Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LINEAR from 3G Electric.
What frequency do Linear visor transmitters operate on?
Linear visor transmitters in the 3G Electric catalog operate at maximum frequencies of 300 MHz or 310 MHz, depending on the model. For example, the MCS308911 operates at 300 MHz, while the DNT00017A operates at 310 MHz. The frequency must match the receiver for proper function. When selecting a replacement or new transmitter, verify the frequency of the existing system. These transmitters are available in one-, two-, and four-button configurations, with code capacities ranging from 64 to 1,024 codes. The visor form factor allows mounting in a vehicle for convenient access control.
How many codes are available on Linear key ring transmitters?
Linear key ring transmitters listed by 3G Electric have code capacities that vary by model. The MCS108210 has a maximum frequency of 310 MHz and does not specify a code count in the provided data, while the DNT00026 operates at 310 MHz with 256 selectable codes. The MCS307010 operates at 300 MHz. Code capacity affects the number of unique transmitter-receiver combinations possible. For systems requiring higher security or more unique codes, select a model with a higher code count. Always confirm compatibility with the receiver's code format. Batteries are included with these key ring transmitters for immediate use.
Are batteries included with Linear remote controls?
Yes, the Linear remote controls supplied by 3G Electric typically include batteries. This applies to both visor and key ring transmitters, such as the MCS308911, DNT00017A, DT-4, MCS108210, DNT00026, MCS 414001, MCS412001, and MCS307010. The inclusion of batteries means the transmitter can be put into service without purchasing separate power sources. However, battery type and life may vary by model, and replacement batteries should be selected according to the manufacturer's specifications. For long-term maintenance, consider stocking spare batteries. The product data indicates 'Batteries Included' for these SKUs, simplifying procurement and deployment.
What is the difference between Linear visor and key ring transmitters?
Linear visor transmitters are designed to be mounted on a vehicle's visor, providing convenient access control from inside a car, often for gates or garage doors. Key ring transmitters are portable and intended to be carried on a key ring, allowing personal access control. Both types are available in single- and multi-channel versions. Visor models in the 3G Electric catalog include the MCS308911, DNT00017A, DT-4, MCS 414001, and MCS412001. Key ring models include the MCS108210, DNT00026, and MCS307010. The choice depends on usage context: visor for vehicle-based operation, key ring for personal carry. Both operate at 300 MHz or 310 MHz and include batteries.
Can Linear transmitters be used with existing access control systems?
Linear transmitters can be used with compatible access control systems, provided the frequency and code format match the receiver. The transmitters operate at 300 MHz or 310 MHz and support various code capacities. Before integrating, verify that the receiver operates on the same frequency and can learn or accept the transmitter's code. Many systems have specific programming procedures for adding transmitters. The product data for each SKU includes frequency and code information to assist in matching. If replacing an existing transmitter, note the original model's specifications. 3G Electric supplies these transmitters globally, and technical documentation is available to support selection and compatibility checks.
What are the channel options for Linear visor transmitters?
Linear visor transmitters are available with one, two, or four channels, corresponding to the number of buttons. For example, the MCS308911 is a single-channel, one-button transmitter; the DNT00017A is a two-channel, two-button model; and the DT-4 is a four-channel, four-button unit. Multi-channel transmitters allow control of multiple functions or barriers from a single remote. The channel count should be selected based on the number of separate operations required. Code capacities vary: the MCS308911 has 1,024 codes, the DNT00017A has 128 codes, and the DT-4 has 64 codes. All include batteries. These transmitters are suitable for gate, garage, and access control applications.
