Transmitter Solutions HIVE-1000 2 Relay Receiver
1 Introduction
The HIVE-1000 receiver offers advanced technology with a built-in Bluetooth module, enabling bi-directional communication with a smartphone via the dedicated HIVE-1000 mobile App for iOS and Android. The App facilitates managing receiver settings and pairing transmitters. The HIVE-1000 operates on both 318 MHz and 433 MHz frequencies simultaneously, supporting up to 1,024 total remotes (512 at 318 MHz and 512 at 433 MHz).

3 Mounting
To mount the receiver, drill the installation area with a 6 mm bit and insert plastic anchors. Then, fasten the mounting bracket using the provided screws. For cable entry, you can either drill an 11 mm hole near the bottom of the box or use the included cable glands (Option B).
4 General Operation
The HIVE-1000 receiver facilitates communication between transmitters (operating at 318 MHz and 433 MHz) and a smartphone via Bluetooth. It provides relay outputs and open request inputs, allowing control and monitoring through the mobile application.
5 Layout & Wiring
The receiver features a Bluetooth module with status LEDs (L2 indicating mode: Stand-by, Connected, INIT/Fatal error). It has a power terminal (L1), backup memory connector, F-Type connector for the 318 MHz antenna, and a connector for the 433 MHz antenna. Terminals are provided for relay outputs (RL1, RL2 - NO/NC) and open request inputs, along with ground and power connections (+12/24 Vac/dc).
6 Warnings
- Receiver placement is critical for optimal performance; avoid areas with strong magnetic fields or radio interference.
- Proper antenna installation and positioning are essential; on-site testing is advised.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 5 ft between two receivers.
- The equipment must be powered by a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) type LPS (Low Power Source).
- Ensure a suitable disconnecting device is available for the receiver's current draw (160mA max @ 12Vdc).
- The equipment complies with European Directives 2006/95/EC, 2004/108/EC, 99/05/EC, and standard EN 60950-1.
7 App Download and Connection to the Smartphone
Receiver management is exclusively done via a smartphone connected through Bluetooth. The first step is to download the HIVE-1000 mobile App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once installed, the app scans for nearby devices and initiates communication with the receiver, indicated by the RED LED L2 flashing rapidly.
Download the App:
7.1 Installing and Permissions
Upon downloading, you will be prompted to accept Bluetooth permissions, which are necessary for the application to locate and communicate with the receiver. The app will then guide you to a welcome screen.
7.2 Device Connection
To connect, press the "Device Search" button and select the receiver. The Bluetooth scanning range is up to 30 meters. Signal strength is influenced by receiver position and obstructions. Communication is one-to-one; if another user is connected, you cannot connect. The receiver's default name is "APHV", which can be changed up to 15 characters. After connection, you will be prompted to enter the Administrator or Installer password.
7.3 Passwords
The receiver is protected by two default passwords: Administrator (11111) and Installer (00000). It is highly recommended to change these after initial access. Administrators can change both their own and the Installer's passwords, while Installers can only change their own. If "Default Password" appears in RED, at least one password is still at its factory default. The "Remember me" option saves the password for future connections.
If passwords are forgotten, contact Transmitter Solutions technical support.
8 Device Functions
8.1 Dashboard
After logging in, users can choose between two dashboards: SMART and CLASSIC, via a toggle switch. The default screen mode can be set in the DEVICE SETTING menu.
- SMART Dashboard: Manages 318 MHz and 433 MHz remotes and other receiver settings.
- CLASSIC Dashboard: Provides commands and procedures for manual entry.
8.1.1 SMART Dashboard
The SMART Dashboard allows:
- Management of 318 MHz Linear MegaCode and 433 MHz Keeloq® hopping code remote controls.
- Setting of device name.
- Back/restore of the remote controls database.
- Setting of relay operating modes.
- Changing Administrator and Installer passwords.
- Restoring the device to factory settings.
Status indicators include ACCESS GRANTED (Relay 1/2 activated), SUSPENDED (disabled transmitter), and RADIO (RF signal detected). The Serial Number of received transmitters is displayed.
8.1.2 CLASSIC Dashboard
Enter program mode by pressing the "P" button for 3 seconds. Status indicators include ACCESS GRANTED (relay energized or program mode), DISABLED INDICATOR (disabled/suspended transmitter), and RADIO INDICATOR (RF signal detected). Buttons include DISPLAY (shows S/N, FC), PROGRAM (enter/exit program mode), CLEAR (clears input), and OPEN (activates relays 1 or 2). The POUND (#) key accesses utility functions (e.g., transmitter counts), and the STAR (*) key displays the last transmitter ID.
8.2 Relays
Relays can operate in TIMED or TOGGLE mode. For TIMED mode, the release time can be set from 1 to 120 seconds for each relay.
8.3 Facility Codes
Up to 4 Facility Codes (range 0-255) can be set. This feature filters transmitter activation, allowing only transmitters with matching Facility Codes to operate the relays. Setting all values to 0 disables filtering.
8.4 Active Buttons
This function assigns transmitter buttons (A, B, C, D) to specific relays (Relay 1, Relay 2). A "disable" option prevents a transmitter button from activating any relay.
8.5 Transmitters
The "Transmitters" section manages 433 MHz or 318 MHz transmitters. It displays a list showing Serial Number (S/N), activated relay, and operating mode (Timed or Toggle). Users can delete multiple or single transmitters, change relay modes, disable transmitters, and add new ones.
8.5.1 Add Transmitters
To add a transmitter, specify its Serial Number and Transmitter Type (TIMED or TOGGLE). A warning is issued if a transmitter with the same serial number already exists.
8.5.2 Search Bar
The search bar allows users to find memorized transmitters by entering their serial number for both 433 MHz and 318 MHz frequencies.
8.5.3 Block Enroll
Enroll a block of transmitters by entering the first and last serial numbers and specifying the operating mode for the entire block.
8.5.4 Remove Single Transmitter
Remove a single transmitter by entering its Serial Number.
8.5.5 Remove a Block of Transmitters
Remove a block of transmitters by entering the first and last serial numbers of the block.
8.6 Device Settings
Users can set the device name, configure Battery Mode (with power thresholds to prevent unstable operation), and select the default dashboard screen (Classic or Smart). Settings can be saved, and relays can be tested.
8.7 Memory Backup / Restore
The receiver's database, including memorized remote controls and settings, can be saved to or restored from an external memory device connected via a 4-pin connector. The "Restore from Backup" function overwrites existing data, while "Perform Backup" saves the current data.
8.8 Advanced Settings
Passwords for Administrator and Installer can be changed. Advanced settings include Factory Reset (resets device to factory defaults, excluding passwords and transmitter databases), and memory reset options for 318 MHz and 433 MHz transmitters.
8.9 Disconnection
The device can be disconnected from the app through a confirmation process within the application interface.
9 Open Request
The two Open Request inputs (C-NO) directly activate the two relays when their contacts are shorted to GND. Open Request 1 activates Relay 1, and Open Request 2 activates Relay 2. The wiring diagram shows the power (+12/24 Vac/dc) and GND connections, along with the OPEN REQUEST 1 and OPEN REQUEST 2 terminals connected to the relays.
10 Programming
