Until now all other general remote control transmitters by their nature can be easily reprogrammed to match any other transmitter made by the same manufacturer. This is unavoidable as these remote control transmitters have their code set via user adjustable miniature switches. This means that it is easy to look at the switch setting of someone's remote control and then set the same code on another transmitter made by the same manufacturer. The "copied" transmitter is indistinguishable from the original and will operate just as effectively - without the knowledge of the original owner.

Conventional systems transmit the same code from a transmitter every time a button is pushed. The relative number of code combinations for a low end system is also a relatively small number. These shortcomings provide the means for a thief to create a device that ‘grabs’ a transmission and re-transmits it later or a device that scans all possible combinations until the correct one is found. Given the small number of code combinations (at most several thousand), and the high rate at which codes can be transmitted, it can be a matter of only seconds before a correct code is transmitted - even if all codes are used.

The AKTX4-W26 employs sophisticated code hopping technology and an encryption algorithm to achieve an extremely high level of security. Code hopping is a method by which the code transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver is different every time a button is pushed. This method, coupled with a transmission length of 69 bits, virtually eliminates the use of code ‘grabbing’ or code ‘scanning’.

Features

• Can be used to in parallel with any 26 bit wiegand proximity readers.
• 4 pairs of wiegand outputs provide separate card reads for each of the Airkey’s four buttons.
• Self-learing and self-synchronizing receiver technology fully implements independent rolling key encryption for all 65536 possible card numbers within any one site code.
• Site / facility code selection by simple rotary switches ensures non matching site code transmitter transactions are not passed to the access control system. Compatibility with 2 and 4 channel Airkeys allows for maximum flexibility.
• Compatibility with 2 and 4 channel Airkeys allows for maximum flexibility.
• Other formats including 27, 30, 32, 34, 35, 36 and 37 bit wiegand available on request (except for proprietary codes restricted to certain companies).
• 69 bit encrypted data transmission guarantees security.
• All transmissions immune from code grabbing and code scanning techniques as often used by ever resourceful thieves.
• The advanced amplifier-sequenced hybrid (ASH) receiver with 2 stages of surface acoustic wave (SAW) filtering provides excellent receiver out-of-bound rejection.
• The receiver generates virtually no RF emissions, facilitating compliance with ETSI I-ETS 300 220 and similar regulations.
• No price penalty for far superior technology. Excellent product support
