PCR43301240R & PCR43301240RE
One Channel 433MHz Penta Receiver. PCR43301240R
The PCR43301240R is a high quality 1 channel receiver designed to work seamlessly with both “PentaFOB®” and “PentaCODE®” remotes, powered directly by a 110 – 240VAC mains supply. With its single channel functionality, this receiver is ideal for controlling a wide range of devices, including automatic gates, garage doors and lighting systems.
A key feature of the PCR43301240R is its compatibility with the PentaCODE® dual coding system, which offers installers the flexibility to choose between the traditional 12-way dip switch coding method and a more advanced encrypted coding option with over 17 billion possible combinations. This dual coding capability allows the receiver to meet a variety of security needs, from basic setups to highly secure configurations.
For those who prefer the straightforward 12-way dip switch method, setup is easy: simply match the dip switch positions on both the remote and the receiver. This method is reliable and user friendly, making it ideal for situations where ease of operation is important. For enhanced security, the encrypted coding option is a strong alternative. To enable encrypted mode, just set all the 12-way dip switches to the OFF position, which automatically switches the receiver into encrypted mode. Comprehensive instructions are provided to ensure a smooth and secure setup process.
Wide supply voltage range of 110 – 240VAC makes it perfectly suited for international markets, including the USA and Europe.

Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the PCR43301240R?
The PCR43301240R is a single channel 433MHz receiver designed to be powered directly from a 110V to 240V AC mains supply. It is used to wirelessly control devices like gates, garage doors, and lights using Elsema’s PentaFOB® or PentaCODE® remotes.
Does the PCR43301240R provide a powered 240V output?
The PCR43301240R is powered by 240V AC, but the output is a Voltage-Free (dry contact) relay. This gives you the flexibility to switch any voltage (e.g., 12V, 24V, or 240V) through the relay contacts.
Can I use the PCR43301240R in countries with 110V power, like the USA?
Yes. The PCR43301240R features a wide supply voltage range of 110V to 240V AC. This makes it a versatile global solution suitable for both Australian (240V) and American (110V) power standards.
What are the available output modes?
The receiver is highly configurable and supports several output modes:
- Momentary: The relay is active as long as the remote button is pressed.
- Latching: The relay toggles ON with one press and OFF with the next.
- Delayed OFF: The relay stays active for a pre-set duration after the button is pressed.
- On-Off: Button 1 turns relay ON and Button 2 turns relay OFF.
- Security Latching: The relay stays active until power to the receiver is manually removed.
- Instant Off: Same as Delayed Off but receiver switches off instantly when transmitter input if deactivated.
What is the maximum electrical load the PCR43301240R can handle?
The internal heavy-duty relay is rated to switch up to 8 Amps at 240V AC. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including high-power security lighting, exhaust fans, pond pumps and motors.
How do I switch between DIP switch and Encrypted coding?
The receiver automatically switches to Encrypted Mode if all 12 DIP switches are set to the OFF position. If any of the switches are ON, the receiver defaults to the classic DIP switch coding method.
Is the PCR43301240R compatible with both PentaFOB® and PentaCODE®?
Yes, the PCR43301240R is designed to work seamlessly with both series. You can use the convenient PentaFOB® key ring remotes or the PentaCODE® transmitters with the same receiver.
Does the PCR43301240R use Frequency Hopping technology?
Yes, the PCR43301240R uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology. The system hops between different frequencies within the 433MHz band, making it extremely difficult for other wireless devices to interfere with or jam the signal.
Can I mount this receiver outdoors?
The standard PCR43301240R is an open-board module. However, Elsema offers the PCR43301240RE, which comes pre-installed in a rugged, IP-rated weatherproof case specifically for outdoor or wash-down environments.
Does the receiver have an external antenna option?
Yes, while the PCR43301240R comes with a micro antenna, the board includes an SMA connector. This allows you to connect an external antenna like the ANT433S if the receiver is mounted inside a metal box or in a location with poor signal reception.
