Technical Specifications

Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure all power to the automation system is disconnected. This receiver is designed for professional installation or by individuals with adequate electrical knowledge.

Component Overview

Wiring Instructions

1. Power Connection (PWR): Connect the 9V-30V AC/DC power supply to the terminals labeled 'PWR'. Ensure correct polarity if using DC power, though the receiver is designed to be flexible.
2. Output Connections (OUT1, OUT2):
   • Connect the control wires for your first automation system (e.g., garage door opener) to the 'OUT1' terminals. These are typically dry contact relays.
   • If controlling a second automation system, connect its control wires to the 'OUT2' terminals.
3. Ground Connection (GND): Connect the ground wire from your system to the 'GND' terminal.
4. Antenna Connection (ANT): Connect the provided external antenna to the 'ANT' terminal. Position the antenna vertically and away from metal obstructions for best signal reception.

Frequency Configuration (Dip Switches)

The 8 dip switches (labeled 1-8) on the receiver are used to configure the operating frequency and compatibility mode. Refer to your remote control's manual or the manufacturer's specifications to set the correct dip switch combination for your specific remote brand and frequency. Incorrect settings will prevent the receiver from learning or operating with your remote.

Note: The exact dip switch settings for various brands are not provided in this manual. Consult the documentation for your specific remote control or automation system.

Learning Remote Controls

Once the receiver is powered and the dip switches are correctly set, you can proceed to program your remote controls. The receiver supports both fixed and rolling code remotes.

1. Enter Learning Mode: Locate the learning button on the receiver (often labeled 'LEARN' or similar, or indicated by an LED). Press and hold this button briefly until an indicator LED (e.g., S1 or S2) illuminates or flashes, indicating it is in learning mode for the corresponding channel.
2. Transmit from Remote: While the receiver is in learning mode, press the button on your remote control that you wish to program. The receiver's LED should change its state (e.g., flash rapidly, then turn solid, or turn off) to confirm successful learning.
3. Exit Learning Mode: Some receivers automatically exit learning mode after a few seconds of inactivity or after a successful learn. You may also need to press the learning button again to exit.
4. Test: After programming, test the remote control to ensure it operates the connected automation system correctly.
5. Repeat for Additional Remotes: Repeat the process for all other remote controls you wish to program. Remember that each relay (OUT1, OUT2) can store up to 100 remotes, with a total capacity of 200 remotes for the receiver.

To clear all programmed remotes from a channel, typically press and hold the learning button for that channel for an extended period (e.g., 8-10 seconds) until the LED indicates a reset.

Operation

Once the receiver is installed and remote controls are programmed, operation is straightforward:

• Activating a Channel: Press the corresponding button on your programmed remote control.
• Indicator LEDs: The L1 and L2 LEDs on the receiver indicate the status of the respective output channels (OUT1 and OUT2). When a channel is activated by a remote, its corresponding LED will illuminate.
• Range: The effective operating distance is typically 30-50 meters, depending on environmental factors and obstructions.

Ensure the receiver's antenna is unobstructed for optimal performance.

Maintenance

The Scimagic-RC universal receiver is designed for low maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the receiver. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Environment: Install the receiver in a dry location, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture.
• Antenna: Ensure the antenna remains securely connected and is not bent or damaged.
• Wiring: Periodically check wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Disconnect power before inspecting wiring.
