TQ-810 Series Human Sensor Touch Switch User Manual

Models: TQ-810, TQ-810B

1. Introduction

The TQ-810 and TQ-810B are advanced human sensor touch switches designed for integration into various lighting fixtures such as metal desk lamps, wall lamps, and recessed lighting. These switches provide a convenient and modern way to control lighting with a simple touch, replacing traditional mechanical switches. They are engineered for reliability and anti-static performance.

3. Safety Information

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician or in accordance with local electrical codes.

  • Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before installing or servicing the switch.
  • Ensure all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated.
  • Do not exceed the maximum load ratings for LED (100W) or traditional bulbs (500W).
  • This device is designed for indoor use only.
  • Keep away from water and moisture.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your TQ-810 series touch switch:

  1. Prepare the Installation Area: Select the desired location for the touch sensor. For built-in applications, create a slot or drill a hole of approximately 16mm diameter for the sensor head.
  2. Mount the Sensor Head: Place the touch sensor head into the prepared hole. Secure it in place using the provided nut or by ensuring it is firmly seated.
  3. Wiring Connections:
    • Input Power: Connect the red wire (Live/Phase) and one of the black wires (Neutral) from the touch switch module to your 220V AC power supply input terminals.
    • Output to Lamp: Connect the remaining black wire (Neutral) and the blue wire (Live/Phase) from the touch switch module to the input terminals of your lamp or lighting fixture.
    • Sensor Connection: The white wire (for TQ-810) or the integrated button (for TQ-810B) is the sensor touch head. Ensure it is accessible for touch interaction.
  4. Secure the Module: Once wiring is complete, secure the main switch module within the fixture or enclosure, ensuring it is protected and not exposed.
  5. Restore Power: After all connections are made and secured, turn on the power at the circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions

The TQ-810 series touch switch is designed for simple and intuitive operation:

  • To Turn On: Lightly touch the metal sensor head (TQ-810) or the button sensor (TQ-810B). The lamp will illuminate.
  • To Turn Off: Lightly touch the sensor again. The lamp will turn off.
  • The switch operates as a toggle: one touch for ON, another touch for OFF.

6. Maintenance

  • Keep the touch sensor clean and free from dust or debris to ensure optimal responsiveness.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the sensor or module. A soft, damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
  • Periodically check wiring connections for any signs of loosening or damage. Disconnect power before inspection.
  • The internal components are not user-serviceable. Do not attempt to open the module.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Lamp does not turn on/off with touch.
  • No power to the switch.
  • Incorrect wiring.
  • Faulty lamp/bulb.
  • Sensor surface is dirty or obstructed.
  • Check circuit breaker and power supply.
  • Verify wiring according to the diagram in Section 4.
  • Test the lamp with a known working switch or power source.
  • Clean the sensor surface.
Lamp flickers or behaves erratically.
  • Loose wiring connections.
  • Load exceeds switch capacity.
  • Incompatible bulb type (rare for touch sensors, but possible).
  • Disconnect power and re-secure all wiring connections.
  • Ensure total wattage of connected lamps is within specifications (LED ≤100W, Bulb ≤500W).
  • Try a different bulb type.
Switch is unresponsive.
  • Sensor damaged.
  • Internal module failure.
  • Inspect sensor for visible damage.
  • If all other troubleshooting fails, the unit may need replacement.

8. User Tips

  • For best performance, ensure the touch sensor is installed in a location where it can be easily and consistently touched by human skin.
  • Avoid installing the sensor near strong electromagnetic interference, which could affect its sensitivity.
  • When integrating into metal fixtures, ensure the sensor head makes good contact with the metal surface for effective touch detection, if using the TQ-810 ring sensor type.
