INTRODUCTION
The wireless Remote Controlled Switch allows you to turn your Cosmo, Cosmo Mini or Starlink Integration Kit on and off with the use of a simple remote. The Starlink system continues to consume power when idle or in sleep mode, so it is recommended to turn the system off completely when not in use. With the Remote Controlled Switch you are able to mount the Cosmo, Cosmo Mini or Starlink Integration Kit in a location not easily accessible, but still retain the ability to turn the unit On and Off when required.

INSTALLATION
The 12 volt feed (from the battery or fuse panel) is connected to the input terminals on the Remote Controlled Switch. The power lead for the Cosmo, Cosmo Mini or Starlink Integration Kit is connected to the output terminals on the Remote Controlled Switch. For ease of installation, 4 spade terminals are included that can be crimped to the feed and output leads. IMPORTANT: Insufficient power supply to the COSMO, COSMO Mini, or Starlink integration Kit, due to inadequate cable size, long cable runs, or piggy backing of existing power outlets can result in the Starlink system not booting up. See Troubleshooting for more information.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure that the positive (+) and Negative (-) wires are connected to the Switching Unit in line with the labelling on the unit, as there are multiple configurations of the Switching Unit available. The Remote Controlled Switch can be secured to a wall through the panel mount holes.

OPERATION
The Remote Controlled Switch comes with 2 remotes that are already paired to the Switching Unit. The remotes are setup for Dual button (latched mode) switching, meaning that the ON button on the remote turns the switch ON, and the OFF button turns the switch OFF. When the Switching Unit is turned ON, the LED will light up red. When the unit is turned off the LED will also turn off.
When power in the caravan is turned off, by placing the main isolator switch for the caravan in the OFF position, the Switching Unit will turn off as well. This means that when the caravans main isolator is returned to the ON position, the Remote Controlled Switch will remain OFF, until it is turned ON via the remote.
The learning button on the Switching Unit is used to pair the switch with a new remote, or an existing remote after replacing the battery. To pair a remote: · Press the learning button 3 times. The LED indicator will flash each time
you press the learning button. · Press the ON button on the remote, the LED indicator on the switching
unit will flash once. · Press the OFF button on the remote, the LED indicator on the switching
unit will flash once. Your remote is now paired to the Switching Unit.
The previously paired remotes can also be deleted from the switching units memory. Press and hold the learn button for 8 seconds to clear the memory.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to install a fuse? Yes, a fuse should be installed between the power source (battery) and the Remote Controlled Switch. The size of the fuse should be correctly matched to the size of the electrical cabling and the power demand of the connected appliance (Cosmo, Cosmo Mini or Starlink Integration Kit).
Can I use the Remote Controlled Switch on the output side of the Cosmo or Cosmo Mini, instead of the input side? Yes, this is possible, however it is advised to use the Remote Controlled Switch on the input side of the Cosmo or Cosmo Mini to reduce any electrical load when not in use.
Can I use the Remote Controlled Switch for other appliances? Yes, the Remote Controlled Switch can be used for any application, as long as the device does not draw a current greater than 30A, and has an operating voltage between 8 volt and 86 volt (DC).
Up to what distance can I use the remote? The remotes can be used up to a distance of 100 metres, but this will depend on obstructions in between the Switching Unit and the Remote. For optimum range ensure that the antenna on the Switching Unit has been extended.
Will the Remote Controlled Switch interfere with other remote controlled systems? No, the Switching Unit and Remotes need to be paired for them to communicate with each other. Remotes and appliances that are not paired with the Remote Controlled Switch will not be turned ON or OFF by using the Remote Controlled Switch

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Remote Control LED does not light up. If the LED on the Remote Control does not light up when the ON or OFF button is pressed, please check the battery in the unit and replace if required.
The Remote Control does not turn the Switching Unit ON or OFF. If the Switching Unit is not operated when the ON or OFF button on the Remote Control is pressed, please check that the remote control is wirelessly linked to the switching unit and if required re-link the Remote Control.
The power LED on COSMO, COSMO Mini or the Starlink Integration Kit does not light up. If the power LED does not light up it means that there is no power coming to COSMO, COSMO Mini or Starlink Integration Kit. Please check the the ON/ OFF switch on the COSMO, COSMO Mini or Starlink Integration Kit is in the ON position. Check the power cables and ensure that they are connected properly. Check if the power input cables are fused, and if the fuse is still in working condition.
The Starlink system is not powering on. Confirm that the Power LED on the Remote Controlled Switch and Cosmo, Cosmo Mini or Starlink integration Kit are both on. If both LEDs are on, but the Dishy is not powering up there is potentially a power supply fault, due to insufficient power supply to the 12v Dishy unit. Ensure that the electrical cable size is adequate for the cable length and that the power is supplied directly from the 12V battery system, not from an existing power point in the caravan. Cigarette socket power points can have long cable runs, smaller electrical cabling, or wired in series, resulting in a power drop.
