Transmitter Solutions RECTSWIE434 433 MHz HIVE Wiegand Receiver Compatibility Details
The Transmitter Solutions RECTSWIE434 is a HIVE 433 MHz receiver catalog SKU for access control systems requiring 26-bit Wiegand output. Applicable Transmitter Solutions documentation for the standard HIVE 433 MHz receiver identifies a superheterodyne receiver operating at 433.92 MHz with AM/ASK demodulation and open-collector DATA0 and DATA1 outputs.
The current Transmitter Solutions HIVE Wiegand receiver family page identifies the broader receiver part number as RECTSWEI295/318/433, while the official standard 433 MHz receiver manual identifies the board as RECTSWEI433. The exact RECTSWIE434 catalog SKU is not separately printed in the current public manufacturer documentation. Verify the physical product label when replacing an existing receiver or comparing similar 433 MHz HIVE models.
What the RECTSWIE434 Receiver Does
The receiver accepts supported 433 MHz transmitter signals and sends approved transmitter credential data to a connected access control system through 26-bit Wiegand DATA0 and DATA1 outputs.
The receiver checks programmed facility-code and key-code combinations before sending the Wiegand frame. The connected access control panel then determines whether the credential is authorized and operates the appropriate controlled access point.
This receiver is not documented with a standalone Normally Open or Normally Closed dry-contact relay for direct gate operator activation. A compatible Wiegand access control panel or downstream controller is required.
433.92 MHz Receiver Technical Details
The applicable Transmitter Solutions standard 433 MHz receiver manual documents the following radio specifications:
- Superheterodyne receiver architecture
- 433.92 MHz operating frequency
- AM/ASK demodulation
- -115 dBm fixed receiver sensitivity
- 50 Ohm input impedance
This is the standard fixed-sensitivity receiver configuration documented by Transmitter Solutions. It should not be confused with the separate adjustable-range 433 MHz HIVE receiver that uses a T1 sensitivity trimmer.
Linear, Sentex, and DoorKing Compatibility Options
The current Transmitter Solutions HIVE 26-bit Wiegand receiver page and manufacturer cut sheet list compatibility with Linear, Sentex, and DoorKing applications.
Do not assume every RECTSWIE434 receiver accepts every Linear, Sentex, and DoorKing transmitter simultaneously. The exact transmitter family, coding system, facility code, receiver configuration, and manufacturer compatibility option must match the access system being serviced.
A random 433 MHz transmitter should not be considered compatible simply because the frequency matches. Verify the existing transmitter part number and receiver application before ordering replacement or additional remotes.
26-Bit Wiegand Output Format
The standard 433 MHz receiver provides two open-collector Wiegand outputs:
The official receiver manual documents the 26-bit Wiegand frame as:
- 1 even parity bit
- 6-bit facility code
- 18-bit transmitter serial number
- 1 odd parity bit
The connected access control panel must support 26-bit Wiegand and the credential format used at the property. This receiver should not be ordered for a 30-bit Wiegand requirement unless the receiving system is being changed to a documented compatible configuration.
Facility Code and Key Code Memory
The receiver is documented to store up to 50 different facility-code and key-code combinations. The standard 433 MHz manual identifies the following transmitter key-code options:
- Key A
- Key B
- Keys A+B pressed together
The 50-combination specification refers to facility-code and key-code combinations. It should not be described as a memory capacity of 50 individual transmitter serial numbers.
The receiver leaves the factory without an accepted transmitter combination programmed. A supported transmitter combination must be memorized before the receiver sends approved Wiegand credential data.
Facility Code Check Management
The receiver manual documents a facility-code filtering function. Facility-code checking can be disabled while key-code checking remains active.
For a managed community, commercial property, storage site, or other controlled access system, verify the approved facility code before changing this setting. Do not disable credential filtering simply to force an unidentified transmitter to operate.
Antenna and Coax Requirements
The standard receiver provides separate Antenna Shield and Antenna Core terminals. Transmitter Solutions specifies shielded RG58 coaxial cable with 50 Ohm impedance for the antenna connection.
Receiver and antenna placement can affect radio performance. Nearby magnetic fields, radio emissions, metal enclosures, motors, damaged coax, and poor antenna termination can reduce usable transmitter range.
The receiver manual also documents approximately 50 meters as the maximum Wiegand cable distance when shielded cable is used with the industry-standard Wiegand interface. Actual installation performance depends on cable type, wiring conditions, and the connected equipment.
Standard RECTSWIE434 and Adjustable 433 MHz Receiver Differences
The standard 433 MHz receiver and the adjustable 433 MHz HIVE receiver should not automatically be treated as the same product.
- The standard receiver manual documents fixed -115 dBm sensitivity.
- The standard receiver uses an eight-position terminal arrangement.
- The standard receiver connects DATA1 at terminal 2 and DATA0 at terminal 3.
- The standard receiver connects Antenna Shield at terminal 7 and Antenna Core at terminal 8.
- The adjustable receiver uses a T1 sensitivity trimmer with a documented -40 to -80 dBm adjustment range.
- The adjustable receiver uses a different six-terminal connection layout.
Do not transfer wiring by terminal number from the adjustable receiver to the standard receiver. Verify the physical board, terminal labels, and applicable manual before replacement.
Terminal Connections
- Terminal 1 - Not used
- Terminal 2 - DATA1 open-collector output
- Terminal 3 - DATA0 open-collector output
- Terminal 4 - 12-24 VAC/DC power supply
- Terminal 5 - Power ground
- Terminal 6 - Not used
- Terminal 7 - Antenna Shield
- Terminal 8 - Antenna Core
Verify the printed terminal labels on the receiver before moving existing wiring. Similar HIVE receiver boards can use different terminal arrangements.
Manufacturer-Documented HIVE Transmitter Accessory Families
The current HIVE 26-bit Wiegand receiver cut sheet lists the following transmitter accessory families across the 295 MHz, 318 MHz, and 433 MHz receiver family:
- Monarch 295 MHz transmitters
- Monarch 318 MHz transmitters
- Monarch 433 MHz transmitters
- Stingray 295 MHz transmitters
- Stingray 318 MHz transmitters
- Stingray 433 MHz transmitters
For the 433 MHz receiver application, verify the exact 433 MHz Monarch or Stingray transmitter model, coding system, facility code, and receiver compatibility option. The receiver family accessory list should not be used to assume that every transmitter SKU works with every receiver configuration.
Package Contents Require Confirmation
Current Transmitter Solutions documentation contains a package-content difference. The HIVE receiver product page lists a wire harness and describes the coax antenna as optional. The manufacturer HIVE receiver cut sheet states that the coax antenna and wiring harness are included.
Confirm the exact RECTSWIE434 package before ordering when a coax antenna or wiring harness is required. Do not assume antenna hardware is included solely from the HIVE family name.
Not Intended For
- 295 MHz transmitter systems
- 318 MHz transmitter systems
- 418 MHz transmitter systems
- 30-bit Wiegand applications
- OSDP reader communication
- Standalone relay control without a compatible Wiegand controller
- Universal 433 MHz transmitter reception based only on frequency
- Applications requiring adjustable receiver sensitivity

Technician Note
The biggest ordering mistake with this receiver is confusing it with RECTSWIE433-ADJ or matching only "433 MHz." The standard receiver manual shows fixed -115 dBm sensitivity and an eight-terminal layout. The adjustable receiver uses a T1 trimmer and different terminals. Also verify the transmitter protocol. A random 433 MHz remote is not automatically compatible just because the frequency matches.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Verify the catalog SKU RECTSWIE434 and physical receiver label.
- Check whether the receiver board is identified as RECTSWEI433.
- Confirm the application requires the standard fixed-sensitivity receiver.
- Do not confuse this receiver with RECTSWIE433-ADJ.
- Verify 433.92 MHz operation is required.
- Identify the exact transmitter manufacturer and model.
- Confirm the required Linear, Sentex, or DoorKing compatibility option.
- Verify the facility code and key-code requirements.
- Confirm the access control panel accepts 26-bit Wiegand.
- Verify DATA0 and DATA1 wiring.
- Confirm 12-24 VAC/DC power is available.
- Check the Antenna Shield and Antenna Core connections.
- Verify RG58 50 Ohm coax requirements.
- Confirm whether a coax antenna and wiring harness are included with the exact package.
Installation and Service Notes
Install the receiver away from strong magnetic fields and radio interference when practical. Antenna position should be tested at the site before final mounting, and the applicable manual specifies shielded RG58 50 Ohm cable for the antenna connection.
Verify the printed terminal labels before moving wiring from another HIVE receiver. The standard and adjustable 433 MHz receiver manuals show different terminal arrangements.
For unknown Wiegand wiring, damaged access control power circuits, or unclear credential-format problems, use a qualified gate or access control technician. Do not bypass gate safety devices, monitored entrapment protection, emergency access, or fire access functions while testing receiver operation.
Product Questions and Answers
Is RECTSWIE434 the same part number shown in the standard Transmitter Solutions 433 MHz receiver manual?
The supplied catalog SKU is RECTSWIE434, while the official standard 433 MHz receiver manual identifies the receiver as RECTSWEI433 and the current HIVE page uses the family number RECTSWEI295/318/433. Verify the physical receiver label before ordering a replacement.
What is the difference between RECTSWIE434 and the adjustable 433 MHz HIVE receiver?
The standard 433 MHz receiver manual documents fixed -115 dBm sensitivity and an eight-terminal layout. The adjustable receiver uses a T1 sensitivity trimmer with a documented -40 to -80 dBm range and a different six-terminal layout. Do not transfer wiring by terminal number between the two receivers.
Does RECTSWIE434 work with any 433 MHz transmitter?
No. Matching 433 MHz frequency alone does not prove compatibility. The HIVE receiver family lists Linear, Sentex, and DoorKing compatibility options, but the exact transmitter family, coding system, facility code, and receiver configuration must match.
What Wiegand format does the standard 433 MHz HIVE receiver output?
The receiver outputs 26-bit Wiegand through open-collector DATA0 and DATA1 connections. The documented frame contains a 6-bit facility code, an 18-bit transmitter serial number, and the required even and odd parity bits.
How many transmitter combinations can the standard 433 MHz receiver store?
The receiver manual documents storage for up to 50 facility-code and key-code combinations. The documented key codes are A, B, and A+B. This should not be described as a memory capacity of 50 individual transmitter serial numbers.
Does RECTSWIE434 provide a dry-contact relay output directly to a gate operator?
No standalone dry-contact relay output is documented. The receiver provides open-collector Wiegand DATA0 and DATA1 outputs for connection to a compatible access control panel or downstream controller.
Is a coax antenna included with the RECTSWIE434 receiver?
Current Transmitter Solutions documents differ on package contents. The HIVE receiver product page lists an optional coax antenna and included wire harness, while the manufacturer cut sheet states that the coax antenna and wiring harness are included. Confirm the exact package before ordering.
