Transmitter Solutions RECTSHIVE-MINI-433 HIVE Mini Receiver Compatibility and Relay Details
The Transmitter Solutions RECTSHIVE-MINI-433 HIVE Mini is a compact 433.92 MHz rolling-code receiver used with select compatible radio transmitters and low-voltage control applications. The manufacturer currently identifies the public product as RECTSHIVE-MINI and publishes the receiver at 433.92 MHz. The RECTSHIVE-MINI-433 suffix should be verified against the physical product or supplier SKU when exact catalog part-number matching is required.
The HIVE Mini provides one dry-contact relay channel and stores up to 1000 compatible transmitters. Its relay can operate in immediate mode or remain active for a programmed time from 1 to 60 seconds. Transmitter Solutions also lists the receiver as pre-wired for a compact installation.
What This HIVE Mini Receiver Does
The HIVE Mini receives a radio command from a compatible programmed transmitter and activates its normally open dry-contact relay output. The relay can provide a control command to a compatible gate operator, automatic door control, access control panel, or other equipment input designed to accept a dry-contact activation.
This receiver adds a radio control input to compatible equipment. It does not replace the gate or door control board and should not be used to bypass required photo eyes, safety edges, entrapment protection, emergency access, or other safety circuits.
Compatible With
- Select Transmitter Solutions 433 MHz transmitters using the coding technology supported by the receiver configuration.
- Select 433 MHz KEELOQ HCS300-301 applications when the receiver is configured for the documented Sawn Rolling Code selection.
- Select automatic gate operator inputs accepting a normally open dry-contact command.
- Select automatic door and access control inputs accepting a compatible single relay activation.
- Applications providing 12-24 VAC/DC receiver power.
Frequency alone does not confirm transmitter compatibility. A transmitter marked 433 MHz may use a different fixed code, rolling code, manufacturer-specific protocol, or radio format. Confirm the transmitter model and coding system before ordering.
Important 433 MHz Compatibility Warning
The HIVE Mini operates at a published frequency of 433.92 MHz. The official manual identifies a Rolling Code selection for Transmitter Solutions 433 MHz compatibility and a separate Sawn Rolling Code selection for Transmitter Solutions 433 MHz plus KEELOQ HCS300-301 compatibility.
Do not assume every 433 MHz remote will program to this receiver. A matching frequency is only one compatibility requirement. The transmitter coding technology must also be supported by the HIVE Mini receiver configuration.
1000-Transmitter Memory
Transmitter Solutions lists a maximum memory capacity of 1000 transmitters for the HIVE Mini. This makes the receiver suitable for applications that may require a larger radio credential database than a small residential receiver.
The official manual includes an important programming limitation: the HIVE Mini memorizes only one button for each transmitter. If a second button from the same transmitter is programmed to the receiver, the first memorized button is removed.
For applications where one multi-button transmitter must provide several independent commands, verify whether additional receiver channels or a different multi-channel receiver are required.
Momentary and Time Hold Relay Settings
The HIVE Mini has two documented relay operating modes. The manufacturer product page describes these functions as momentary or time hold settings, while the official manual uses the terms immediate and on time.
- Immediate mode - the relay remains active while the compatible transmitter radio command is active and the transmitter button is pressed.
- On time mode - the relay remains active for a programmed period from 1 to 60 seconds after activation.
The receiver is documented as being set to immediate operation by default. The timed relay setting should be selected to match the connected equipment input and the intended access function.
Single-Channel Dry-Contact Relay Output
The HIVE Mini is a one-channel receiver. The official manual shows common and normally open relay contacts and identifies the output as a dry-contact relay.
Manufacturer specifications list a relay contact rating of 1A at 30 VDC or 0.5A at 42.4 VAC. The relay is normally used as a control command and should not be assumed suitable for directly powering a gate motor, operator motor, high-current lock, or other load that exceeds the relay rating.
RECTSHIVE-MINI and RECTSHIVE-MINI-433 Part Number Check
The current Transmitter Solutions product page identifies the receiver as RECTSHIVE-MINI and publishes 433.92 MHz specifications. The supplied Gate Openers Unlimited catalog part number is RECTSHIVE-MINI-433.
The exact -433 suffix was not located as the primary part number on the current public manufacturer page. Because the confirmed published HIVE Mini product is specifically 433.92 MHz, RECTSHIVE-MINI-433 is clearly associated with the documented 433 MHz configuration, but the physical product or supplier label should be checked if exact manufacturer SKU formatting is important.
Similar HIVE Receivers Are Not Automatically Interchangeable
- RECTSHIVE-MINI - current Transmitter Solutions public product-page part number for the documented 433.92 MHz HIVE Mini.
- RECTSHIVE-MINI-433 - supplied catalog SKU for the 433 MHz HIVE Mini receiver.
- RECTSHIVE-MINI-915 - separately supplied 915 MHz catalog reference; not a 433 MHz replacement.
- HIVE receivers with multiple relay channels - different products when separate control commands are required.
Do not substitute receivers based only on the HIVE name or similar housing. Confirm frequency, coding technology, memory requirements, number of channels, relay output, and transmitter family before ordering.
Not Intended For
- Universal use with every 433 MHz transmitter.
- Pairing with 315 MHz, 390 MHz, 418 MHz, 915 MHz, or other frequency transmitters.
- Providing multiple independent relay outputs from one HIVE Mini receiver.
- Directly switching motors or loads exceeding the published relay contact rating.
- Replacing a proprietary receiver built into an operator unless the new dry-contact receiver interface is supported.
- Bypassing photo eyes, safety edges, monitored entrapment protection, emergency access, or operator safety circuits.

Related Parts and Service Checks
If an existing HIVE Mini receiver will not respond to a transmitter, check the transmitter battery, transmitter frequency, receiver power, receiver code-type selection, antenna position, and programming status before replacing the receiver.
Poor radio range can also be caused by a metal operator enclosure, antenna position, electrical noise, radio interference, or transmitter condition. The manufacturer specifically notes that range is influenced by transmitter type, antenna, and radio interference.
Technician Note
The main ordering mistake with the HIVE Mini is matching frequency but ignoring code type. A remote labeled 433 MHz is not automatically compatible. Confirm that the transmitter uses the Transmitter Solutions rolling-code format or the supported KEELOQ HCS300-301 format documented for the applicable receiver selection.
Also remember that this is a one-channel receiver and it stores only one button from each transmitter. Programming another button from the same transmitter removes the first memorized button from this receiver.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the existing receiver or replacement SKU is the 433 MHz HIVE Mini configuration.
- Verify the exact receiver frequency is 433.92 MHz.
- Identify the transmitter model and coding technology.
- Confirm the application requires one relay channel.
- Verify 12-24 VAC/DC power is available.
- Confirm the connected equipment accepts a normally open dry-contact command.
- Determine whether immediate or 1 to 60 second timed relay operation is required.
- Verify the pre-wired lead arrangement and package contents if matching an existing installation.
Installation and Service Notes
The official manual shows a 12V or 24V power selection jumper. Select the receiver power configuration according to the available supply and current manufacturer instructions before applying power. Connect the dry-contact relay only to a compatible control input and stay within the published relay contact rating.
For large transmitter databases, plan receiver replacement carefully. Replacing a receiver or changing the radio system may require programming compatible transmitters into the replacement receiver. Verify access-control procedures before erasing or changing an existing credential database.
Professional Advisory
Use the HIVE Mini relay with compatible gate, automatic door, and access control inputs. Do not connect the receiver to bypass safety devices or monitored safety circuits. If the operator input, receiver power, relay loading, or control wiring is unclear, have the installation checked by a qualified gate, garage, automatic door, low-voltage, or access control technician.
