SETTING THE TRANSMITTER ADDRESS
The Full-Size Handheld transmitter allows
the selection of one of 256 unique
addresses. All transmitters are supplied set
to the same address. To avoid contention
with other units or to create unique
relationships, the address can be changed.
This is accomplished using internal DIP
switches as shown. The switches are
accessed by removing the rear cover as for
battery replacement.

floating. The receiver’s address must match
exactly in order for the units to communicate. Application Note AN-00300
describes in detail how to set the address to match any of the receivers offered
by Linx. This note can be found in the Support section of the Linx web site,
www.linxtechnologies.com.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The CMD-HHTX-*** Full-Size Handheld transmitter combines the LR Series
transmitter and an antenna with an on-board Holtek HT640 encoder IC to form a
simple, yet highly reliable, RF remote-control transmitter. The LR Series
transmitter is a low-cost, high-performance synthesized ASK / OOK transmitter.
The transmitter’s synthesized architecture 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 that are common to SAW-based transmitter architectures,
providing a significantly higher level of performance and reliability.
When a button is pressed on the transmitter, power is applied to the internal
circuitry and the encoder IC is enabled. The encoder detects the logic states of
the address lines and button data lines. These states are formatted into a three-
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.
The transmitter is compatible with several Linx receiver products, including the
LR, KH2, LT, and OEM product families. When the transmitter is combined with
an LR Series receiver and the HT658 decoder chip, ranges of up to 750 feet are
possible. Applications operating over shorter distances will also benefit from the
increased link reliability and superior noise immunity provided by the LR Series
receiver.

CONTENTION CONSIDERATIONS
It is important to understand that only one 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.
COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
The CMD-HHTX-*** has been pre-certified by Linx for FCC Part 15 and Industry
Canada RSP-100 compliance. The 433.92MHz version has also been tested for
CE compliance for use in the European Union. The 315MHz and 418MHz
versions are not legal for use in Europe.
LABELING / INSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
The CMD-HHTX-*** Full-Size Handheld transmitter has already been labeled in
accordance with FCC, Industry Canada, and CE regulations in effect as of the
date of this document. No further labeling of the unit is needed; however, it is
necessary to include the following statement in the end product’s instruction
manual or insert card for FCC compliance. Industry Canada only requires the
shaded portion. EU does not require a statement.
INSTRUCTION TO THE USER

There are four options for receivers within the Linx
product line. The first option is to use one of the OEM
Function Modules, such as the Relay Module or the AC
Wall Module. These items are also pre-certified and
can be immediately included in a product.
The other options are to use one of the Linx receiver
modules. The signal sent by the OEM Handheld
transmitter can be received by the LR Series receiver
module or the LT Series transceiver module. These
modules can be connected to the Holtek HT658
decoder to decode the signal, or a custom
microcontroller can be programmed to decode it and
take specific action.
The KH2 Series offers a slightly simpler solution by
combining the LR Series receiver and the HT658
decoder in a single package.
When a button is pressed on the transmitter, a
corresponding line on the decoder will go high (as long
as the addresses match). This can then be connected
to whatever circuitry is required by the application.
Application Note AN-00300 discusses in detail how to
set the addresses on all of the units. Data guides for all
of the receivers, the HT640 encoder, and the HT658
decoder can be found on the Linx Technologies
website, www.linxtechnologies.com.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The outstanding sensitivity of the
LR Series receiver offers the best
range when used with the
Handheld transmitter. When using
the LR Series receiver, the Holtek
HT658 decoder chip should be
used to decode the received signal.
This decoder has ten address lines
that must match the transmitter
address lines. A DIP switch is
commonly used to set these, but
they can also be hardwired. If the
address lines match, when a button
on the transmitter is pressed a
corresponding data line on the
decoder (D0-D7) will go high.
These data lines can then be
connected to external circuitry to
perform whatever function is
required by the application.
