First Claim
Patent Images
1. A code responsive security system for an operational apparatus, comprising:
- a controller for controlling the operational apparatus in response to receipt of a received code when said received code matches a stored code;
a receiver for receiving a base band signal indicative of a code to be stored in a code storage unit;
a code generator for generating a code to be stored in said code storage unit; and
, an input device for enabling code learning.

Abstract
A movable barrier or garage door operator has a control head controlling an electric motor connected to a movable barrier or garage door to open and close it. The control head has an RF receiver for receiving RF signals from a hand-held transmitter or a fixed keypad transmitter. The receiver operates the electric motor upon matching a received code with a stored code. The stored codes may be updated or loaded either by enabling the learn mode of the receiver from the fixed keypad transmitter or from a wired control unit positioned within the garage.
