MCR91516R & MCR91516SS
Sixteen Channel Multicode Series Receiver. MCR91516R
The MCR91516R features 16 relay outputs, while the MCR91616SS offers 16 open collector outputs. Each version is tailored to meet specific requirements, providing versatile solutions for a broad range of applications. The MCR91516R and MCR91616SS are advanced 16 channel receivers available in multiple versions to suit various industrial and commercial needs.
Both the MCR91516R and MCR91616SS utilize cutting edge Multicode Technology (MCT), which provides dual digital coding options. The receiver supports encrypted coding for high security environments or a 12-way dipswitch for standard applications. This dual coding capability ensures flexibility and adaptability, making these receivers suitable for both general and high security uses.
The sophisticated integration of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology with MCT enhances the performance of these receivers. FHSS, a technology frequently employed in high end military and medical equipment, delivers superior resistance to interference and eavesdropping. This advanced technology ensures reliable communication and robust performance.
Both receivers are designed to be user friendly and efficient, combining the latest technology with ease of use. They are ideal choices for applications where reliability, security and advanced features are essential.

Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main function of the MCR91516R?
The MCR91516R is a 16-channel receiver designed for complex industrial and home automation. It is ideal for scenarios requiring a large number of independent controls, such as large-scale lighting systems, multi-stage industrial machinery, or integrated security systems.
How does the 915MHz Frequency Hopping technology work?
The 915MHz Frequency Hopping technology allows the receiver to constantly hop between different frequencies within the 915MHz to 928MHz range. This prevents the signal from being blocked by other wireless devices or deliberate jamming, ensuring a robust and reliable connection in noisy RF environments.
What is the maximum load each relay can handle?
Each of the 16 channels is equipped with a change-over relay output. These relays are rated to switch up to 8 Amps at 240VAC, providing enough capacity to handle most domestic and many industrial electrical loads directly.
Can I customize how each relay behaves?
Yes, the receiver features a 4-way DIP switch that allows you to select from different operational modes. These modes include:
- Momentary: Relay stays active only while the button is pressed.
- Latching: Relay toggles on/off with each press.
- Mixed Modes: Specifically configured combinations where some channels are momentary and others are latching.
How do I program a transmitter to this receiver?
The MCR91516R supports two coding methods:
- 12-way DIP Switch: Simply match the switch positions on the transmitter and the receiver for easy setup.
- Encrypted Coding: For high-security needs, you can use the Program button to wirelessly pair a transmitter with one of over 16 million random codes.
What power source is required for operation?
The MCR91516R is designed for flexibility, accepting a wide input range of 12 to 24 Volts AC or DC. This allows it to be powered by standard plug-pack transformers, industrial power supplies, or 12V/24V vehicle batteries.
How many transmitters can I pair with a single receiver?
The MCR91516R has an unlimited storage capacity for transmitters. This makes it an ideal solution for large-scale sites where many different users or handheld remotes need to trigger the same receiver.
What is the typical operating range for the MCR91516R?
With a standard antenna and a clear line of sight, the MCR91516R typically reaches a range of up to 400 metres. For installations inside metal enclosures or areas with many obstructions, using an external antenna like the ANT915S is recommended to maintain performance.
Can multiple receivers be used in the same location?
Yes, with the Frequency Hopping technology, multiple receivers can operate in the same area simultaneously without interfering with each other. This is particularly useful for large industrial sites with multiple automated zones.
Is there an outdoor-ready version of the MCR91516R?
The standard MCR91516R is supplied as an open-circuit board intended for mounting inside an existing control panel. However, the MCR91516RE version is available, which comes pre-fitted in a rugged, weatherproof IP66-rated enclosure for outdoor installations.
