MT Series Remote Control Transcoder
Integrated Circuit with Medium Security
Trigger discrete actions with button presses or contact closures by using MT Series transcoders with Linx RF modules. A transcoder combines an encoder and decoder. When used with Linx RF modules, the MT Series provides a medium level of security. It lets you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity through digital addressing. It can be used with NT Series, LT Series, LR Series, LC Series, KH2 Series, ES Series and HP3 Series RF modules.
The transcoder uses input from up to eight buttons or contact closures to encode a digital signal, then passes the signal to a transceiver for sending. On the receiving end, a transceiver picks up the signal and passes it to another transcoder for decoding. If the signal is accepted, the receiving transcoder tells the transceiver to send an acknowledgement signal, then replicates the sending transcoder’s inputs on its outputs. The outputs can be connected to up to eight devices such as microprocessors, LEDs, motors or relays.
Security
The transcoder will only accept transmissions from compatible transcoders with addresses that match its own. The MT Series has 16,777,216 (224) possible addresses, which makes accidental conflicts very unlikely. Addressing can be configured with button presses or through a PC or external microprocessor.
The MT Series also sends the transcoder ID with every transmission, making it easy to allow or deny access to specific outputs based on which transcoder is doing the sending. However, because the MT Series does not use encryption or rolling code, it does not protect against intentional security threats. For protection against intentional threats, consider the HS Series.
Benefits
Integrate with ease: set up simple remote control systems without a microcontroller or the need for user programming
Confirm successful transmissions: automatic acknowledgement lets you know the signal was received
Avoid accidental conflicts: 24-bit address helps prevent identification mistakes
Control access to specific outputs: accept or reject certain commands based on the sending transcoder ID
