Description

This receiver gives you eight open collector outputs. The output mode can be set to momentary, latching or security latching.
The user can select 8 different narrow-band frequencies and program an unlimited number of transmitters to the receiver. With a narrow band FM 151MHz signal from the transmitter a line of sight operating range of 5000 meters is possible. The receiver uses a crystal oscillator circuit that ensures high- frequency stability allowing optimal performance in the receiving range.

Different Modes for each Output

Modes are user selectable from the 4-way dip switch, shown below.

DIP Switch Mode Settings
The output relay will respond in the following manner when receiving the correct signal from a transmitter

| “All ‘All Momentary”: Relay on, only while the correct signal is received
| “All Latching”: Outputs alternate at every correct incoming signal
| “Momentary & Latching”: Outputs 1-4 are momentary & 5-8 are latching
| “Security Latching on”: Outputs will be on until supply to the receiver is momentarily interrupted
| “Momentary & Latching “: Outputs 1-6 are momentary & 7-8 are latching
| “Momentary & Latching “: Outputs 1-2 are momentary & 3-8 are latching
| “Momentary & Latching “: Outputs 1-3 are momentary & 4-8 are latching
| “Security Latching on”: Output I is security latching & 2-8 are momentary
| ” Security Latching on “: Output 1-7 is latching & 8 is momentary.

Momentary – Output is active for as long as the transmitter button is pressed.
This is a standard mode on most automatic gates or garage door openers.
Latching – Output remains active until the next press of the transmitter button.
Similar to switching “on” and “off” a light.
Security Latching – Output remains active until power to the receiver is removed. Similar to security alarms and fire alarms.
Customized Software
Custom output modes can be programmed to do special functions. Call Elsa for more details.
Coding
The 12-way dip switch on the receiver sets the 12-bit unique code for the system. This has to be matched to that on the transmitter. Do not use the factory default code.

Signal Strength Indicator

The 151MHz receivers have five blue LEDs on the board. The table below indicates the level of the valid transmitted signal.

Noise Strength Indicator
If more than 1 led is “ON” without a valid transmission, this indicates that there is noise on the frequency selected.
Change the 3-way dipswitch on the receiver module to select a different frequency.
Following is a table with the Dipswitch settings and the corresponding frequencies.

Application Notes
Care should be taken with the solid-state outputs that they are protected from inductive loads. This is done by connecting diodes across your DC inductive load. Inductive loads such as DC relays must be clamped with a diode across the relay coil. If this is not done the spikes generated by the DC relay can lock-up the receiver. When a lock-up occurs you will need to remove the power and re-connect it.
