The RF12V1C is a RF receiver operating at a fixed frequency of 340 MHz. The receiver operates from 12-volts DC input power and
provides one isolated Form “C” relay contact output (normally open and normally closed contacts with one common). The receiver
operates with Model KF340-2 transmitter. Up to 30 transmitters can be stored in the receiver’s memory, and are programmed into
the receiver’s memory during the programming process. A "program" button is provided on the receiver to program the transmitter(s)
address into the receiver's memory. A LED on the receiver indicates the receiver's programming status and illuminates when the
relay is energized. The receiver is encased in a small, waterproof enclosure. The receiver provides five, 1/4" push-on terminals for
connecting the input power and output relay contacts.
"Latching" vs. "Momentary" Relay Operating Modes: When the receiver is configured for "latching" mode, the relay will toggle
on and off each time a switch is pressed on the transmitter. When the receiver is configured for "momentary" mode the relay will
energize and remain energized for as long as the switch is pressed. Information on how to configure the receivers operating mode
can be found in the “programming instructions”.
Operating Temperature Range: 0°F to 160°F
Maximum Ratings: Power for the receiver can be in the range of 10VDC to 15 VDC. It is recommended that a 12-volt deep cycle
marine battery be used to power the receiver. The receiver is reverse polarity protected. The relay contacts are electrically isolated
from the DC power leads. The relay contacts are rated at 10 Amps @ 30 VDC or 120/240 VAC.
Power Consumption: 10 Milliamperes when the relay is de-energized. 45 Milliamperes when the relay is energized.
Input/output Connections: 12VDC input power connects to the terminals marked "+" and "-" on the top panel of the receiver. For
the relay contact connections, common connects to the terminal marked "COM". The normally open contact connects to the terminal
marked "NO". The normally closed contact connects to the terminal marked "NC".
Dimensions: Receiver dimensions are 1.65"W x 1.46"D x 1.04"H. The receiver weighs 2.35 oz.

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 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. To add additional remote controls to the system after the initial programming, repeat steps 1-4.
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.
NOTE: Multiple transmitters can be programed to the receiver while it is in program mode. Press and release a
button on each transmitter that you want to program while the LED indicator is illumined. The receiver will be
configured for momentary or latching operation based on the last transmitter that is programmed to the
receiver.

1. Press and hold the program switch until the front panel LED illuminates.
2. Release the program switch and immediately press and hold the program switch a second time.
The LED will start blinking and then blink very rapidly. Once the LED begins blinking rapidly,
release the program switch. The receiver memory is now clear.

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 10VDC-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.
