Specifications & Selecting the Right Remote

Choosing an alarm remote involves confirming frequency, encoding, and receiver compatibility. Most South African systems run on 433MHz or 868MHz. Rolling code is preferred for modern security, reducing the risk of code grabbing. Key selection points include:

• Frequency: Match to your receiver (433/868MHz, ask for datasheet if unsure).
• Number of channels/buttons: One to four for linked outputs/access gates.
• Encoding: Rolling code (high security) vs fixed code (legacy panels).
• Build type: Fobs, keychain, rugged high-use units for industry.
• Brand compatibility: e.g., Centurion, ET Nice, IDS, Nemtek, Sherlotronics.

Always verify the programming procedure and ensure the remote is compatible with your control panel or gate/garage receiver. For multi-tenant or HOA environments, consult the body corporate's approved supplier list and panel brand before ordering replacements.
