What are radio drivers?

Radio controllers are devices that allow you to integrate remote controls into your alarm system or automation installation. Thanks to them, you can remotely turn on or off devices (e.g. gates, blinds, lighting) or control alarm system components (arms, alarm resets) using radio remote controls.

Main types of radio controllers available in the offer

• Single channel (1 relay): They allow you to control one object or function. Example: Satellite RK-1K. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Two channel (2 relays): They allow to control two independent circuits from one controller. Example: Satellite RK–2K. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• 4-channel: Driver with four outputs – ideal for extended installation. Example: Satellite RK-4K / RK-4K SMA. {index=2}
• Wireless controllers with additional inputs/outputs: Such as the MTX-300 Satellite that support pilots, radio detectors and have many relay / input outputs. {index=3}
• 433 MHz heterodinal controllers: Models like RXH-2K / RXH-4K provide control with a large number of pilots and KeeLoq® coding for transmission security. {index=4}

Why use radio controllers in alarm systems?

• Remote control: It allows for convenient switching on/off functions by remote control, without the need for physical access to the control panel.
• Integration with SSWiN: Drivers have inputs that can work with the control panel, e.g. to record the state of standby or alarm. {index=5}
• Transmission security: They use dynamically variable codes (e.g. KeeLoq®), making it difficult to copy an unauthorized signal. {index=6}
• Universal application: They can be used not only for alarms, but also for gate, lighting or roller blind automation.

What should I pay attention to when choosing a radio controller?

• Number of channels: Select 1, 2 or 4 channels depending on the number of circuits you want to control remotely.
• Pilot support: Check how many pilots can be registered (RK-1K up to 1024). {index=7}
• Sabotage security: Well, if the driver has a tamper contact that signals the opening of the housing. {index=8}
• Alarm inputs and outputs: Does the controller have inputs indicating the status of the control panel (alarm/sensory) and the OC output of the signal. {index=9}
• Power supply: Check the power supply voltage – many devices work on 12–24 V DC or AC. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Radio coverage: Often given as “up to 350 m” in open ground – in the building may be smaller. {index=11}

Example of radio controllers

• Satellite RK-1K: 1-channel radio controller, up to 1024 pilots. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
• Satellite RK-2K: 2-channel controller, additional inputs/outputs for integration with the control panel. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
• Satellite RK-4K SMA: 4-channel controller with possibility to connect an external antenna (SMA) for better range. {index=14}
• Satellite RXH-4K: 4-channel heterodine controller, up to 340 pilots, KeeLoq® coding. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
• Satellite MTX-300: Universal radio controller, supports pilots, detectors and signals – 8 relay outputs, 433 MHz. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16]
• Satellite RE-1K / RE-2K: Radio controllers with 1 or 2 channels and OC output reporting relay status. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}

Advantages of buying radio drivers at MikaShop

• Wide selection of models: From simple single channel to multichannel controllers and 8-output controllers.
• Compatibility with the alarm system: Most models work with SSWiN headquarters and popular 433 MHz pilots.
• Remote control: The ability to control devices by means of a remote control without cable interference.
• Transmission security: Many models use KeeLoq® coding, which increases eavesdrop resistance/copy signal.

FAQ – most common questions

Can I connect the radio controller to the control panel?

Yes – RK-K and RXH drivers have state inputs (alarm/warm), so they can work with the emergency control unit. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}

How many pilots can I program in the RK-1K controller?

Satellite RK-1K supports up to **1024 pilots** working on 433 MHz. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}

Does the RXH-4K driver support code encryption?

Yes – uses KeeLoq® coding for increased transmission security. {index=20}
