DESCRIPTION
The RF Solutions KEELOQ range of miniature pocket Keyfob encoders are available as Radio of Infra Red
transmitters.
When paired with one of the KEELOQ Rx decoder boards, a complete remote control system may be
achieved, with comprehensive interfacing capabilities. This may also be high security “code hopping”
The keyfobs are housed in a tough ABS enclosure and supplied with Battery ready to operate.
An membrane overlay sticker is used to indicate the switch positions which may be customised to
incorporate a specific logo or mark.

Operation
The Tx encoder transmits the KEELOQ code for as long as any push-button switch is depressed.
Operation of the Tx encoder buttons will cause either a momentary or a latching action at the Rx decoder,
depending on the configuration of the Rx decoder.
Battery Supply
The keyfob is supplied with a standard cigarette lighter 12V battery type GP23A or equivalent.
Low Battery
When the unit measures a low battery voltage level, the data transmitted includes a ‘Low battery’ status
flag to the receiver decoder.
Auto Shutoff Feature
After 26seconds of continuous transmission the Keyfobs are programmed shut down. This is to prevent the
battery being drained through accidental operation (i.e. if it is in the users pocket!).

Further Information: Developing a Keeloq Based Decoder System
The RFEVAL2 is a Evaluation Kit consisting of a several transmitter encoders and receiver decoder
board. This kit provides a hardware development platform capable of accepting a variety of radio
modules and antennae to enable the engineer to develop a Remote Telemetry application.
The kit provides a hardware development platform for:
• Embedding Telemetry
• Producing a Decoder with RS232 Output
• Range Testing
• Target Environment Testing
• Antenna Evaluation
This enables the engineer to select the optimum radio modules, antenna type and get a radio
application working with the minimum time. Please see Datasheet DS123 Full schematics and
parts list supplied.
