The Genie 36163R Intellicode Receiver Only for GIRUD-1 is the replacement radio receiver module used in the Genie GIRUD-1/GIRUD-1T Universal Dual Frequency Conversion Kit. Designed to add secure Intellicode rolling-code remote control to existing garage door openers, this receiver connects to the opener’s wall-button/trigger terminals and listens on dual frequencies to help minimize interference. It supports Genie’s Intellicode technology for enhanced security and is ideal when the original GIRUD-1 receiver needs to be replaced without changing the rest of the kit.
This receiver operates on Genie’s dual-frequency platform (commonly 315 and 390 MHz) and is intended for use with the power supply included in the GIRUD-1 kit. Installation typically involves mounting the receiver near the opener, connecting two low-voltage wires to the opener’s push-button input, and powering the receiver with the kit’s transformer. Programming uses the standard Genie “Learn” procedure, allowing it to work with the Intellicode remote(s) supplied with GIRUD-1 and other compatible Genie Intellicode transmitters. Frequently used as an upgrade or replacement part for residential garage door openers across many brands that accept a dry-contact input, this universal-style receiver should be installed indoors with the antenna oriented per instructions for best range. Always disconnect power before wiring and follow manufacturer safety guidance.
