1. Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your QIACHIP Wireless Light Switch (Model KR2201GS). This product allows for convenient wireless control of lighting fixtures, offering flexibility in switch placement without the need for extensive wiring modifications. It features a 433MHz RF wall transmitter and a 10A RF relay receiver controller, suitable for lamps up to 1500W.
2. Product Overview
The QIACHIP Wireless Light Switch system consists of two main components: a wireless wall panel transmitter and a compact RF receiver.
Figure 2.1: Wireless Wall Panel Switch and RF Receiver.
Key Features:
- Wireless Control: Operate lights remotely using the wall panel transmitter.
- Two Wiring Methods: Supports direct connection to the light or integration with existing traditional toggle switches.
- Easy Installation: No wiring required between the light and the switch. The 86-type panel can be mounted with double-sided adhesive or screws.
- Strong RF Signal: 433MHz radio control allows signal transmission through walls, floors, and doors, with an open-space range of approximately 25 meters.
- High Load Capacity: Suitable for lamps up to 1500W.
- Compact Design: Mini receiver dimensions (40x40x21 mm) allow for easy concealment in electrical or junction boxes.
- Expandable System: Each receiver can pair with up to 10 wireless switches, and one transmitter can control multiple receivers.

3. Safety Information
- Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before installing or servicing any electrical components.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician if you are unsure about electrical wiring.
- Ensure the receiver's voltage and current ratings (AC 90V-250V, 10A) are compatible with your lighting fixture.
- Do not reverse the live and neutral phases during wiring, as this can cause a short circuit.
- Keep the product away from water and high humidity environments.
4. Installation
The QIACHIP Wireless Light Switch offers flexible installation options. Please follow the wiring diagrams carefully.
4.1. Wiring Methods for the RF Receiver
The receiver supports two primary wiring configurations:
- Direct Control (No 'S' Wire Connection): The receiver is connected directly to the light fixture. The wireless wall panel transmitter will be the sole control for the light.
- Compatible with Traditional Switches (Using 'S' Wire): The receiver is connected to both the light fixture and an existing traditional toggle switch. This allows for both wireless control and control via the original wall switch.
Figure 4.1: Two Wiring Methods.
4.2. Physical Installation
- Receiver Installation: The compact size of the receiver allows it to be hidden within most electrical boxes, junction boxes, or behind the light fixture itself. Ensure proper wiring according to the chosen method (Figure 4.1).
- Wireless Switch Installation: The wall panel transmitter requires no wiring. It can be mounted in any desired position using the provided double-sided adhesive tape or by screwing it to the wall.
Figure 4.2: Receiver Installation Example.
5. Operation
After successful installation, the wireless switch and receiver need to be paired. The receiver supports different operating modes.
5.1. Pairing Modes
The receiver has a small button for programming. Press this button a specific number of times to enter different modes, then pair with the transmitter.
- Self-locking Mode (Toggle): Press the receiver's programming button 2 times. The indicator light will flash. Once it stops, press the desired button on your wireless transmitter. This mode means one press turns the light ON, the next press turns it OFF.
- Interlock Mode: Press the receiver's programming button 3 times. The indicator light will flash. Once it stops, press the desired button on your wireless transmitter. In this mode, if you have multiple buttons on your transmitter, pressing one button turns a specific light ON, and pressing another button turns that light OFF (or another light ON, turning the first one OFF).
- Momentary Mode: Press the receiver's programming button 4 times. The indicator light will flash. Once it stops, press the desired button on your wireless transmitter. In this mode, the light will stay ON only as long as the transmitter button is pressed.
5.2. Resetting the Receiver
To clear all paired transmitters from the receiver, press the receiver's programming button 8 times. The indicator light will flash to confirm the reset.
5.3. Multiple Control Scenarios
The QIACHIP system is highly flexible and supports various control configurations:
- Multiple Switches Control One Light: Pair several wireless transmitters to a single receiver to control one light from multiple locations.
- One Switch Controls One Light: A single wireless transmitter controls a single light via its dedicated receiver.
- One Switch Controls Multiple Lights: Pair a single wireless transmitter to multiple receivers to control several lights simultaneously.

6. Maintenance
6.1. Wireless Switch Battery Replacement
The wireless wall panel transmitter is powered by a CR2032 lithium battery. When the switch's indicator light dims or it becomes unresponsive, it's time to replace the battery. To replace, carefully open the switch panel to access the battery compartment and insert a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
7. Troubleshooting
- Light not responding to switch:
- Check if the receiver is properly wired and receiving power.
- Ensure the wireless switch battery is not depleted.
- Re-pair the wireless switch with the receiver following the pairing instructions in Section 5.1.
- Verify that the wireless switch is within the effective range of the receiver (approx. 25 meters in open space).
- Light remains ON or OFF:
- Check the selected pairing mode (Self-locking, Interlock, Momentary) and ensure it matches your intended operation.
- If using with a traditional switch, ensure the 'S' wire connection is correct and the traditional switch is functioning properly.
- Interference issues:
- While the 433MHz signal is strong, extreme interference from other RF devices might occur. Try relocating the receiver or the transmitter slightly.
