OEM CONFIGURATIONSWith a one-time NRE and minimumorder, Linx can configure thekeypad and label areas to meetyour specific requirements. ContactLinx for details.OEM LONG-RANGE HANDHELD TRANSMITTER DATA GUIDECMD-HHLR-xxxDESCRIPTIONThe Linx HHLR Remote CommandUnit is ideal for general-purposeremote-control and command appli-cations. This unit has been pre-certified for FCC Part-15 compliancewhich reduces costs and time toproduct introduction. Available in 315,418 or 433.92 MHz (418MHzstandard), this compact handheldremote is capable of a 300+ ft.transmission range. The transmitterunit can be configured with 1-8 buttonsand the keypad and labeling can bemodified to meet specific customerrequirements. Selectable addressingprovides security and allows thecreation of up to 1024 distincttransmitter-receiver relationships. Thetransmission can be decoded using amatching Linx function module, KH-Series module, or a Linx LC-Seriesreceiver paired with a decoder IC ormicrocontroller. The unit operates froma single 3-volt lithium cell.■General Remote Control ■Keyless Entry■Garage / Gate Openers■Lighting Control■Call Systems■Home / Industrial Automation■ Wire EliminationAPPLICATIONS INCLUDE:PART # DESCRIPTIONCMD-HHLR-xxx 8-Button Long-Range Transmitterxxx = 315, 418*, 433* = Standard FrequencyORDERING INFORMATION1B23AC54CONTROLLERONONONOFFCONTROLLERPhysical DimensionsRevised 3/20/02
Page 2THEORY OF OPERATIONThe CMD-HHLR-xxx Remote Command Unit combines the popular Linx LC-Series transmitter and an antenna, with a commonly available encoder IC to forma simple yet effective RF remote-control transmitter. When a button is activatedon the remote unit, power is applied to the internal circuitry and the encoder ICis enabled. The encoder then detects the logic states of the DIP-switch addressand button data lines.These states are then formatted into a 3-word transmissioncycle which continues until the button is released. The encoder data is used tomodulate the transmitter which through the antenna conveys the data into freespace. The transmitted signal may be received by any Linx LC- or KH-Seriesreceiver or pre-made function module. Once data is received, a decoder IC orcustom microcontroller is used to check the transmitter's address bits against theaddress settings of the receiving device. If a match is confirmed, the decoder’soutput(s) are set to replicate the transmitter’s button status.SETTING THE TRANSMITTER ADDRESSIn order to allow the formation ofup to 1024 unique Transmitter-Receiver relationships, thetransmitter’s address may beselected using internal DIPswitches as shown.The switchesare accessed by removing theDIP-switch access cover.CONTENTION CONSIDERATIONSIt is important to understand that only one transmitter at a time can be activatedwithin a reception area. While the transmitted signal consists of encoded digitaldata, only one carrier of any frequency can occupy airspace without contentionat any given time.BATTERY REPLACEMENTThe remote unit utilizes a CR-2032 Button Lithium Cell.In normal use it will provide 1-2 years of operation.Access for replacement is accomplished by removing thebattery access cover by pressing down firmly on the labelarea and sliding it off. Once the unit is open, remove thebattery by sliding it from beneath the holder. Replace thecell with the same type while observing the polarityshown.Battery Access+ADDRESSA0 = 1A1 = 2A2 = 3A3 = 4A4 = 5A5 = 6A6 = 7A7 = 8A8 = 9A9 = 10

Nofurther labeling of the unit is needed; however, it is necessary to include thefollowing statement in the end product’s instruction manual or insert card.INSTRUCTION TO THE USERThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits fora Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Theselimits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmfulinterference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed andused in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, there is no guaranteethat interference will not occur in a particular installation. If thisequipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televisionreception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off andon, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one ormore of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that towhich the receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.This equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a ClassB computing device, pursuant to FCC Rules. In order to maintaincompliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used withthis equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshieldedcables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. Theuser is cautioned that changes and modifications made to theequipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user'sauthority to operate this equipment.Place the above statement in the instruction manual or insert card.
