6. Setup and Wiring

Before wiring, ensure the power supply is disconnected. The receiver module has screw terminals for power input and relay output.

6.1 Wiring the Receiver Module

1. Power Input: Connect your DC 12V power supply to the terminals labeled DC+ (positive) and DC- (negative).
2. Relay Output: The relay has three terminals: NO (Normally Open), COM (Common), and NC (Normally Closed). For most applications, you will use NO and COM.
   • To switch a load (e.g., a light, motor) that needs to be turned ON when the remote button is pressed: Connect one wire from your load to the COM terminal and the other wire from your load to the NO terminal. The power source for the load should be connected appropriately.
   • Ensure all connections are secure to prevent short circuits.

7. Programming the Remote Control (Learning Code)

The receiver module uses a learning code function to pair with the remote control and set the operating mode. The module supports Momentary and Toggle modes.

7.1 Clearing Existing Codes

Before programming a new remote or changing the operating mode, it is recommended to clear any previously stored codes.

• Press and hold the learning button (small black button on the receiver PCB, refer to Figure 3) for approximately 8 seconds until the indicator LED flashes rapidly and then turns off. This indicates that all stored remote codes have been cleared.

7.2 Setting Operating Modes

After clearing codes, you can program the remote control to operate in one of the following modes:

7.2.1 Momentary Mode (Jog)

In Momentary mode, the relay activates only while the remote button is pressed and held. It deactivates upon release.

• Press the learning button on the receiver module once. The indicator LED will turn on.
• Press the button on your remote control. The indicator LED on the receiver will flash three times and then turn off, indicating successful pairing in Momentary mode.

7.2.2 Toggle Mode (Self-Locking)

In Toggle mode, pressing the remote button once activates the relay, and pressing the same button again deactivates it.

• Press the learning button on the receiver module twice. The indicator LED will turn on.
• Press the button on your remote control. The indicator LED on the receiver will flash three times and then turn off, indicating successful pairing in Toggle mode.

8. Operating Instructions

Once the remote control is successfully paired with the receiver module and the desired operating mode is set:

• Momentary Mode: Press and hold the button on the remote control to activate the connected device. Release the button to deactivate.
• Toggle Mode: Press the button on the remote control once to activate the connected device. Press the same button again to deactivate.

9. Maintenance

• Keep the receiver module and remote control clean and dry.
• Avoid dropping the devices or subjecting them to strong impacts.
• If the remote control range decreases significantly, consider replacing the battery inside the remote (typically a 23A/12V battery, though not explicitly stated for this model, it's common for such remotes).

10. Troubleshooting

• Device not responding to remote:
  • Check if the receiver module is powered correctly (indicator LED should be on or flash during operation).
  • Ensure the remote control battery is not depleted.
  • Re-program the remote control to the receiver module (refer to Section 7).
  • Ensure there are no strong RF interference sources nearby.
• Short operating range:
  • Replace the remote control battery.
  • Ensure the receiver's antenna is not obstructed or damaged.
  • Avoid metal enclosures around the receiver module, which can block RF signals.
• Relay not switching:
  • Verify the wiring connections to the relay output terminals (NO, COM, NC).
  • Ensure the load connected to the relay does not exceed the maximum current rating of 10 Amps.
