ELKO EP RFGB-40/MT Glass Touch Controller

Product Overview

The ELKO EP RFGB-40/MT is an elegant glass touch controller designed for smart home automation. It features a slim profile, measuring only 8 mm in width, and is available in black or white glass variants.

This controller communicates using the Thread protocol, ensuring compatibility with other Matter-enabled devices. It offers 4 capacitive buttons, allowing users to control up to 4 independent devices or functions. Each button press (short or long) sends a set command, indicated by a red LED.

Installation is versatile, with a flat mounting base that supports mounting with screws, double-sided tape, or simply placing it on a table.

Power is supplied by two CR2032 batteries, offering an estimated lifespan of approximately 2 years depending on usage frequency. The device has a wireless range of up to 200 meters in open space.

Pairing the controller with actuators is achieved through a Matter-supporting border router (e.g., Apple HomePod Mini, Google Nest Hub, Samsung SmartThings Station) and a compatible Matter application.

Important Safety and Installation Guidelines

This instruction manual is intended for qualified installers and end-users. Installation and connection should only be performed by persons with adequate professional qualifications, who have read and understood this manual and observe all valid regulations.

General Safety Precautions:

• Ensure all wires and terminals are de-energized before starting installation.
• Never touch parts of the device that are energized, as this poses a risk of electric shock.
• The device is designed for indoor use only and must not be installed in humid spaces.
• Avoid installing in metal switchboards or plastic switchboards with metal doors, as this can impede RF signal transmission.
• Do not use RF Control for critical life-support or high-risk devices such as pumps, unthermostatted electric heaters, elevators, or hoists, as signal interference or battery depletion could disable remote control.
• Handle the product and its parts as electronic waste at the end of its lifecycle.

RF Signal Considerations:

Due to RF signal transmission, ensure correct placement of RF components within the building. Signal quality and strength depend on surrounding materials and placement. Avoid strong sources of radiofrequency interference.
