The REC-43 is a “stand-alone” universal receiver unit for 12 Volt applications.  It has 4 outputs, which can be assigned to any of the transmitter’s 

buttons.  When the REC-43 receives a signal from the included transmitter, it activates the pre-assigned output. When activated the outputs supply 

500mA (-) negative ground (500 milliamps = 0.5amp of ground).  Each of the outputs may be configured as:

a)  “TIMED PULSE” 

=  When  the  output  is  activated,  it  will  last  for  a  preset  period  of  time,  from  @  1/5  of  a  second  to  @  30  seconds.  

b)  “ON DEMAND” 

=  When the output is activated, it will last for as long as the transmitter’s button is pressed.

c)  “LATCH / UNLATCH”  =  When the output is activated, it will remain activated until an additional signal is received from the transmitter.

Red wire:

 (+) 12 Volts Input, on the 4-pin plug supplies power to operate the REC-43.  

Black wire:

 Negative Ground, must be connected to the negative side of the power source like a vehicle’s chassis.

The Outputs: 

are numbered as #1, #2, #3, and #4 in reference to their sequence within the transmitter programming procedure (see “Program-

ming Transmitters” and “Configuring Outputs”).  Specific connection of these wires is contingent upon the application.  When the REC-43 is used 

to operate other controlling devices (remote engine starter, for example), connection is typically wire-to-wire directly to the device’s activation 

wire.  The other most common interface method is connecting the output wire to activate a relay to control the vehicle’s circuit (an example would 

be locking or unlocking the doors). All 4 outputs have a 500mA capacity that should not be exceeded.

Note:

 The center pin on the 3-pin plug is (+) 12 Volts Output (500mA). It provides power to relay coils only of an optional door lock/unlock in-

terface.

Red wire = (+) 12 Volts Input

Black wire = (-) Chassis Ground Input

Blue wire = Output #3 (TRUNK)

Green wire = Output #4 (CH 3)

Green wire = Output #1 (LOCK)

center pin = (+) 12 Volts Output

Blue wire = Output #2 (UNLOCK)
