General Description

The KRX2 is a UHF FM receiver and rolling code decoder/interface module for secure wireless remote control and keyless security systems, compatible with KTX2 and KFX2 products.

Pin Description

Key pins include:

  • Pin 1: RSSI - Analogue output for signal strength.
  • Pin 5: LRN (OUT) - Digital Learn function indicator.
  • Pin 8: +5V - Power supply input.
  • Pin 10: RF IN - Antenna input.
Using KRX2

Ensure supply voltage does not exceed 5.5V. Connect with a mode switch and learn button for experiments.

Learning a Transmitter

Initiate a 5-second learning window by pressing the Learn button. The function code is stored and indicated by the Learn LED.

Activating Outputs

Learned transmitters activate outputs S0 – S3, supporting 10ms single-shot and momentary modes.

Clearing the Memory

Hold the Learn button for over 5 seconds to clear all transmitters. Individual removal is not possible.

Code-Hopped Messages

Uses Manchester encoding with a 28-bit serial number and 32-bit encrypted hop-code for security.

Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)

Provides a 60dB range indication of signal strength for link quality assessment.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
  • Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C.
  • Storage temperature: -40°C to +100°C.
  • DC supply: -0.1V to +5.5V.
Performance Specifications

Supply voltage: 4.5V to 5.25V; RF sensitivity: -114 dBm.

Module Mounting Considerations

Ensure good RF layout practice with direct ground returns and short connections.

Antenna Requirements

Recommended antennas: Helical, Loop, and Whip, each with specific performance characteristics.

Antenna Placement and Design Considerations

Avoid metal proximity; ideal placement is protruding from the product top.
