USAutomatic 030217 Remote Control Transmitter Product Details
The USAutomatic 030217 is a high-security style remote transmitter used for compatible USAutomatic radio receiver systems. It provides wireless gate commands through the receiver installed at the gate operator. This type of transmitter is selected when the site uses the matching USAutomatic receiver family rather than the older dip-switch LCR transmitter family.
Because USAutomatic has offered multiple radio options over time, this part should be matched carefully. The presence of a Patriot, Ranger, Sentry, or other USAutomatic operator does not automatically confirm remote compatibility. Open the control box and identify the receiver part number before ordering, especially when a property has had receivers changed or upgraded.

Technician Note
The easiest way to avoid a wrong remote is to identify the receiver inside the control box. The receiver model and radio family matter more than the operator name printed on the gate opener.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the receiver model is compatible with 030217.
- Do not substitute for 030210 or 030212 unless the receiver supports the transmitter family.
- Check receiver memory if the transmitter will not program.
- Replace the transmitter battery if range is weak on one remote only.
- Inspect antenna/coax and receiver power if all remotes have short range.
Professional Advisory
Only authorized users should be added to a gate receiver. For community or commercial gates, programming should be controlled by the property manager, installer, or responsible service company.
Product Questions & Answers
Is 030217 the same as the 030210 LCR remote?
No. 030217 is a high-security transmitter family, while 030210 is an LCR dip-switch transmitter. Receiver compatibility must be confirmed.
Which receivers are commonly associated with 030217?
Common references include USAutomatic receivers 030205, 030207, and 030200 when those receivers support the transmitter family.
Can it work on Patriot, Ranger, and Sentry gates?
It may work on those systems when the installed receiver is compatible. The operator model alone is not enough to confirm fitment.
Why will the remote not program?
Possible causes include the wrong receiver family, full receiver memory, no receiver power, weak battery, poor antenna connection, or incorrect programming steps.
Can I mix this with older dip-switch transmitters?
Only if the receiver is designed to support that transmitter family. Do not assume mixed transmitter styles are interchangeable.
