Transmitter Solutions RECTSMINI4OUT 433 MHz 4-Channel Exterior Receiver Compatibility Details
The Transmitter Solutions RECTSMINI4OUT is the 4-channel configuration associated with the current HIVE Mini Outdoor receiver family published by Transmitter Solutions under the RECTSMINI*OUT family part reference. The manufacturer currently lists the exterior receiver family as available in 2-channel and 4-channel versions. The linked 4-relay manufacturer manual identifies the documented receiver hardware as SEL2641R433-Z4.
This receiver operates at 433.92 MHz and provides four relay output channels for compatible control applications. It uses KeeLoq Hopping Code rolling-code security, stores up to 85 user codes or transmitters, operates from 12 or 24 VAC/DC power, and uses an IP65 exterior housing.
What the RECTSMINI4OUT Receiver Does
The documented 4-relay Mini Outdoor receiver accepts compatible 433.92 MHz rolling-code transmitter commands and operates four control relay channels. Transmitter Solutions describes the receiver for automatic closing and anti-burglar systems and documents connection to multiple types of controlled equipment.
The receiver provides radio control outputs only. It does not replace the gate operator, garage door opener, or access system safety logic. Required photo eyes, monitored safety edges, entrapment protection, reversal systems, emergency access, and other safety circuits must remain operational.
All Verified Receiver Applications
- Automatic gate control.
- Garage door control.
- Automatic closing systems.
- Rolling shutter control.
- Awning control.
- Anti-burglar and security appliance control.
- Lighting control applications.
The connected equipment must accept the receiver relay output and remain within the appropriate control interface requirements. Do not directly switch an unknown mains-voltage, motor, lighting, HVAC, or other high-current load through the receiver based only on the published receiver relay specifications.
All Verified Compatible Transmitter References
The official 4-relay SEL2641R433-Z4 receiver manual specifically lists the following usable transmitter references:
- S2TR2641E2.
- S2TR2641E2M.
- S2TR2641E4.
- SETR2641AM2.
- SETR2641-TM.
These are the exact transmitter identifiers published in the 4-relay manufacturer manual. The manual is legacy documentation and does not provide a current retail cross-reference from every legacy identifier to the latest Transmitter Solutions catalog SKU.
Do not select a transmitter only because it is marked 433 MHz. The receiver uses a documented 433.92 MHz rolling-code system, and frequency alone does not prove compatibility with DIP-switch, fixed-code, or another rolling-code transmitter family.
433.92 MHz KeeLoq Hopping Code Operation
The documented receiver is a 433.92 MHz superheterodyne design using KeeLoq Hopping Code security. The transmitted code changes with each activation, and the receiver uses a synchronization algorithm with the compatible transmitter system.
Transmitter Solutions sells other 433 MHz receiver families using different programming and coding systems. Confirm the exact transmitter part number and receiver family before adding or replacing remotes.
Four Receiver Channels and Relay Outputs
The 4-relay manual identifies four board relays labeled K1, K2, K3, and K4 and four channel positions labeled ch1, ch2, ch3, and ch4.
- Relay 1 - Common and Normally Open terminals.
- Relay 2 - Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed terminals according to the terminal table.
- Relay 3 - Common and Normally Open terminals.
- Relay 4 - Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed terminals according to the terminal table.
Confirm the terminal numbers and relay function before transferring wiring from another receiver. A 2-channel receiver or a receiver with a different NO and NC contact arrangement is not automatically interchangeable.
Manufacturer Relay Contact Documentation Conflict
The official 4-relay manual does not describe the relay contacts consistently. The introduction states that the receiver has three NO relays and one NO/NC relay. However, the terminal connection table identifies NC terminals for both Relay 2 and Relay 4, which indicates two NO-only relays and two relays with NO/NC capability.
The current Mini Outdoor product page lists the family contacts generally as NO and NO/NC but does not resolve the 4-relay manual conflict. When two independent Normally Closed outputs are required, verify the physical RECTSMINI4OUT terminal block and hardware revision before ordering or wiring the receiver.
K4 Pulse and Step Mode Configuration
The 4-relay manufacturer manual specifically documents configurable operation for Relay K4 using jumper JP1:
- JP1 open - K4 pulse mode.
- JP1 closed - K4 step mode.
The current Mini Outdoor family page generally lists momentary or latching relay options. The 4-relay manual specifically documents the jumper-selectable step or pulse function for K4 and does not show the same JP1 configuration for K1, K2, or K3.
Do not assume all four receiver channels have independently selectable latching operation. Confirm the required output behavior before replacing another multi-channel receiver.
85-User Receiver Memory
The current Transmitter Solutions Mini Outdoor receiver page lists push-to-learn programming for up to 85 remotes and specifies 85 user-code memory. The 4-relay manufacturer manual states that full memory is reached when 85 transmitters are already stored.
The manual documents single transmitter erasure and complete memory erasure. Complete erasure removes the receiver memory and should not be performed unless the site's transmitter inventory and reprogramming plan are understood.
Four-Channel Programming Documentation Note
The receiver board layout clearly identifies ch1, ch2, ch3, and ch4. The official 4-relay manual also lists a compatible four-function transmitter reference, S2TR2641E4.
However, the programming text in the linked manual explicitly describes sequential memorization of transmitter buttons A and B and does not provide a detailed separate written programming example for buttons C and D. When all four channels must be assigned to a multi-button transmitter, use the instructions applicable to the physical receiver revision and confirm the channel programming sequence before commissioning the system.
12 or 24 VAC/DC Power Requirements
The receiver operates from 12 or 24 VAC/DC power. The documented terminal layout provides separate connections for supply common, 12 VAC/DC input, and 24 VAC/DC input.
The manufacturer specifications list 15 mA steady consumption at 12 VDC and 49 mA with two relays excited. At 24 VDC, the manual lists 19 mA steady consumption and 55 mA with two relays excited.
Verify the available control voltage and use the correct receiver supply terminal. For damaged transformers, unknown voltage, unsafe wiring, battery charging faults, or internal operator electrical problems, have a qualified gate, garage, low-voltage, access control, or electrical technician inspect the system.
IP65 Exterior Housing
The 4-relay receiver manual and current Mini Outdoor family page specify IP65 housing protection. Transmitter Solutions identifies the housing for external installation.
Mount the receiver correctly and maintain the enclosure cover, cable entries, plugs, and mounting points. Exterior rated does not mean the receiver should be installed in standing water, a flood-prone enclosure, or with damaged or unsealed cable openings.
Antenna and Receiver Range
The current Mini Outdoor family page lists a whip antenna as included and a coax antenna as optional. The 4-relay manual provides separate pole antenna and antenna ground terminals.
The current family page publishes a receiver range of up to 1200 feet. Actual range can vary with transmitter type, antenna placement, metal structures, radio interference, large magnetic fields, and receiver location.
When replacing a receiver because of short remote range, inspect the transmitter, antenna, receiver mounting location, nearby metal, and possible interference before assuming the receiver electronics have failed.
Similar HIVE Receivers Are Not Automatically Interchangeable
- 2-channel RECTSMINI*OUT configuration: The same exterior receiver family is available with two channels. It does not provide the four relay outputs documented for the 4-relay receiver.
- RECTS433-LC: This is the separately listed low-consumption Mini Outdoor configuration for solar applications. Do not assume a standard RECTSMINI4OUT has the same standby current as the LC receiver.
- RECTSNANO433: This is a compact 1-channel, 85-user Nano receiver with an IP2X housing. It is not a four-channel exterior replacement.
- HIVE433DIP: This is a separate 433 MHz DIP-switch receiver family. Matching nominal frequency does not make its transmitters compatible with the Mini Outdoor rolling-code receiver.
- Interior multi-channel receivers: An interior receiver should not be substituted when an IP65 exterior housing is required.

Package Contents
The current Mini Outdoor family page states that a whip antenna is included. The 4-relay manual identifies the receiver composition as the electronics box, cover, mounting hardware, protective rubber caps or plugs, and antenna-related hardware.
A handheld transmitter, coax antenna, separate power supply, or external control equipment is not identified as standard included equipment. The current family page lists the coax antenna as optional.
Technician Note
The biggest issue on RECTSMINI4OUT is the relay contact conflict in the manufacturer's own 4-relay manual. The introduction says three NO relays and one NO/NC relay, but the terminal table shows NC terminals on Relay 2 and Relay 4. If the job requires two Normally Closed outputs, check the actual terminal block before ordering or wiring. Also do not replace this four-channel receiver with the 2-channel or RECTS433-LC version just because the exterior housing looks similar.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm exact catalog SKU RECTSMINI4OUT.
- Verify the physical receiver label and hardware revision.
- Confirm 433.92 MHz operation.
- Identify the exact existing transmitter part number.
- Confirm the transmitter uses the compatible rolling-code system.
- Verify whether the transmitter matches S2TR2641E2, S2TR2641E2M, S2TR2641E4, SETR2641AM2, SETR2641-TM, or an officially confirmed current replacement.
- Confirm that four receiver channels are required.
- Verify the relay contact requirement for every output.
- Check the physical terminal block when NC contacts are required on Relay 2 or Relay 4.
- Confirm whether K4 pulse or step operation is needed.
- Verify that 85-user memory meets the site requirement.
- Confirm 12 or 24 VAC/DC receiver power.
- Check the IP65 enclosure, cover, cable entries, and mounting location.
- Confirm whether the included whip antenna or optional coax antenna arrangement is required.
- Confirm package contents and separately required transmitters.
Installation and Service Notes
The receiver uses the P1 programming button and channel indicator LEDs for transmitter memorization. The manufacturer manual documents sequential transmitter button learning and also provides individual transmitter deletion and complete receiver memory erasure procedures.
Complete memory erasure removes all stored transmitters. Do not erase the full receiver memory when existing users must remain active unless the complete transmitter list and reprogramming plan are available.
Do not transfer wiring by terminal position from a different receiver family. Verify relay Common, NO, NC, power Common, 12 VAC/DC, 24 VAC/DC, antenna pole, and antenna ground functions against the exact receiver terminal markings.
Do not bypass photo eyes, monitored safety edges, entrapment protection, emergency access, fire access, garage door safety sensors, reversal systems, wall-control safety functions, or operator safety circuits while installing or testing this receiver.
Professional Advisory
If the existing transmitter coding system, four-channel programming, relay contact arrangement, control voltage, or receiver wiring cannot be positively identified, have a qualified gate, garage, low-voltage, or access control technician inspect the system. Unknown mains-voltage or high-current loads should be reviewed by a qualified electrical technician rather than switched directly through the receiver.
Product Questions and Answers
Is RECTSMINI4OUT the 4-channel version of the HIVE Mini Outdoor receiver?
The current Transmitter Solutions RECTSMINI*OUT family page lists the Mini Outdoor receiver in 2-channel and 4-channel configurations. The official 4-relay manual identifies the documented receiver hardware as SEL2641R433-Z4. Confirm the physical receiver label for exact replacement work.
Which transmitters are specifically documented for the RECTSMINI4OUT 4-relay receiver hardware?
The official 4-relay manufacturer manual lists S2TR2641E2, S2TR2641E2M, S2TR2641E4, SETR2641AM2, and SETR2641-TM. The manual uses legacy transmitter identifiers, so confirm any current retail replacement part number before ordering.
Can any 433 MHz transmitter be programmed to RECTSMINI4OUT?
No. The documented receiver operates at 433.92 MHz and uses KeeLoq Hopping Code rolling-code security. Matching frequency alone does not prove compatibility with a DIP-switch, fixed-code, or different rolling-code transmitter family.
Do all four RECTSMINI4OUT relays have the same NO and NC contacts?
No. The manufacturer documentation is also internally inconsistent on this point. The introduction says three NO relays and one NO/NC relay, while the terminal table shows C-NO on Relays 1 and 3 and C-NO-NC on Relays 2 and 4. Verify the physical terminal block when Normally Closed outputs are required.
Can every RECTSMINI4OUT channel be set for latching operation?
The official 4-relay manual specifically documents JP1 pulse or step mode configuration for Relay K4. It does not show the same jumper-selectable latching function for K1, K2, or K3. Do not assume all four outputs have identical latching options.
How many remotes can the RECTSMINI4OUT receiver store?
The current HIVE Mini Outdoor page lists push-to-learn programming for up to 85 remotes and 85 user-code memory. The 4-relay manual identifies full memory when 85 transmitters are already stored.
Is RECTSMINI4OUT suitable for exterior gate installations?
The documented Mini Outdoor receiver has an IP65 housing and is identified for external installation. Mount the enclosure correctly and maintain the cover, cable entries, plugs, and mounting points so the installation does not defeat the enclosure protection.
Is the coax antenna included with RECTSMINI4OUT?
The current Transmitter Solutions Mini Outdoor family page lists a whip antenna as included and a coax antenna as optional. A handheld transmitter and separate power supply are not identified as included standard equipment.
