Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the MCT series different from standard remotes?
The MCT series utilises Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology, a sophisticated method typically reserved for military and medical equipment. This allows the transmitter to jump between different frequencies within the 915MHz band, providing immunity against interference or intentional jamming from other electronic devices.
What models are available in the MCT series?
The series offers a wide range of channel options to suit various industrial needs:
- Small Case: 1, 2, and 4-button models (MCT91501, MCT91502, MCT91504).
- Large Case: 8, 12, and 16-button models (MCT91508, MCT91512, MCT91516).
Does the MCT series require an external antenna?
No. The MCT series is designed with an internal antenna integrated directly into the handheld unit. This streamlined design makes the remote more portable and reduces the risk of mechanical damage or breakage that can occur with external protruding antennas.
How does the Multicode digital coding system work?
The MCT in the name stands for Multicode Technology, which offers dual coding options:
- 12-way DIP Switch: For simple “match-the-code” programming with a receiver.
- Encrypted Coding: An encrypted code generated from over 16 million combinations for high-security applications.
Can I use multiple MCT transmitters in the same area?
Yes, with the use of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, multiple transmitters can operate simultaneously in the same vicinity without interfering with or jamming each other’s signals.
What is the typical operating range of these transmitters?
Due to the efficient internal antenna design, the MCT series offers a reliable operating range of up to 400 metres (line of sight). This makes it suitable for most large-scale industrial and commercial environments.
Is it possible to press more than one button at a time?
Yes. The MCT series supports simultaneous channel transmission. This means if you press multiple buttons at once, the transmitter will send signals for all corresponding channels, switching multiple outputs simultaneously.
Are these remotes durable enough for worksites?
Yes, these transmitters are engineered for harsh industrial and commercial environments. Each remote comes with a protective silicon cover and features built-in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection to withstand the rigors of warehouses, construction sites, and factories.
Which receivers are compatible with the MCT series?
The MCT series is designed specifically for the 915MHz band and is compatible with all Elsema MCR915 series receivers, including those with relay outputs or open collector outputs.
Can I customize the labels on the transmitter?
Yes. Elsema offers customized labels for the MCT series. For orders meeting the minimum quantity (typically 100 pieces), you can have your company logo and specific button text (e.g., Up, Down, Start, Stop) printed directly on the remote’s membrane.
