Description
The ATA MegaCode Receiver is a high-capacity four-channel TrioCode128 receiver designed for larger garage door, gate and access control installations where advanced transmitter management and multiple control outputs are required.
Unlike a basic stand-alone receiver, the MegaCode incorporates an LCD display and menu-driven programming system, making it significantly easier to manage large numbers of transmitters, configure the receiver and maintain an access control system.
With memory for up to 511 transmitters and four separate control channels, the MegaCode Receiver is particularly suited to apartment complexes, strata properties, commercial sites and other multi-user installations.
ATA Part Number: 14820
📡 High-Capacity TrioCode128 Receiver
The ATA MegaCode Receiver provides a central wireless receiver for compatible ATA TrioCode transmitters.
It is designed for installations requiring substantially greater transmitter capacity than a standard garage door or gate receiver.
The receiver can store up to:
- 511 transmitters
This makes it particularly useful for sites with a large number of authorised users.
4️⃣ Four Independent Channels
The MegaCode Receiver provides four control channels and can operate up to four separate devices.
Depending on the installation, these channels can be used to control functions such as:
- Automatic gates
- Garage doors
- Boom gates
- Pedestrian gates
- Access control devices
- Other compatible automation equipment
This allows one receiver to form the central radio control system for multiple access points.
🖥️ LCD Display
The MegaCode Receiver incorporates an LCD display for programming and system management.
The display provides a considerably more convenient interface than receivers relying only on small programming buttons and LED sequences.
This is particularly valuable when managing a system containing hundreds of transmitters.
⚙️ Menu-Driven Programming
The receiver uses a menu-driven control system.
The integrated programming console allows installers and system administrators to access the receiver’s available configuration and transmitter management functions directly from the unit.
This makes ongoing system administration easier for larger installations.
🎮 511 Transmitter Memory
The ATA MegaCode Receiver provides memory for up to 511 transmitters.
This high capacity makes the receiver particularly well suited to applications such as:
- Apartment complexes
- Strata buildings
- Gated communities
- Commercial properties
- Business parks
- Industrial facilities
- Staff car parks
- Shared residential garages
Individual compatible transmitters can be programmed into the system according to the requirements of the installation.
🏢 Ideal for Strata & Apartment Buildings
Large shared-access installations can quickly exceed the transmitter capacity of a standard garage door or gate receiver.
With capacity for up to 511 transmitters, the MegaCode Receiver provides a more appropriate solution for buildings with large numbers of residents or authorised users.
Typical applications include:
- Apartment basement garages
- Strata car parks
- Shared driveway gates
- Residential complexes
- Gated communities
🏭 Commercial Access Control
The MegaCode Receiver is also suitable for commercial and industrial installations requiring a large number of authorised transmitters.
Applications can include:
- Staff vehicle entrances
- Warehouse gates
- Factory entrances
- Commercial car parks
- Business parks
- Storage facilities
- Industrial access points
The four-channel configuration also allows multiple entrances or automation devices to be controlled from the same receiver.
🚪 Control Multiple Garage Doors
The four-channel design allows a single MegaCode Receiver to control multiple compatible garage door systems.
For example:
- Channel 1 – Garage Door 1
- Channel 2 – Garage Door 2
- Channel 3 – Garage Door 3
- Channel 4 – Garage Door 4
The actual configuration depends on the equipment connected to each receiver output.
🚧 Control Multiple Gates
The same four-channel capability can be used across automatic gate installations.
For example:
- Channel 1 – Main Vehicle Gate
- Channel 2 – Secondary Vehicle Gate
- Channel 3 – Pedestrian Gate
- Channel 4 – Additional Access Point
This makes the MegaCode particularly useful where one transmitter system needs to operate several access points.
🏠 Combined Gate & Garage Door Systems
The four channels do not need to operate the same type of automation equipment.
A compatible system can incorporate a combination of garage doors, gates and other access points.
For example:
- Channel 1 – Driveway Gate
- Channel 2 – Main Garage Door
- Channel 3 – Secondary Garage Door
- Channel 4 – Pedestrian Access
Users can then operate the required access point using the appropriately programmed button on their compatible transmitter.
🎮 PTX-5v2 Compatible
The ATA MegaCode TrioCode128 Receiver is compatible with the ATA PTX-5v2 transmitter.
The PTX-5v2 is a four-button ATA TrioCode transmitter commonly used across ATA garage door and gate automation systems.
🎮 PTX-6 Compatible
The receiver is also compatible with the newer ATA PTX-6 series of transmitters.
This allows compatible installations to use current ATA transmitters while retaining the high-capacity MegaCode receiver architecture.
🔐 TrioCode128 Technology
This version of the MegaCode Receiver supports ATA TrioCode128 transmitter technology.
TrioCode128 is ATA’s secure wireless coding platform used across compatible current-generation transmitters and automation products.
The receiver can therefore be used to provide TrioCode remote-control functionality to compatible third-party or older automation equipment through its wired outputs.
🔄 Upgrade Existing Automation Equipment
Because the MegaCode operates as a stand-alone receiver, it can be used to add compatible ATA remote-control functionality to suitable existing automation systems.
This can be useful when:
- Existing receiver memory is insufficient
- A larger transmitter database is required
- Multiple automation systems need to use the same transmitter family
- An older receiver system is being upgraded
- Several access points need to be consolidated into one receiver
Compatibility with the automation equipment ultimately depends on the available control inputs and required output configuration.
🧠 Easier Transmitter Management
Managing hundreds of remote controls can be difficult with a basic receiver.
The MegaCode’s LCD display and integrated console provide a more practical interface for maintaining a large transmitter database.
Available management functions include facilities for managing stored transmitters and receiver parameters.
This makes the receiver particularly useful where transmitters regularly need to be added, removed or maintained.
🔍 System Diagnostics
The integrated console also provides access to diagnostic functions.
This can assist technicians when commissioning or troubleshooting a large access control installation.
Having the programming interface built directly into the receiver eliminates the need for a separate handheld programmer for many receiver management functions.
🔌 Wired Receiver Integration
The MegaCode is a wired stand-alone receiver.
It receives wireless commands from compatible ATA transmitters and provides control outputs for connection to the automation equipment.
This allows the receiver to be incorporated into suitable:
- Garage door operators
- Gate operators
- Boom gates
- Access control systems
- Other compatible control equipment
The connected equipment must provide a suitable control input for the receiver output.
🛠️ Professional Access Control Solution
The combination of four channels, 511-transmitter capacity and menu-driven programming makes the MegaCode particularly suitable for professional access control installations.
Compared with a basic single or dual-channel receiver, it provides substantially greater capacity and management functionality for larger sites.

⚠️ Please Note
This listing is for the ATA MegaCode TrioCode128 Receiver, part number 14820.
The receiver provides four control channels and memory for up to 511 transmitters.
The receiver does not automatically make an incompatible remote control work with an existing automation system. Transmitters must use a coding technology supported by the MegaCode receiver.
When retrofitting the receiver to third-party automation equipment, confirm that the equipment provides suitable control inputs for the receiver outputs.
The published compatibility information specifically identifies the ATA PTX-5v2 and PTX-6 transmitter families.
Programming and wiring should be completed according to the ATA MegaCode installation instructions and the requirements of the connected automation equipment.
