Transmitter Solutions TRALUN318DOPW4K-C Luna 318 MHz MicroCLIK Compatibility Details
The Transmitter Solutions TRALUN318DOPW4K-C is a Luna programmable keychain transmitter operating at 318 MHz. This exact model is the four-button version in the TRALUN318DOPWxK-C transmitter family and uses the DoorKing MicroCLIK compatible protocol documented by Transmitter Solutions.
The Luna transmitter is designed for programmable telephone entry, security, and access control systems operating with a compatible 318 MHz receiver. Transmitter Solutions directly identifies its RECTSWIE318-D receiver as operating with this transmitter. The manufacturer also lists compatibility with 318 MHz DoorKing, Monarch, Stingray, RCS, and Chameleon transmitter families.
What This Transmitter Does
The TRALUN318DOPW4K-C sends a factory-numbered 318 MHz credential to a compatible receiver or access control radio system. The transmitter must be programmed into the system memory before use.
This is not a DIP-switch remote. Each transmitter is manufactured with its own factory-set serial number. Facility code and serial-number requirements must match the way the receiving access control system is managed.
The four-button housing provides Buttons A, B, C, and D. Actual button functions depend on the compatible receiver, system programming, and authorized access configuration. Four physical buttons do not automatically provide four relays or four independent gate outputs.

RECTSWIE318-D Receiver and 26-Bit Wiegand Compatibility
The current Transmitter Solutions Luna manual specifically states that the RECTSWIE318-D receiver operates with the TRALUN318DOP transmitter family. That receiver provides a 26-bit Wiegand format output.
According to the manufacturer manual, the RECTSWIE318-D Wiegand output may be connected to access control equipment equipped to accept a 26-bit Wiegand input. The access control panel must still be configured for the applicable credential data, facility code, user record, and access permissions.
Do not assume the TRALUN318DOPW4K-C itself has a wired Wiegand output. The transmitter sends a 318 MHz radio credential. The compatible receiver provides the Wiegand interface to the access control system.
DoorKing MicroCLIK Compatible Protocol
The TRALUN318DOPW4K-C uses a DoorKing MicroCLIK compatible protocol. Transmitter Solutions documents the transmitter for programmable 318 MHz access applications rather than conventional DIP-switch fixed-code operation.
Matching the 318 MHz frequency alone is not enough. The receiver must support the compatible MicroCLIK radio protocol and the credential information assigned to the transmitter.
Facility Code and Serial Number Requirements
Each Luna transmitter is manufactured and sold with a factory-set serial number. Manufacturer documentation also describes facility-code support. These values matter in managed telephone entry and access control systems where the receiver or controller validates the transmitter credential.
Before ordering additional transmitters for a community, HOA, commercial property, storage facility, or other managed access system, verify the required facility code and serial-number arrangement with the system administrator or access control provider.
Manufacturer Documentation Conflict on Code Capacity
Current Transmitter Solutions documents do not state the code and facility-code capacity the same way. The current Luna manual explains a 14-bit security code with up to 16,384 code combinations and 6 bits of facility code allowing up to 64 facility codes.
However, the technical specification table in that same manual lists 65,536 combinations and 16 facility codes. The current TRALUN318DOPW4K-C cut sheet lists 16,384 combinations and 64 facility codes.
Because the manufacturer documents conflict, do not use the larger combination figure or alternate facility-code count as the basis for ordering a managed transmitter batch. Verify the required facility code and serial-number range for the actual access control system.
ChargeGuard Battery Status Indicator
The TRALUN318DOPW4K-C includes the Transmitter Solutions ChargeGuard battery-status circuit with a three-color LED.
- Green LED - normal battery level and normal transmitter range.
- Orange LED - attention level with reduced remaining battery service and lower range expected.
- Red LED - low battery level; replace the battery.
The manufacturer manual states that a reduced operating range may be corrected by replacing the transmitter battery. An illuminated LED does not prove the transmitter has been programmed into the receiver or that the receiver is compatible.
Four-Button Model Documentation
The exact TRALUN318DOPW4K-C manual and cut sheet identify this product as the four-button Luna transmitter. The family manual identifies the following versions:
The current manufacturer product webpage for TRALUN318DOPW4K-C contains a "One-button" feature line. This conflicts with the exact model number, four-button product illustration, family manual, and model-specific cut sheet. The exact TRALUN318DOPW4K-C is documented as the four-button version.
Similar Parts Are Not Automatically Interchangeable
TRALUN318DOPW1K-C and TRALUN318DOPW2K-C belong to the same documented MicroCLIK compatible Luna family but have one and two buttons respectively. Confirm the required button count before ordering.
Other 318 MHz Luna transmitters may use a different protocol suffix or be intended for a different receiver family. Do not match a replacement by Luna housing or 318 MHz frequency alone.
The manufacturer cut sheet states that the Luna family is available with an added proximity coil in combo transmitter versions that may support HID, Mango, AWID, or Securakey protocols. Do not assume the standard TRALUN318DOPW4K-C includes a proximity coil or proximity credential. Verify the exact combo transmitter part number when both RF transmitter and proximity credential functions are required.
318 MHz DIP-switch transmitters are not automatic replacements for this programmable MicroCLIK compatible transmitter. The coding and receiver system are different.

Technician Note
The biggest ordering mistake with this Luna transmitter is treating every 318 MHz remote as interchangeable. This model uses the DoorKing MicroCLIK compatible protocol and a factory-set credential. Check the receiver family, facility code, and serial-number requirements before adding transmitters to a managed property. Also verify the W4K suffix because the current manufacturer webpage incorrectly contains a one-button feature line even though the exact manual and cut sheet identify W4K as the four-button model.
Before Ordering Checklist

- Confirm the required facility code with the property or access control administrator.
- Confirm the required transmitter serial-number arrangement or credential assignment.
- Confirm four physical buttons are required.
- Record the authorized function assigned to each existing transmitter button.
- Do not substitute a 318 MHz DIP-switch transmitter.
- Do not assume the standard transmitter includes a proximity coil.
- Verify the exact combo transmitter part number if HID, Mango, AWID, or Securakey proximity support is required.
- Confirm the access control panel accepts 26-bit Wiegand when using the RECTSWIE318-D receiver output.
Programming and Service Notes
The manufacturer manual states that the transmitter must be programmed into the system memory. Programming instructions depend on the installed receiver, telephone entry system, or access control platform. Use the enrollment procedure for the exact receiving system.
Do not attempt to duplicate the credential by copying DIP switches because this model does not use a DIP-switch code bank. For managed communities or commercial access systems, transmitter enrollment should follow the property's authorized credential-management procedure.
To replace the battery, the manufacturer manual specifies a 12V A23 battery. The battery door is accessed after removing the rear fixing screw. Install the battery with the polarity shown in the battery compartment. Keep new and used batteries away from children and dispose of used batteries according to applicable local requirements.
If the transmitter LED illuminates but the system does not respond, verify that the transmitter has been enrolled into system memory. If operating range is reduced, replace the transmitter battery. Receiver antenna, interference, or access control system problems may also require diagnosis.
Professional Advisory
Do not bypass photo eyes, monitored safety edges, entrapment protection, door reversal systems, emergency access, or operator safety circuits while troubleshooting a transmitter or receiver problem. If the receiver, Wiegand wiring, access control panel, or gate operator has an unclear electrical or safety-circuit fault, have the system inspected by a qualified gate or access control technician.
