3. Keyfobs
The controller supports the following SATEL 433 MHz keyfobs:
MPT-300 – 5-button keyfob,
T-4 – 4-button keyfob,
T-2 – 2-button keyfob,
T-1 – 1-button keyfob,
P-4 – 4-button keyfob,
P-2 – 2-button keyfob.
The RX-2K controller is delivered with two P-2 keyfobs, and the RX-4K controller – with one
P-4 keyfob.
3.1 Keyfob battery replacement
The battery life depends on how the keyfob is used. The more frequently the buttons are
pressed, the faster the battery drains. When the controller indicates that the battery is running
low (LED; LV output), replace the battery as soon as possible.
There is a danger of battery explosion when using a different battery than
recommended by the manufacturer, or handling the battery improperly.
Be particularly careful during installation and replacement of the battery. The
manufacturer is not liable for the consequences of incorrect installation of the
battery.
The used batteries must not be discarded, but should be disposed of in
accordance with the existing rules for environment protection.
4. Installation
Disconnect power before making any electrical connections.
Changes, modifications or repairs not authorized by the manufacturer shall void your rights
under the warranty.
The controller should be installed indoors, in spaces with normal air humidity. When selecting
the installation place, take into consideration that thick walls, metal partitions, etc. will reduce
the radio signal range. It is recommended that the controller be mounted high above the floor.
This will allow you to get a better range of radio communication and avoid the risk of the
controller being accidentally covered by people moving around the premises. Mounting the
controller near electrical installations is not advisable, as this may cause malfunction of the
device.
Note: When closing the enclosure, make sure that the programming button is not pressed by
the cables.
5. Configuring
You can configure the controller using buttons and pins. Alternatively, you can use
a computer with the DLOAD10 program installed to do this job. The DLOAD10 program can
be downloaded from the www.satel.eu site.

5.1 Preparation for configuring using the DLOAD10 program
Connecting the computer to the controller
To make the connection, use the USB-RS converter offered by SATEL. The controller has no
RS port connector, therefore you must use the PIN3/RX adapter, which is delivered with the
converter. Screw the adapter wires to the controller terminals in accordance with Table 1 and
Fig. 2.
Wire color Function Terminal
green Rx signal AL
white Tx signal LV
black common ground COM

5.2 Enrolling a keyfob
Enrolling a keyfob by using a button
You can use any button to enroll a keyfob, but only using the PRG1 button allows the keyfob
user to control all channels (relay outputs). If another button is used, the keyfob will only be
able to control some channels. For example, if you use the PRG2 button, it will only control
the channels 2-4 [RX-4K] / channel 2 [RX-2K].
Table 2 shows the channels (relay outputs) that can be controlled by using each keyfob
buttons, depending on which controller button was used to enroll the keyfob. The button
numbers refer to the keyfobs P-2, P-4, T-1, T-2 and T-4, whereas the symbols – to the
MPT-300 keyfob.
