PCK43304W
433MHz PentaCODE® Transmitter with External Inputs
The PCK43304W is a 4 channel PentaCODE® transmitter with external inputs. It is designed to accept inputs from external (Normally Open) switches or buttons, enabling the user to initiate the transmitter’s signal manually. It’s commonly used in applications where direct physical control over the transmission is desired, such as in wireless ON/OFF with a switch, gate openers or PLC control in industrial automation. The external button acts as a trigger, activating the transmitter to send a signal to a receiver or control system when pressed.
Easy to install this hard wired transmitter boosts efficiency and flexibility, ensuring seamless operation. Ideal for site where is it difficult to run cables, this transmitter with external inputs is the perfect solution. Explore now for innovative control options!
The PentaCODE® dual coding system gives the installer the option to use the classic 12-way dip switch coding or one of over 17 billion encrypted codes.
The PCK43304W transmitter is compatible with all PCR series receivers, ensuring broad application potential.

Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the PCK43304W?
The PCK43304W is a 4-channel transmitter designed to convert hardwired signals into wireless radio signals. By connecting external “Normally Open” switches, buttons, or PLC outputs to its inputs, you can trigger a wireless transmission to an Elsema PCR series receiver.
What type of external inputs does this transmitter accept?
The unit accepts any Voltage-Free, Normally Open (N/O) contact. This includes standard push buttons, toggle switches, limit switches, relay contacts, or dry-contact outputs from a PLC or alarm panel.
How is the PCK43304W powered?
The PCK43304W is designed for fixed installation and requires a power supply of 12 Volts AC or DC. With a very low standby current of 6uA and 27mA when transmitting the PCK43304W is suitable for battery operations.
What is the benefit of the PentaCODE dual-coding system?
It offers two security options in one device:
- 12-way DIP Switch: For easy setup by matching switches with the receiver.
- Encrypted Code: For high-security applications, providing over 17 billion unique combinations to prevent unauthorized code copying.
What is the maximum transmission range?
The PCK43304W can achieve an operating distance of up to 500 metres when used with a clear line of sight. Range can be further optimized by using an appropriate 433MHz antenna connected to the transmitter and receiver.
Can I trigger multiple channels simultaneously?
Yes. The PCK43304W supports simultaneous transmission, meaning it can send signals for multiple channels at the same time if more than one input is activated at once.
Which receivers are compatible with this PCK43304W?
The PCK43304W is fully compatible with the entire Elsema PCR433 series of receivers. This includes 1, 2, 4, and 8-channel receivers with various power supply options (12-24V AC/DC or 240V AC).
In what scenarios is the PCK43304W most useful?
The PCK43304W is the perfect solution for sites where it is difficult or expensive to run physical cables. Common applications include wireless ON/OFF switching, remote gate triggering from a long-distance, alarm panels and industrial automation.
Is the PCK43304W suitable for Continuous or Momentary triggering?
The PCK43304W is highly flexible. If the external input is a momentary push-button, it sends a brief signal. If the input is held closed by toggle switch or a PLC relay, the transmitter will continue to transmit in short bursts in off delay mode, which is useful for applications requiring to keep a receiver relay active. This ensures other systems are not jammed and can continue to operate in the same area.
Does the PCK43304W use Frequency Hopping technology?
Yes, the PCK43304W utilizes Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology. This ensures that the signal is highly resistant to interference and jamming, as it automatically hops across different frequencies within the 433MHz band.
