3. Setup and Wiring
Before connecting the receiver, ensure the power supply is disconnected. The receiver supports DC 12V or 24V input. Carefully follow the wiring diagrams based on your application.
3.1. Wiring Diagrams
The receiver board has terminals for power supply (DC12V+/DC12V-) and relay outputs (NO, COM, NC for each channel). Refer to the following diagrams for common connection modes:
Image 3.1: Various circuit connection modes for different types of loads, including DC motors and AC loads.
3.1.1. Connecting DC Motors
For controlling DC motors, connect the motor leads to the appropriate relay terminals (e.g., COM and NO). The power supply for the motors can be separate or shared with the receiver, depending on the motor's voltage requirements.

3.1.2. Connecting Lights/Loads
For controlling lights or other loads, connect them to the relay terminals. Ensure the load's voltage and current ratings do not exceed the receiver's specifications (10A, 12V/24V DC or 250V AC).

3.2.1. Momentary Mode (Press and Hold)
In Momentary mode, the relay activates only while the remote button is pressed and held. Release the button to deactivate the relay.
- Press the learning button on the receiver board once. The indicator light will turn on.
- Press any button on the remote control. The indicator light will flash 3 times, indicating successful pairing.

3.2.2. Toggle Mode (Press On, Press Off)
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 board twice. The indicator light will turn on.
- Press any button on the remote control. The indicator light will flash 3 times, indicating successful pairing.

3.2.3. Latched Mode (Interlock)
In Latched mode, pressing one remote button activates its corresponding relay and deactivates any previously active relay on the same receiver. This is useful for applications where only one output should be active at a time (e.g., motor direction control).
- Press the learning button on the receiver board three times. The indicator light will turn on.
- Press any button on the remote control. The indicator light will flash 3 times, indicating successful pairing.

3.2.4. Mixed Modes (Advanced)
The receiver also supports advanced mixed modes for specific applications:
- 4. 2CH Momentary + 2CH Toggle: Press learning button 4 times.
- 5. 2CH Momentary + 2CH Latched: Press learning button 5 times.
- 6. 2CH Toggle + 2CH Latched: Press learning button 6 times.
- 7. 2CH Latched + 2CH Latched: Press learning button 7 times.
After pressing the learning button the specified number of times, press any remote control button. The indicator light will flash 3 times, confirming the setting.
3.3. Clearing All Paired Transmitters (Reset)
To clear all previously paired remote controls from the receiver's memory:
- Press the learning button on the receiver board eight times.
- The indicator light will flash 8 times, then turn off, indicating that all stored codes have been cleared.

4. Operating the System
Once the remote control is successfully paired with the receiver in the desired mode, operation is straightforward:
- Momentary Mode: Press and hold the corresponding button on the remote to activate the connected device. Release the button to deactivate.
- Toggle Mode: Press the corresponding button once to activate the connected device. Press the same button again to deactivate.
- Latched Mode: Press a button (e.g., 'A') to activate its corresponding channel. If another button (e.g., 'B') is pressed, channel 'A' will deactivate, and channel 'B' will activate. Only one channel can be active at a time in this mode.

5. Maintenance
The RODOT wireless remote control switch system is designed for low maintenance. Consider the following:
- Cleaning: Keep the receiver board and remote controls clean and free from dust and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Battery Replacement: The remote transmitters use standard coin cell batteries (e.g., CR2016 or CR2032). If the remote's range decreases or the indicator light on the remote becomes dim, replace the batteries. Refer to the remote's casing for specific battery type.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the receiver to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity, as these can affect performance and lifespan.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RODOT wireless remote control switch, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Response from Receiver:
- Check the power supply to the receiver. Ensure it is connected correctly (DC 12V or 24V) and receiving power.
- Verify that the remote control's battery is not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Ensure the remote control is within the effective range (up to 164ft/50m without obstacles). Walls and other obstructions can significantly reduce range.
- Re-pair the remote control with the receiver following the instructions in Section 3.2.
- Incorrect Operating Mode:
- If the receiver is not behaving as expected (e.g., not toggling, or not latching), it might be programmed in the wrong mode. Clear all paired codes (Section 3.3) and then re-program the desired mode (Momentary, Toggle, or Latched) as described in Section 3.2.
- Interference:
- Other RF devices operating on similar frequencies (433Mhz) can cause interference. Try relocating the receiver or the interfering device if possible.
- Device Not Activating/Deactivating:
- Check the wiring of the connected device to the receiver's relay terminals. Ensure all connections are secure and correct according to the wiring diagrams (Section 3.1).
- Verify that the connected device itself is functioning correctly when directly powered.
