The RF12V-2-ASL is an RF receiver operating at a fixed frequency of 340 MHz. The receiver operates from 12VDC and
provides two 12-volt outputs that can be configured for momentary or latching operation. The receiver provides four, ¼-
inch quick connect terminals for connecting input power and relay outputs. Up to 12, two button keyfob transmitters
(model KF340-2) can be used to activate the receiver's relay. Each transmitter has a unique address that is transmitted
when a button is pressed. A "program" button is provided on the receiver to program the transmitter(s) address into the
receiver's memory. An LED on the receiver indicates the receiver's programming status and illuminates when either relay
is energized. The receiver is encased in a small, waterproof enclosure. The operating range is at least 100 feet.
Additionally, there are three lead wires that can be connected to an external switch which allows the receiver to be
operated without using the remote transmitter. The black switch lead wire is common.
Maximum Ratings: Power for the receiver can be in the range of 10 to 15VDC. The receiver is reverse polarity protected.
The relay contacts are rated at 30 Amps @ 13.8VDC.
Power Consumption: 10mA when the relays are de-energized, 45mA when the relay is energized.
Input Power Connection: 12Vdc power connects to the -12V and +12V terminals.
Output Connection: The output of the receiver is connected to the “1”, and “2“terminals.
Momentary or Latching Output: The transmitter and receiver can be configured for momentary or latching operation.
For momentary operation, the output of the receiver will be active for as long as the transmitter switch is depressed, and
will turn off when the switch is released. In the latching configuration, the receiver output will turn on as soon as the
transmitter switch is depressed and released. To turn off the latching output, the transmitter switch must be depressed and
released again.

Programming Instructions
Each transmitter has its own unique internal address along with the data as to which button is pressed and transmitted.
The receiver needs to be programmed to respond only to the specific transmitter it is intended to operate with. The
following steps configure the receiver to operate with a particular transmitter. Up to 12 transmitters can be programmed
to one receiver. Please read the entire programming procedure before starting. When the receiver enters program
mode, all previous transmitter addresses that were programmed will be erased from the receiver's memory.
1. Locate the pushbutton labeled "PROGRAM" on the receiver. Press and hold this button until the red LED next to the
program button illuminates (approximately 3 seconds). The receiver is now in the transmitter program mode. Release
the button. At this point all previously programmed transmitter addresses are erased from the receiver's memory.
2. To configure the receiver for a latching output, go to Step 4.
3. To configure the receiver for momentary output, press and release the UP button on the transmitter and verify that the
red program LED
extinguishes and then illuminates (blinks once). Proceed to Step 5.
4. To configure the receiver for latching output, press and release the DOWN button on the transmitter and verify that
the red program LED extinguishes and illuminates (blinks once).
5. Repeat previous step for additional transmitters that will operate with this particular receiver. The red LED on the
receiver will extinguish and illuminate (blink) once for the first transmitter being programmed, twice for the second, three
times for the third, etc. The receiver will not respond to transmitters that have already been programmed. The first
transmitter that is programmed determines the receiver’s relay operating mode.
6. The receiver will return to normal mode if no transmitter buttons are pressed for 5-seconds. The red LED on the
receiver will blink rapidly, then extinguish. The receiver is now in the normal mode of operation. This completes the
programming instructions. The receiver will retain all of its programming even when power is removed.

To Add Long Range Functionality
The remote control system is equipped with an internal antenna. The expected range in normal conditions is
approximately 100 feet. When additional range is needed, or if the control is placed locations adverse to RF signal
reception, a long range antenna can be added to the system. GAMA Electronics long range antenna, part number LRA-
340, replaces the internal antenna on the system. In normal operating conditions expected range is greater than 500 feet.
If the long range option is purchased with the system, this modification will be made prior to shipment.
To add long range functionality:
1. Plug long range antenna (Part number LRA-340) into the long range antenna jack.
2. Clip the Long Range Antenna Bypass Wire (This will deactivate the internal antenna)
NOTE: It is recommended that you cover the exposed wires with RTV silicone sealant.
NOTE: ONCE THE LONG RANGE MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE SYSTEM THEY CANNOT
BE REVERSED.

Troubleshooting
All remote-control systems shipped by GAMA Electronics are 100% functionally tested just prior to shipment.
If your RF remote control system does not work out of the box, stops working or functions intermittently please take the
following steps to resolve common issues. Please note that you must be 2-3 feet away from the receiver when operating
the remote control. Operating within 2-3 feet may result in no operation or intermittent operation.
1. Replace the A23 12V Battery in the transmitter
· The remote control can activate during shipping and drain the battery that is installed in the control. We
send a replacement battery with the system if this occurs.
2. Check the voltage supply at the receiver
· The receiver is designed to function at 10-15VDC. Voltage on the (+) and (-) terminals on the control
should be within this range.
3. Reprogram the remote control
· If the system is non-functional try to reprogram the remote control. The program may not have taken
during the programming process or the program button may have been pressed. If the program button is
pressed the memory of the remote controls programed to the receiver are erased.
4. Listen and look for functionality on the receiver.
· The LED that is used for programming the system will illuminate when the receiver is activated. You will
also hear a “click” when the internal relays engage. If you can see the LED illuminate and you hear the
relay “click” the issue is most likely in the wiring or device being controlled.
5. Add a long-range antenna
· If the receiver is in an area that is averse to the reception of an RF signal, such as near a motor or in a
metal casing, a long-range antenna may solve the issue. Connect the antenna per the instructions on
page 3 and mount the antenna in an exposed area away from any motor.
