Description
The FMT-3… series has 3 versions - 1-channel (FMT-312E), 2-channel (FMT-31202E) and 4-channel (FMT-31204E)
No case versions are also available - 1-channel (FMT-312), 2-channel (FMT-31202) and 4-channel (FMT-31204)
The FMT-3… has a 1-watt transmission with a current consumption of 300mA .
The FMT-3… series is designed to give a controlled range of up to 3km. The controlled operation can be any electronic or electrical operated device when used with the FMR-… series of receivers.
The transmitter uses a specially programmed micro-controller , which ensures the highest reliability, low sleep mode current (10uA) consumption and greater flexibility.
The FMT-312 transmitter is the PCB assembly only, while the FMT-312E transmitter is enclosed in an alloy metal case.
External supply connection and SO239 antenna socket is provided with the transmitter.
The transmitter modes are user selectable by simply setting the 2-Way dip-switch on the transmitter board.
Transmitter Modes
 |
Off Delay 2 – 62 seconds
Transmitter will transmit a 1.5 second transmission burst and then stop for the "off delay" time selected. The "off delay" time is user selectable between 2 to 62 seconds by adjusting trimpot on the transmitter board. If the code changes during the "off delay" period the new code will be transmitted immediately. When the "off delay" time lapses, transmitter will transmit another burst. The transmitter will cycle (transmission and off delay) indefinitely, if at least one code switch from the 12-Way code switch is ON and supply is connected. |
 |
Off Delay 1 – 10 minutes
Same as mode 1 except the "off delay" is user selectable between 1 to 10 minutes. |
 |
Continuous transmission
Transmitter will transmit continuously, if at least one code switch from the 12-Way code switch is ON and supply is connected. A transmission limit of five minutes is used to comply with local radio regulations.
To activate a receiver longer than 5 minutes, use a delay off feature in the receiver (FMR-212T) and transmitter. The delay off feature in the receiver needs to be set more than the transmitter. This ensures that the transmitter keeps resetting the off delay in the receiver. Refer to Application Note |
 |
1.5 – 10 seconds one burst transmission
Transmitter will transmit one burst and then go to standby or sleep mode. Adjusting the trimpot will vary the burst length. When the code is changed and supply is connected, transmitter will emit one new burst of the new code. (This only applies to FMT-312). FMT-31202 and FMT-31204 will only transmit when a different input is activated. |
| Sleep mode (10 uA) is activated when all 12 code switches are OFF; this applies to all four modes. |

Using FMT-31202 and FMT-31204
To Use FMT-31202 with a 2 channel receiver, and FMT-31204 with a 4 channel receiver, just match the 10 way dip switch on the transmitter to the receiver.
Using 2 Different Receivers with FMT-31202
FMT-31202 can also be used with 2 different single channel receivers e.g. FMR-212.
Make sure the 10 way dip switch on the transmitter board matches the first 10 dip switches on the receiver. Set the receivers dip switch 11 and 12 as described below.
When Button A is pressed, dip Switch 11 is transmitted as “ON” (Dip switch 11 on the Receiver is up)
When Button B is pressed, dip Switch 11 is transmitted as “OFF” (Dip switch 11 on the Receiver is down)
When wire link is connected (Factory default), dip switch 12 is “ON” (Dip switch 12 on the Receiver is up)
When wire link is disconnected (cut), dip switch 12 is “OFF” (Dip switch 12 on the Receiver is down).
(see picture below for the location of the wire link)

Using 4 Different Receivers with FMT-31204
FMT-31204 can also be used with 4 different single channel receivers e.g. FMR-212. This can be setup as follows:
- Make sure the 10 way dip switch on the transmitter board matches the first 10 dip switches of the receiver.
- The receivers dip switch 11 and 12 configuration is illustrated below.
