General Information

The RQT-433-RCVR is a 433.92 MHz keyfob receiver
designed for use with the Ritron RQT Series transmitter.
When installed, the RQT-433-RCVR allows the user to
activate RQT pre-recorded messages by pressing a
small keyfob transmitter. Ritron model keyfobs are pre-
set to activate 1 of 8 RQT messages. Simply record
your desired voice message into the RQT Series
transmitter using the RQT PC Programmer and you are
ready to go.

RQT Radio Operation

For RQT models with an RQT-433-RCVR installed, any
of the 4 RQT inputs can be programmed for "KEYFOB"
operation. This will allow that input to operate on 2 pre-
assigned Ritron keyfobs per the following chart:
RQT Input Pre-assigned Keyfob Models
Input 1 RQT-KEYFOB-1
Input 2 RQT-KEYFOB-3
Input 3 RQT-KEYFOB-5
Input 4 RQT-KEYFOB-7
Once an RQT input is set for "KEYFOB" operation it will
no longer respond to switch closures or analog signals,
the two input messages can only be activated by the two
keyfobs assigned to that input. Refer to the RQT

RQT-KEYFOB-4
RQT-KEYFOB-6
RQT-KEYFOB-8
Programming section of this manual for details of
KEYFOB input programming and the associated
programming options available.
Once the radio has been programmed and installed,
Ritron model keyfobs can be used to activate the RQT
transmitter and broadcast a unique, user recorded voice
message associated with the specific keyfob.
EXAMPLE:
RQT Input 1 is set for "KEYFOB" operation with
"Assistance needed in classroom 111" recorded for
RQT-KEYFOB-1 and "Assistance needed in classroom
112" recorded for RQT-KEYFOB-2. Ritron keyfobs
RQT-KEYFOB-1 and RQT-KEYFOB-2 can now
activate these two recorded messages respectively.

Effect on RQT Radio Battery Life

In order for the RQT-433-RCVR receiver to reliably
decode signals from the keyfob transmitters, RQT radio
models with the RQT-433-RCVR keyfob receiver
installed have increased current requirements and do
not operate in the low current "standby" mode.
Therefore, battery life is severely reduced and it is
recommended that the RQT be externally powered.
Where battery life of an RQT radio would normally be
about 1 year, it drops to about 2 weeks with the RQT-
433-RCVR installed.
