Description
The hand held GIGALINK™ transmitters are the most advanced Remote Control technology available in the
world today. GIGALINK™ is an invention that has revolutionised the entire Remote Control technology
including Elsema's earlier version of FMT- … and FMR- … series. The GLT2700/1/2/3/4/8 state-of-the-art
invention brings a new dimension in the world of Remote Control technology in domestic, commercial and
industrial applications.
The innovative microcontroller technology replaces the traditional dip switch coding which eliminates any
possible code grabbing. Special features such as over four billion code combinations and the ability to
program any number of transmitters to a receiver, adds to the most advanced and secure Remote Controls
available.
The hand held GIGALINK™ transmitters have a microcontroller in-built single and channelised code
programming system that provides flexibility in programming each channel to different receivers. Each
transmitter can store to its EEPROM, up to four random channels allowing the user to program each channel
from different single channel receivers. This is achieved when single code programming the transmitter
channels from a GLR2701, which is a single channel GIGALINK™ receiver. If the transmitter is single code
programmed from a multi channel receiver, the selected receiver's channel is programmed to the selected
transmitter channel. The channels can be selected by using the dip switches on the receiver and by pressing the
appropriate channel button on the transmitter.
Channelised code programming programs all the channels, from a multi channel receiver, to the multi channel
transmitter. That is, channel one on the transmitter activates channel one on the receiver and alternatively.
Channelised system can be either used as simple on/off functions or for several channels to operate
simultaneously such as dual or multi action control for example crane transmission control.
The transmitter can be single or channelised code programmed without power connected.
Single Code Programming
This is used for programming one channel at a time to the transmitter. To single code program a transmitter read
receivers setup instructions.
Channelised Code Programming
This is used to program all channels from a multi channel receiver to the multi channel transmitter. To
channelise code program a transmitter read receivers setup instructions.

Operating Distance
An operating distance (in conjunction with our GLR27 series receivers) of 350 metres is possible.
The operating distance depends upon the receiver antenna and location. An independent test revealed the
following ranges:
Range (Metres) Receiver Antenna Receiver Type
50 250 mm Long Wire GLR27.…
200 1000 mm Long Wire GLR27.…
350 ANT27M GLR27.…
Range tests were done in an open area test site with line-of-sight operation and the receiver antenna wire was
fixed vertically, away from any metal objects.
Applications
The code programming becomes a powerful feature that allows the hand held transmitters to be used in many
diverse applications such as security, gate operation, panic buttons, multiple on/off functions etc.
Battery or DC Supply
Battery operation is optimised using the built-in battery monitoring system. The battery monitoring system
alerts the user when the battery level falls below the low battery voltage. The 1 Hz flash from the LED during a
transmission indicates low battery. This is an indication that replacement of a battery is necessary.
The GLT2708NC has the option to operate from a 9-volt battery or DC power supply. DC power supply is
connected to the 2-way terminal block. Do not connect the supply to the 2.5-mm coding socket since connection
may damage the microcontroller. Also available with a 5-Pin header for inputs.
Channels
The hand held transmitters are available with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 channels.
Custom made front Membrane
Membrane is the front label with the channel etched/printed to it. Customers can purchase the GLT2700, which
is a hand held GIGALINK™ transmitter without the front membrane. This enables the customers to fit their
custom made membrane that can be a 1, 2, 3 or 4 channels. This has the advantage of customers only stocking
one model to function as a 1, 2, 3 and 4 channels. Details of membrane dimensions are given on the following
page. Customers can even use Elsema's membrane tools to manufacture their own membranes.
The GLT2708 is also available without membrane, allowing customers to stick their own custom made
membranes. Part number is GLT2708NL
Unique Code System
The microcontroller EEPROM allows large volume users to have a unique code. This enables Elsema to offer
everyone “your own” radio control.
Case
The hand held GIGALINK™ transmitters are supplied with a case. There is also sufficient space on the rear of
the case to place additional stickers such as your telephone contact, local authorities approval numbers etc.
The GLT2700NC and GLT2708NC are No Case versions. This allows the transmitter to be integrated according
to your needs.
