PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

RadioControl-4 is a superheterodyne receiver operating at the frequency 433,92
MHz. It's a one-way system, controlling 4 power SPDT relays according to orders
sent by remote controls.
The link between remote control and receiver is only effective after a learning phase.
Up to 80 different remote key can be associated to local outputs by means of simple
learning sequence.
Outputs can operate in toggle or pulse mode (output activated until key pressed).
The connections are suitable for use in domestic and industrial environments.
Receiver type: Superheterodyne
Demodulation: AM/ ASK
Operating frequency: 433,92 MHz
Sensitivity: -115 dBm
Command encoding: Keeloq hopping code
Input impedance: 50 Ohm
Temperature: operating -20 to 70°C
storage and transport –30 to 85°C
Overall dimensions: 140 x 115 x 52 mm.
Weight: 420 g
IP Protection Grade: IP 44 ( EN-60529 /
5 2
The receiver position is very important for the best operation of the system.
Place the receiver far from interference sources such as big magnetic fields or radio
emissions. The installation and the positioning of the antenna is very important as
well. Before to install the antenna it is advisable to make some tests on the site.

OR CONTROLLED LOADS.
Process or appliance can be controlled by means of 4 SPDT
relay contacts. Two contacts are provided with onboard fuse.
It's suitable to drive an external relay when controlling fluorescent
or discharge lamps and in general inductive or capacitive loads
when power is greater than 35W.
Each output can be activated also by
means of optionals local push buttons
wired to specific connector.

A wire, ¼ wave (17 cm) length (included) can be used like
simplified antenna. Connect this wire to terminal 15 and leave
the wire inside the plastic box.
Any 433 MHz antenna can be used instead of simple wire. Use shielded cable type
RG58 for the antenna connection. Shield must be connected to terminal 16.

ANTENNA

This simplified antenna can be located remotely using a
coaxial cable with its braid stripped over the last 17 cm.
This length is that which has to extend outside the housing if
the latter is metallic.
