Transmitter Solutions 295SEPA2V Stingray 295 MHz AUTOkey Compatibility Details
The Transmitter Solutions TRARAY295SEPA2V is the Gate Openers Unlimited catalog SKU for the Stingray transmitter identified by Transmitter Solutions as model 295SEPA2V. This is a programmable two-button visor transmitter operating at 295 MHz for compatible Sentex AUTOkey and access control radio applications.
Transmitter Solutions specifically identifies the 295SEPA2V as compatible with the Sentex AUTOkey-2 transmitter application. The transmitter uses a factory-set facility code and sequence number that must be programmed into compatible system memory. It is not a DIP-switch transmitter.
What This Transmitter Does
The 295SEPA2V sends an individually numbered 295 MHz wireless credential to a compatible receiver. The transmitter has two physical buttons identified in the manufacturer manual as Button A and Button B.
The installed receiver or access control system determines the authorized function assigned to each button. Two physical buttons do not automatically mean the transmitter controls two gates or that every receiver provides two relay outputs.
Before replacing an existing transmitter, identify the receiver and record what each current transmitter button operates.
All Verified Compatibility and Applications
- Sentex AUTOkey-2 transmitter applications.
- Transmitter Solutions HIVE Wiegand Receiver in the compatible 295 MHz configuration.
- Compatible 295 MHz programmable telephone entry systems using the supported AUTOkey-compatible transmitter protocol.
- Compatible 295 MHz security systems using the supported AUTOkey-compatible transmitter protocol.
- Compatible 295 MHz access control systems using the supported AUTOkey-compatible transmitter protocol.
Sentex AUTOkey-2 Compatibility
The current Transmitter Solutions product page and exact 295SEPA2V model cut sheet specifically identify Sentex AUTOkey-2 compatibility.
The Stingray 295SEPA2V is a Transmitter Solutions product using an AUTOkey-compatible protocol. It should not be described as the same physical or packaged transmitter as an original Sentex AUTOkey-2. The verified relationship is compatibility with the documented AUTOkey-2 transmitter application.
Do not match an AUTOkey replacement by 295 MHz frequency alone. The receiver must support the applicable AUTOkey-compatible protocol and transmitter credential format.
HIVE Wiegand Receiver Compatibility
Transmitter Solutions documents its HIVE Wiegand Receiver in 295 MHz, 318 MHz, and 433 MHz configurations. The manufacturer cut sheet specifically lists Stingray 295 MHz transmitters as compatible accessories and identifies Sentex compatibility.
The installed HIVE Wiegand Receiver must be the compatible 295 MHz configuration for use with the 295SEPA2V. A 318 MHz or 433 MHz version is not a frequency match.
The transmitter itself does not have a wired Wiegand output. It sends a 295 MHz radio credential to the compatible receiver. The receiver provides the wired Wiegand interface to the access control equipment.
Manufacturer 26-Bit and 33-Bit Documentation Difference
The exact 295SEPA2V cut sheet describes the transmitter for Wiegand 26-bit programmable telephone entry, security, and access control systems operating with a 295 MHz input.
The older Transmitter Solutions Stingray 295SEPAxV family manual instead states that each transmitter can be used with a compatible receiver capable of receiving a 33-bit input and an access control system equipped with the same protocol.
Current HIVE Wiegand Receiver documentation lists Stingray 295 MHz transmitters as accessories and identifies compatibility with 26-bit devices.
Because the manufacturer documents use both 26-bit and 33-bit system language, verify the exact radio receiver and its Wiegand output or credential format before ordering for an existing access control installation. Do not assume the transmitter itself connects directly to a Wiegand input.
Factory-Set Sequence Number and Facility Code
The Transmitter Solutions Stingray manual states that each 295SEPAxV transmitter is manufactured and sold with a different factory-set sequence number and facility code.
The facility code and sequence number must be programmed into compatible system memory. This credential method is different from opening a fixed-code transmitter and copying DIP-switch positions.
The manufacturer documents a 24-bit security code providing 16,777,216 code combinations.
For an HOA, gated community, apartment property, commercial site, parking facility, or other managed access system, confirm the facility-code and transmitter-number requirements before ordering additional transmitters.
295 MHz Range and Radio Performance
The manufacturer documents 295 MHz ASK modulation and a free-space operating range of 60 to 120 yards. Actual installed range may be lower because of receiver antenna placement, metal equipment cabinets, buildings, radio interference, and other site conditions.
If an existing transmitter suddenly works only from close to the receiver, check the 23A battery and receiver antenna condition before assuming the transmitter model is incorrect.
Two-Button Stingray Configuration
The Transmitter Solutions 295SEPA transmitter manual identifies two Stingray visor models:
- 295SEPA1V - one-button Stingray transmitter.
- 295SEPA2V - two-button Stingray transmitter with Buttons A and B.
The exact 295SEPA2V is the two-button version. Confirm both existing transmitter functions before changing to the one-button 295SEPA1V.
Button and Enclosure Color Documentation
The current Transmitter Solutions product page describes the 295SEPA2V as charcoal. The exact cut sheet identifies two white buttons, while the transmitter family manual labels the buttons light gray and the enclosure black.
These manufacturer descriptions appear to refer to different parts of the transmitter or use different color wording. Do not use button or housing color as the primary compatibility check. Verify the complete 295SEPA2V model number, 295 MHz frequency, and AUTOkey-compatible receiver system.
Similar Parts Are Not Automatically Interchangeable
295SEPA1V is the related one-button Stingray visor transmitter. Transmitter Solutions specifically identifies that model with Sentex AUTOkey-1 compatibility. Do not substitute the one-button model when the existing system requires the two-button AUTOkey-2 application.
295SEPA2K-C is a Monarch two-button 295 MHz keychain transmitter documented for Sentex AUTOkey-2K compatibility. It is a separate transmitter family and exact compatibility reference. The AUTOkey-2 and AUTOkey-2K designations should not be treated as identical solely because both products operate at 295 MHz and have two buttons.
295SEPC transmitter models are a separate 295 MHz Stingray protocol family. The SEPA and SEPC model suffixes identify different transmitter applications. Do not substitute a 295SEPC model based only on frequency and housing style.
318 MHz, 418 MHz, 433 MHz, and other-frequency Stingray transmitters are not replacements for the 295SEPA2V. A fixed-code DIP-switch transmitter is also not an automatic replacement for this programmable credential transmitter.

Package and Battery Check
The manufacturer specifies one 12V type 23A alkaline battery as the transmitter power source and identifies the product as a visor transmitter. Current public manufacturer documentation does not clearly list every retail package component or specifically confirm a fresh battery or separate visor mounting accessory in every package. Confirm current package contents when those items are specifically required.
Technician Note
The biggest ordering mistake with the 295SEPA2V is matching only "295 MHz" and "2 button." Check the SEPA model family and AUTOkey-2 compatibility. Do not substitute a 295SEPC transmitter, a Monarch AUTOkey-2K model, or another 295 MHz remote based only on frequency. Also verify the actual receiver format because Transmitter Solutions documentation uses both Wiegand 26-bit and compatible 33-bit receiver language for the 295SEPA family.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Verify the exact manufacturer model 295SEPA2V.
- Confirm the Gate Openers Unlimited catalog SKU TRARAY295SEPA2V.
- Confirm the installed radio receiver operates at 295 MHz.
- Verify Sentex AUTOkey-2 compatibility when replacing that documented transmitter application.
- Record the exact installed receiver or access control system model.
- For a HIVE Wiegand Receiver, confirm the installed receiver is the compatible 295 MHz configuration.
- Verify the receiver credential or Wiegand format required by the access control system.
- Confirm the facility code.
- Confirm the factory-set sequence-number or transmitter credential requirements.
- Confirm two physical transmitter buttons are required.
- Record the current function of Button A and Button B.
- Do not use DIP-switch programming instructions.
- Do not substitute the 295SEPA1V when a second transmitter function is required.
- Do not substitute a 295SEPA2K-C solely because it is a two-button 295 MHz AUTOkey-family transmitter.
- Do not substitute a 295SEPC transmitter for the SEPA model.
- Do not identify compatibility by button or enclosure color alone.
- Confirm current package contents when battery or visor accessory inclusion is important.
Programming and Service Notes
The transmitter facility code and factory-set sequence number must be programmed into compatible system memory. Use the programming procedure for the exact installed receiver, telephone entry system, or access control platform.
Do not attempt to program the 295SEPA2V by copying DIP-switch positions. The transmitter does not use a DIP-switch code bank.
The manufacturer specifies one 12V type 23A alkaline battery. Battery access is through the sliding battery door. Install the battery with the polarity shown in the transmitter enclosure. The red LED should illuminate when either Button A or Button B is pressed.
If the transmitter LED does not illuminate, the manufacturer troubleshooting information directs the user to replace the transmitter battery. If the LED is on but the system does not receive the transmitter signal, verify that the facility code and sequence number have been programmed into the system. Reduced operating range is also a manufacturer-listed reason to replace the battery.
Professional Advisory
Do not bypass photo eyes, monitored safety edges, entrapment protection, emergency access, fire access, garage door reversal systems, or operator safety circuits while troubleshooting a transmitter or receiver problem. Unclear receiver wiring, Wiegand interfaces, operator inputs, or access control electrical faults should be inspected by a qualified gate, garage door, or access control technician.
