FIRETRAP
Features

Rugged radio remote control

One Transmitter can control many receivers

Waterproof receiver to IP68

Transmitters available with 1, 2, 3, 4, 16 Switches
Description
Supplied ready to operate the FIRETRAP system is designed for continuous operation 365
days of the year. This system incorporates IP68 rated enclosures with ‘resin dipped’ circuit
boards for protection against condensation.
Each receiver has four independent outputs which can easily be paired with individual
switches from one or many transmitters. Building a bespoke control system is easy with
transmitters containing up to 16 switches.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION:
This system is supplied complete with cable in order to connect to the Clay Trap Release.
Warning : Not all Clay Traps have the same wiring convention!
The system is pre-wired (as diagram below) to operate with most trap releases, before connecting, CHECK
YOUR CONNECTIONS. (using a voltmeter) if you are in any doubt, DO NOT CONNECT THE SYSTEM, consult a
qualified Electrician. Although the system operates on 12-30V DC damage may occur to the receiver unit if
wrong connections are made.
Installation Notes
An ideal installation would be to firmly fix the FIRETRAP-RX approx. 2 metres from the ground, in direct sight
of the transmitter. Lowering the height or having obstacles between transmitter and receiver will reduce
range!
Connecting Power to the Receiver unit
The receiver unit requires the following connections to operate:
- 12V supply (Brown wire as supplied)
- OV Supply (Yell/GRN wire as supplied)
When the Receiver unit has power connected the Power LED will illuminate. This must be ‘on’ for the system
to operate.
Note:
If you are pairing multiple transmitter i.e. If you have purchased receivers and transmitters separately. Follow
the procedure detailed on page 4 to configure your chosen system. FIRETRAP-S1 systems are sold pre-paired.

FIRETRAP Receiver Wiring
This diagram shows the standard
wiring configuration and may be
adapted to fit Traps requiring other
switching types.
FIRETRAP
Check the Wiring required for your Trap:
The FIRETRAP is capable of switching nearly any trap type, however wiring conventions vary between
manufacturers. The relays on the FIRETRAP can switch up to 24V DC or 230V AC @ 5A.
Additional Transmitters
Each transmitter has a unique identity. Each time a transmitter switch is operated, it transmits a secure
RF signal. The Receiver can to set learn this signal and pair it to any of its outputs.
To pair a New Transmitter switch follow this procedure:
Any transmitter button can be paired to one or many of the receiver output relays.
Each button must be paired to each relay individually by following this procedure:
Select the receiver output relay to pair:
1.
Briefly press the receiver pairing switch (S2) once.
2.
The Receiver pairing LED will flash once to indicate output relay 1 is selected.
3.
After the Receiver pairing LED stops flashing, press the receiver pairing switch again to select the
next relay.
4.
Repeat step 2 until the required output relay is selected.
5.
Press the button on the transmitter you want to pair to the selected relay.
6.
The receiver pairing LED will Flash once to confirm pairing is complete.
Erasing Receivers Memory
Press and hold the receiver pairing switch for approx 10 seconds.
Release the switch and watch for the receiver LED to flash to confirm erasing.
Press a button on the transmitter and ensure no relay actives
NOTE: You cannot erase individual transmitters or buttons
Configuring Receiver Relays
The link caps (shown above) configure the outputs operation. The these links are connected/broken using the small link cap placed over the pins. To “store” the setting turn power off then back on.
