General Information
The RQT-433-RCVR is a 433.92 MHz keyfob receiver
designed for use with the Ritron RQT Series transmitter.
When installed, the RQT-433-RCVR allows the user to
activate RQT pre-recorded messages by pressing a
small keyfob transmitter. Ritron model keyfobs are pre-
set to activate 1 of 8 RQT messages. Simply record
your desired voice message into the RQT Series
transmitter using the RQT PC Programmer and you are
ready to go.
RQT Radio Operation
For RQT models with an RQT-433-RCVR installed, any
of the 4 RQT inputs can be programmed for “KEYFOB”
operation. This will allow that input to operate on 2 pre-
assigned Ritron keyfobs per the following chart:
Input Models
Input 1 RQT-KEYFOB-1 RQT-KEYFOB-2
Input 2 RQT-KEYFOB-3 RQT-KEYFOB-4
Input 3 RQT-KEYFOB-5 RQT-KEYFOB-6
Input 4 RQT-KEYFOB-7 RQT-KEYFOB-8
Once an RQT input is set for “KEYFOB” operation it will
no longer respond to switch closures or analog signals,
the two Input messages can only be activated by the
specific received keyfob codes assigned to that input.
Refer to the RQT Programming section of this manual
for details of KEYFOB input programming and the
associated programming options available.
Once the radio has been programmed and installed,
Ritron model keyfobs can be used to activate the RQT
transmitter and broadcast a unique, user recorded voice
message associated with the specific keyfob.
EXAMPLE:
RQT Input 1 is set for “KEYFOB” operation with
“Assistance needed in classroom 111” recorded for
RQT-KEYFOB-1 and “Assistance needed in classroom
112” recorded for RQT-KEYFOB-2. Ritron keyfobs
RQT-KEYFOB-1 and RQT-KEYFOB-2 can now
activate these two recorded messages respectively.
Effect on RQT Radio Battery Life
In order for the RQT-433-RCVR receiver to reliably
decode signals from the keyfob transmitters, RQT radio
models with the RQT-433-RCVR keyfob receiver
installed have increased current requirements and do
not operate in the low current “standby” mode.
Therefore, battery life is severely reduced and it is
recommended that the RQT be externally powered.
Where battery life of an RQT radio would normally be
about 1 year, it drops to about 2 weeks with the RQT-
433-RCVR installed.

RQT-KEYFOB Operation
When operating a
keyfob transmitter the
best performance is
achieved with the
keyfob held between
the thumb and
forefinger, with the
top of the keyfob
uncovered and
vertical (as shown)
It is important to
understand that only
one keyfob
transmitter at a time can be activated within a reception
area. While the transmitted signal consists of encoded
digital data, only one carrier of any particular frequency
can occupy airspace without contention at any given
time. If two transmitters are activated in the same area at
the same time, then the signals will interfere with each
other and the decoder will not see a valid transmission,
so it will not take any action.
The effective range of a Ritron keyfob is similar to that of
a garage door opener. Range will be affected by
obstructions, if the keyfob is in your pocket, or how the
keyfob is held.
The location of the RQT transmitter can help extend the
range of the RQT-433-RCVR.
RQT-KEYFOB Battery Replacement
The keyfob
utilizes a
standard
CR2032 lithium
button cell. In
normal use, it
can provide up to
1 year of
operation.
Access for
replacement is
accomplished by
gently prying
apart the two
halves of the
keyfob at the
seam (fingernails
will do for this).
Once the unit is open, remove the battery by sliding it
out from beneath the retainer.
There may be the risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced by the wrong type. Replace it with the same
type of battery while observing the polarity shown in the
adjacent figure.

RQT Radio Programming
Programming an RQT transmitter (equipped with the
RQT-433-RCVR) for keyfob operation requires Ritron
PC Programmer RQT-PCPS or RQT-BASIC-PCPS
revision 1.1.0 or higher. A programmer update to this
revision is available at www.ritron.com.
1. Connect the RQT radio your computer via the USB
port and using the Ritron PC Programmer, read out
the radio programming. If the model indicated is not
on the following list, your radio is not equipped with
the RQT-433-RCVR keyfob receiver and cannot be
programmed for keyfob operation.
Ritron Models with the RQT-433-RCVR installed:
RQT-151-RCVR RQT-151M-RCVR
RQT-152-RCVR RQT-152M-RCVR
RQT-451-RCVR
RQT-452-RCVR
2. Select the input you would like to program for
Keyfob operation. The input you select will depend
on the specific Ritron keyfobs you use. Check to
see which model keyfob you have and program the
input per the following list.
Input Models
Input 1 RQT-KEYFOB-1 RQT-KEYFOB-2
Input 2 RQT-KEYFOB-3 RQT-KEYFOB-4
Input 3 RQT-KEYFOB-5 RQT-KEYFOB-6
Input 4 RQT-KEYFOB-7 RQT-KEYFOB-8
3. From the left column of Input programming screen,
set the Input Type to Keyfob.
4. Press the Record button and record a unique
message for the Ritron keyfob indicated. Repeat the
process if a second keyfob is to be used.
5. Program the various attributes available on the Input
programming screen to customize how the RQT
transmitter will respond to the keyfob.

Programmable RQT Radio Attributes
Latch On - When Latch On is selected, the RQT will
ignore decoded signals from the keyfob until after the
transmission schedule have been completed. If not set,
the RQT will transmit the recorded message every time
is receives the correct code.
EXAMPLE:
RQT-KEYFOB-1 is scheduled for 2 transmissions, 30
seconds between transmissions. When RQT-
KEYFOB-1 has been decoded the recorded message
will be transmitted twice with 30 seconds in between,
and any additional signals from RQT-KEYFOB-1 will
be ignored until 30 seconds after the message is sent
the 2nd time. Signals from other keyfobs will still be
heard, only RQT-KEYFOB-1 will be ignored.
Input Operation - can be set for 1 of 3 different modes:
Normal operation considers the RQT-KEYFOB code as
it is received.
Dwell operation requires the keyfob code to be present
continuously for a specified period of time before
considering.
Holdoff operation requires that the keyfob code is not
present for a specified period of time before it is
considered.
EXAMPLE:
RQT-KEYFOB-2 set for 1 min. holdoff. When the
RQT-KEYFOB-2 code is received the recorded
message will play. Any additional signals from RQT-
KEYFOB-2 will be ignored until after 1 minute has
elapsed.
Number of Message Transmissions - specifies the
number of times a recorded message will be transmitted
after an RQT-KEYFOB code has been received.
Time between Transmissions specifies the length of
time between scheduled transmissions. If it is set to “No
Message”, the recoded message will not play. If it is set
to “On Changes Only”, the recorded message will only
play when the keyfob code is decoded.
Play Message on each Transmission specifies the
number of times the recorded message will be repeated
on each transmission.
EXAMPLE:
RQT-KEYFOB-1 is scheduled for 2 transmissions, 30
seconds between transmissions, 2 messages per
transmission. When RQT-KEYFOB-1 has been
decoded the recorded message will be transmitted
twice, wait 30 seconds, then the message is
transmitted twice again.

Changing the Address
For convenience, the RQT-433-RCVR keyfob receiver and all Ritron
keyfobs come from the factory set to the same address. This establishes
a relationship between a single RQT-433-RCVR receiver and multiple
keyfobs with different codes. For the vast majority of users the address
does not need to be changed. Occasionally the user may want to
change the address to:
• Install two or more RQT-433-RCVR keyfob receivers in the same
location.
• Avoid interference with another transmitter using the same address.
• Create a more secure “non-standard” address.
The RQT-433-RCVR receiver and RQT-KEYFOB transmitters allow the
selection of one of 1,024 unique addresses. To avoid contention with
other units or to create unique relationships, the address can be
changed. This is accomplished by cutting PCB traces with a sharp
object, such as an X-Acto knife.
On the RQT-KEYFOB keyfob the traces are accessed by removing the
rear cover. If the trace is intact, the address line is connected to ground,
otherwise it is floating. The RQT-433-RCVR receiver address must
match exactly in order for the units to communicate.
EXAMPLE:
Both the RQT-KEYFOB and the RQT-433-RCVR can be programmed
with the same unique address by cutting the PCB traces at positions 2
and 4. They now have a unique relationship that allows them to
communicate only with each other.
