FMT15108E 151Mhz Long Range 8 Channel Transmitter
The genuine Elsema FMT15108E is a fixed location, eight channel 151MHz transmitter designed for long-distance wireless control across agricultural, industrial, mining and commercial sites.
Each of its eight independent inputs can be connected to a normally open, voltage-free contact such as a push button, relay, reed switch or toggle switch. This allows one transmitter to remotely control up to eight separate functions, including pumps, alarms, floodlights, gates, machinery and monitoring equipment.
When installed with the appropriate antenna, the FMT15108E can provide an operating range of up to 5km line-of-sight. Multiple channels can be transmitted simultaneously, making it suitable for applications where several devices or functions may need to operate at the same time.
The transmitter operates from a 12V DC power supply and uses a 12-way DIP switch coding system for straightforward integration with compatible Elsema FMR151 series receivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elsema FMT15108E used for?
The FMT15108E provides long-range wireless control of up to eight separate functions. Common applications include pumps, floodlights, alarms, gates, machinery, water-level systems and industrial automation equipment.
How far can the FMT15108E transmit?
The transmitter can achieve a range of up to 5,000 metres under suitable line-of-sight conditions. Actual range depends on the antenna, mounting position, terrain, surrounding structures and installation environment.
Can the FMT15108E control eight different devices?
Yes. It has eight independent normally open inputs, allowing up to eight separate functions or receiver channels to be controlled.
Can multiple channels transmit simultaneously?
Yes. The FMT15108E can transmit multiple channels simultaneously, allowing more than one connected function to be activated at the same time.
What can be connected to its inputs?
The inputs accept normally open, voltage-free contacts. These can include push buttons, toggle switches, reed switches and relay outputs from other control equipment.
Which receivers work with the FMT15108E?
The transmitter is designed for compatible Elsema FMR151 series receivers, including single-channel and multi-channel models. The transmitter and receiver must be set to matching frequencies and 12-way DIP switch codes.
Does the transmitter include an antenna?
No. The external antenna is sold separately. Elsema recommends the ANT151M for suitable long-range installations.
Does it operate from a battery?
No. The FMT15108E is a fixed-location transmitter requiring a 12V DC power supply. It is not a handheld battery-operated remote.
Can it be used outside Australia?
The standard FMT15108E operates on 151MHz for Australia. New Zealand uses a different-frequency version, as do the United States and Canada. Frequency regulations should be checked before ordering for overseas use.
