ATA PTX-6V1 Genuine Grey Remote

About the ATA PTX-6V1 Genuine Grey Remote

This page carries the answer to the question people ask most often about ATA remotes, which is what to do when the motor is older than the remote range.

ATA has run three incompatible radio systems over the years. The oldest was 27 MHz, using the TX handsets. Then came SecuraCode on 433 MHz. TrioCode, which is what this remote speaks, is the current one. A TrioCode handset will not open a SecuraCode or a 27 MHz motor, and no amount of programming changes that, because the two are not speaking the same language.

What the supplier publishes, and it is the useful part, is that those older motors can be brought forward with a TrioCode receiver card fitted to the motor. The card gives an older opener a TrioCode receiver, after which a handset like this one codes to it normally. That is a real path rather than a fob off, and it is usually cheaper and considerably less disruptive than replacing a motor that is otherwise working perfectly well.

It is not a job to attempt from a listing page, though. Which card suits depends on the motor and it has to go inside the head. Ring our domestic line on 1300 736 683 Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm and describe the motor, or send a photograph of the label, and we will tell you whether a card is the answer for yours.

Sorted by code, the openers it suits are the DCB-05, the GDO-6, GDO-6v3 and GDO-6v4, the GDO-7v2 and GDO-7v3, the GDO-8v3 ASM, the GDO-9, GDO-9v2, GDO-9v2S2 and GDO-9v3, the GDO-10v1, the GDO-11v1, GDO-11v3 and GDO-12, the ATS-2, the NES-24v1, the RD-20V1 and the SGO-1. In marketing names those are the EasyRoller, SecuraLift, Shed Master, Dynamo, Enduro, Dominator, Toro, Tempo, NeoSlider and Elite units.

It measures 3.87 cm across, 7.46 cm long and 1.27 cm deep. A CR2032 is supplied fitted and the cover needs a tool.

A grey remote and a black remote in the same house are easier to keep straight than two of the same colour, and the two shells cost the same. If you are buying a second handset and you already have the black one, buying grey costs nothing and saves an argument.
