402U Wireless Receiver

Installation Manual

Edition_A1
Thank you for purchasing Solidremote 402U

standalone receiver with SolidAdvantage.

Familiarise yourself with the following instructions

prior to commencing setup. Store this information in

a safe place for future reference.

Part of 4th generation 40X receiver family, 402U is

by far the best 2Ch wireless receiver made by us. It

is our first receiver built with STEP concept from the

ground up to easily provide optimum security and

performance for tons of applications.

Brand new TrioAES 433 code plus frequency dual

hopping technology is implemented as a solid RF

platform, with advanced features loaded such as

remote learning, X mode, smart alert, smart range,

flexible expansion port and built-in beeper.

The best part is, you can control the whole system
in a breeze, by straightforward LED segment

display and DIP switches.

This makes our receiver perfect for controlling a

variety of home automation devices such as garage

door openers, motorized gates, lifts, lights, alarms

plus much more where security matters.

At a Glance

402U wireless receiver has two relays on board

which provide normally open (NO) dry contact for

controlling virtually any electronic device. Both

independent relays can be programmed to any of

three modes - pulse, hold or latching.

Two additional external relays can be expanded for

advanced users (see 6X Expansion Ports section).

Compatible Transmitters

402U Rev. A receiver works with all Solidremote

TrioAES 433 mainstream transmitters and

TrioAES 433-X transmitters with eXtended range.

With Solidremote’s TrioAES technology, traditional

code grabbers are blocked outside because our RF

code and frequency change continuously in

transmission. In addition, with over 87 duodecillion

(8.7 x 1040) codes, the chances of ever repeating a

code are virtually non-existent.

Furthermore, every transmission is protected by

AES encryption algorithm, which is adopted by the

U.S. government and used worldwide due to its

high security.

③ Relay 2 ON - Relay 2 activated

④ X Steady ON - Receiver is in X mode

eXtended Flashing - X transmitter working

⑤ ! Flashing - Receiver has detected

Smart Alert and blocked a RF replay attack, it’s

likely someone nearby is hacking

using code grabber if this has

happened multiple times.

Alert will only turn off when receiver

is powered off or reset.

⑥ ON - Entered programming, erasing

7-Segment or reporting # mode

Display † In following pages, LED refers to

7-segment LED display unless

otherwise specified.

⑦ Serving as audio aids, beeper will

Beeper usually sound when LED changes.

It can be particularly useful when

receiver is placed out of sight.

Open ⑧ Beeper SW jumper if you

would like to disable it, keep jumper

in a safe place for future use.

⑨ DIP switches for mode and function control

⑩ 0.1" pitch, refer to 6X Expansion Ports section

Setting Relay Operating Modes

Pulse Mode – Relay contact is active whilst

transmitter button is pressed, min. active period is

0.5 seconds, also known as momentary / M

Hold Mode – Relay changes state at each press of

transmtter button. Hold, Release, Hold etc. (like an

on/off switch), also known as toggle / T

Latching Mode – Relay maintains its state after

being activated by corresponding transmitter button,

until transmitter’s next command is received.

It looks like two relays interact with each other on

402U receiver, relay 1 on then relay 2 off, relay 2 on

then relay 1 off.

An ~300ms delay is implemented by design to ease

relay off to on transition in latching mode.

Advanced working modes such as timed output

and sequenced output are possible via ODM order.

DIP # 1 ON ON OFF OFF

DIP # 2 ON OFF ON OFF

Relay 1 Pulse Hold Latching Pulse

Relay 2 Hold Hold Latching Pulse

† Relay 1&2 are two onboard relays, while relay

3&4 are virtual relays which follow relay 1&2’s

operating mode respectively (3→1 / 4→2), except

for latching mode, where any transmitter button

controlling relay # >2 will turn off both relays 1&2.

For example, if you assign transmitter button C to

virtual relay 3, since 3>2 so button C will turn off

both relays 1&2 in latching mode.

Storing, Erasing & Reporting Remotes

Press and release PRG button on receiver board

to cycle through programming, erasing and

reporting modes, LED segment display will change

to indicate the current working mode.

After every mode change, LED’s dot will flash

around 10 seconds. If no valid transmitter button is

pressed during this period, receiver will exit to

normal working mode, followed by LED turned off

immediately.

Solidremote’s Smart Range feature automatically

limit receiver’s range during programming &

erasing (except in remote learning), this is to avoid

interference from unwanted transmitters far away.

 Storing / Programming Mode

LED Usage

Number on left side indicates which

1 relay you would like to program into.

1&2 are for two onboard relays,

2 while 3&4 are for virtual relay ports,

see 6X Expansion Ports section for

3 usage on latter

1. Press the transmitter button you

4 would like to use to control the

device channel until LED dot

flashes quickly, indicating that the

button has been stored.

2. Release transmitter button.

3. If you would like to program

another button to same relay #,

 repeat the above steps 1-2.

4. Wait 10 seconds until receiver

LED turned off, you can press the

transmitter button to test operation.

A (ALL) is for whole transmitter

A learning instead of button by button,

storing procedure is same as above

steps 1-4, except for that press any

transmitter button will memorize the

whole transmitter, then button will

control respective relay A→1 B→2

C→3 D→4 automatically.

It’s preferred method if you would

like to store many transmitters

efficiently.

Make sure antenna installed before programming

 Erasing Mode

Press any button on transmitter will

d erase all memorized buttons on that

transmitter.

LED dot flashes quickly indicates

that all codes associated with that

transmitter are now erased.

Reporting # Mode

No transmitter is required under this

working mode

- Wait 10 seconds while LED dot

flashes, then it will show how many

memory slots are occupied by now.

For example, 12 slots used will

display as 1 .. 2 .. LED OFF

Code Learning Behaviour

1. Receiver will only learn the code of a particular

transmitter button once, also one relay can only be

controlled by one transmitter button on a particular

remote (strictly one to one relationship). If you try to

code new transmitter button in a way not following

above rules, then receiver will simply discard all

previous codes related, only keep the latest one.

2. 402U Rev. A has 80 memory slots in total, if you

attempt to store new transmitter button when

memory is already full, it will be refused by receiver

along with LED showing F for 1 second then

turn off, you must erase old codes before proceed,

refer to Reporting # Mode to check currently used

slots.
Erasing All Stored Transmitter Codes

1. Turn power off to receiver.

2. Press and hold PRG button.

3. While holding PRG button turn power back on,

LED will count down from 5 to zero in 5 seconds.

After that LED will show flashing E while

erasing in progress, LED will turn off after all

receiver memory has been cleared, usually

seconds later.

4. Release PRG button. All stored transmitter

codes should now be erased.

Confirm this by pressing transmitter buttons

previously used to operate the receiver, there

should be no response.
Remote Learning Procedure

Remote learning makes it easy for you to store new

transmitters over-the-air, without touching PRG

button on receiver, it is particularly useful if receiver

is located somewhere difficult to access.

DIP # 3 must be turned ON to enable remote

learning feature, remote learning is disabled by

default to provide maximum security.

You will need at least one transmitter that is already

programmed, serving as master transmitter, before

proceed to programming steps below.

1. Press ASSOC button on master transmitter for

one second then release, ASSOC button is usually

A+B pressed together on TrioAES 433 transmitters.

2. Within 5 seconds, press ASSOC button again for

one second then release.

3. LED will turn on to show — with flashing dot.

4. Within 10 seconds, select relay channel for

programming by pressing an already assigned

button on master transmitter for one second then

release. LED will show selected channel number.

For example, if button A on master transmitter is

assigned to relay 1, then press A here makes all

new buttons programmed to relay 1 in step below.

5. Within 10 seconds, press new transmitter button

you would like to use for one second then release.

6. Repeat step 5 above if you would like to learn

other transmitters.

7. Receiver will exit remote learning mode if no

valid transmitter button pressed within 10 seconds.

X Mode Introduction

X (eXtended) mode is designed to achieve even

better range and stability by fine-tuning receiver to

increase sensitivity by 4dBm.

⚠ X mode works with TrioAES 433-X

transmitters only, using it on TrioAES 433

transmitters will result in extremely worse range.

DIP # 4 must be turned ON to enable X mode,

only turn on DIP # 4 when you solely use X mode

transmitters with receiver, default setting is OFF.

† Switching DIP # 4 will also cause receiver to reset

and become unresponsive for approx 1.5 seconds,

X LED indicates current X mode on/off status after

auto reset completes.

24VAC transformer can get you 30VAC due to

mains voltage fluctuation and transformer error.

2. Never connect antenna to both connectors.

3. Only NO & COM pins of each relay are available

via screw terminals.

4. Don’t put beeper too close to ear, as >85dB may

cause permanent damage to your hearing.

Basic Installation Guidelines

Installation plays an important role in achieving

optimum performance, here are some

recommendations that may help.

1. Mount the receiver in a location where it is not

exposed to weather or moisture, and where it is not

surrounded by metal. Metal will block RF signal,

resulting in a perhaps significantly reduced range.

2. For best range, pull the antenna wire as long and

straight as possible. If the receiver receives

interference from local RF activity (e.g. airport or

military base), the antenna wire can be folded. DO

NOT CUT OR LENGTHEN THE ANTENNA WIRE

Remote distance can be further improved by using

our optional external antenna accessories.

⚠ Motors and other electronic devices may
cause radio frequency interference (RFI) and

power line noise that could impair the performance

of a radio controlled device like 402U. For best

results, locate the receiver away from other

electronic devices and connect the receiver to a

clean power source such as standard 9-24V power

supply (AC or DC) or battery pack.

† Motors will likely cause wide spectrum RF

interference regardless of receiver frequency,

consider using brushless motor instead of brushed

ones for improved performance.

⚠ WARNING! Incorrect installation or

improper use of the product can cause damage

to persons, animals or things.

Troubleshooting

When installing 402U wireless receiver, if it is not

working properly here is a basic method to

troubleshoot the products.

1. When transmitter button is actuated, does

the transmitter LED illuminate?

> If yes, proceed to step 2.

> If no, check the battery and make sure battery is

connected to the transmitter properly and battery is

not flat. If the transmitter continues to fail in

showing LED, you may need to repair or replace

the transmitter.

2. Does receiver have power (POWER LED

illuminate)?
Ensure that correct power (see technical specs

above) is supplied to the power terminal of 402U

receiver, and the wiring harness is plugged in

correctly. Refer to POWER label next to terminals

to locate the two power terminals.

⚠ It is important to know that the transmitter

must have been learned to receiver before

proceed to following steps.

3. When transmitter button is actuated, does

relay activate / click?

> If yes, the transmitter and receiver are working

properly, but there is another issue, proceed to step

5.

> If no, the receiver is not seeing a signal from the

transmitter.
4. If receiver is not responding to a signal from

transmitter, there are a few additional things to

consider.

> Materials such as metal, energy efficient (Low E)

glass or other electronic devices may affect the

signal. If possible, hold transmitter near receiver

and activate it. If receiver sees signal then it is

possible that obstructions may be blocking signal

from where the transmitter or receiver is normally

located, or you may be experiencing signal

interference from other RF devices nearby.

> Try activating receiver with a different transmitter.

If receiver sees signal from a different transmitter, it

is possible that the original transmitter has a

problem. If this occurs, contact seller about

repairing or replacing the original transmitter.

> Ensure that receiver antenna is exposed from the

enclosure box as much as possible.

> If receiver is not responding to any compatible

transmitter, regardless of distance, it is possible the

receiver may need repair. Try a different receiver if

possible, contact seller if receiver needs to be

repaired or replaced.

5. Receiver and transmitter are functioning

correctly, but target circuit is not working?

Ensure that the output terminal of receiver is

connected properly to target circuits or devices.
