Alpha WSRE103-8C Pioneer 8 Channel Remote

Alpha WSRE103-8C Pioneer 8 Channel Remote

The Alpha WSRE103-8C Pioneer 8 Channel Remote is designed for installations where multiple compatible Alpha motors or receivers need to be controlled from one convenient handheld remote.

With eight selectable channels, the WSRE103-8C can control up to eight different compatible motors or receivers separately. Motors can also be configured into groups, allowing multiple motorised blinds, shutters or awnings to be operated together.

This combination of individual and grouped control makes the Pioneer 8 Channel Remote particularly useful for larger rooms, open-plan living areas, offices and other installations containing multiple motorised products.

Control Up to Eight Motors or Receivers

Each of the eight channels can be assigned to a different compatible motor or receiver.

For example, an installation containing eight motorised blinds could have each blind assigned to its own channel. The user can then select the required channel and operate that particular blind without operating the others.

This provides much greater flexibility than using a single-channel controller across a larger motorised installation.

Group Control

The WSRE103-8C isn’t limited to individual operation.

Compatible motors or receivers can also be arranged into groups, allowing several motorised products to respond together. This can be useful when multiple blinds need to be opened or closed at the same time.

Individual channel control remains available when only one particular motor needs to be operated.

This allows one remote to handle both precise individual control and convenient group operation.

LCD Display

The WSRE103-8C features an LCD display to assist with channel selection.

With eight channels available, having a visual indication of the selected channel makes everyday operation easier and helps users identify which channel they are about to operate.

The display is particularly useful in larger installations where a single remote is controlling several motorised products.

Pioneer Series Multi-Channel Control

The WSRE103-8C forms part of Alpha’s Pioneer Series of remote controls.

The Pioneer range includes different channel configurations to suit installations of different sizes. The WSRE103-8C provides eight channels, making it a useful middle ground between Alpha’s smaller four-channel controller and larger 16-channel Pioneer remote.

For installations containing several motorised blinds or other compatible Alpha products, this can reduce the need for multiple handheld remotes.

433.92 MHz Operation

The Alpha WSRE103-8C operates at a frequency of 433.92 MHz.

It uses rolling-code technology when communicating with compatible Alpha motors and receivers.

Rolling codes provide a changing transmitted code rather than repeatedly relying on one fixed radio code, forming part of Alpha’s remote-control communication system.

Convenient Wall Mount

Alpha lists a wall mount as a key feature of the WSRE103-8C.

The wall mount gives the remote a dedicated storage location when it isn’t being carried or used. This can be especially useful in homes, offices and commercial environments where several people may need to access the controller.

Rather than leaving the remote on a bench, desk or table, it can be returned to its designated location after use.

Important Timer Information

The WSRE103-8C does not include the programmable timer functionality described for Alpha’s 4T model.

Alpha identifies the 4T as a separate four-channel timer variant capable of setting up to eight different open/close times and selecting days of the week.

The WSRE103-8C should therefore be selected when eight-channel individual and grouped manual control is required rather than scheduled operation.
