Alpha RE101 Pioneer Single Channel Remote

The Alpha RE101 Pioneer Single Channel Remote is a simple, durable controller designed for straightforward operation of compatible Alpha motorised blinds, shutters and awnings.

As the single-channel model in Alpha’s Pioneer Series, the RE101 is ideal for installations where one control channel is all that’s required. Rather than adding unnecessary multi-channel controls or displays, it provides a practical handheld controller built around easy everyday operation.

A key feature of the Pioneer design is its rugged rubberised edges and buttons, which provide additional impact resistance during normal use. This makes the RE101 particularly well suited to customers looking for a practical remote that can handle the knocks and drops that handheld controllers can experience around the home or workplace.

The RE101 operates at 433.92 MHz and uses Alpha’s rolling-code technology for communication with compatible Alpha motors and receivers.

Simple Single-Channel Control

The Alpha RE101 provides one control channel, making it a straightforward choice when a single compatible motor, receiver or appropriately configured group needs to be operated.

There’s no need to cycle through channels or navigate an LCD screen. The controller is designed to provide direct operation without the additional controls required by larger multi-channel remotes.

This simplicity makes the RE101 particularly useful for individual motorised blinds, shutters or awnings where additional channels aren’t required.

It can also be a practical replacement or additional controller for a compatible existing Alpha motorised system.

Rugged Pioneer Series Design

One of the main differences between the Pioneer Series and Navigator Series is the physical design of the controller.

While the Navigator range emphasises its solid steel chassis and premium finish, the Pioneer Series takes a more practical approach with rubberised edges and buttons designed to provide impact resistance.

The softer protective areas help provide additional protection against the everyday knocks and accidental drops that handheld remotes can experience.

That makes the RE101 a strong option where durability and straightforward operation are higher priorities than having a larger display or extensive multi-channel functionality.

Designed for Everyday Use

Motorised blind remotes are often handled multiple times every day, moved between tables and benches, stored in different locations and occasionally dropped.

The RE101’s Pioneer design takes this type of everyday use into consideration.

Its rubberised edges provide a degree of protection around the controller, while the rubberised buttons contribute to the practical, tactile design.

The result is a remote intended to be easy to pick up and operate without unnecessary complexity.

For customers who simply want reliable control of a compatible Alpha motorised product, the RE101 provides the essential functionality in a durable package.

433.92 MHz Operation

The Alpha RE101 operates at a frequency of 433.92 MHz.

It is designed to communicate with compatible Alpha motors and receivers using Alpha’s radio-control system.

This allows commands from the handheld remote to be transmitted wirelessly to the paired compatible motor or receiver without requiring a wired connection between the controller and motorised product.

Rolling-Code Technology

The RE101 uses rolling-code technology.

Rather than repeatedly transmitting the same fixed control code, a rolling-code system changes the transmitted code during operation according to its programmed sequence.

Alpha describes its remote-control system as using a 66 rolling-code program with approximately 268 million possible combinations, helping minimise the possibility of programming duplication between compatible systems.

This radio-control technology is used throughout Alpha’s compatible remote and receiver ecosystem.

Part of the Alpha Pioneer Series

The RE101 sits within Alpha’s broader Pioneer Series of remote controls.

The Pioneer range includes models designed for installations requiring different numbers of control channels, allowing customers to select a controller suited to the size of their motorised system.

The RE101 is the straightforward single-channel option, making it particularly suitable for customers who don’t need the additional channels offered by larger Pioneer controllers.

For installations involving several independently controlled motors or receivers, Frontline Supply also carries Alpha’s multi-channel Pioneer remotes.

Suitable Applications

The RE101 can be used with compatible Alpha radio-controlled motorised systems.

Typical applications can include compatible:

• Motorised roller blinds
• Motorised shutters
• Motorised awnings
• Alpha motors
• Alpha radio receivers
• Single-channel motorised installations

Compatibility should always be confirmed for the particular motor or receiver being paired with the remote.

FAQs

What is the Alpha RE101 Pioneer Remote used for?

The Alpha RE101 is a single-channel remote designed to control a compatible Alpha motor, receiver or appropriately configured motorised system. It provides straightforward wireless operation without the additional controls of a multi-channel remote.

How many channels does the Alpha RE101 have?

The RE101 has one control channel. It is designed for installations where a single control channel is sufficient and additional individually selectable channels aren’t required.

What makes the Alpha Pioneer Series different from the Navigator Series?

The Pioneer Series emphasises a practical, impact-resistant design with rubberised edges and buttons. The Navigator Series instead features a premium design built around a solid steel chassis and stainless-steel edge finish.

Is the Alpha RE101 designed to resist accidental drops?

The RE101 features rugged rubberised edges and buttons for additional impact resistance. These protective design elements make it better suited to the knocks and drops that can occur during normal everyday use.

Does the Alpha RE101 have an LCD screen?

No. The RE101 is a straightforward single-channel controller and does not require an LCD channel-selection display. Alpha uses LCD displays on certain higher-channel Pioneer models where channel navigation is required.

What frequency does the Alpha RE101 use?

The RE101 operates at 433.92 MHz and uses Alpha’s rolling-code radio-control technology when communicating with compatible motors and receivers.

Can the Alpha RE101 control motorised blinds, shutters and awnings?

The RE101 is designed for use with compatible Alpha radio-controlled motors and receivers used across motorised products including blinds, shutters and awnings. Compatibility should be confirmed for the particular motor or receiver being paired.
