How to choose a remote control

Remote controls from different manufacturers are not compatible with each other – each manufacturer uses its own signal coding and the remotes also differ in frequency. Before choosing, you need to know four things:

• Manufacturer of the operator or receiver – Came, Nice, Hörmann or another brand. You will find it on the operator's rating plate or in the manual.
• Frequency – the most common is 433.92 MHz, Hörmann BiSecur remotes work on 868.35 MHz, older operators also on 26.975 or 40 MHz.
• Coding – fixed code or rolling code. A fixed-code remote does not work with a rolling-code receiver and vice versa.
• Number of channels – one channel controls one device. A 4-channel remote can open, for example, the gate, the garage and the side gate, with one channel left free.

Overview of the remote controls we offer

Fixed or rolling code

A fixed-code remote sends the same signal every time it is pressed, so it can easily be copied. A rolling code changes with every press, which makes the control more secure. The Hörmann BiSecur system uses 128-bit encryption and the HSS 4 BS remote also has copy protection – it passes its code on to other remotes, but nobody can copy the code from it. The type of code is stated in the name of each remote.

Programming a remote control

A new remote always has to be programmed. With Nice and Hörmann the remote's code is stored in the receiver in the operator; with Came TOP remotes the code is usually copied from a remote that already works. The procedure is described in the manual, which you will find with each remote. If the operator has no receiver for the required type of remote, an external receiver from the Receivers category can be added.

Universal and replacement remotes

The Rollkit universal remote copies both fixed and rolling codes of several brands, for example Came, Nice and KEY, from a working original remote. Proxima car remotes are designed for a specific coding – Came Top/Tam, Nice Flo and FloR, Hörmann EcoStar and ProLift 433 MHz or the older Hörmann 868 MHz fixed code; they do not work with BiSecur remotes. For older remotes we also offer replacement cases and holders.

Control by mobile phone

The gate can also be controlled by phone. In the Smartphone control category you will find Came KEY, Nice IT4WIFI and BIDI-WIFI modules, the Hörmann homee Brain hub for BiSecur operators and Shelly and Meross universal Wi-Fi switches.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out which remote control I need?

The most reliable way is the marking on the back of the original remote or the rating plate of the operator or receiver. If you are not sure, send us a photo of the original remote and we will help you choose.

Does a Came remote work with a Nice or Hörmann operator?

No, remotes from different manufacturers are not compatible. The solution is an external receiver for the required remote, which can be connected to an operator from any manufacturer, for example the Came TOP kit with an RE432M receiver and two remotes.

Can I program the remote myself?

Yes, with most remotes the procedure from the manual and a working original remote or access to the receiver in the operator are enough. With some operators you need to press a button on the control unit.

Which battery does the remote use?

Most current remotes use a 3 V CR2032 lithium battery, Hörmann HS and HSS remotes an AAA battery, older remotes a 12 V 23A battery. The battery type is stated with each remote.

What is the range of a remote control?

The range depends on the remote, the receiver and the surroundings. Manufacturers usually state 50 to 200 m outdoors and approximately 35 m inside a building; Nice Era One LR reaches up to 1 km in open space. An external aerial improves weak reception.

Do you deliver remote controls to the Czech Republic?

Yes, we deliver remote controls by courier throughout Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
