Supplied in either a rugged aluminium or Polypropylene IP65 rated enclosures, these encoders are complete and ready to operate. Power supply is by 2 x PP3 batteries. Each encoder may be used with one of RF Solutions decoders. When paired with one of the RF Solutions Decoders, a complete high security “code hopping” remote control system may be achieved. Custom solutions may also be supplied unique to customer specific requirements. Please contact RF Solutions for further information. DS103_3 Jan ‘01 ©2001 Reg. No. 227 4001, ENGLAND 107 Series Page 1 103 & 107 SERIES RADIO TRANSMITTER ENCODERS Operation The Tx encoder transmits the KEELOQ code for as long as any push-button switch is depressed. Operation of the Tx encoder buttons will cause either a momentary or a latching action at the Rx decoder, depending on the configuration of the Rx decoder. Low Battery When the unit measures a low battery voltage level, the transmit LED flashes during transmission, and the data transmitted includes a ‘Low battery’ status flag to the receiver decoder. Power Supply The circuit has been designed to operate from 2 PP3 Batteries. Always use Alkaline for long battery life.. Note: reverse voltage polarity connection will cause damage to the circuit. Antenna An external ¼ wave flexi antenna is supplied with this product. This has been optimised to provide maximum range. License Exemption The transmitter encoders use ECM compliant radio transmitter modules and comply with ETSI330-220. KEELOQ Protocol Configuration All devices are supplied with a RF Solutions manufacturers ID, directly compatible for use with RF Solutions decoders. Each encoder is supplied ready programmed with a unique random serial number. The decoder has the ability to memorise this serial number using a simple learn procedure (please see decoder datasheet). How does KEELOQ technology work? KEELOQ is based on a code hopping algorithm which provides Rock Solid Security. KEELOQ uses a programmable 64-bit encryption key that is unique to each device to generate 32-bit hopping code. The key length and hopping code combination reduces the possibility of unwanted access, due to code grabbing and code scanning, to essentially zero. Such CIA-like levels of security are desirable, but many manufacturers would expect them to be cost-prohibitive. KEELOQ offers the solution for affordable, Rock Solid Security that is the future of technology for the cars, homes and offices we wish to protect. Programming the manufacturers ID / Custom Protocol Configuration Access to the to the HCS360 KEELOQ encoder is through the connector J8. For supply of custom programmed product please see the form ‘KEELOQ configuration template’ this is the information we require in order to supply custom programmed devices. DS103_3 Jan ‘01 ©2001 Reg.
