Overview:
The RF12V1PR-LS is an RF receiver operating at a fixed frequency of 340 MHz. The receiver operates from 12-Volts DC and
provides a polarity reversing output. The polarity reversing output incorporates current sensing that will monitor the output current
and turn off the output when the operating current exceeds the current setting of the switch. Limit switch inputs are included that will
interrupt the output when the limit switch is contacted. The receiver includes two inputs that are used with a manual switch to
control the polarity reversing output. The receiver also has a 12-Volt light output.
The transmitter has 3-switches, two for the control of the polarity reversing output and one to activate the light output. The receiver
can be configured to operate the output in momentary or latching mode. Up to thirty, three-button transmitters (model KF340-3) can
be used to activate the receiver's output. 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 includes inputs for manual control of the polarity reversing output. The inputs are labeled “UP Manual” and “Down
Manual”.
The receiver electronics are encapsulated in a 5” x 5” x 1” mounting tray. The operating range is at least 100 feet.
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 35 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 GND terminals.
Output Connection: The output of the receiver is connected to the terminals labeled “To Motor”.

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 30 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 once 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 UP button on the transmitter twice and verify that
the red program LED extinguishes and illuminates several times (blinks rapidly).
5. To add additional remote controls repeat previous steps while the control is still in program mode. Pressing the
program button after the unit has exited program mode will erase the memory. All transmitter need to be programed at
the same time while the receiver is in program mode. The red LED on the receiver will extinguish and illuminate for each
transmitter that is programmed. NOTE: Momentary or Latching operation is determined by the last transmitter that is
programmed to the receiver.
6. The receiver will exit program 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.

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.
NOTE: ONCE THE LONG RANGE MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE SYSTEM THEY CANNOT
BE REVERSED.
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.

Wiring and Features
Limit Switch Inputs: The receiver has provisions for two normally closed limit switches (not included with the remote control
system). The provision on the receiver terminal block are labeled LIMIT UP and LIMIT DOWN. The receiver must see a +12V
signal on these lines to operate with the remote control or the manual switch in the UP or DOWN direction.
You will need to connect +12VDC to the common terminal on your limit switches and connect the normally closed terminal on
your limit switches to the terminal block positions labeled LIMIT UP and LIMIT DOWN. Wiring your limit switches this way will
provide a continuous +12VDC signal to the receiver when the switch is not activated.
When a limit switch is activated the +12VDC connection to the receiver is opened. If the receiver does not see a +12VDC signal
on the LIMIT UP or LIMIT DOWN terminal the MOTOR OUTPUT will not function when the UP or DOWN operation is activated
on the remote control or the manual switch.
NOTE: IF LIMIT SWITCHES ARE NOT USED FOR ONE OR BOTH DIRECTIONS, YOU MUST SUPPLY A CONSTANT
+12VDC SIGNAL TO THE “LIMIT UP” OR “LIMIT DOWN” POSITION ON THE TERMINAL BLOCK FOR THE MOTOR
OUTPUT TO FUNCTION.
Manual Switch Inputs: The receiver includes inputs for a manual switch to control the polarity reversing output. The manual
control inputs to the receiver are labeled “Down Manual” and “UP Manual”. The manual switch inputs are Normally-Open (NO),
and +12 Volts DC is applied to each input to activate the output. A single-pole, double-throw 3-Position momentary-ON, OFF,
momentary-ON switch should be used to control the manual switch inputs. Note: The manual switch inputs when activated will
take priority over the RF transmitter.
Output Current Sensing: The current sensing circuit will monitor the output current and turn off the output and reset the output
for 5-seconds when the output current exceeds the current trip setting of the switch. The output current sensing is adjustable
from 5-Amperes to 35-Amperes. There is a 0.5-second delay in the current sensing to allow for motor inrush.

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. Check your limit switches
· The system is designed to work with 2 normally closed limit switches. If the control does not see a signal from a
limit switch it will not operate. Check the switches and the wires for loose connections or damage.

6. 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.
