Compact Handheld Transmitter Evaluation Kit

Test the performance of the compact handheld transmitter against your own design with the compact handheld transmitter evaluation kit. It comes with two remotes and an evaluation board for benchmarking and prototyping. The board is populated with a KH2 Series receiver/decoder module. A small prototyping area gives you a place to develop circuitry. To help you get started, the system also includes an antenna and an extra receiver/decoder module.

When used together, compact handheld transmitters work with Holtek decoders and compatible Linx RF modules to let you trigger discrete actions with button presses. Holtek chips provide a low level of security. They let you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity through physical addressing. The remote contains a Holtek encoder and an LR Series transmitter. It can be used with a KH2 Series receiver/decoder or with a combination of a Holtek decoder and an LT Series or LR Series RF module.

The encoder uses input from up to eight buttons to encode a digital signal, then passes the signal to a transmitter for sending. A receiver picks up the signal and passes it to a decoder. If the signal is accepted, the decoder replicates the encoder’s inputs on its outputs. The outputs can be connected to up to eight devices such as microprocessors, LEDs, motors or relays.

Security

The decoder will only accept transmissions from compatible encoders with addresses that match its own. Holtek chips allow manual addressing through DIP switches or cut traces. Because the address is visible in hardware, Holtek chips are not as secure as the MS Series and HS Series, which use digital addressing. Additionally, because Holtek chips do not use encryption or rolling code, they do not protect against intentional security threats. For protection against intentional threats, consider the HS compact handheld transmitter.

HS Long-Range Handheld Transmitter Master Development System

Rapidly develop hardware and software with the HS long-range handheld transmitter master development system. It comes with two remotes and a development board for testing and prototyping. The board is populated with an HS Series decoder and LR Series receiver. A large prototyping area gives you a place to develop circuitry or use a different RF module. To help you get started, the system also includes an antenna, extra modules, connectors, demonstration software and a USB interface for connecting to a PC.

When used together, HS long-range handheld transmitters work with HS Series decoders and compatible Linx RF modules to let you trigger discrete actions with button presses from up to 1,000 feet away. The HS Series provides a very high level of security. It lets you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity with state-of-the-art protection against intentional security threats. The remote contains an HS Series encoder and an LR Series transmitter. It can be used with a combination of an HS Series decoder and an LT Series or LR Series RF module.

The encoder uses input from up to eight buttons to encode a digital signal, then passes the signal to a transmitter for sending. A receiver picks up the signal and passes it to a decoder. If the signal is accepted, the decoder replicates the encoder’s inputs on its outputs. The outputs can be connected to up to eight devices such as microprocessors, LEDs, motors or relays.

Security

The HS Series uses CipherLinx®, an extremely secure protocol that received a glowing review from the Independent Security Evaluators. It protects against intentional security threats such as the following:

• Code scanning: trying every possible address. CipherLinx® uses an 80-bit key that makes code scanning impractical. At eight keys per second, it would take about 4,789 trillion years to try every one.
• Code grabbing: recording a transmission to replay later. With CipherLinx®, every transmission is unique. Old transmissions are not accepted, so code grabbing doesn’t work.
• Copy-paste attack: recording a transmission, then modifying the data and sending it again. CipherLinx® makes sure the data was received intact with an 80-bit integrity check. If the data was compromised, it ignores the transmission.
• Encryption attack: cracking the encryption algorithm. CipherLinx® uses Skipjack, a highly secure algorithm with no known vulnerabilities combined with a certified mixing algorithm to create a 128-bit cipher.
• Theft: stealing the remote control. An optional keypad PIN keeps stolen devices from being used.

Uniqueness and Identification

The decoder will only accept transmissions from compatible encoders with keys that match its own. The HS Series has over a million billion billion (280) possible keys, which makes accidental conflicts nearly impossible. Key generation can be configured with button presses.

MS Compact Handheld Transmitter Master Development System

Rapidly develop hardware and software with the MS compact handheld transmitter master development system. It comes with two remotes and a development board for testing and prototyping. The board is populated with an MS Series decoder and LR Series receiver. A large prototyping area gives you a place to develop circuitry or use a different RF module. To help you get started, the system also includes an antenna, extra modules, connectors, demonstration software and a USB interface for connecting to a PC.

When used together, MS compact handheld transmitters work with compatible Linx modules to let you trigger discrete actions with button presses. The MS Series provides a medium level of security. It lets you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity through digital addressing. The remote contains an MS Series encoder and an LR Series transmitter. It can be used with a combination of an MT Series transcoder or MS Series decoder and an LT Series or LR Series RF module.

The encoder uses input from up to eight buttons to encode a digital signal, then passes the signal to a transmitter for sending. A receiver picks up the signal and passes it to a decoder. If the signal is accepted, the decoder replicates the encoder’s inputs on its outputs. The outputs can be connected to up to eight devices such as microprocessors, LEDs, motors or relays.

Security

The decoder will only accept transmissions from compatible encoders with addresses that match its own. The MS Series has 16,777,216 (224) possible addresses, which makes accidental conflicts very unlikely. Addresses can be configured with button presses.

The MS Series also sends the encoder ID, making it easy to allow or deny access to specific outputs based on which encoder is doing the sending. However, because the MS Series does not use encryption or rolling code, it does not protect against intentional security threats. For protection against intentional threats, consider the HS compact handheld transmitter.

It comes with two evaluation boards for benchmarking and prototyping, each of which is populated with a transmitter/encoder or receiver/decoder module. A small prototyping area gives you a place to develop circuitry. To help you get started, the kit also includes antennas, extra modules and connectors.

KH2 Series transmitter/encoder and receiver/decoder modules let you trigger discrete actions with button presses or contact closures. They contain Holtek chips and LR Series RF modules. The KH2 Series provides a low level of security. It lets you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity through physical addressing. Use KH2 Series modules together or with compatible Linx components for reliable one-way wireless communication at 315MHz, 418MHz or 433MHz. Compared to 2.4GHz modules, narrowband modules from Linx provide longer range and lower current consumption at a more cost-effective price.

Security

The decoder will only accept transmissions from compatible encoders with addresses that match its own. The KH2 Series allows manual addressing through 10 tri-state pins. Because the address is visible in hardware, the KH2 Series is not as secure as the MS Series and HS Series, which use digital addressing. Additionally, because the KH2 Series does not use encryption or rolling code, it does not protect against intentional security threats.

HS Long-Range Handheld Transmitter Master Development System

Rapidly develop hardware and software with the HS long-range handheld transmitter master development system. It comes with two remotes and a development board for testing and prototyping. The board is populated with an HS Series decoder and LR Series receiver. A large prototyping area gives you a place to develop circuitry or use a different RF module. To help you get started, the system also includes an antenna, extra modules, connectors, demonstration software and a USB interface for connecting to a PC.

When used together, HS long-range handheld transmitters work with HS Series decoders and compatible Linx RF modules to let you trigger discrete actions with button presses from up to 1,000 feet away. The HS Series provides a very high level of security. It lets you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity with state-of-the-art protection against intentional security threats. The remote contains an HS Series encoder and an LR Series transmitter. It can be used with a combination of an HS Series decoder and an LT Series or LR Series RF module.

The encoder uses input from up to eight buttons to encode a digital signal, then passes the signal to a transmitter for sending. A receiver picks up the signal and passes it to a decoder. If the signal is accepted, the decoder replicates the encoder’s inputs on its outputs. The outputs can be connected to up to eight devices such as microprocessors, LEDs, motors or relays.

Security

The HS Series uses CipherLinx®, an extremely secure protocol that received a glowing review from the Independent Security Evaluators. It protects against intentional security threats such as the following:

• Code scanning: trying every possible address. CipherLinx® uses an 80-bit key that makes code scanning impractical. At eight keys per second, it would take about 4,789 trillion years to try every one.
• Code grabbing: recording a transmission to replay later. With CipherLinx®, every transmission is unique. Old transmissions are not accepted, so code grabbing doesn’t work.
• Copy-paste attack: recording a transmission, then modifying the data and sending it again. CipherLinx® makes sure the data was received intact with an 80-bit integrity check. If the data was compromised, it ignores the transmission.
• Encryption attack: cracking the encryption algorithm. CipherLinx® uses Skipjack, a highly secure algorithm with no known vulnerabilities combined with a certified mixing algorithm to create a 128-bit cipher.
• Theft: stealing the remote control. An optional keypad PIN keeps stolen devices from being used.

Uniqueness and Identification

The decoder will only accept transmissions from compatible encoders with keys that match its own. The HS Series has over a million billion billion (280) possible keys, which makes accidental conflicts nearly impossible. Key generation can be configured with button presses.

HS Series Remote Control Encoder & Decoder Master Development System

Rapidly develop hardware and software based on the HS Series encoder and decoder along with LR Series or ES Series RF modules using the HS Series master development system. It comes with two development boards for benchmarking and prototyping, each of which is populated with an encoder or decoder and LR Series or ES Series transmitter or receiver. A large prototyping area gives you a place to develop circuitry or use a different RF module. To help you get started, the system also includes antennas, extra modules, connectors, demonstration software and a USB interface for connecting to a PC.

When used together, HS Series encoders and decoders work with transmitters and receivers to let you trigger discrete actions with button presses or contact closures. The HS Series lets you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity with state-of-the-art protection against intentional security threats. It can be used with NT Series, LT Series, LR Series, LC Series, KH2 Series, ES Series and HP3 Series RF modules.

The encoder uses input from up to eight buttons or contact closures to encode a digital signal, then passes the signal to a transmitter for sending. A receiver picks up the signal and passes it to a decoder. If the signal is accepted, the decoder replicates the encoder’s inputs on its outputs. The outputs can be connected to up to eight devices such as microprocessors, LEDs, motors or relays.

Security

The HS Series uses CipherLinx®, an extremely secure protocol that received a glowing review from the Independent Security Evaluators. It protects against intentional security threats such as the following:

• Code scanning: trying every possible address. CipherLinx® uses an 80-bit key that makes code scanning impractical. At eight keys per second, it would take about 4,789 trillion years to try every one.
• Code grabbing: recording a transmission to replay later. With CipherLinx®, every transmission is unique. Old transmissions are not accepted, so code grabbing doesn’t work.
• Copy-paste attack: recording a transmission, then modifying the data and sending it again. CipherLinx® makes sure the data was received intact with an 80-bit integrity check. If the data was compromised, it ignores the transmission.
• Encryption attack: cracking the encryption algorithm. CipherLinx® uses Skipjack, a highly secure algorithm with no known vulnerabilities combined with a certified mixing algorithm to create a 128-bit cipher.
• Theft: stealing the remote control. An optional keypad PIN keeps stolen devices from being used.

Uniqueness and Identification

The decoder will only accept transmissions from compatible encoders with keys that match its own. The HS Series has over a million billion billion (280) possible keys, which makes accidental conflicts nearly impossible. Key generation can be configured with button presses.

Benefits

• Develop quickly: prototyping area and PC interface allow rapid development of hardware and software
• Evaluate RF modules: use the included LR Series or ES Series modules or integrate your own modules in the prototyping area
• Get help easily: call Linx for free technical support
• Protect your system: highly secure protocol protects against intentional security threats

MS Series Remote Control Encoder & Decoder Master Development System

Rapidly develop hardware and software based on the MS Series encoder and decoder along with Linx RF modules using the MS Series master development system. It comes with two development boards for benchmarking and prototyping, each of which is populated with an encoder or decoder and LR Series or ES Series transmitter or receiver. A large prototyping area gives you a place to develop circuitry or use a different RF module. To help you get started, the system also includes antennas, extra modules, connectors, demonstration software and a USB interface for connecting to a PC.

When used together, MS Series encoders and decoders work with compatible Linx RF modules to let you trigger discrete actions with button presses or contact closures. The MS Series provides a medium level of security. It lets you send commands from multiple transmitters to distinct receivers in the same vicinity through digital addressing. It can be used with NT Series, LT Series, LR Series, LC Series, KH2 Series, ES Series and HP3 Series RF modules.

The encoder uses input from up to eight buttons or contact closures to encode a digital signal, then passes the signal to a transmitter for sending. A receiver picks up the signal and passes it to a decoder. If the signal is accepted, the decoder replicates the encoder’s inputs on its outputs. The outputs can be connected to up to eight devices such as microprocessors, LEDs, motors or relays.

Security

The decoder will only accept transmissions from compatible encoders with addresses that match its own. The MS Series has 16,777,216 (224) possible addresses, which makes accidental conflicts very unlikely. Addressing can be configured with button presses.

The MS Series also sends the encoder ID, making it easy to allow or deny access to specific outputs based on which encoder is doing the sending. However, because the MS Series does not use encryption or rolling code, it does not protect against intentional security threats.
