Small remote control duplicator, only 41x31x11mm, that is able to copy up to 4 different remote controls which transmit a fixed code in one of the supported frequencies, listed in the Tab.1.
Please check the English page to see the most updated version!
The frequency, transmission power and other parameters, can be simply programmed using the Prog button (that can be pushed without opening the housing).
It's possible to set the transmission power to a low value, to minimize the interference and collisions, or high value to get a very long range.
It can be used to open a gate, garage doors or traffic barrier; moreover, it can be connected to a domotic controller or a switch to transmit a code when it's supplied, to realize for example a wireless doorbell.
The two "Supply" wires can be connected, through a switch, to an external power supply: a wide range of voltage, 8÷35Vdc and 9÷24Vac, is supported. When the switch is pressed/closed, the device is supplied and starts to transmit the code that was previously programmed/learned.
Working modes
Mode 1 (basic mode): when the device is supplied, it starts transmitting the channel 1 code. This mode is suitable when device is connected to a button or a relay output so, when active, we want that CreasolSender transmits a code to activate a receiver on the other side. Only 1 channel is available in this mode
Mode 2 (button mode): in this case the device is connected to the power supply unit by a button, with the ability to transmit up to 4 different codes (4 channels).
Pushing the button for a long time it transmits channel 1.
1 short + 1 long pulse to transmit channel 2.
2 short + 1 long pulse to transmit channel 3.
3 short + 1 long pulse to transmit channel 4.
Mode 3 (car mode): this working mode is suitable when the CreasolSender is used in a vehicle, connected to the high beam or brake light (normally, the device is placed in the fuse box of the vehicle).
1 short + 1 long pulse to transmit channel 1.
2 short + 1 long pulse to transmit channel 1.
3 short + 1 long pulse to transmit channel 1.
4 short + 1 long pulse to transmit channel 1.

Application notes
Using Creasol-Sender in a vehicle (car, van, bike, ...) to open gates, garage doors and traffic barriers by high-beam light flashing
In this application, Creasol-Sender is supplied by the high-beam lever of the vehicle to command up to 4 automations (garage doors, gates, barriers, ...):
- 1 short flash + long flash => transmits channel 1 (to open, for example, the home gate)
- 2 short flashes + long flash => transmits channel 2 (to open, for example, home garage door)
- 3 short flashes + long flash => transmits channel 3 (to open, for example, traffic barrier at work)
- 4 short flashes + long flash => transmits channel 4 (to open, for example, holiday house gate)
This is a very easy and safe solution to open automations from your car, truck or motorcycle, without getting distracted searching the remote control. Please note that Creasol-Sender is able to copy only fixed code remote control: if your automation uses a rolling code remote controls, you have to add a universal receiver, like Creasol UniRec1 or UniRec2, to that automation.
Installation
Installation must be done by a qualified technician.
First, check that the remote control to copy is compatible with Creasol_Sender:
- Connect Supply wires to any 12 or 24V power supply or battery.
- Set parameter 9 to 3 to set "car mode": push PROG button 9 times, wait for led flashing, then push PROG button 3 times
- Set frequency for channel 1: push PROG button 1 (selecting channel 1: led goes solid green), then push PROG button 5 times (frequency parameter: led will start flashing a number of times corresponding to the current frequency), then push PROG button a number of times corresponding to the needed frequency (2 for 433.92MHz, 3 for 868.3 MHz).
- Now copy the existing remote control: push PROG button 1 time (to select channel 1), then push PROG button 2 times (to start receiving the code from the original remote control): led starts flashing slowly. Within 10 seconds push the button on the original remote control: green led will emit 2 flashes (code has been copied) or 4 flashes (rolling code: in this case most probably Creasol-Sender will not work).
- To test the programmed channel, remove power supply for few seconds, then connect power supply for less than half second, remove for less than half second, then connect power supply again for few seconds: the red led flashes while transmitting, so it's possible to verify that the automation (gate, garage door, ...) is activated by Creasol-Sender.
- If the transmission time is too short, increase parameter: push PROG button 1 time (to select channel 1), then push PROG 6 times (parameter 6: led will flash N times indicating the current value), then push PROG button 7 or 8 times to increase the transmission time.
If other channels should be programmed, repeat steps 3-6 selecting the right channel: 2, 3 or 4 instead 1.
If CreasolSender is compatible with your automation (was able to activate the automation, at step 5),
- Cut the antenna wire to 17cm for 433 MHz, or 8cm for 868 MHz.
- Check the vehicle manual to find the fuse box with the high-beam light fuse or relay. Place the device into the fuse box (or in another appropriate protected enclosure), and connect one Supply wire to the highbeam fuse or relay coil, or connect the other Supply wire to the ground (vehicle chassis). Supply voltage should be in the range 6-35V. Assure that power supply to CreasolSender is not applied when highbeam are OFF.
Take care about connection: use a fuse tap device, or alternatively remove the fuse or relay, place the bare wire in the fuse/relay holder, and plug the fuse/relay again, making connection carefully!! This operation must be done by a technician!
Now it's possible to test the device. Take a small high-beam flash followed by a long flash to transmit channel 1: the last flash must be at least 1 second long, to supply Creasol-Sender enough to transmit the code and let the automation (gate, barrier, ...) decoding the transmitted data.
To transmit the code associated to channel 2, take 2 short flashes followed to a long flash. Similarly for channels 3 and 4.
Door bell connected to a domotic controller
The following picture shows how to connect Sender in basic mode (Mode 1) so, when it's supplied by a button, it immediately starts transmitting a code to activate a remote device (a domotic controller with integrated receiver, for example, or another device with additional receiver).
Installation
- Connect Supply wires to any 12 or 24V power supply or battery.
- Set parameter 9 to 1 to set "basic mode": push PROG button 9 times, wait for led flashing, then push PROG button 1 time
- Set frequency for channel 1: push PROG button 1 (selecting channel 1: led goes solid green), then push PROG button 5 times (frequency parameter: led will start flashing a number of times corresponding to the current frequency), then push PROG button a number of times corresponding to the needed frequency (2 for 433.92MHz, 3 for 868.3 MHz).
- Now copy the existing remote control: push PROG button 1 time (to select channel 1), then push PROG button 2 times (to start receiving the code from the original remote control): led starts flashing slowly. Within 10 seconds push the button on the original remote control: green led will emit 2 flashes (code has been copied) or 4 flashes (rolling code: in this case most probably Creasol-Sender will not work).
- To test the programmed channel, remove power supply for few seconds, then connect power supply again: the red led flashes while transmitting, so it's possible to verify that the automation (gate, garage door, ...) is activated by Creasol-Sender.
- If the transmission time is too short, increase parameter: push PROG button 1 time (to select channel 1), then push PROG 6 times (parameter 6: led will flash N times indicating the current value), then push PROG button 6÷8 times to increase the transmission time.
Note: in basic mode, only 1 channel is supported.
If CreasolSender is compatible with your automation (was able to activate the automation, at step 5),
- Cut the antenna wire to 17cm for 433 MHz, or 8cm for 868 MHz.
- Connect the Supply wires of CreasolSender as indicated in the schematic above
