3. Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions:

• Ensure power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker before installing or servicing the receiver.
• Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician if you are unsure about electrical wiring.
• Do not exceed the maximum load and power ratings specified for the receiver.
• Keep the device away from water and extreme temperatures.
• This product is designed for indoor use unless otherwise specified for outdoor components. The IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm, but no protection against water.

4. Setup

4.1 Receiver Wiring

The receiver must be wired between the power source and the load (e.g., light fixture). Follow these steps:

1. Disconnect Power: Turn off the main power supply at your circuit breaker before starting any wiring.
2. Connect Input: Connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your power supply to the 'Input' terminals on the receiver.
3. Connect Output: Connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your load (e.g., lamp) to the 'Output' terminals on the receiver.
4. Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are secure. A small screwdriver is often included for this purpose.
5. Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and the receiver is safely housed, restore power at the circuit breaker.

4.2 Pairing the Transmitter with the Receiver

The transmitter and receiver are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed or for additional transmitters:

1. Ensure the receiver is powered on.
2. Press and hold the pairing button on the receiver (refer to receiver diagram for exact location) until its indicator light starts flashing.
3. Within a few seconds, press either the 'ON' or 'OFF' button on the wireless transmitter.
4. The receiver's indicator light will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.

4.3 Mounting the Transmitter

The transmitter features a magnetic base for flexible mounting:

• Adhesive Mounting: Use the included double-sided adhesive sticker to fix the magnetic base to a desired wall surface.
• Magnetic Attachment: The transmitter can then be magnetically attached to or removed from this base, allowing it to function as a wall switch or a portable remote control.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic ON/OFF Function

Simply press the 'ON' button on the transmitter to turn the connected appliance on, and the 'OFF' button to turn it off.

5.3 Flexible Pairing Options

The LoraTap system supports flexible pairing configurations:

• Multiple Transmitters to One Receiver: Several transmitters can be paired to control a single receiver, allowing for multiple control points for one light or appliance.
• One Transmitter to Multiple Receivers: A single transmitter can be paired to control multiple receivers simultaneously, ideal for controlling groups of lights.
• The 868MHz frequency ensures no interference when using multiple units in the same area.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement (Transmitter)

The transmitter uses a CR2032 battery with an expected life of over 10 years. To replace the battery:

1. Carefully open the transmitter casing (refer to product diagram for battery compartment access).
2. Remove the old CR2032 battery.
3. Insert a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the casing securely.

6.2 Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces of the transmitter and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device not responding:
  • Check if the receiver has power.
  • Ensure the transmitter battery is not depleted.
  • Re-pair the transmitter and receiver as described in Section 4.2.
  • Verify that the load connected to the receiver is within the specified power limits.
• Reduced control range:
  • Ensure there are no new large metal objects or thick walls obstructing the signal path.
  • Check for sources of strong radio interference nearby.
  • The maximum range is achieved in open areas; indoor range is reduced by obstacles.
