Single Button KeyFOB Module
Features:
•Single button transmitter
•Internal loop antenna
•Visual indication of transmit
•User replaceable 12V battery
•ABS plastic enclosure. 60mm x 35mm x 15mm
•High security rolling code using AES encryption
•151MHz/173MHz/433MHz/868MHz/914MHz/918MHz
Technical Specifications:
•Operating current: 0mA @ idle. 9mA transmitting.
•Internal 12V battery.
Output Modes on MTC-2DO:
•Output 1 second momentary
•Output 10 second momentary
•Output state toggle
Digital Outputs on MTC-2DO (Receiver – Relay Outputs)
Both digital output relays provide an isolated
low capacity switch. The relay contacts are not
suitable for switching high currents or mains AC
voltages.
Use an external relay to switch high capacity
loads.
Provided relay contacts are Normally Open
(NO), Normally Closed (NC) and Common
(COM).
Digital Inputs MTC-2DI (Transmitter – Opto Inputs)
Three fully isolated digital inputs providing 5KV isolation are provided. DI1 and DI2 are used for the
digital inputs, while DI3 is provided as a trigger input for specific modes of the opposing output
module. The trigger input is used to initiate a transmission of the state of DI1 and DI2. If DI3 is not
used as a trigger input then DI1 and DI2 can be configured for sending a status transmission on either
rising (closure) or falling edge (opening) or both (rising & falling edge).
Inputs are configured with a debounce time of 200ms. They have a maximum rating of 28VDC
differential between the (+) and (-) inputs.

MTC – Wireless Telemetry Controllers
Pairing Transmitter to Receivers:
All transmitters are factory programmed with a unique 40 bit serial number. This serial number is
encrypted with an AES compliant 128 bit algorithm and transmitted as a unique transmission code
every closure of an input or press of a button. A code is never transmitted more than once and a
receiver will never accept an already sent code thus providing maximum security.
The same transmitter can be paired with any number of receivers.
Creating New Pairings
1. Using a paperclip press the Learn button on the
receiver . The status LED will light.
2. Press the Learn button on the
transmitter once. The status LED on the receiver will turn off.
3. Press the Learn button on the
transmitter again. The status LED on then receiver will flash.
4. Wait for the receiver status LED to stop flashing. The transmitter will now work with the receiver.
Note: Each receiver can learn upto 50 unique transmitters.
Erase Receiver Pairings
1. On the MTC-2DI (
receiver ), press and hold the LEARN button for 10 seconds.
2. The signal LED will turn off after 10 seconds indicating all registered transmitters has been erased.
Note: Individual transmitter pairings cannot be erased.

The KeyFOB transmitter only provides the first three function settings on the MTC-2DO receiver module.
Note: Invalid link options shown above are defaulted to the functionality of no links fitted.
§It’s strongly recommend to bench test a wireless link prior to installation to ensure your
chosen links settings give the desired output results for all combinations of input
states/transitions.
