4. Setup & Installation

Follow these steps carefully for safe and correct installation of your DieseRC module.

4.1 Wiring Diagram

Ensure the main power supply is OFF before proceeding with any wiring. This module is designed for 4-wire AC motors. The wiring diagram illustrates connections for both the module and an optional wall switch.

• Step 1: Disconnect Power. Turn off the main power supply to your roller shutter circuit at the breaker.
• Step 2: Identify Wires. Locate the power supply wires (Live 'L' and Neutral 'N') and the motor wires (typically Live 1 'L1' for Up, Live 2 'L2' for Down, and Neutral 'N' for the motor). Some motors may have only two wires; in such cases, the motor's neutral connects to the module's 'N Curtain Motor' terminal if present, otherwise, it's not used.
• Step 3: Connect Power to Module. Connect the Live wire from your power supply to the 'L' terminal on the module and the Neutral wire to the 'N' terminal on the module.
• Step 4: Connect Motor to Module. Connect the motor's 'Up' wire to 'L1' on the module and the motor's 'Down' wire to 'L2' on the module. Connect the motor's Neutral wire to the 'N Curtain Motor' terminal if your motor has a separate neutral.
• Step 5: Connect Wall Switch (Optional). If using a physical wall switch, connect the switch wires to the 'S1' (Down), 'S2' (Up), and 'L' (Stop) terminals on the module. The provided wires can be used for this purpose.
• Step 6: Position Module. Place the module carefully into the wall box, ensuring it does not obstruct the learning button for initial setup.

4.2 App Setup (Tuya Smart / Smart Life)

The module integrates with the Tuya Smart or Smart Life application for Wi-Fi control.

• Step 1: Download App. Scan the QR code above or search for "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" in your mobile app store and install it.
• Step 2: Create Account. Open the app and register a new account or log in if you already have one.
• Step 3: Restore Power. Turn on the main power supply to the roller shutter circuit. The module should enter pairing mode (often indicated by a blinking light).
• Step 4: Add Device. In the app, tap the "+" icon in the top right corner and select "Add Device". The app should automatically detect the new device. If not, manually select "Curtain Switch" or "Curtain Module" from the device list.
• Step 5: Connect to Wi-Fi. Follow the in-app instructions to connect the module to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted.
• Step 6: Initial Calibration. Once connected, ensure the app's slider is at 0% (fully closed). Press the 'Up' button in the app. If the motor moves in the wrong direction, you can either swap the L1 and L2 wires or reverse the motor direction in the app settings (Settings -> Motor Steering Switch -> Reverse).
• Step 7: Set Travel Duration. In the app's settings, you can set the motor's travel duration (e.g., 20 seconds for a window, 30 seconds for a bay window). The default is often 120 seconds.

4.3 RF Remote Control Pairing

The module supports pairing with a 433MHz RF remote control.

• Step 1: Select Channel. On your RF remote control, select the desired channel using the bottom button.
• Step 2: Enter Learning Mode. Press the learning button on the DieseRC module once. The indicator light on the module will turn blue.
• Step 3: Pair Remote. Immediately after the light turns blue, press the 'Up' button (or any desired control button) on your RF remote control. The module's light should flash, indicating successful pairing.
• Note: If you have multiple remotes or want to control multiple shutters with one channel, repeat the process for each remote/shutter, ensuring the same channel is selected on the remote.

4.4 Clearing RF Remote Control Signal

To clear all paired RF remote control signals from the module:

• Step 1: Press Learning Button. Press the learning button on the module 8 times consecutively.
• Step 2: Confirmation. The module's indicator light will flash, confirming that all paired RF signals have been cleared.
• Note: After resetting, any previously paired RF transmitters will no longer work and will need to be re-paired.

5.4 Manual Wall Switch Control

• If a physical wall switch is connected, you can use it to manually control the roller shutter (Up, Down, Stop).

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the module with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Battery Replacement: If your RF remote control stops responding, replace its battery according to the remote's specific instructions.

7. Troubleshooting

• Module not responding: Check power connections. Ensure the circuit breaker is on. Verify Wi-Fi connectivity in the app.
• Roller shutter moves in the wrong direction: In the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app, go to Settings -> Motor Steering Switch and select 'Reverse'. Alternatively, power off, swap the L1 and L2 wires, then restore power.
• RF remote not working: Ensure the remote has a fresh battery. Re-pair the remote with the module following the instructions in Section 4.3.
• Voice control not working: Verify that your Tuya Smart/Smart Life account is correctly linked to Alexa or Google Home. Check the device name in the app and use that exact name in your voice commands.
• Shutter stops prematurely or doesn't fully open/close: Adjust the motor travel duration in the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app settings.
• Cannot connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Check your Wi-Fi password. Move the module closer to your Wi-Fi router if signal is weak.
