Abstract:
1. A system for translating codes from a first format to operate a barrier operator system, the system comprising: a translator device configured to receive, using a pre-programmed native mode of operation comprising programming steps and/or utilized data and operational parameters that are present and available to the translator device without need for an end user to enter such content or for the translator device to acquire such content via a learning mode of operation, a first barrier actuation code transmitted by a transmitter according to a first code format, analyze the first barrier actuation code according to the first code format, verify that the first barrier actuation code is a valid code, and when the first barrier actuation code is verified to be a valid code saving the information contained in the code, creating a second barrier actuation code at least in part from information contained in the first actuation code, and transmit the second barrier actuation code according to the second code format, the second code format being different from the first code format; and a barrier operator coupled to the translator device and a barrier, the barrier operator having a receiver, the receiver receiving the second barrier actuation code transmitted according to the second code format from the translator device, the barrier operator determining whether the second barrier actuation code transmitted according to the second code format is valid, and when the barrier actuation code is determined to be valid, actuating the barrier.
