remote to find out.
