Fixed code remotes
Fixed code remotes send a single code, repeated for as long as the button is held. Receivers and control panels learn the code. Each button on 2 and 4 button remotes can send a different code, so that the control panel can have a different function for each button. Most households use the same code programmed onto several remotes. Secure sites like apartment blocks use a differet code for each dwelling, so that a code can be deleted when a tennant leaves.
Remotes usually learn their code from an existing working remote. This process is known as cloning or learning. The older fixed codes were 12 bit, meaning there are 4096 possible combinations. More secure codes introduced later are 24 bit , meaning there are 4096 x 4096 possible codes, about 16 million. Later remotes can learn 12 or 24 bit codes, so long as the frequency is the same.
Rolling code remotes
Every Rolling code remote has a unique identity (like a pin and chip card) . They cannot be copied or changed. There are 6 sextillion codes. The receiver or control panel memorizes each remote, and each remote can be deleted individually. Each manufacturer has a Rolling code licence and manufacturer code embedded in their remotes and receivers so that only their products are compatible. However, the rolling code (normally 32 bits long) is preceded by a 32 bit fixed code that can be learned by some receivers, including our FA.R40 series. This fixed part also includes 4 bits that identify which button is being pressed, so saving one button on a rolling code remote automatically enables all the other buttons.
Frequency
Countries around the world licence different frequencies. Europe has dropped the old 30.9MHz frequency, and UK's 26.9MHz frequency has gone out of favour. UK and Europe have standardised on 433MHz and 868MHz.
FD-154

FD-164
4 button fixed code remote


The FD160 series is a premium remote with a silk rubberised finish. Available in red or black. Each button is independantly programmed. Remotes will learn 12 bit or 24 bit codes and some rolling codes. Includes 2x 2016 batteries.
FA-R42
2 channel form A
FA-R43
2 channel formA + formC
FA-R44
2 channel form A + Wifi


R40 series universal receivers are for 433MHz remotes. These receivers learn fixed codes from 12 bit to 40 bit, and 32 bit rolling code prefixes. Includes a pig tail antenna.
Each channel has a has a learn button. Each code (meaning each button) can be saved as a momentary action or a toggle action. It is the toggle action that is used for the hold open function.
All codes can be deleted, but individual codes cannot be deleted. The memory device can be transfered to another receiver, but not copied.
FA-62
2 channel keypad
FA-62 is a 2 channel battery operated keypad on 433MHz. Each channel has an unique rolling code. The keys are illuminated as soon as the first keys are sent. Enter the code, then * for channel 1 and # for channel 2. Compatible with FA.R40 series.
New codes are set via the keypad and using a mastercode. The keypad uses a single coin cell battery. The housing is IP66 with a weather protection door.
FR-11
2 channel betton


FA-11 is a 2 channel battery operated remote fixed into a wall mounted housing. The remote can be removed and used as an auxilliary remote. keypad. Two rolling codes on 433MHz. The remote uses a single coin cell battery. The housing is for indoor use only.
FA-R10
2 channel betton


AIR active Infrared sensors detect presence by reflection of IR emitted by the sensor. PIR passive infrared sensors only detect movement of IR emitting objects. The FA-R10 wireless sensor is attractive on sites with poor infra-structure. Compatible with FA-R40 series receivers.
