Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MCR91501R receiver?
The MCR91501R is a high-performance, single-channel receiver operating on the 915MHz frequency band. It is designed for industrial and commercial applications that require a reliable wireless link to trigger a relay output.
How do I program the MCR91501R to my transmitter?
There are two main ways to program the remote:
- DIP Switch Coding: Match the 12-way DIP switches inside the remote to the 12-way DIP switches on your receiver.
- Encrypted Coding: Set all DIP switches to the OFF position and follow the wireless pairing procedure to generate a unique code from over 16 million combinations.
How does Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) benefit the MCR91501R?
The MCR91501R uses FHSS technology, a sophisticated method often found in military and medical equipment. It constantly switches frequencies to provide superior resistance to signal interference and eavesdropping, ensuring a stable connection even in noisy wireless environments.
What are the electrical ratings for the relay output?
The receiver features a single voltage-free relay output. It has a robust contact rating of 8 Amps at 240VAC, making it capable of switching significant electrical loads directly.
Can the MCR91501R be installed outdoors?
The standard MCR91501R is an open-board or standard-cased unit. However, a weatherproof version is available as the MCR91501RE, which comes enclosed in an IP66-rated case specifically designed for harsh outdoor environments.
What is the power supply requirement for the MCR91501R?
The unit is highly versatile regarding power, operating on a supply voltage of 12 to 24 Volts AC or DC. This allows it to be integrated easily into most existing gate, security, or industrial control systems.
How many remote controls can be used with one receiver?
One of the standout features of the MCR series is its unlimited storage capability. You can program an unlimited number of Multicode series transmitters to a single receiver, making it ideal for large residential complexes or busy commercial sites.
What are the available output modes?
The receiver can be configured for two primary operations:
- Momentary: The relay stays active only while the transmitter button is pressed.
- Latching: The relay toggles its state (ON or OFF) with each press of the transmitter button.
Is the installation process difficult?
No, the MCR91501R is designed for ease of installation. It features pluggable terminal blocks for simple wiring and is compatible with the QM100 quick mount, allowing for effortless mounting to surfaces.
What kind of antenna does the MCR91501R use?
The MCR91501R is supplied with a 915MHz micro antenna which is suitable for short range applications. The MCR91501R is equipped with a high-quality SMA connector which allows for the connection of an external antenna for extended range.
