Frequently Asked Questions
What is KEELOQ code hopping technology?
KEELOQ is an advanced encryption technology that transmits a unique, random code with each button press. This makes it virtually impossible for criminals to 'grab' your signal and replicate it, providing superior security compared to fixed-code remotes.
Can I use a SENTRY remote with other brand receivers?
No, SENTRY code hopping remotes can only be learned into compatible SENTRY receivers or SENTRY products equipped with receivers. The encrypted nature of the transmissions is not compatible with other manufacturers, even those using similar technology.
What should I do if my SENTRY remote is lost or stolen?
If your remote is lost or stolen, you should immediately erase it from your receiver. Each SENTRY transmitter has a unique serial number, making it easy to identify and remove from the system. Refer to your receiver's user manual for the specific deletion procedure.
How do I learn a SENTRY remote into my receiver?
The general procedure involves pressing the learn button on your receiver, selecting an available memory slot, then pressing the desired button on your transmitter. Always hold the remote at least 10cm away from the receiver during learning to prevent signal overload.
What battery does the SENTRY remote use?
The SENTRY 433MHz code hopping remote uses a standard 12V 23A battery, which is widely available at electronics stores and supermarkets. The low power consumption of 9mA ensures long battery life.
Is the SENTRY remote compatible with gate motors in South Africa?
Yes, SENTRY remotes are designed for the South African market, operating at 433.92MHz which is the standard frequency for gate automation in South Africa. They're compatible with SENTRY receivers commonly used with various gate motor installations.
