OEM KEYFOB TRANSMITTER DATA GUIDE
DESCRIPTION
The Linx CMD-KEY#-***-xxx Keyfob
transmitter is ideal for general-purpose
remote control and command applications. It
has been pre-certified for FCC Part 15,
Industry Canada, and European CE 1.00"
S4
(433MHz only) compliance, reducing S1 S5 S3
development costs and time to market. 2.23"
Available in 315, 418 (standard), or S2
433.92MHz, this stylish and compact remote
has a range of up to 750 feet when combined
with the LR Series receiver. The Keyfob can
be configured with 1 to 5 buttons and the 1.37" 0.45"
keypad and labeling can be modified to meet
specific customer requirements. Selectable
addressing provides security and allows the Figure 1: Package Dimensions
creation of up to 1,024 distinct transmitter-
receiver relationships. The Keyfob is
available in black, white, or translucent
colors. The transmission can be decoded
using a matching Linx Function Module, KH
Series receiver / decoder, or an LR or LT
Series receiver paired with a decoder IC or
microcontroller. The unit operates from a
single 3V CR2032 lithium button cell.

delivers outstanding stability and frequency accuracy while minimizing the effects
of antenna port loading and mismatching. This reduces or eliminates frequency
pulling, bit contraction, and other negative effects common to SAW-based
transmitter architectures, providing a significantly higher level of performance
and reliability. S4
When a button is pressed on the transmitter, power is applied to the internal S4
circuitry and the encoder IC is enabled. The encoder detects the logic states of S5 S5
the address lines and button data lines. These states are formatted into a three- S2 S2
word transmission cycle that continues until the button is released. The encoder
data is used to modulate the transmitter, which, through the antenna, conveys
the data into free space. On the receiver side, a decoder IC or custom
microcontroller is used to check the transmitter’s address bits against the
address settings of the receiving device. If a match is confirmed, the decoder’s
outputs are set to replicate the transmitter’s button states. These outputs can
then be used to activate external circuitry required by the application. Button Data Line
The transmitter is compatible with several Linx receiver products, including the S1 D0
LR, KH2, LT, and OEM product families. For applications where range is critical, S4 S4
the LR Series receiver is the best choice due to its outstanding sensitivity. When S1 S3 S1 S5 S3 S2 D1
the transmitter is combined with an LR Series receiver and the HT658 decoder S2 S3 D2

immunity provided by the LR Series receiver. S5 D4

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a Class B
computing device, pursuant to FCC Rules. In order to maintain compliance with
FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation
with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in
interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and
modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

RECEIVERS GND
There are four options for receivers within the Linx ADDRESS SELECT
product line. The first option is to use one of the OEM CUT TRACE FOR
Function Modules, such as the Relay Module or the AC
Wall Module. These items are also pre-certified and VCC
can be immediately included in a product.
The other options are to use one of the Linx receiver B1
modules. The signal sent by the Keyfob transmitter can VCC GND
be received by the LR Series receiver module or the LT 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13

connected to the Holtek HT658 decoder to decode the VCC D0 A9 A8 A7 A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0
signal, or a custom microcontroller can be programmed
to decode it and take specific action.
