Compact receiver module to open pedestrian or main doors equipped with solenoid/electric locks using most radio remotes transmitting between 220 MHz and 868 MHz (OOK/FSK, fixed and rolling codes).
Key capabilities
Operates without external power or battery by using the small current from the existing pushbutton circuit inside the door control box.
User-selectable receiving frequency (multiple frequencies supported; some restricted in certain regions).
Supports OOK (AM) and FSK (FM) modulations (FM deviations 12.5 or 25 kHz).
Twin-frequency operation: can receive on one or two frequencies/modulations simultaneously.
Can learn up to 60 remote controls (fixed and rolling codes), managing different remote types concurrently.
Configurable output pulses: 1–4 pulses and pulse durations of 100, 200, 400 or 600 ms.
How it works
When a learned remote transmits a known code, UniLock internally connects the two supply wires in parallel (simulating a pushbutton) so the electric lock receives current and the door opens.
One wire is the antenna (must remain unconnected); the other two wires (Supply) connect in parallel to the existing pushbutton.
Advantages
Fits inside the wall box of the existing pushbutton; installation requires only connecting the two supply wires in parallel to the pushbutton.
No external power required for standard electric-lock integrations.
Wide compatibility with many remote brands and code types due to selectable frequency, modulation and advanced decoding.
Adjustable receiver sensitivity (attenuation) to limit unwanted distant activations.
Supports learning of master remotes that can remotely enable learning for additional devices (master remotes do not trigger the door output).
Application examples
Open a garage or gate using a button on an existing remote control.
Integrate a separate receiver with UniLock when a gate uses a different frequency or coding.
Install UniLock at a pedestrian door pushbutton to enable remote opening.
Install UniLock in the wall box of an entrance main door pushbutton.
Installing instructions (summary)
Check voltage on the existing switch: 9–24 Vdc or 9–18 Vac.
Measure current through the existing switch: 0.8–3.2 A.
Connect the two wires marked Supply in parallel to the existing switch (third wire = antenna, leave unconnected).
Use the Prog button sequences to select frequency, modulation, number of pulses and pulse duration.
Learning remote controls (summary)
Press Prog twice to enter learning mode; within 10 s press the remote button to learn. Each learned code reloads the 10 s window.
Master remote learning: press Prog 4 times, then use the master remote to enable a 10 s learning window remotely (master remotes do not activate the output).
Removing remote controls
To remove a single remote press Prog 3 times, then transmit from the remote within 10 s (LED confirms result).
To clear all memory: press Prog 10 times (LED 10 flashes) then press Prog 3 times again.
