FAQ
TL;DR: Expect ~PLN 60 for an external “radio line” with two remotes; “The most reliable solution is to buy a ‘radio line’.” [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708465]
Quick Facts
- Reported chipset: HCS101, described as fixed-code and uncommon for replacements. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708201]
- Typical add-on receiver kit cost: ~PLN 60 including two remotes and shipping. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708465]
- Two original Splendoor remotes bought for PLN 120 delivered. [Elektroda, Balon14, post #16750186]
- Proxima receiver can be wired at wall-button inputs; confirmed working by users. [Elektroda, sosarek, post #16708854]
Who is this FAQ for, and what problem does it solve?
For Splendoor gate owners who need a working replacement remote. It shows when to buy original remotes, when to add an external receiver, and how to wire it for reliable control. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708465]
Which replacement remote works best with Splendoor gates?
Two reliable routes exist: buy original Splendoor remotes, or add an external “radio line” receiver kit that includes its own remotes. The latter avoids protocol mismatches and is cost‑effective for multiple users. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708465]
What is HCS101, and does it use a fixed or rolling code?
HCS101 is a remote encoder IC used in some Splendoor setups. In the reported case it operated as a fixed‑code system, which limits compatibility with universal clones. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708201]
My universal fixed‑code remote cloned the signal but the gate doesn’t respond—why?
Cloned fixed‑code remotes may still fail due to timing, format, or receiver expectations. One user copied a code yet the gate did not work, which led them to alternate solutions. [Elektroda, Balon14, post #16708265]
Should I install an external receiver like Proxima?
Yes, when protocol mismatches block cloning. An external receiver wired to the wall‑button input sidesteps the original radio and pairs easily with new remotes. “Buy a receiver e.g. Proxima.” [Elektroda, sosarek, post #16708854]
How do I wire a Proxima receiver to a Splendoor Janus?
Use the wall‑button terminals. 1. Power the receiver per its diagram. 2. Connect receiver relay outputs across the gate’s manual button contacts. 3. Pair remotes per receiver instructions and test. Refer to the shared wiring graphic. [Elektroda, PROXIMA sj, post #16749906]
Will the add‑on receiver reduce the range of my original radio?
Mount the extra receiver slightly away from the factory receiver path to avoid range deterioration. Keep wiring tidy and avoid RF shadows near the control board. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708465]
Do Hato-lookalike remotes work with Splendoor?
Housing similarity misleads. PCBs and programming often differ, so pairing may fail despite identical shells. Physical resemblance is not a compatibility guarantee. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16707543]
How much did users pay for originals vs. add-on kits?
One user bought two original remotes for PLN 120 delivered. Another suggested an external radio kit at ~PLN 60 including two remotes. Choose based on desired uniformity and budget. [Elektroda, Balon14, post #16750186]
What is a “radio line” in gate control?
A “radio line” is an external RF receiver with its own remotes. It connects to the gate’s manual input, bypassing protocol issues while preserving safety interlocks. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708465]
My manual says the drive accepts variable (rolling) code—what then?
If your drive supports rolling code, you can still use an external receiver or buy compatible remotes. The thread notes documentation mentioning variable code acceptance. [Elektroda, Balon14, post #16708834]
I lost the original remote—can I still operate the gate soon?
Yes. Order an add‑on receiver and pair its remotes to the wall‑button input. A user confirmed full operation afterward, even from their switchboard remote. [Elektroda, Elvis18, post #16765115]
Any edge cases I should know before buying a universal clone?
HCS101 setups can be rare, and self‑copy remotes may not work even after cloning. When that happens, switch to an external receiver solution for guaranteed pairing. [Elektroda, elektryku5, post #16708201]
Why did one user still pick original remotes?
They wanted all remotes identical and with an accidental‑opening lockout. They called the manufacturer and ordered two originals for PLN 120 delivered. [Elektroda, Balon14, post #16750186]
Can I control the gate with a non-gate remote (e.g., from a switchboard)?
Yes. After installing the external receiver, one user reported opening the gate with their switchboard remote, showing flexible pairing options. [Elektroda, Elvis18, post #16765115]
I even open the gate with the remote control from the switchboard
