From transmitters and receivers involved in industrial automation systems in areas like mining, agriculture and warehousing, to everyday items such as wireless routers, remotes, cordless tools and automatic gates, wireless and cordless technologies are slowly but surely supplanting traditional tethered options.
Robust, reliable and secure alternatives to cords and wired controls have raised efficiency, safety, convenience and productivity in multiple fields, with products that are affordable, versatile, easy to use and seamlessly integrated into existing systems.
One company at the forefront of wireless solutions is Australian-owned and operated Elsema. With innovative products that have pushed and set industry standards for over five decades, this is a name that has cemented its place as the country’s leader in automated gate systems, licence-free remote and wireless communications systems, and long-range industrial remotes.
Company Profile
Established in 1973, the company’s first breakthrough was the now legendary FMT range of remotes used for gate systems, garage doors, and a variety of automation systems. Since then, Elsema has expanded its range of secure and reliable wireless control solutions to include automatic gate kits, remote controls, receivers, wireless transmitters, antennas, power supplies, and electrical enclosures.
While gated systems are their core offerings, Elsema now includes control systems with numerous wireless transmitters and receivers with simple ON/OFF or more comprehensive features and functionality for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. The company has built its reputation around robust and reliable wireless solutions that can withstand severe conditions and ensure consistent performance in demanding settings.
It deploys a wide range of frequencies, including the widely popular licence-free 433MHz for domestic gated systems and home automation, 151MHz for penetration in congested industrial environments, and 915MHz for military and medical uses. It has also developed the world’s first low-cost 915MHz hand-held transmitter with fast frequency hopping. To ensure maximum security and prevent interference, the team has deployed extensive encryption and authentication protocols that have garnered customer trust outside Australia.
The company now exports its receiver and transmitter line to the USA, Europe and New Zealand, ensuring compliance with local regulations and performance requirements. All products are designed for easy integration into existing systems and come with detailed installation instructions and user-friendly interfaces for simple and secure use. The extensive product range, push for innovation and reliability have brought Elsema to the forefront of wireless technology.
Key Products
Automatic Gate and Door Technology
If you require automated sliding or swing gates, then look to Elsema for a complete and integrated solution. Packaged sets for sliding gates include everything from programmable PenatFob and PentaCode key remotes, the company’s own “Intelligent Slider” gate controller with integrated motor and backup power supply, gear racks to suit the length of any gate, and sustainable low-power solar solutions with an automated photo-electric beam.
These can be integrated into residential gates weighing up to 900 kilos and relying on a single motor for opening or closing. Larger commercial or industrial gated systems, with sliding mechs, a 3-ton weight, and high-speed operation provided by single or dual motors, are also available. Similar setups are sold for swing gates.
Where the company excels is its MC Eclipse series of 12 and 24V control cards, housed in durable IP66 plastic enclosures. These can be used with multiple Elemsa remotes, have soft start and stop functionality, and offer swift gate operations with variable speed adjustment and enhanced security password protection.
There are also hard-wired 230VAC and 4G GSM gate openers that offer unparalleled convenience, security and control for both residential and commercial applications. Additional accessories include vehicle loop detectors, safety bump strips, lock actuators and photoelectric beams for smooth and safe pedestrian and vehicle recognition.
Wireless Transmitters and Receivers
Transmitters and receivers go beyond security gates to offer wireless control in industry, agriculture, construction, manufacturing and mining. Choose Elsema’s transmitter and receiver combos for simple start/stop machine functionality when regulating traffic with wireless controllers, to operate warning and siren systems, remotely activate pumps for irrigation, or control cement trucks in construction.
Transmitters can be handheld or hardwired, have effective operating distances of 100 to 800 metres, and are operated by Elsema’s PentaFob or PentaCode fobs in 1 to 16 separate channels for improved encryption and security.
GLT Series 433MHz Gigalink® Transmitters
These handheld transmitters use the licence-free 433 MHz frequency to communicate with compatible Gigalink® receivers. They have up to 8 separate channels, to allow the control of up to eight different receivers with a single transmitter to a range of 350 metres. Safety and security are provided with simple encryption and up to four billion codes. And power comes from a 9-volt battery. Common uses are in automated gates and doors and remotely operated vehicles and machinery in hazardous mining and construction applications.
GLR Series 433MHz Gigalink® Receivers
Pair the GLT transmitters with matching receivers. These feature between one and eight outputs, either with relay, open collector, or positive switching for operation with unlimited transmitters or remotes. The convenience ensures smooth operation in controlled, large-scale applications. For uninterrupted signal propagation, choose proprietary antennas, and prevent tampering or damage with IP66-rated enclosures.
Multicode Transmitters and Receivers
Choose the Multicode range of transmitters and receivers for heightened security and advanced encryption. With up to 16 separate channels and over 16 million codes, the MC transmitters ensure immunity from interference or jamming while operating on the stable 915MHz frequency.
Other products in Elsema’s catalogue include batteries, battery chargers, solar panels, warning lights, repeaters, wall switches and the full array of remotes for a secure, functioning and integrated wireless system that caters to multiple customer needs.
