The µLink series remote control is designed for industrial, home, or automotive applications. These devices are pre-certified for FCC Part 15 compliance and are available in 2, 4, and 8 channel configurations. The standard operating frequency is 418MHz, with 433MHz also available.

Technical Specifications

• Operating Frequency: 418MHz (standard), 433MHz (optional)
• Channels: Available in 2, 4, and 8 channel units.
• Battery: Powered by a 3V lithium cell battery (CR2032 for remote units).
• Transmission Range: Typically 100 feet.
• Decoding: Signals can be decoded using Xilor's decoder ICs or RF receiver subassemblies.
• FCC Compliance: FCC ID: PNZ4XX. Complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules for Class-B digital devices.

Usage Features

• Unique Serial Number: Each transmitter is factory programmed with a unique sequential serial number during manufacturing, eliminating the need for manual address setting.
• Channel Assignment: The devices feature clearly labeled buttons for channel selection (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4 for a 4-channel unit, and 1-8 for an 8-channel unit). These numbers are for documentation purposes and do not appear on stock units.
• Contention Management: Only one transmitter of a specific carrier frequency can operate without contention. If two signals of the same frequency are within each other's operating range, it will result in signal "jamming."
• Safety Precautions: Xilor's wireless control devices should not be used in applications where safety risks or potential loss of life may occur.

Maintenance Features

• Battery Replacement: The battery is factory installed. To replace the battery, use a CR2032 Lithium cell. It is crucial to observe polarity when replacing the battery; the battery cell holder has a plus (+) indicator. To remove the battery, use a non-metallic object to push it out of the cell holder.

FCC Information and Compliance

The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) the device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) the device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used according to instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment causes 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:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. 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. 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.

Changes and modifications made by the user to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
