Pulsar 8833CT 318 MHz 3-Button 9-Channel Gate and Garage Remote Transmitter
Product Overview
The Pulsar 8833CT is a multi-channel handheld transmitter for 318 MHz DIP-switch radio systems used on compatible gates and garage door operators. It has three operating buttons and an ABC selector, allowing up to nine channel combinations when the receiver system and programming are set up for that use. Unlike the OCS-labeled remotes, this transmitter may be used in applications where the three buttons and selector are assigned to different doors, gates, or commands depending on the receiver wiring. It is commonly associated with older Pulsar, Allstar, Allister, and Heddolf transmitter families. Because the 8833CT model number is close to 8833T-OCS and 8833TC-OCS, customers should compare the old remote label, selector switch layout, and receiver setup carefully. The correct replacement is based on the radio format and the way the buttons are used at the site.

Technician Note
This is the 9-channel style transmitter. It is commonly confused with the 8833T-OCS one-door Open/Close/Stop remote and the 8833TC-OCS three-door Open/Close/Stop remote.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Check whether the old remote has an ABC selector.
- Confirm the system operates at 318 MHz.
- Match the trinary DIP switches to the receiver.
- Verify whether the site needs 9-channel selection or true Open/Close/Stop control.
- Confirm the installed receiver is compatible with Pulsar/Allstar style transmitters.
Professional Advisory
Programming a commercial radio system should be done with the door or gate in view and clear of traffic. Do not use a remote or receiver setup to bypass required photo eyes, monitored entrapment protection, reversing devices, or other safety controls.
Product Questions and Answers
How many channels does the 8833CT support?
The 8833CT is commonly used as a 9-channel transmitter with an ABC selector and three button positions.
Is 8833CT the same as 8833T-OCS?
No. The 8833T-OCS is a one-door Open/Close/Stop transmitter. The 8833CT is a multi-channel transmitter with a different selector/button use.
What receiver families are commonly associated with this remote?
It is commonly used with compatible 318 MHz Pulsar, Allstar, Allister, Heddolf, ADX, and PDX style receiver systems.
Does this remote use DIP switches?
Yes. It uses older trinary DIP-switch coding that must be matched to the receiver.
Can the 8833CT work with Open/Close/Stop systems?
It may be used in some compatible systems depending on receiver wiring and programming, but it should not be assumed to replace an OCS-specific transmitter without checking the old remote and receiver layout.
