Alpha RE306-A 2 Channel Remote

The Alpha RE306-A 2 Channel Remote is designed to provide simple and convenient control of two compatible Alpha motors or receivers from a single handheld controller.

Unlike multi-channel remotes that require users to select or cycle between channels before operating a motor, the RE306-A features separate button sets for each of its two channels. This provides direct access to each channel and makes operation particularly straightforward.

With 433.92 MHz rolling-code technology, a magnetic wall mount and CR2032 lithium coin battery, the RE306-A is a practical controller for smaller Alpha motorised blind, shutter and awning installations where two separate control channels are required.

Two Independent Control Channels

The Alpha RE306-A provides two control channels, allowing two compatible motors or receivers to be controlled from one remote.

Its defining feature is the physical arrangement of the controls.

Rather than selecting Channel 1 or Channel 2 and then using one common set of control buttons, the RE306-A provides a separate set of buttons for each channel.

This means each channel has its own dedicated controls, helping make operation immediately understandable.

For a simple two-motor installation, this can be more convenient than using a larger multi-channel remote with channel-selection controls that aren’t required.

Separate Buttons for Simple Operation

Alpha specifically describes the RE306-A as having separate button sets for each channel for “super simplicity.”

This is the main reason to choose this model.

For example, where two compatible motorised blinds are installed in the same room, one set of controls can operate the motor assigned to one channel while the second set controls the motor assigned to the other.

There’s no need to cycle through channel numbers or check which channel is currently selected before pressing the required control button.

That makes the RE306-A particularly useful where ease of operation is more important than having a large number of available channels.

Ideal for Two-Motor Installations

Not every motorised blind installation needs a 4, 5, 8 or 16-channel remote.

Where only two compatible motors or receivers need separate control, the RE306-A provides the required two channels without unnecessary additional capacity.

This makes it suitable for applications such as two motorised blinds in the same room, two separate motorised products requiring dedicated controls, or other compatible Alpha installations where two independent channels are sufficient.

For larger installations requiring more individually selectable motors or receivers, Alpha’s wider remote-control range provides additional multi-channel options.

Straightforward Everyday Control

One of the advantages of a dedicated two-channel controller is that users don’t need to remember how to navigate a larger channel-selection system.

The RE306-A keeps the controls for the two channels physically separate.

This can be particularly convenient in frequently used installations where the same two motorised products are operated every day.

The straightforward layout also makes the remote easy to hand to another household member or user without requiring an explanation of how to change between channels.

433.92 MHz Rolling-Code Technology

The Alpha RE306-A operates at 433.92 MHz and uses rolling-code technology for communication with compatible Alpha motors and receivers.

Rolling-code systems change the transmitted code during operation rather than repeatedly transmitting one fixed code.

The RE306-A is designed for use with compatible Alpha motorised systems operating with the appropriate Alpha radio technology.

Magnetic Wall Mount

The RE306-A features a magnetic wall mount, providing a convenient dedicated location for storing the remote when it isn’t being used.

Keeping the controller in a consistent location can make it easier to find and helps prevent the remote from being misplaced around the home.

The remote can be removed from the magnetic mount when handheld operation is preferred and returned after use.

CR2032 Lithium Coin Battery

The Alpha RE306-A is powered by a CR2032 lithium coin battery.

CR2032 is a commonly available coin-cell battery type, making replacement straightforward when the original battery eventually requires replacement.

As with all products containing lithium coin batteries, the battery must be kept securely away from children due to the serious risks associated with ingestion.

FAQs

What is the Alpha RE306-A Remote used for?

The Alpha RE306-A is a two-channel remote designed to provide straightforward control of two compatible Alpha motors or receivers from one handheld controller.

How many channels does the Alpha RE306-A have?

The RE306-A provides two separate control channels. This makes it particularly suitable for smaller installations where two compatible motors or receivers need to be controlled independently.

How do you select between channels on the RE306-A?

The RE306-A uses separate button sets for each channel, rather than requiring the user to cycle between channels. This provides direct access to the controls for each of the remote’s two channels.

Why choose the RE306-A instead of a larger multi-channel remote?

For an installation requiring only two control channels, the RE306-A provides a particularly simple interface. Its dedicated button sets avoid the additional channel-selection process found on larger multi-channel controllers.

Does the Alpha RE306-A have a timer?

No timer functionality is specified for the RE306-A. It is designed as a straightforward two-channel controller rather than a programmable timer remote.

What frequency does the Alpha RE306-A use?

The RE306-A operates at 433.92 MHz and uses rolling-code technology when communicating with compatible Alpha motors and receivers.

What battery does the Alpha RE306-A use?

The RE306-A uses a CR2032 lithium coin battery. Lithium coin batteries must always be kept out of reach of children due to the serious risk of injury if swallowed.
