Installation Guide
1. Receiver Wiring
The receiver unit connects directly to your light fixture or fan. Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
Image Description: A clear wiring diagram illustrating the connection of the Ortis RF Controller (receiver) to a power input and a lamp. The diagram shows the input wires (White for Neutral, Black for Live) and output wires (White for Neutral, Black for Live) connecting to the lamp. A warning "Please cut off power before installation" is visible on the receiver unit.
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the main power supply to the circuit at your electrical panel.
- Identify Wires: Locate the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your power source and the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires leading to your light fixture/fan.
- Connect Input: Connect the Live (Black) wire from your power source to the 'L' input terminal on the receiver. Connect the Neutral (White) wire from your power source to the 'N' input terminal on the receiver.
- Connect Output: Connect the Live (Black) wire leading to your light fixture/fan to the 'L' output terminal on the receiver. Connect the Neutral (White) wire leading to your light fixture/fan to the 'N' output terminal on the receiver.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are secure using appropriate wire connectors.
- Mount Receiver: Place the receiver unit inside the electrical box or fixture canopy, ensuring it does not obstruct any moving parts or ventilation.
2. Wireless Switch Installation
The wireless switch can be mounted on a wall or used as a portable remote.
Image Description: A multi-panel image showing the installation process of the wireless switch. Panel 1 shows attaching a mounting plate to a wall with screws. Panel 2 shows the switch unit being attached to the mounting plate. Panel 3 shows the completed switch assembly on the wall. A separate inset shows the battery compartment with a 23A 12V battery and the dimensions of the switch (4.5 in x 2.7 in) and receiver (2.6 in x 1.4 in).
- Choose Location: Select a desired location for your wireless switch. This can be any flat surface.
- Mount Bracket: Use the provided screws to attach the mounting bracket to the wall.
- Attach Switch: Snap the wireless switch onto the mounted bracket. The switch can be easily detached for portable use.
- Battery Installation: The switch comes with a pre-installed battery (23A 12V). Ensure it is correctly seated.
Image Description: A visual comparison showing "NO WIRING NEEDED" for the wireless switch on the left, with the receiver hidden in the ceiling fixture and the switch placed on the wall without visible wires. On the right, a "Traditional Switch" is shown with red and blue lines indicating extensive wiring within the wall to a ceiling fixture.
Operation and Pairing
1. Initial Pairing (if needed)
Your switch and receiver are typically pre-paired from the factory. If they are not responding or if you are adding new components, follow these steps:
- Restore Power: Turn on the main power supply to the circuit at your electrical panel.
- Enter Pairing Mode: Press and hold the pairing button on the receiver unit for approximately 3 seconds until the indicator light starts flashing.
- Activate Switch: Within 10 seconds of the indicator light flashing, press any button on the wireless switch. The indicator light on the receiver will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.
- Test: Press the wireless switch to confirm it controls the connected light/fan.
2. Basic Operation
Once paired, simply press the rocker switch to turn the connected light or fan ON or OFF. The switch operates in an ON-OFF-ON mode.

3. Advanced Configurations (Programmable and Expandable)
The Ortis Wireless Kit supports flexible control schemes:
- One Switch Controls One Lamp: Standard configuration.
- Multiple Switches Control One Lamp: Pair multiple wireless switches to a single receiver. This allows for 3-way or multi-location control.
- One Switch Controls Multiple Lamps: Pair a single wireless switch to multiple receivers. This allows one switch to control several lights simultaneously.
Image Description: A diagram showing three scenarios: "Multi switches control a lamp" (two switches linked to one receiver/lamp), "One switch control a lamp" (one switch linked to one receiver/lamp), and "One switch control multi lamps" (one switch linked to two receivers/lamps). The diagram also highlights the "300ft RF Range" with signals passing through walls.
Image Description: An image depicting a living room with multiple light fixtures. A single Ortis wireless switch on the wall is shown sending a signal to a receiver, which then controls the lights, demonstrating the "one switch control multi lamps" capability.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The wireless switch is powered by a 23A 12V battery. When the switch's performance degrades or it stops responding, it may be time to replace the battery.
- Remove Switch: Gently detach the wireless switch from its mounting bracket.
- Open Battery Compartment: Locate the battery cover on the back of the switch and open it.
- Replace Battery: Remove the old 23A 12V battery and insert a new one, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Close Compartment: Securely close the battery cover.
- Reattach Switch: Snap the switch back onto its mounting bracket.
