Specifications
Transmi tter
Standby current: 0mA
Total transmit current: rolling code transmission = 35mA for 80ms;
synchronise = 35mA for 100ms; randomisation = 10mA.
Infrared transmit frequency: 38.46kHz
Code transmission rate: 1.024ms
Encoding: a high (or a 1 bit) is transmitted as a 512μs burst of 38.46kHz
infrared signal, followed by 512μs of no transmission. A low (or 0 bit) is
transmitted by a 512μs period of no transmission, followed by a 512μs
burst of 38.46kHz infrared signal.
Rolling code: sends four start bits, an 8-bit identifier, the 48-bit code plus
four stop bits. The start bits include a 16.4ms gap between the second
start bit and the third start bit.
Synchronise code: sent as two blocks. Block 1 sends four start bits, the
8-bit identifier, a 32-bit seed code and four stop bits. Block 2 sends four
start bits, a 24-bit multiplier, the 8-bit increment and 8-bit scramble values,
and four stop bits. The start bits include a 16.4ms gap between the second
start bit and the third start bit.
Code randomisation: alters the multiplier values, the increment value, the
scramble value and the seed code at a 40μs rate.
Infrared transmission range: 4m
Recei ver
Supply Current: 7.6mA typical when armed and with no external devices
powered.
Strike 1 period: adjustable from 0-64 seconds in 0.25s steps
approximately.
Strike 2 period: adjustable from 0-64 seconds in 0.25s steps
approximately.
Input 1 delay: adjustable from 0-64 seconds in 0.25s steps approximately
for exit and entry delays.
Input 2 delay: adjustable from 0-64 seconds in 0.25s steps approximately
for exit and entry delays.
Alarm period: adjustable from 0-128 seconds in 0.50s steps
approximately

One question that’s often asked
about rolling code systems is what
happens if the transmitter is out
of range and one of the transmit
switches is pressed? Will the receiver
still work when the transmitter is later
brought within range and the button
pressed again?
This question is asked because the
code the receiver was expecting has
already been sent and the transmit-
ter has rolled over to a new code. So
how does the system get around this
problem?
The answer to this is that the receiver
will acknowledge a signal that is the
correct length and data rate, but it will
not trigger unless it receives the correct
code. So if the signal format is correct
but the code is incorrect, the receiver
then calculates the next code that it
would expect, and checks this against
the received code. If the code is now
correct the receiver will unlock the door.
If the code is still incorrect, the
receiver calculates the next expected
code and will do this up to 200 times.
If none of these are correct, the re-
ceiver keeps its original code, but it
will not trigger. In fact, the only way
to trigger the receiver after this is to
re-synchronise it to the transmitter.
Of course, a second transmitter will
still operate the receiver (provided
they have been synchronised in the
first place). That’s because this trans-
mitter has a different identity and a
different code to the other transmitter.
Automatic synchronisation
Some rolling code transmitters sys-
tems offer automatic synchronisation
if the transmitter and receiver lose
sync. In these systems, the receiver
includes a code ‘look-ahead’ feature,
as described above, but the number
of look-ahead codes is usually limited
to fewer than 200. What happens is
that if the code is not recognised after
all the look-ahead calculations have
been made, the receiver changes its
synchronisation method.
Basically, the receiver requires two
separate transmission codes before
restoring correct operation. On the
first transmission, it calculates the
next code it should receive using this
received code as the basis for calcu-
lation. If the second code sent by the
transmitter is the same as the code that
was calculated, the receiver operates.
The drawback of this latter scheme
is somewhat less security since, in
theory, two successive transmission
codes could be intercepted and re-
corded. These codes could then be
re-transmitted to synchronise and
thus trigger the receiver.
Calculating the code
Another question that’s often
asked is how does the receiver know
which code to expect from the trans-
mitter, since this changes each time?
The answer to this is that the trans-
mitter and the receiver both use the
same calculation to determine the
next code. They also both use the
same variables in the calculation and
these variables tend to be unique
values that no other transmitter uses.
For example, if the calculation for
consecutive codes requires the origi-
nal calculated code to be multiplied
by 100 and the number 7 added to it,
then both the transmitter and receiver
will use these numbers to perform
the calculation.
Without knowing both the mul-
tiplier and the increment value, it
would be very difficult to predict the
next code. This is particularly true
because of the very large numbers
involved. The values quoted for the
multiplier and increment value are not
as simple as 100 and 7 but are 24 bits
and eight bits respectively in length.
In addition, the code length is 48 bits
with as many as 2.8 x 10
14
combina-
tions. This reduces by a factor of 200
because of the look ahead feature to a 1
in 1.4 × 10
12
chance of striking the cor-
rect code – still impossibly long odds.
Code scrambling
A further complication with the
transmitted code is that the code is not
necessarily sent in sequence. There
are also 32 possible scrambling vari-
ations that can be applied to the code.
What if the transmitter sends two
consecutive codes that are the same
and the code is intercepted and re-
transmitted to open the lock? This is
highly improbable and our rolling code
transmitter has safeguards to prevent
the same code appearing twice in suc-
cession. For each code calculation,
a comparison is made between the
current and last code. If the code is the
same, the code is recalculated after an
increment of the code value to ensure
successive code calculations diverge.
It is this new code that is transmitted.
The receiver performs the same
recalculation so that the new code
will be accepted.
Another question concerns the use
of different transmitters. Does each
transmitter use the same rolling code
calculation and if so, wouldn’t the
receiver lose its synchronisation if
several transmitters were used? The
answer is that the receiver will not
lose synchronisation, even if one of
the transmitters is not generally used.
This is because each transmitter op-
erates independently from the others.
Only 16 transmitters can be used
with a given receiver and each must
have its own different identity from
1 to 16. The identity is built into each
transmitter and synchronisation is
required for each transmitter.
The codes sent by each transmitter
are different and the code includes the
transmitter identity value. The receiver
has 16 different rolling code and
calculation parameters, and so each
transmitter is treated independently.

Strike2 output to toggle mode (note:
LK2 must always have a jumper con-
nection, either to the ‘+’ or ‘–’ posi-
tion). Leave jumpers LK1, LK3 and
LK4 out for now.
Next, set trimpots VR1 and VR2 to
mid-range. These trimpots are later
used to set the various time periods.
Transmitter set-up
At this stage, the transmitter is
already partially set up because its
identity is selected during construc-
tion. If the transmitter’s PIC micro-
controller has not been programmed,
then program it now via the ICSP
connection. This connection can be
MADE BY SOLDERING ÚVE LEADS TO THE
transmitter’s ICSP pins and then con-
necting the other ends of these leads
to a 5-way ICSP socket to plug into the
PIC programmer.
After the IC has been programmed,
clip in the 12V battery and check that
the green acknowledge LED lights
when a switch is pressed.
Of course, if you buy a complete
kit, the PIC microcontroller (and the
PIC in the receiver) will be supplied
pre-programmed, so you won’t have
to worry about that last step.
Testing the receiver
The receiver can now be tested. First,
with IC1 out of its socket, connect a 12V
power source that can supply at least
60mA. That done, switch on and check
that there is 5V between pins 14 and 5

of the IC socket. If this is within 10% of
5V (4.5V to 5.5V), switch off and plug
IC1 into its socket, making sure that it
is correctly orientated.
Next, wire up the test LEDs as shown
in Fig.6. These are all wired in series
with 2.2kΩ current-limiting resistors.

4HE TRANSMITTER MUST NOW BE RAN-

these two procedures.
Randomising
Randomisation of the transmitter
ensures that it uses a unique set of pa-
rameters to calculate the rolling code.
4HISPROCEDUREISIMPORTANTBECAUSE
the original parameters programmed
in are the same for every transmitter.
Basically, you need to personalise the
parameters to prevent another trans-
mitter that has the same identity from
operating your receiver. If randomisa-
tion is not done, there is the real risk
that someone else’s transmitter that has

your receiver.

Synchronising
After randomising, the transmitter
MUST THEN BE SYNCHRONISED WITH THE
receiver. To do this, disconnect pins 3

pins 3 and 4 together instead. That
done, press and hold down S1 on the
receiver and then press one of the
switches on the transmitter.

Rolling Code Protection: Keeping It Secret
As previously noted, the Rolling Code Keyless Entry System provides a high
level of security because the transmitted code changes each time it is sent.
However, to further improve security, we have also included code protection for
both the transmitter and receiver.
Basically, code protection prevents the program and data within the PIC micro-
controllers from being read by a PIC programmer. As a result, the parameters used
to calculate successive rolling codes are kept safe within the microcontrollers.
In particular, this effectively prevents a transmitter from being ‘interrogated’, in
order to make a duplicate transmitter that will operate the door lock.
So, while the hex files can be used to program the microcontrollers, they can-
not be read back once programming has been verified. The parameters used
for calculating the rolling code are then randomised in the transmitter using the
set-up procedure already described. It is these parameter and the rolling code
seed values that are hidden by the code protection.

procedure in the text to synchronise the transmitters and test the receiver.

When powering from a 12V battery,
a charger should also be connected to
maintain battery charge – see Fig.7. A
12V 350mA charger for sealed lead-acid
batteries would be suitable. These charg-
ers are fully automatic – they charge the
battery when required and maintain full
charge with a trickle current.
Depending on your application,
Strike1 can be optioned to operate on
arming, on disarming or on both arming
and disarming. These options are selected
using link LK1. Table 1 shows what each
link connection does. You may also wish
to place a small buzzer across the door
strike connection to give an audible in-
dication of door strike operation.
The Strike2 output can be momentar-
ily activated whenever the secondary
switch on the transmitter is pressed.
Alternatively, it can be toggled on or
off with each switch pressing. Link LK2
selects these options.
Receiver time periods
Trimpots VR1 and VR2 are used to set
the time periods for Strike1 and Strike2,
the exit and entry delays for Input1 and
Input2, and the alarm period. Link LK3
provides the means to set each time
period – see Table 3.
With LK3 in the ‘+’ position, VR1 and
VR2 set the strike period for Strike1 and
Strike2 respectively. Table 3 shows the
various voltages that VR1 and VR2 can
provide to set the strike periods. These
voltages can be measured at TP1 for
VR1 and at TP2 for VR2.
To set the strike periods, simply adjust
VR1 and VR2 to the voltage settings re-
quired and press the synchronise switch
(S1) on the receiver board.
The delayed inputs (ie, the entry
delays for Input1 and Input2) are set
when LK3 is in the ‘–’ position. Once
again, it’s simply a matter of setting the
voltages at TP1 and TP2 and pressing
S1 to set the values.
Finally, when LK3 is out, VR1 sets the
alarm period (VR2’s setting is ignored).
Just set the required voltage at TP1 and
press S1 to program the period in.
Note that because pressing switch S1
programs in the timing adjustments,
synchronisation will also alter the
timing. This means that if you syn-
chronise a transmitter to the receiver
at a later date, you will have to make
sure that VR1 and VR2 are in
the correct positions for the
LK3 option selected before
pressing S1.

Where To Get The Bits
Suitable reed switch assemblies, door strikes and sirens are
available from Jaycar electronics. They can also supply kits
for this project.
The parts available from Jaycar include: (1) the LA-5072
normally closed (NC) reed switch magnet assembly;
(2) the LA-5078 door strike; and (3) the LA-5255 and
LA-5256 piezo sirens.

AFTERYOUÚNISHTHETIMINGADJUSTMENTS
That way, if you synchronise a transmit-
ter later on, the last set timing values are
simply reset to the same values.
Arm output option
Link LK4 sets the arm output option
– see Table 4. When LK4 is in the ‘+’
position, the Arm output is low on arm
and open on disarm. Conversely, when
LK4 is in the ‘–’ position, the Arm output
is open on arm and low on disarm. It all
depends on how you intend to use this
output as to which option you choose.
Receiver lockout
Any transmitter that has been syn-
chronised can later be locked out from
operating the receiver. This is done by
setting links LK1, LK2, LK3 and LK4
in the receiver and pressing switch S1
during power up.
Table 5 shows the link options for
each transmitter identity. Note that
these link settings correspond exactly
to the links used in the transmitter to
set the transmitter identity

the third cycle, all identities will be
locked out and the power LED will stay
lit until S1 is released. This feature is
included as a short cut to locking out
all identities.
If one transmitter is locked out and a
second one also needs to be locked
out, then the power will have to be
switched off and links LK1-LK4 repo-
sitioned for that transmitter identity.
The power must then be re-applied
with S1 pressed.
Once the lockout procedure has
been completed, you must relocate
links LK1-LK4 to their correct posi-
tions for the receiver functions that
you wish to select. It is then best to test
that everything is correct by pressing
the switches on another (non-locked-
out) transmitter and verifying that the
receiver operates as expected.

Undoing lockout
It’s easy to get a locked out transmit-
ter to operate the receiver again (ie, to
unlock it). Just synchronise the trans-
mitter with the receiver and all will be
back to normal.
The rolling code for the infrared
transmitter comprises four start bits,
a 48-bit code and four stop bits.
A calculation comprising a multi-
plier and an increment value is used
to generate the 48-bit code. First, you
start with a number (called the seed),
then you multiply this seed by the
multiplier and then add the increment.
The result becomes the next value for
random code.
Normally, if the calculation is con-
tinued, the random code will become
larger and larger as we multiply and
then add the increment value. How-
ever, this is prevented by limiting the
seed value used in the calculation to
a certain width; 32 bits in this case.
In practice then, the 24-bit multiplier
multiplies the 32-bit seed. The 8-bit
increment value is then added and the
result is limited to 48-bits by eliminating
the more significant bits. This resulting
48-bit code is the code used for the roll-
ing code transmission. In addition, the
order of transmission for these bits is
jumbled using an 8-bit scramble code
with 32 possible combinations.
The calculations do not necessarily
produce random numbers, but they do
produce variations from one transmis-
sion to the next. However, in some
cases, the result could converge to
settle at the same value, so it is impor-
tant to check this and make sure the
calculations do give diverging values
each time.
To do this, the result of each calcula-
tion is compared to the last value to
ensure it is not repeated. If the result is
the same as before, the duplicate code
is not transmitted and a new calcula-
tion is made after incrementing the
result. Subsequent calculations will
then begin to diverge again.
Randomisation
To avoid conflict, each transmitter
must have a unique set of parameters
for making the rolling code calcula-
tions. As a result, we have included
a ‘randomisation’ function, whereby
the multiplier value, the increment
value, the scramble value and the
seed value are all changed in a rela-
tively random way.
There are 16.7 million multipliers
available and 54 possible increment
values. Together with the 32 scramble
variations, these provide 29 billion dif-
ferent combinations. In addition, the
minimum multiplier value is 8192 to
ensure a significant change in value
with each calculation.
Even if two transmitters do end up
with the same parameter values, the
fact that the seed value is a part of
the calculation means that you need
to be within 200 values of the correct
value in order to unlock someone
else’s lock. The probability of this is
2
24
divided by 200, or one in 83,000.
This is in addition to the one in 29
billion chance of having the same
parameter values!
There are up to 16 different trans-
mitters that can be used with the one
receiver, and each transmitter uses
a different set of seed, multiplier,
increment and scramble values. The
transmitter sends out its identification
code that is embedded in the rolling
code, so the receiver knows which set
of values it must use in the calculation
for each transmitter.
When the transmitter is sending
synchronising code to the receiver,
it sends the 8-bit identifier, the 24-bit
seed, the 24-bit multiplier, the 8-bit
increment value and the 8-bit scram-
ble values. The identifier value is also
stored, so that the receiver knows that
this identity has been synchronised.
An identity that has not been synchro-
nised will not operate the receiver.
Once the receiver has these param-
eters, the transmitter and receiver will
remain in lock because they use the
same calculation values.
Calculating The Rolling Code
Installation
The Rolling Code Keyless Entry
System is suitable for use in homes,
factories and cars. Fig.7 shows
how to wire the unit for a typical
installation. Note that IRD1 must
be shielded from direct sunlight,
otherwise the reception range will
be severely affected.
In some cases, it may be necessary
to connect the infrared receiver (IRD1)
via extended leads using twin-core
Fig.7: here’s how to connect the receiver in a typical installation. Note that you can use both NO (normally open) and NC
(normally closed) sensors on the alarm inputs (Input1 and Input2). The battery charger keeps the battery topped up.

shielded cable (eg, if the receiver is
mounted on one side of a wall, but in-
frared reception is needed on the other
side). Fig.8 shows how this is done.
The two alarm inputs (Input1 and
Input2) can be used in conjunction
with reed switch magnet assemblies
that change state when a door or
window is opened or closed. You
can use either normally closed (NC)
or normally open (NO) types. (See
last month’s weather station project
for the lowdown on reed switches.)
As shown in Fig.9, NC types are
connected in series, while NO types
are connected in parallel. However,
for best security, use only one sensor
per input.
Alternatively, you can use a PIR de-
tector or a glass breakage detector on
one or both of the inputs. EPE
