Remote Control Transmitters & Receivers for Everyday Applications
Industrial environments demand rugged, highly dependable wireless solutions to streamline operations and maximize safety. Elsema’s advanced range of remote control transmitters and receivers is engineered specifically for heavy-duty industrial applications, including the automation of trucks, machinery, and specialized factory equipment. Whether you need to operate a concrete pump, control a crane, or trigger hydraulic functions on a service vehicle, our robust remote control systems provide a secure, long-range link that replaces restrictive physical cables. To accommodate diverse industrial setups, Elsema offers versatile automatic switching equipment and hardwired transmitters that connect directly to mechanical switches, such as float switches, limit switches or pressure sensors, allowing machines to communicate and automate functions autonomously over vast distances. This technology is increasingly utilized for solar inverter switching, allowing operators to safely manage and isolate high-voltage solar arrays and green energy feeds from a distance.
Beyond heavy machinery, this adaptable technology scales seamlessly to facility management, everyday commercial access, and high-use gate automation. Finding the right remote control solution shouldn’t be a compromise, which is why our product lineup includes everything from compact keyfob and keyring remote options for mobile staff to ultra-durable, waterproof remote controls designed to withstand harsh outdoor elements, dust and rain. Available in configurations scaling from simple 1 and 2-channel units up to sophisticated 16-channel systems, Elsema’s hardware provides the industrial-grade, interference-free reliability required to keep your equipment running safely and efficiently

Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What industrial machinery functions can be automated using Elsema wireless systems?
Elsema industrial remote controls are widely used to safely automate complex electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic functions from a distance. Common applications include operating concrete pump trucks, controlling cranes and hoists, triggering winches and managing utility truck attachments like tilt-trays or water carts.
How do hardwired transmitters and automatic switching equipment work?
Hardwired transmitters allow machines to communicate wirelessly without human intervention. By wiring the transmitter terminal blocks directly to mechanical components such as float switches, limit switches or pressure sensors the transmitter automatically sends an “On/Off” RF signal to a remote receiver whenever that switch is triggered.
Are Elsema waterproof remote controls available for harsh environments?
Yes. For rugged field service, mining, and outdoor agricultural environments, we offer specialised waterproof remote controls (such as our IP66-rated PentaFOB® options). These heavy-duty remotes feature chemical-resistant casings, anti-slip properties and raised tactile buttons that can easily be operated while wearing safety gloves.
What is the difference between an industrial handheld remote and a compact keyfob?
Handheld industrial remotes (such as our PentaFOB® Handheld, Multicode or Gigalink® series) feature extended range up to 400 meters, heavy-duty impact protection and larger batteries for constant commercial use. A keyfob or keyring remote (like the PentaFOB® and PentaCODE® series, typically 1 to 5 buttons) offers up to 100-200 meters of range and is designed as a sleek, pocket-sized solution for personnel access, light commercial use, and vehicle gate automation.
What is the maximum operating range of an Elsema long-range transmitter?
Range varies significantly by series. While standard keyring remote units achieve up to 200 meters and handhelds manage up to 400 meters, our specialised fixed industrial transmitters (such as the 151MHz FMT series) can achieve line-of-sight ranges of up to 5,000 meters (5 kilometers). This makes them ideal for massive industrial sites or agricultural irrigation networks.
How do Elsema remotes prevent signal jamming and interference on busy job sites?
Elsema’s premium transmitters utilise advanced Fast Frequency Hopping Technology. For instance, the MultiCODE, PentaFOB® and PentaCODE® series simultaneously broadcast encrypted signals across multiple frequencies. This advanced design ensures your signal cuts through RF noise or nearby heavy machinery without interference.
Can I program one single remote to control multiple different machines?
Yes. Elsema multi-channel transmitters (ranging from 1 to 16 channels) allows you to assign independent buttons to separate receivers. For example, on a 4-button keyring remote, Button 1 could control an automated property gate, Button 2 could operate a truck winch, and Button 3 could activate a warehouse roller door.
Can Elsema wireless receivers be integrated directly into gate automation systems?
Yes, seamless integration is a core feature of Elsema’s design philosophy. Our standalone receivers feature voltage-free relay outputs, making them universally compatible with almost all commercial and residential gate automation motors, roller & garage doors, boom gates, barrier arms and control cards on the market.
How simple is the installation and pairing process for new transmitters?
Elsema’s systems are built with installers in mind. Depending on the series, coding is managed either via easy 12-way dipswitches or through our secure digital, encrypted coding process for fast, hassle-free installation.
What power supply options are available for Elsema industrial receivers?
To ensure seamless integration into any factory, truck or remote site, our receivers are available in multiple power configurations. We offer low-voltage models running on 11-28V AC/DC (perfect for 12V or 24V vehicle electrical systems and solar setups) as well as standard 110-240V AC mains-powered variants.
