KFX2
UHF FM CODE HOPPING REMOTE CONTROL
KEYFOB TRANSMITTER
The KFX2 is a UHF code hopping 5
button keyfob transmitter for use
with the matching KDEC decoder or
KRX-416-000-DIL decoder IC to
provide a remote controlled link in
excess of 100 metres over open
ground.
Features
Figure 1: KFX2
Designed to comply with harmonised radio standard EN 300 220-3, EMC standard EN 301 489-3
and low voltage directive.
Usable range typically >100 m
Versions available on 433.92MHz and 434.42MHz (others by request, please contact sales)
Available in 1 to 5 button formats
Led indication of transmission
Lithium batteries for long life (6V)
Available for operation at 433.92MHz or 434.42MHz in the UK and Europe, they combine full internal
filtering to ensure EMC compliance by minimising spurious radiations and susceptibilities. The KFX2 will
suit one-to-one wireless remote control links in applications including car and building security and
remote home/industrial control.

Functional description
Keypad numbers refer to relay outputs of the KDEC decoder board (refer to KDEC data sheet).
The led is illuminated each time any of the buttons are pressed to indicate transmission, either
momentary or, continuous transmission up to a maximum of 30 seconds.
Battery voltage is monitored and will give a low battery indication at the receiving end when the voltage
drops to 4v +/- 5%.
Power is supplied by the use of 2 CR1220 3V (6V total) Lithium button cells to achieve long battery life
over extended periods.
Battery Replacement
The KFX uses 2 CR1220 lithium button cells, these are stacked into the holder one on top of the other
with the (–) terminal facing down and the (+) sign uppermost for both cells.
Reverse polarity protection is built into the KFX to prevent damage to the circuitry.
To open the case care should be taken not to damage the casing, the best method is to use a “flat” headed screwdriver
inserted into the key ring holder area where shown, and then, a gentle twisting action to “pop” the casing apart.
The case is re assembled by simply aligning the two halves together and then firmly snapping them together by hand.
