DIGIDOOR II ON BOARD RECEIVER

The Digitronic e-key transmitter operates in conjunction with the Digidoor II on board receiver,
giving a secure, code-hopping remote control system that may include multiple transmitters. Code
hopping means that a new code is used each time a transmitter button is pressed. The textured,
orange button is intended for special functions, such as Panic alarms.
Each Digitronic e-key transmitter has a unique identity, which, together with the hopping code, is
learnt by the receiver before the system will function. This simple procedure will also identify the
transmitter button to which the receiver will respond. No code switches need to be set.
Coding the Digidoor II with onboard receiver via the wall console:
1. On initial coding, it is advisable to start with Erase all.
2. The learning function via the wall console.
With power on, turn the light off using the toggle button.
3. Press and hold the light toggle button in for 5 secs.
The light will come on and after 5 seconds go of. Release the button and the light will come
again.
4. Within 30 secs, press the required button on the Digi-e key transmitter, the light on the Digidoor
will go off.
5. Press the same button on the transmitter again and the light on the Digidoor will flash
repeatedly. The Transmitter is ready for use
If, during step 5, the LED lights solidly for second, then the procedure has failed. Repeat steps 2
to 5.
The receiver will now respond to that transmitter button.
For safekeeping, store the link in its original left-hand position.
Your Digitronic e-key transmitter is now ready for use.
Additional Transmitters:
Repeat steps 1 to 5 above for any extra transmitters that are required to operate the receiver.
Different buttons may be used on each transmitter to operate the same device. Each receiver
may learn a maximum of 32 transmitters.

COMPLEX RECEIVER
Description
The DIGITRONIC COMPLEX receiver (Rx) is a multi-user unit, intended for the gates of Town
house complexes or commercial premises. It employs secure single channel code hopping, is latch
or pulse selectable, and operates with up to 500 Digi e-key 4-button transmitters (TX). Other
features include selective adding and deleting of transmitters in specific locations, and erase all.
Only Digi e-key transmitters can be used with this receiver!
Application
The DIGITRONIC COMPLEX receiver does not require careful record keeping of each TX and in
which position in EEPROM it has been stored. Instead, the COMPLEX receiver is designed to
accommodate 100 different town houses/units, with each being allocated 5 different positions for
storing Digi e-key transmitters, giving a total of 500.
If a transmitter is lost, it is possible to delete a single existing code from a units block of five, or the
entire block of five.
Coding Procedure
The Complex Receiver records the codes of each e-key Transmitter button by means of a
coding procedure. No setting of DIP-switches is necessary.
During normal operation, the decimal point of the 7-segment display will flash to show that
signals are being received.
To select normal operation the link LK 2 must be in the upper NORM position as in Fig. 1.

If a transmitter is lost, in order to maintain the high level of security, it is important to

Remove that transmitter code from the Complex receiver as in (II) above. The lost TX
will no longer be able to operate the receiver.
An e-key transmitter cannot be added to more than one location on the Complex receiver.
However, an e-key transmitter can be used to operate several different Complex
receivers.
If a transmitter isre-added to the receiver using a different button code, the new button
code will replace the previous one. However care should be taken to select the same
town house/unit number as before. Refer note 5.
Button code: Any single button or combination of up to four buttons.

Latch / Pulse Operation

Latch or pulse (500 ms-minimum) operation can be selected via the Latch/Pulse solder link (O1).
If not soldered, Pulse operation is the default.
Learned button Codes
If solder link O2 is soldered then any of the four buttons on an e-key transmitter will be
recognized by the receiver, regardless of which button was used during adding. If left
unsoldered, only the button code that was used during adding will be recognized.
Output
The receiver relay output may be linked via the COM link to Negative (-), Positive (+) or removed
for potential free. The factory default is Negative output (Fig 1).
TX Identification
If during normal operation the unit number or transmitter number needs to be identified, the
unique TX identification feature can be used. Press and hold the UP button. Now press the
transmitter. The unit number will be displayed. No output will be generated. To display the
location number, press and hold the DOWN button. Now press the transmitter. The transmitter
number will be displayed. No output will be generated. If the both points on the display are also
on this indicates that the TX battery voltage is low and will need to be replaced.

DUAL CHANNEL RECEIVER

The Digitronic Keeloq receiver is a secure dual channel code-hopping receiver.
Each channel will accept thirty-two Digitronic e-key transmitters. Either latch or pulse mode on
either channel can be selected on the receiver.
Connections
Power is supplied to the receiver via screw terminals marked + and -. The supply voltages can
vary from 10 to 30 Vdc or 9 to 24 Vac. Wire the potential free contacts of the relays to the
devices to be controlled.
Adding a transmitter to the receiver (learning a code):
1.
Select and press the required channel button (1 or 2) the channel LED will flash to
indicate that the channel is in pulse learn mode. If latching mode is required for this channel
press the channel select button again. The LED will go to steady on which indicates that this
channel is now in the Latching learn mode. To return to normal operating mode press the
channel select button once more and the LED will turn off.
2.
Press the selected button for this channel on the transmitter. The channel LED will fast
flash to indicate that a signal is detected.
3.
Press the same button on the transmitter again to confirm your selection. The channel
LED on the receiver will slowly flash four times to confirm your transmitter button selection. To
add more transmitters to your system repeat steps 1 to 3.
Note 1: Once Pulse or Latch mode was selected and a transmitter memorized for that channel,
then the channel will default to the mode first selected when adding more transmitters.
Note 2: The receiver will not support transmitter button combinations.
Erasing all transmitters on the system:
With power applied press and hold the channel 2 button for 10 Seconds, until both channels
LEDs light up and stay on for 10 seconds. The receiver will erase all transmitters.
During operation:
During normal operation, the channel LEDs will indicate signal reception. If an invalid
Keeloqremote code is received both channels LEDs will illuminate while the signal is present.
If a Valid Keeloq signal for the receiver is received both LEDs will illuminate followed by a
pulse on the appropriate channel LED

DUAL CHANNEL WIRELESS KEYPAD (MotX)

Product description:
The MotX is a dual channel transmitter that can be activated by entering a suitable code. This
code can be a combination of either 1 or 9 digits. The unit can be used indoor or outdoors. The
transmission frequency of 433.29 MHz with rolling code technology ensures that the transmitted
code is changed at each transmission session.
Estimated transmission range: 100m open space and 35 indoors. The battery life of 2 years can
be expected when ten transmissions per day is utilized. The keypad is illuminated low ambient
light conditions. The unit will auto shut down when not in use for longer than 10 consecutive
seconds.
Installation:
Perform a test to ensure the best placement of the unit, keeping in mind that you will lose range
when the battery power is low.
Fixing the unit to the surface is done by opening the back cover with a special tool.
Method of use:
The use of the keypad is based on combinations of numbers between 1 and 9. Once the
combination is entered then either the left or right arrow is pressed to confirm the activation
command. Factory settings will be 11 left arrow (channel 1) or 22 right arrow (channel 2). When
an incorrect code is transmitted the unit will indicate a warning signal when trying to confirm with
the arrows.
Changing a combination:
Channel 1(left arrow) or channel 2 (right arrow) depending on which channel to be used.
1. Press and hold the 0 key while pressing and releasing the left/right arrow key
2. Release the 0 key
3. Type the current combination and press the left/right arrow key
4. Type in the new combination and left/right arrow key
5. Type in the new combination again and press the left/right arrow key

INFRA RED SAFETY BEAMS

The Digitronic safety beam comprises of two units, which are mounted on either side of the gate
or the doorway. Alternatively, the units may be fitted to suitably mounted brackets or stanchions.
The opposing faces to which the units are to be mounted should be reasonably parallel.
Important! Choose a suitable mounting height on the pillars of the gate or doorway, low enough
to protect toddlers and pets, but not lower than the underside of a typical motor vehicle.

Remote Control Systems
Remote control via Radio Frequency (RF) or Infra Red (IR) is popular for many
applications, including vehicle alarms, domestic, industrial alarm applications and
automatic garage doors and gates. Conventional remote control systems are based on
unidirectional transmission and have limited security. More sophisticated devices based
on bi-directional transmission are also available but, because of their high cost and
certain practical disadvantages, they are not widely used in commercial remote control
devices. The popular unidirectional transmission systems currently have two very
important security shortcomings: the codes they transmit are usually fixed and the
number of possible code combinations is relatively small. Either of these
shortcomings can lead to unauthorized access.
Code Scanning
The limited number of possible combinations available in most remote control systems
makes it possible to transmit all possible combinations in a relatively short time. A hand
held microprocessor-based system for this purpose (called a code scanner) can easily
be constructed.
In systems using eight DIP switches (256 combinations), this scanning process can
typically be accomplished in less than 32 seconds (when trying eight combinations per
second). Even in systems using 16-bit keys (yielding roughly 65,000 combinations), only
2.25 hours would be required to try all possible combinations. It should also be noted
that the scanner may gain access in far less than this maximum time the average time
would in fact be half of the total time.
Scanning is counteracted by increasing the number of possible code combinations. A
66-bit code will yield
19
11
7.3 x 10 combination and will take 2.3 x 10 years to scan.
Code Grabbing
A remote control transmitter of the type normally used in vehicle, alarm, garage and gate
security systems is nothing but a small radio transmitter that transmits a code number on a
certain frequency. This code number is normally generated by an integrated circuit
encoder. The transmit frequency is normally fixed by legislation within a particular country,
enabling anybody to build a simple receiver that can receive signals from such a
transmitter. To understand its operation, it is useful to know something about remote
controls. It is a simple matter to build a circuit to record such transmissions captured by
the receiver. Such a device is known as a code or key grabber. A would-be thief would
typically wait until the owner arms his/her alarm with a remote control. The key grabber
would capture the transmitted code, enabling the thief to retransmit this code as soon as
the owner leaves. Typically, this would leave the alarm and/or immobilizers disabled and
even the central locking unlocked.

The Solution
It is apparent that secure remote control systems can only be implemented if certain

conditions are met. The KEELOQ code hopping system meets these conditions with
ease.
A large number of possible combinations must be available. A 66-bit transmission code is
used to make scanning impossible. The 32-bit encrypted portion provides for more than 4
billion code combinations.
A complete scan would take 17 years! If the 34-bit fixed portion is taken into account, the
time required for a complete scan jumps to 5,600 billion years! The system may never
respond twice to the same code over the lifetime of the transmitter receiver pair.
Every time a remote control button is pushed, the system will transmit a different code.
These codes appear random to an outsider there is no apparent relationship between
any code and the previous or next code. Operation is totally transparent the user may
not even become aware that synchronization has been lost and restored. These obvious
security benefits are attainable at a cost comparable to existing fixed code systems. The
revolutionary nature of the KEELOQ algorithm, full custom IC implementation, and
reduced external component requirements help to make this level of cost effectiveness
possible.
