WS4979  12 Channel Wireless Key 

 
Congratulations on the purchase of the WS4979, the industries first 12 channel 
remote control. This key will allow you to arm and disarm as well as control keypad 
functions, open and close garage doors and security gates or virtually any remote 
function you can think of. This is the perfect remote to add to DSC’s new garage relay 
module with integrated laser parking (PC-5650) to control anything that can be turned 
ON or OFF. 
 

Section 1. How to Enroll the WS4979 

To enroll channels 1-4, use the 6 digit serial number printed on the back of the 
WS4979. To enroll channels 5-8 add ‘1’ to the serial number and for channels 9-12 
add ‘2’ to the serial number. For example if the serial number printed in the back of the 
remote is 612345. 
 
612345  Channel 1-4 (Buttons 1-4 on the front) 
612346    Channel 5-8 (Level shift to GREEN LED and use  
                buttons 1-4 on the front) 
612347    Channel 9-12 (Level shift to AMBER LED and       
                use buttons 1-4 on the front) 
 
* If you are using the WS4979 with a DSC relay module (PC-5650) to interface with 
garage doors,  security gates or lighting controls, you do not need to enroll the serial 
number since it is a code learning system. Refer to the PC-5650 manual 
 

Section 2.  Operation of the WS4979 

The small center button on the WS4979 is used as a level shift to move from channels 
1-4 to 5-8 and 9-12.  

1)  Press and hold the center button of the WS4979 
2)  Watch as the LED on the WS4979 changes from green to amber and back 

to red. The RED LED indicates channels 1-4, the GREEN LED indicates 
channels 5-8 and the AMBER indicates channels 9-12*.  

3)  When you see the appropriate color LED release the center button. The 

LED will pulsate that color to indicate that you are in the appropriate 
channels. Press one of the four buttons and the LED will stop flashing and 
will default back to channels 1-4. 

* NOTE: The WS4979 always defaults to channels 1-4 so it is NOT necessary to hold 
the center button to access channels 1-4. If you are in Channels 5-8 or 9-12 the unit 
will ‘time out’ after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed. 
 

Compatibility: 

The WS4979 is compatible with the following receivers: PC5650, PC4164-433, 
PC5132-433, RF5108-433, RF5501-433, NT9005 and NT9010. 
 
ADD the replacing batteries section, belt clip assembly and mounting and warranty 
section of the WS4939 which I have attached as PDF’s. 
 

Section 3: Additional Notes 

The WS4979 Wireless Key requires TWO CR2025 lithium batteries. 

Replacing batteries 

1) Open the case by inserting a coin or a flat head screw driver at the base and 
carefully twist 
the screwdriver to separate the top and bottom plastic. 
2) Using a #1 Phillips screw driver, remove the screw that holds the circuit board to 
the back of 
the case. The screw is in the center of the circuit board. 
3) Insert a small flat head screwdriver at the base of the board and carefully lift it up. 
4) Note the polarity of the battery as etched into the bottom side of the case. Improper 
handling 
of lithium batteries may result in heat generation, explosion or fire, which may lead to 
personal injuries. 

WARNING: 

Danger of explosion if batteries are installed incorrectly, Replace ONLY 

with Panasonic or Toshiba CR2025 Batteries. Keep away from small children. If 
batteries are swallowed, promptly see a doctor. Do not try to recharge batteries. 
Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with waste recovery and 
recycling regulations in your area.
