<p>A remote control apparatus comprises a transmitter to transmit coded signals, and a receiver to receive and decode the signals. The receiver is associated with a plurality of control elements each adapted to be activated in response to the decoding of a predetermined respective signal, and each adapted to remain activated while the receiver continues to receive a signal from the transmitter. Each control element is associated with timing means so that whenever a control element is activated the control element remains activated for at least a period of time as determined by the timing arrangement. This may prevent inadvertent "drop-out" due to voltage drop caused by a power surge. Also each control element is adapted to inhibit operation of the other control element while the first element is actuated and for a brief period of time after the first control element has ceased being actuated.</p> |
