REMOTE CONTROL SET
RE-4K
re4k_e 07/06
The RE-4K four-channel remote control set enables electrical equipment to be remotely
controlled by means of radio transmitters (remote keys). The remote control set can work
with up to 340 remote keys. The RE-4K only supports SATEL-manufactured remote
keys.
Interaction of the RE-4K with security systems is facilitated by inputs which provide
information on the system status. They make it possible to easily organize signaling of
arming / disarming, as well as of alarm clearance.
The design is based on the components of Microchip Technology Inc. which use the
KEELOQ® code-hopping technology for transmission between the transmitter and the
receiver. It ensures both security of use and resistance to spurious control signals coming
from other devices.

Description of terminals:
AR – information signal input - security system status (armed / disarmed);
AL – information signal input - alarm;
LV – signal output - low battery in remote key (OC); the output activates when the
receiver detects low voltage in the remote key battery and remains active until
a remote key with good battery is used (it can be used e.g. to report a trouble in the
security system);
SS – siren control output (OC);
+12V – supply voltage input (direct voltage from 9V to 16V);
COM – common (ground);
Cn – common terminal of relay;
NCn – normally closed terminal of relay; n – relay (channel) number
NOn – normally open terminal of relay;
TMP – tamper contact terminals.
The two-color LED indicates the module operating status and facilitates programming of the
receiver parameters:
•green light – normal operating mode;
•red light – receiving signal from remote key in normal operating mode;
•green blinking light – waiting for the first press of the remote key button when entering new
remote key into the receiver memory;
•red blinking light
−waiting for the second press of the remote key button (when entering new remote key
into the receiver memory);
−the remote key battery is exhausted (after pressing the remote key button normal
operating mode);
−clearance of the receiver memory;
•alternately blinking red and green light – programming the monostable relay ON time;
•blinking by the sequence: red color, green color, extinction – started mode of programming
from the computer.
The programming buttons PRG1 to PRG4 allow:
•entering remote keys into the receiver memory;
•programming the monostable relay changeover time for the given channel.
Additionally, the PRG1 button makes it possible to clear the receiver memory.
2. Installation
The receiver electronics board includes components sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
These electrostatic discharges should be removed prior to installation. Also, touching the
receiver board components should be avoided in the process of installation.
The RE-4K is mounted in a plastic housing. When closing the housing, be particularly careful
so that the programming button is not pressed in by the cables.
It is recommended that the manufacturer specified batteries be used in the remote keys. The
battery status must be periodically checked (e.g. by noting how the LED on the receiver
board lights when the remote key button is being pressed) and, if necessary, the used
batteries must be replaced by new ones.

Notes:
•Do not discard the used batteries. They should be disposed of as required by the existing
regulations (European Union Directives 91/157/EEC and 93/86/EEC).
•Making any construction changes or unauthorized repairs is prohibited. This applies, in
particular, to modification of assemblies and components.
3. Programming
The RE-4K can be programmed by means of programming buttons or a computer with
DLOAD10 program installed. The DLOAD10 program is available on web-site www.satel.pl.
The program offers more advanced operation of the RE-4K. It allows edition of the list of
remote keys by their unique serial numbers, deletion of individual remote keys already
entered in the system, and assignment of user names to remote keys.
3.1 Starting communication with DLOAD10 program

In order to start the RE-4K communication with the DLOAD10 program, you should:
1. Connect the receiver to the computer by means of the RS-CA5/6/R-2/4K cable (for
connection details please see the instructions attached to the RS-CA5/6/R-2/4K cable).
2. Start the DLOAD10 program in the computer (the program access is protected by
password, which is 1234 by default and can be changed to any sequence of 16
characters - digits from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F can be entered.).
3. Enter the "Communication" menu, select the "Configuration" item, and indicate the
computer port, the receiver is connected to.

4. Start the computer programming mode in the receiver, following the procedure below:
−press and hold down the PRG4 programming button until the LED changes for a while
the color of its light to red;
−release the PRG4 button momentarily, then press it again and hold down until the LED
starts blinking according to the sequence: red color, green color, extinction.
Note: If communication with the DLOAD10 program fails to be established within one minute,
the receiver will return to its normal operating mode.
5. In the DLOAD10 program, select "New device" in the "File" menu, and then the "RX-
2K/RX-4K/RE-4K". The remote control sets management window opens. Click on the
"Read transmitters" button to open the list of remote keys already entered into the
receiver.
3.2 Adding remote keys
The receiver offers extended features for remote keys configuration. It makes it possible to
control either all channels, or selected ones only.
3.2.1 Adding remote keys by means of programming buttons
The number of channels the remote key will be able to operate depends on the number of
button used for entering the remote key into the receiver memory. For example, if the T-4
remote key is entered with the use of the PRG2 button, the remote key will be able to operate
the channels 2, 3and 4. The channel 1 will be unavailable to it. The active buttons of the
remote key will be 1, 2 and 3, while the button 4 will be inactive. Shown in the table below are
channels available in the remote key, depending on which programming button was used to
enter the remote key.

4. Select, how many channels is the remote keys to operate (compare Table 1).
5. If required, enter the remote key name.
6. Press the "Next" button to add another remote key, or the "End" button to close the
window. The new remote keys will now be included in the list of operated remote keys with
the annotation: "New, to write".
7. Press the "Write transmitters" to save the entered changes. If the changes are not saved,
the receiver will not be able to handle the new remote keys.
Changing the number of channels used by the remote key as well as editing its name can be
done at any moment by means of DLOAD10 program.
3.3 Removing remote keys
Individual deletion of remote key is only possible by using the DLOAD10 program. The
programming buttons make it only possible to erase full content of the receiver memory, i.e.
also the remote key entered into it.
3.3.1 Clearance of receiver memory
In order to clear the receiver memory, you should:
1. Press and hold down the PRG1 programming button until the LED changes for a while the
color of its light to red (which will occur after approx. 3 seconds).
2. Release the PRG1 button momentarily, then press it again and hold down until the LED
starts blinking red (which will occur after approx. 3 seconds), signaling thereby that the
receiver memory is being erased.
When the LED starts lighting steadily green again, the receiver is ready for programming new
remote keys.
3.3.2 Removing remote keys by means of DLOAD10 program
To remove the remote key from the receiver memory you should:
1. Click on the remote key to be removed on the list of remove keys.
2. Press the "Delete transmitter" button and confirm selection in the pop-up window.
3. Press the "Write transmitters" button to save the entered changes. If the changes are not
saved, the receiver will continue handling the remote key that were to be removed.
3.4 Programming relay operating mode
The relay can work in one of the three modes, depending on how the jumpers are set on
pins.

SATEL RE-4K6
Fig. 4. Example of setting the operating mode on pins - channel 1.
Bistable mode (see Fig. 4) – each press of remote key button changes the relay status to
the opposite one.
Monostable mode (see Fig. 4) – relay activated for a preset time.
Pulse mode (see Fig. 4) – relay activated for the time when remote key button is pressed.
3.4.1 Programming monostable mode on-time
By default, the monostable mode on-time is preprogrammed at 5 seconds. It can be changed
by the user and set within the range of 1 to about 250 seconds.
In order to enter the new monostable on-time for the selected channel (relay) by means of
the programming buttons you should:
1. Press the selected channel programming button twice – the LED will go out.
2. Press one of the active remote key buttons (see ADDING REMOTE KEYS) - the LED will start
blinking green and red.
3. Having measured off the required time, press the remote key button again – the LED light
will turn into steady green.
You can change the monostable mode on-time in the DLOAD10 program by entering from the
keypad a new value for the selected channel. To save the entered changes in the receiver
memory, press the "Save times" button.
4. Interaction with the security system
Using the remote key button you can arm / disarm the security system or trigger / clear an
alarm. To be able to do so, connect the terminals of relays selected for control to the suitably
preprogrammed control panel zones.
The SS receiver output can signal arming / disarming / disarming and alarm clearing by
means of the remote key. In order to ensure such signaling, it is necessary to connect
suitably preprogrammed control panel outputs to the AR, AL inputs (the armed mode
information output to the AR input, and the output signaling alarm to be canceled - to the AL
input). The AR and AL inputs are monitored for 4 seconds since the remote key was used. If
there is a change in the status of the monitored inputs during that time, the SS output will
trigger suitable signaling. The signaling is effected by shorting the SS output to ground for the
pulse duration (0.16 second). The event can be identified by the number of pulses:
•1 pulse – arming;
•2 pulses – disarming;
•4 pulses – disarming plus alarm clearing.
The SS output can be used e.g. to control a siren. Permissible current-carrying capacity of
the SS output is 500mA.

RE-4K SATEL 7
Fig. 3. Example of remote control of the CA-6 control panel.
In the presented example, the channel 1 (relay 1) controls the control panel armed mode,
while the channel 4 (relay 4) triggers the silent PANIC alarm. These relays operate in the
pulse mode (jumpers suitably set on the MODE1, MODE4 pins) and feed the common
ground (0V) to the CTL, Z1 zones of the control panel. The remote key must be entered into
the receiver memory by means of the PRG1 button. In order to arm / disarm the system,
press and hold down the button No. 1 on the remote key. To trigger the panic alarm, press
the button No. 4. In order to avoid the risk of accidental alarm triggering, set a suitable
sensitivity of the Z1 zone in the control panel (e.g. 3 seconds).
The SS output controls the relay, which supplies +12V voltage to the +SA siren input and,
consequently, generates a sound signal. At the moment of changeover, the OUT1 control
panel output remains connected via the 2.2kΩresistor to the common ground in the siren,
thus ensuring presence of the load on the OUT1 output, as well as cabling control when
armed/disarmed states are being signaled. The resistor should be installed inside the siren
housing.
The figure shows also a simple solution to low-battery indication in the remote key (the LED
is connected to the LV input).
The CA-6 control panel makes it possible to program the following parameters:
OUT1 - alarm on for preset time (+12V during the output on-time);
OUT2 - alarm on until canceled (+12V during the output on-time);
OUT3 - power supply output (+12V);
