ProxiSwitch v2 User Manual
Product: "INVISIBLE" SWITCH - ELECTRIC DEVICES TOUCHLESS CONTROL (12-24V)
SAFETY RULES
- Do not connect the device to loads exceeding the permitted values.
- Connect only in accordance with the diagram presented in the manual. Improper connections may be dangerous, it can damage the controller, and loss of the warranty.
- [Warning] Risk of electric shock! Even with the device turned off, the outputs may be live. All assembly work should be ALWAYS performed with the disconnected power circuit.
- The installation of the device to a power mains that does not meet the quality requirements defined by EN 50081-1, EN 50082-1, UL508, EN 60950, will result in the loss of the warranty.
INSTALLATION - BASICS
[Important] Disconnect supply voltage circuit before installing the controller. Remember that any mounting works should be carried out when the main voltage is disconnected (switch off the mains fuse or disconnect the power supply from the socket).
The controller should be installed in a place protected against adverse environmental conditions, protected from third party access. It is recommended that the device be mounted in a stable and fixed position.
Familiarize yourself with the diagram and then proceed with the installation of the controller. Pay special attention to the designation of the controller connectors. Start by connecting the power wires: (+) (red or black with a white dotted line) and (-) (black).
Connect the LED strip (paying attention to the polarity). The device is equipped with two stripes of double-sided adhesive tape on the bottom side. Before sticking the controller, clean and dry the surface where it will be adhered. Remove the protective film, adhere in the chosen place and hold for a few seconds. When choosing the mounting location, remember that the device detects the hand only from the side of the adhesive tape.
The device should be adhered to a non-conductive surface, e.g. furniture board, tile, etc. If the device is not stably fixed or mounted near metal elements, it may not work properly.
Each time the power source is connected, the device performs the auto-calibration process within the first 15 seconds. During this time, do not place your hand or any conductive objects near the device, as this will affect the calibration process.
[Information] If during the normal operation the device reacts incorrectly, force the auto-calibration process by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply to the controller. Remember that after connecting the power supply do not put your hand near the controller for the first 15 seconds!
CONNECTION DIAGRAMS
General diagram of connection to the 12-24V DC device:
This diagram illustrates connecting a 110/230V power supply to the ProxiSwitch v2 device. The device accepts 12-24V DC input and provides 12-24V DC output. It is CE marked and manufactured in Europe.
General scheme of connection to the LED strip 12-24V DC:
This diagram shows the ProxiSwitch v2 connected between a 110/230V power supply and an LED strip. The device manages the 12-24V DC power flow to the LED strip.
Touch button - proxiSwitch v2 + switchBoxDC:
This connection shows a 110/230V power supply powering the ProxiSwitch v2. The ProxiSwitch v2 then connects to a switchBoxDC device, which is also 12-24V DC and CE marked.
Touch button - proxiSwitch v2 + wLightBoxS v2:
This diagram depicts a 110/230V power supply connected to the ProxiSwitch v2. The ProxiSwitch v2 is subsequently linked to a wLightBoxS v2 device, which operates on 12-24V DC and carries CE marking.
CONTROL
To turn on / off the LED strip, close your hand to the controller.
The device can operate in four operating modes:
- Bistable without memory: After switching on the power supply, the output is switched off. Each time you close your hand, the output changes state. When the power supply is disconnected and reconnected, the output will always be off.
- Bistable with memory: After switching on the power supply, the output state depends on the state before the power loss (the last state is remembered 5 seconds after its last change). Each time you close your hand, the output state changes.
- Monostable NO (Normally Open): After turning on the power, the output is in the off state. It turns on when you close your hand.
- Monostable NC (Normally Closed): When the power is turned on, the output is also on. It turns off when you close your hand.
To change the operating mode of the device, follow the steps below:
- Turn on the power, wait 5 seconds until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
- Turn on the power, wait 10 seconds until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
- Turn on the power, wait 15 seconds until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
- Turn on the power. Select the mode by placing your hand close to the controller. Each time you close your hand, the number of LED flashes indicates the selected mode.
- Wait 10 seconds after the last movement until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
- After reconnecting the power supply, the device starts to work in the newly selected mode.
