About The REC-43 Module Operation
The REC-43 is a “stand-alone” universal receiver unit for 12 Volt applications. It has 4 outputs, which can be assigned to any of the transmitter’s
buttons. When the REC-43 receives a signal from the included transmitter, it activates the pre-assigned output. When activated the outputs supply
500mA (-) negative ground (500 milliamps = 0.5amp of ground). Each of the outputs may be congured as:
a) “TIMED PULSE” = When the output is activated, it will last for a preset period of time, from @ 1/5 of a second to @ 30 seconds.
b) “ON DEMAND” = When the output is activated, it will last for as long as the transmitter’s button is pressed.
c) “LATCH / UNLATCH” = When the output is activated, it will remain activated until an additional signal is received from the transmitter.

Red wire: (+) 12 Volts Input, on the 4-pin plug supplies power to operate the REC-43.
Black wire: Negative Ground, must be connected to the negative side of the power source like a vehicle’s chassis.
The Outputs: are numbered as #1, #2, #3, and #4 in reference to their sequence within the transmitter programming procedure (see “Program-
ming Transmitters” and “Conguring Outputs”). Specic connection of these wires is contingent upon the application. When the REC-43 is used
to operate other controlling devices (remote engine starter, for example), connection is typically wire-to-wire directly to the device’s activation
wire. The other most common interface method is connecting the output wire to activate a relay to control the vehicle’s circuit (an example would
be locking or unlocking the doors). All 4 outputs have a 500mA capacity that should not be exceeded.
Note: The center pin on the 3-pin plug is (+) 12 Volts Output (500mA). It provides power to relay coils only of an optional door lock/unlock interface.

PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERS:
The REC-43 needs to be connected to power and ground, and all of the transmitters which are to operate the unit need to be present. A small
instrument, such as screwdriver or toothpick, is needed to press the Transmitter Programming Switch which is located below the small opening
on the top of REC-43’s case.
Your Action:
STEP 1: Press and hold the Transmitter
Programming Switch for 2 seconds.
STEP 2: Release the Transmitter Programming Switch.
STEP 3: In sequence of desired operation, press the buttons on
the rst transmitter. Only one button, or up to four buttons, on each
transmitter may be coded into the REC-43.
STEP 4: To program the button codes of an additional transmitter,
press and hold the Transmitter Programming Switch.
REPEAT Step 2 and Step 3.
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING NOTE #1: Exit transmitter programming mode by waiting 10 seconds, without transmitting any button codes.
Upon exiting, the unit chirps 5 times and the LED goes out.
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING NOTE #2: a transmitter code must be entered into a slot in order to access the next slot, even if the rst
output(s) are not planned to be used.
Unit’s Reaction:
The Transmitter Programming Indicator Light will illuminate, and the
REC-43 will softly chirp 4 times, then chirp louder one more time. It
is ready to receive the rst transmitter’s button codes.
The unit will beep once and the indicator light will ash once when
the rst button code is learned, then 2 times for the second button
code, 3 times for the third button and 4 times for the fourth button.
The REC-43 has four button code “slots” for each transmitter, the
code slots’ numerical order in the programming procedure equals
the output number- slot #1 is output #1, slot #2 is output #2, slot #3
is output #3, and slot #4 is output #4.
The REC-43 will chirp twice to indicate that it’s ready to learn the
second transmitter’s button codes (or chirp 3 times for a third transmitter, or four times for a fourth transmitter).
CONFIGURING THE OUTPUTS:
Each output can operate as a Timed Pulse, On Demand, or Latch / Unlatch type. The way in which the operation is determined is by a 3-position
switch; each output has its own switch, as shown below.
On Demand and Latch / Unlatch programming:
To congure On Demand or Latch / Unlatch operation, simply place
the selected output’s switch in the center or outboard position.
Timed Pulse programming:
Placing an output’s switch in the inboard position will congure
the output for Timed pulse operation. The length of time of the
output is adjustable from 1/10 second to 30 seconds.
To change an output’s pulse time, remove the
programming jumper, then operate the output
and adjust the output pulse more or less by
turning the variable adjustment. When the
desired output pulse time has been properly
set, reinstall the programming jumper.
