Transmitter Solutions RECTSMULFRE4 HIVE Receiver Frequency and Wiegand Compatibility Details
The Transmitter Solutions RECTSMULFRE4 is a catalog SKU associated with the RECTSMULFRE HIVE multi-frequency Wiegand receiver family. The HIVE receiver processor is designed around plug-in radio frequency cards so an existing supported transmitter system can be retained while another supported frequency is introduced.
Current Transmitter Solutions documentation identifies the manufacturer receiver family as RECTSMULFRE*. Exact public documentation for the RECTSMULFRE4 suffix could not be fully confirmed. Do not assume the "4" suffix means four RF modules are included or that the receiver operates on four frequencies simultaneously. Verify the physical product label and package configuration before ordering.
What the RECTSMULFRE Receiver Does
The HIVE receiver processor receives transmitter data through installed radio frequency cards and provides the processed data to a connected system through Wiegand and/or a 3-wire RF bus connection.
The receiver has two RF card connectors. Supported frequencies across the documented receiver family include 295 MHz, 318 MHz, 418 MHz, and 433 MHz. Two supported RF frequency cards can be accommodated at one time.
This is a Wiegand and RF bus receiver platform. The RECTSMULFRE documentation does not identify standalone Normally Open and Normally Closed dry-contact gate relays on this receiver. A connected access control system or compatible downstream equipment must handle the required access output.
All Verified RECTSMULFRE Frequency Options
- 295 MHz receiver configuration
- 318 MHz receiver configuration
- 418 MHz receiver configuration
- 433 MHz receiver family support and migration application documented in current product information and the HIVE cut sheet
The four frequencies above are documented options across the receiver family. The processor has two RF card slots and should not be described as receiving all four frequencies at the same time.
Verified Legacy Manual Protocol Applications
- 295 MHz - documented with Sentex protocol
- 318 MHz - documented with DoorKing protocol
- 418 MHz - documented as a supported plug-in receiving card frequency
The older HIVE manual contains incomplete wording after the 418 MHz reference and does not clearly define the 433 MHz protocol in the same sentence. Current manufacturer product information and the HIVE cut sheet separately document 433 MHz as a receiver frequency option. Verify the RF module and transmitter protocol rather than matching a remote by frequency alone.
Verified RF Card Connector Positions
- C1 - documented for 318 MHz and 418 MHz RF cards
- C2 - documented for 295 MHz, 318 MHz, and 418 MHz RF cards
- 418 MHz receiving card - specifically documented for either C1 or C2
The 2016 receiver manual does not list 433 MHz in the C1 or C2 connector legend. Current Transmitter Solutions information references migration to 433 MHz, creating a model-generation documentation difference. Verify the physical processor board and 433 MHz RF module instructions before adding a 433 MHz card to an older receiver.
Verified Wiegand Output Compatibility
The RECTSMULFRE receiver processor provides Wiegand DATA1 and DATA0 outputs. The manufacturer manual documents selectable 26-bit or 30-bit Wiegand output through the processor board DIP switch configuration.
- DIP2 ON - 30-bit Wiegand output
- DIP2 OFF - 26-bit Wiegand output
- DIP1 - controls the documented state of bits 26, 27, 28, and 29
- DIP3 - connects or disconnects the internal 4.7 Kohm pull-up resistor
Changing the receiver output setting does not change the radio protocol or transmitter credential data. The connected access control panel must accept the selected Wiegand format and the credential information being received.
3-Wire RF Bus Support
The receiver processor also documents a 3-wire RF bus connection with RF bus power input, data output, and RF bus ground terminals. The processor can be powered through the documented Wiegand port or RF port arrangement.
Do not assume the RF bus is a dry-contact gate command. Verify the connected access control equipment and receiver wiring before replacing an existing receiver.
Manufacturer-Documented Monarch and Stingray Accessory Families
The HIVE dual-band receiver cut sheet lists the following transmitter accessory families:
- Monarch 295 MHz transmitters
- Monarch 318 MHz transmitters
- Monarch 433 MHz transmitters
- Stingray 295 MHz transmitters
- Stingray 318 MHz transmitters
- Stingray 433 MHz transmitters
The cut sheet identifies these transmitter families as receiver accessories and includes a 26-bit device compatibility note. The public RECTSMULFRE documentation does not provide an exact model-by-model transmitter SKU matrix for every frequency card and hardware revision. Match the installed RF module, frequency, protocol, facility code, and transmitter family before ordering remotes.
Facility Code Checking and Transmitter Memory
The applicable HIVE manual states that facility code checking is enabled when the receiver is shipped. The processor can be configured to accept any facility code while retaining the key code check.
The receiver manual also documents push-button transmitter memory programming through P1 and DL2. Public manufacturer documentation reviewed for the RECTSMULFRE family does not publish a numeric transmitter memory capacity. Do not advertise a specific remote capacity for RECTSMULFRE4 without additional manufacturer confirmation.
Important RECTSMULFRE4 Package Warning
Current public Transmitter Solutions documentation lists the receiver family as RECTSMULFRE*. The exact RECTSMULFRE4 suffix is not separately defined on the current manufacturer receiver page, manual, or cut sheet.
Do not assume that RECTSMULFRE4 includes four RF frequency modules, four antennas, or a complete set of 295 MHz, 318 MHz, 418 MHz, and 433 MHz cards. Confirm the exact package contents and installed RF modules before ordering when a specific frequency combination is required.
Similar HIVE Receivers Are Not Automatically Interchangeable
RECTSMULFRE family receivers should not automatically be replaced with another HIVE product based only on the HIVE name.
- HIVE-1000 is a separate 318 MHz and 433 MHz receiver with Bluetooth app management, two NO/NC relays, and separate 512-transmitter memory capacity for each frequency.
- RECTSWEI295/318/433 is a separate Wiegand receiver family documented with 295 MHz at 30 bits and 318 MHz or 433 MHz at 26 bits.
- RECTSMULFRE uses two plug-in RF card slots and selectable 26-bit or 30-bit Wiegand output at the processor.
- A standalone HIVE relay receiver should not be substituted when the existing installation requires the RECTSMULFRE Wiegand or RF bus architecture.

Warranty Documentation Difference
The current Transmitter Solutions RECTSMULFRE product page and HIVE cut sheet state a 5-year warranty. The older HIVE dual-frequency receiver manual states a 24-month warranty beginning from the manufacturing date.
Because the manufacturer documents show different warranty periods, verify the warranty terms applicable to the specific receiver purchase and production generation.
Technician Note
The biggest ordering mistake with this receiver is assuming "four frequencies" means four active radios or four included RF modules. The board has two receiver card slots. Start by identifying the two transmitter systems the property actually needs to receive, then match the RF cards, protocol, Wiegand format, and antenna arrangement. Also check an older processor carefully before planning a 433 MHz migration because the older manual's connector legend only identifies 295 MHz, 318 MHz, and 418 MHz card positions.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Verify the physical receiver label and catalog SKU.
- Confirm whether the installed family is RECTSMULFRE.
- Identify the processor board generation or production revision.
- Check the RF cards currently installed in C1 and C2.
- Identify every transmitter frequency that must be retained.
- Verify the transmitter protocol, not just the MHz frequency.
- For 295 MHz, verify the documented Sentex application.
- For 318 MHz, verify the required DoorKing or other exact RF module configuration before ordering.
- For 418 MHz, confirm the installed RF card and antenna arrangement.
- For 433 MHz, verify the processor generation and correct 433 MHz migration hardware.
- Confirm whether the access control panel requires 26-bit or 30-bit Wiegand.
- Verify facility code requirements.
- Confirm whether Wiegand or the 3-wire RF bus is used.
- Confirm antenna requirements for each installed RF card.
- Verify exactly which RF modules and accessories are included with RECTSMULFRE4.
Installation and Service Notes
The manufacturer manual states that unused RF card ports are supplied with jumper strips and that the jumper strips should only be replaced by proper radio cards. Follow the frequency card position and wiring documentation for the actual processor board.
Do not change Wiegand format, facility code checking, or RF module configuration simply to force an unidentified transmitter to operate. On managed access systems, confirm the approved credential format and access control database requirements before changing receiver settings.
For damaged receiver power circuits, unknown access control wiring, or unclear Wiegand communication faults, use a qualified gate or access control technician. Do not bypass gate safety circuits, monitored entrapment protection, or emergency access functions while testing receiver operation.
