radiometrix ltd kdec page 2 general description kdec is optimised for use with the kfx2 (key-fob tr ansmitter) or ktx2 modules by means of a jumper lin k on the pcb, according to the preference of the user. when optimised for kfx2 it is not possible to activ ate more than one output per transmission and up to 5 relay outputs are available, matching the number of butto n inputs on the kfx2. alternatively, when optimised for use with the ktx2 module, the kdec has simple output functionality. new function-codes are fed to the relays as they are re ceived, e.g. reception of a function-code (s0, s2) will activate relays 1 and 3 simultaneously. for both v ersions, momentary/latched relay action is also sel ected by means of a jumper link on the board. visual indications the following status leds will light, depending on the status of kdec. led function description 1 - 5 relay active (red) relay energised; s0-s3 fun ction-code output low-batt tx low battery (red) transmitter supply voltage <3. 8v (approx.) learn learn/learnt (orange) multi-function indicator ? see below power power (green) power supply present using kdec learning a transmitter the learn button is pressed momentarily (<1s) and a 6-second (approx.) window follows, during which th e learn led is lit and a message received from a radi ometrix code-hopped transmitter during this period is used to learn that transmitter into the kdec memory . the function code used to activate the transmitt er during learning is also stored in memory and when t he same function code is used again from that trans mitter during normal operation the learn led lights to ind icate this. note: if a transmitter has already bee n stored it is simply re-learned (with the function code update d if this is different). upon learning a transmitt er the learn led flashes several times to indicate success. activating output relays once a transmitter has been learned its transmissio ns will be acted upon, i.e. the function code conta ined within the transmission is fed to the output relays . when optimised for use with kfx2, extra processi ng ensures that only one relay at a time is energised. either momentary or toggled/latching outputs can be used. note that this distinction applies to all t he outputs, not individual relays. when momentary output mode is selected the output is activated for a short per iod (470 ? 570ms) for reception of a single message. if the same message is received repeatedly the output sta tus is refreshed during this period: in effect, the output is ?held-on? whilst a user keeps the relevant func tion line enabled at the transmitter. when latched output mo de is selected the decoding of a single message cau ses the function-code within the message to toggle the output(s). care should be exercised when using latched (or mor e accurately ?toggled?) mode with kdec optimised fo r use with ktx2; consider the following example: one function-line (s0) is taken high and held high at t he transmitter. on reception of the message, relay 1 will change state. whilst the same message is bein g decoded the relay will not change state again. how ever, if another function-line (e.g. s1) is taken h igh whilst s0 is still held high, it will cause a new transmis sion with new hop-code and new function code (s0, s 1). on reception of this message relay 2 will change state but so will relay 1 , since the new message contains s0 and s1, which toggles relays 1 and 2 of the kdec. kdec optimised for kfx2 (being a key-fob transmitte r with up to 5 buttons) deals with this issue by no t responding to additional button-presses whilst one button is already pressed. however, this is at the expense of removing transparency to the function-code being received. the user may require more than one rela y to be activated at once: in this case, kfx2 optimised mode should be used.
radiometrix ltd kdec page 3 clearing the memory when the memory is full, no new transmitters can be learned. to clear the memory of all stored transmitters, the learn button is pressed and held for more than 6s approx. the learn led will go out and upon rele asing the button it will flash once to indicate that the memory has been cleared. it is not possible to rem ove individual transmitters from the memory. jumper settings jumper function position a (or not fitted at all) position b t kdec type kfx keyfob optimised ktx module optimis ed m relay mode momentary latching / toggled jumper t position is only read at power-up and shou ld be set before power is applied. jumper m position is read repeatedly during operati on and can be changed at any time. safety warning: extra care should be taken when handling the electr ical connection from relay to 250ac device. mains power should be disconnected before c onnecting the wires to 3-way terminal blocks to pre vent electric shock. exposed wires or terminal block sh ould not be touched during evaluation. figure 2: component layout and dimensions
radiometrix ltd kdec page 4 function s0 =1 message repeated.... 75ms: end of message 120ms: function activated start of new message s0 output: relay 1 rxd code-hopped messages ? technical brief transmission format is 1250bps (nominal rate) manch ester encoding. although the function-code is only 4 bits, total message length is 67 bits. this includ es a 28-bit serial number and a 32-bit encrypted ho p-code. note that the serial number and function code data is not encrypted. the correct status of the transm ission is used to validate the data. this is achieved throug h use of the ever changing hop-code (changes for ev ery new message) and by synchronising the kdec to the t ransmitter(s) in use. put another way: kdec ?learn s? individual unique transmitters, as required by the user. the hop-code is encrypted using the serial number o f the transmitter plus the manufacturer code (64- b it), which is kept secret and is not transmitted. the f unction-code (s0-s3) appears twice in the message a nd forms a part of the hop-code encryption process. if kdec loses synchronisation with the transmitter (e.g. repeated transmitter activation whilst out of range) then the transmitter must be activated twice with v alid and sequential hop-codes before kdec will allo w the control to be processed. the hop-code is only vali d if it is within a forward window of +32768 activations. this mechanism prevents ?code-grabbers? from breaking th e security of the system by recording and re- broadcasting old codes. additionally, kdec allows up to 14 transmissions to occur whilst the transmit ter is out of range before two valid sequential transmissions are required to use the system. in practice a user may not notice the latter, since human reaction to the unsu ccessful attempt is simply to ?press the button aga in?. the level of redundancy and encryption in a message mean that, in simple terms, kdec will only output a function-code that has been received from a properl y recognised and synchronised transmitter. figure 3: timing diagram ? showing action upon rece iving a message with s0 = 1 the typical time delay between a ?button-press? at the transmitter and relay activation by the kdec bo ard is 140ms. ordering information kdec-xxx-000 where ?xxx? is frequency band in mhz ? 433 is standard. please contact sales for other requirements. note : whilst the kdec will operate with both kfx and ktx transmitters regardless of jumper settings, it is recommended that jumper t be placed in position a ( or not fitted at all) when kdec is used with 4 and 5 button key-fobs. for these key-fobs, a comb ined function-code (s0, s2) is used as the code for one of the buttons.
