Elsema PentaCODE® PCK43304 – 4 Button Remote

The Elsema PentaCODE® PCK43304 is a compact and powerful 4-button keyring remote, designed to deliver secure and versatile control for your gates, doors, and other automation systems. Proudly developed in Australia by Elsema, the PentaCODE® series blends advanced technology with robust durability, making it an ideal solution for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

At the heart of the PentaCODE® system is its unique dual coding capability, offering both traditional 12-way dip switch coding and modern encrypted code transmission. This flexible pairing system ensures easy installation and the highest level of security, allowing you to customise access control to your specific needs.

Operating across five different frequencies using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), the PCK43304 remote is engineered for superior signal reliability and protection against interference.

With four clearly marked buttons, this remote allows you to control multiple devices from a single unit — perfect for managing gates, garage doors, lighting, or even pool systems. It’s housed in a durable, compact keyring-friendly casing and available in a variety of colours to suit your style.

Features:

• Dual Coding Capability: Choose between the 12-way dip switch coding or advanced rolling code with over 17 billion encrypted combinations.
• High Security: FHSS technology transmits on five frequencies simultaneously, preventing interference or jamming.
• Versatile Use: Compatible with gates, garage doors, roller shutters, and home automation systems when used with Elsema PCR series receivers.
• Durable Design: Reinforced nylon keyring retainer for enhanced durability.
• Easy Programming: Simple to set up using either dip switch or rolling code methods.
• Australian Design: Engineered for reliability in a variety of environments.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What can the Elsema Pentacode PCK43304 Remote control?

The PCK43304 Remote can control gates, garage doors, roller shutters, home automation systems (such as garden lights or pool controls), and other automated devices when paired with compatible Elsema PCR series receivers.

What is the dual coding capability?

The dual coding capability allows you to choose between two coding systems:

• 12-way dip switch coding for traditional use.
• Rolling code encryption with over 17 billion possible combinations for higher security.

How does Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology work?

FHSS technology transmits the remote’s signal on five different frequencies simultaneously, making it nearly impossible for the signal to be interfered with or jammed. This technology ensures secure operation even in areas with multiple wireless devices.

Is the Elsema Pentacode PCK43304 Remote compatible with all Elsema receivers?

This remote is compatible with the Elsema PCR series receivers, but it is not compatible with Elsema control boards or light commercial receivers. Always check your receiver model for compatibility.

How do I program the PCK43304 Remote?

The remote can be programmed in two ways:

• Using the 12-way dip switch, where you match the switches on the remote with the receiver.
• Using the rolling code mode, where all dip switches are set to “OFF” and the remote automatically pairs with the receiver using encrypted coding.

What battery does the PCK43304 Remote use?

The PCK43304 Remote uses a 12V DC (23A) battery, which is included in the package. Battery life is expected to last approximately 1.5 years with average use.

Can I replace the battery easily?

Yes, the battery can be easily replaced by sliding off the battery cover located at the back of the remote. Always use the same type of battery and observe correct polarity during replacement.

Is the PCK43304 Remote weather-resistant?

While the PCK43304 Remote is designed for durability, it is not specifically waterproof. For outdoor use in harsh weather conditions, consider using a waterproof model such as the Elsema FOB43301WP.

Programming your remote

Elsema receivers are compatible with the Pentacode remotes using either the 12-Way Dipswitches or via the Advanced Rolling Code Technology.

12- Way Dip Switch Coding

• Set a random code on the receiver dip switch by flicking the dip switches “On” or “Off”.
• Open the battery cover in the Pentacode® remote.
• Match the 12-way dip switch to the receivers 12- way dip switch.
• Press button 1 on the remote and the receiver output should activate. This is indicated by the receiver LED.

To program the same Pentacode® remote buttons 2, 3 or 4 to another receiver change dip switch 11 and 12 in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th receivers.

Encrypted Coding

• All Dipswitches need to be set to OFF
• Press and hold the program button 1 on the receiver.
• Press the remote button you want to program for 2 seconds, receiver LED will flash Green
• Release the button on the receiver and the remote.
• The LED on the Pentacode® remote will flash to confirm the coding has been successful.

Deleting Memory

Short the CC pin on the receiver for 10 seconds. This will delete all the remotes from the receivers memory.
