Transmitter Solutions RFMOD433 Receiver Module Compatibility Details
The Transmitter Solutions RFMOD433 is a 433 MHz plug-in radio frequency module for the compatible RECTSMULFRE HIVE Wiegand dual-band receiver system. The HIVE receiver uses removable radio frequency cards on its receiver processor board so the system can be configured for supported transmitter frequencies.
This module is used when a compatible RECTSMULFRE receiver installation requires 433 MHz radio reception. It is not a complete receiver, standalone relay controller, or universal 433 MHz remote interface.
What the RFMOD433 Module Does
The RFMOD433 provides the 433 MHz radio frequency receiving function for the compatible HIVE dual-band receiver processor. The host RECTSMULFRE receiver processes the received transmitter information and provides its configured RF bus and/or Wiegand output to the connected system.
The receiver processor board supports plug-in radio frequency cards and has two receiver card slots. This modular arrangement is intended to help retain an existing supported transmitter frequency while introducing another supported transmitter family when the receiver configuration and board generation allow it.
Verified Receiver Compatibility
- Transmitter Solutions RECTSMULFRE HIVE Wiegand Dual Band Receiver
The current Transmitter Solutions receiver information identifies the RECTSMULFRE as a configurable dual-frequency receiver with card slots for supported frequency modules and documents 433 MHz as a supported receiver frequency.
Verified 433 MHz Transmitter Family Applications
Transmitter Solutions documentation for the HIVE Wiegand dual-band receiver specifically identifies the following 433 MHz transmitter families as receiver accessories:
- Transmitter Solutions Monarch 433 MHz programmable transmitter family
- Transmitter Solutions Stingray 433 MHz programmable transmitter family
Frequency alone does not guarantee transmitter compatibility. A different manufacturer's 433 MHz remote, a DIP-switch transmitter, or a transmitter using another coding protocol should not be assumed compatible simply because it operates at 433 MHz.
Receiver Frequency and Wiegand Configuration
The RECTSMULFRE receiver is documented as a multi-frequency platform using plug-in radio cards. Current manufacturer information identifies support for 295 MHz, 318 MHz, 418 MHz, and migration to 433 MHz. The HIVE receiver can provide 26-bit or 30-bit Wiegand output as selected at the receiver processor board.
The RFMOD433 does not convert a 295 MHz, 318 MHz, or 418 MHz transmitter into a 433 MHz transmitter. Each remote must use a radio frequency and transmitter protocol supported by the installed receiver module and receiver configuration.
Important Model Generation and Documentation Warning
The current Transmitter Solutions RECTSMULFRE product information and HIVE dual-band cut sheet include 433 MHz support. The older HIVE dual-frequency receiver manual shows connector legends primarily identified for 295 MHz, 318 MHz, and 418 MHz cards and does not clearly identify 433 MHz in the card-slot legend.
This documentation difference may reflect an older receiver processor generation or a later 433 MHz migration configuration. Before installing RFMOD433, verify the physical RECTSMULFRE processor board, receiver card connectors, board revision, and existing radio module labels. Do not force a frequency card into a connector that does not match the documented receiver hardware.
Similar Frequency Modules Are Not Automatically Interchangeable
A plug-in radio module for 295 MHz, 318 MHz, or 418 MHz is not a substitute for RFMOD433. The radio frequency card determines the supported receiving frequency, and the receiver processor configuration must match the intended transmitter system.
Also, do not substitute a standalone 433 MHz receiver, HIVE-1000 receiver, 433 MHz Wiegand receiver, or another Transmitter Solutions product simply because it receives 433 MHz signals. Receiver architecture, transmitter encoding, memory, output type, connectors, and system programming can differ.

Package Contents and Items Not Included
RFMOD433 is identified as an RF frequency module and should not be ordered when a complete receiver assembly is required. The current public manufacturer documentation does not clearly define a complete RFMOD433 retail package list.
Unless specifically stated with the product being purchased, do not assume the RECTSMULFRE receiver processor board, receiver enclosure, transmitters, access control panel, external wiring, or other frequency modules are included. Confirm package contents before ordering for a complete receiver installation.
Technician Note
The biggest ordering mistake with this part is matching only the number 433. A remote and receiver can both say 433 MHz and still use different encoding or receiver architecture. For the HIVE dual-band system, verify the RECTSMULFRE receiver processor board and the transmitter family. The manufacturer specifically documents 433 MHz Monarch and Stingray families with this receiver platform.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Verify the receiver model is Transmitter Solutions RECTSMULFRE.
- Check the physical processor board and receiver board revision.
- Verify the existing radio frequency module or modules already installed.
- Confirm an appropriate receiver card slot is available.
- Verify that 433 MHz is the required transmitter frequency.
- Identify the exact transmitter family and coding system.
- Confirm whether 26-bit or 30-bit Wiegand output is required at the host receiver.
- Confirm package contents if a complete receiver, enclosure, or additional accessories are needed.
Installation and Service Notes
The HIVE receiver manual states that radio frequency card ports use jumper strips when shipped and that the jumper strips are replaced only by the proper radio cards. Verify the receiver board generation and correct card connector before installing the module.
Power should be removed and receiver service performed according to the applicable Transmitter Solutions documentation. For damaged receiver boards, unknown wiring, access control power problems, or unclear Wiegand system faults, use a qualified gate or access control technician.
Product Questions and Answers
Is the Transmitter Solutions RFMOD433 a complete gate receiver?
No. RFMOD433 is a 433 MHz plug-in radio frequency module used with the compatible RECTSMULFRE HIVE Wiegand dual-band receiver system. It should not be ordered as a complete standalone receiver.
Which receiver is verified for the RFMOD433 433 MHz module?
The verified receiver application is the Transmitter Solutions RECTSMULFRE HIVE Wiegand Dual Band Receiver. Verify the physical receiver processor board and revision before ordering because older documentation shows different frequency-card connector labeling.
Will any 433 MHz gate remote work with the RFMOD433 module?
No. Matching 433 MHz frequency alone does not guarantee compatibility. The HIVE dual-band receiver documentation specifically identifies 433 MHz Monarch and Stingray programmable transmitter families. Other 433 MHz transmitters should be confirmed before ordering.
Can RFMOD433 replace a 295 MHz, 318 MHz, or 418 MHz frequency module?
RFMOD433 provides 433 MHz reception and is not a same-frequency replacement for a 295 MHz, 318 MHz, or 418 MHz module. The host receiver can use supported radio cards for different frequencies, but the selected module must match the intended transmitter system and receiver board configuration.
Does the RFMOD433 module provide a relay output to open a gate?
No standalone relay output is provided by the RF module. The compatible RECTSMULFRE receiver processor handles the received radio data and provides its configured 3-wire RF bus and/or 26-bit or 30-bit Wiegand output to the connected system.
Can I install RFMOD433 in an empty RECTSMULFRE receiver card slot?
The HIVE receiver uses plug-in radio frequency card slots, and the manufacturer manual states that receiver card port jumper strips are replaced only by radio cards. Confirm the processor board generation, connector position, and RFMOD433 compatibility before inserting the module.
Why does an older HIVE receiver manual not clearly show 433 MHz on the card-slot legend?
Current Transmitter Solutions receiver information and the HIVE dual-band cut sheet include 433 MHz support, while the older receiver manual primarily labels card connectors for 295 MHz, 318 MHz, and 418 MHz. Verify the physical receiver board revision and frequency module label before ordering for an older installation.
What should I check before ordering a Transmitter Solutions RFMOD433?
Verify the RECTSMULFRE receiver model, processor board revision, existing frequency modules, available card slot, required 433 MHz transmitter family, Wiegand output requirements, and package contents. Do not order by frequency alone.
