Each channel is independent and separately controlled. The ELITE-L series Remote control system provides switched contacts and can therefore be used to switch most voltages be they AC or DC (see maximums on page 7) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Screw the antenna into the terminal (shown as ANT) through the top of the enclosure. Tighten the antenna to ensure a good seal - “finger tight” is sufficient, no tools should be used. Mount the ELITE system receiver box in the wall in your desired location (see Page 8 for wall mounting dimensions and information). Open the enclosure by removing fixing screws from the enclosure front and then removing the front from the enclosure. Wire either MAINS, LIVE, Neutral and Earth connections to the power supply screw terminal as shown below (shown as A). Or wire 12-32Vac or 12-32Vdc to the low voltage terminals. (shown as B) Wire your desired connections to the relay switches (shown as C) Once all required wiring is complete, use the handheld ELITE transmitter to switch the outputs on and off. As supplied, the handheld will operate the outputs - Button 1 to output 1, Button 2 to output 2 etc. All buttons will operate in a latching mode - Press for on, press again for off. It is possible to change the operation to momentary mode by fitting the links (shown as D) For advanced operation such as adding extra transmitters different button mapping options see Fig 1.1 DS-ELITE-L-3 PAGE 4 ELITE Low Voltage / Dry Contact Remote control System Advanced operation The ELITE system comes with one transmitter, this is already SYNC’ed and will operate the system out of the box. To AUTO-SYNC a new transmitter 1. To SYNC a new ELITE handheld transmitter to the receiver box - simply press the SYNC button on the ELITE receiver board. (see page 3 for button locations) 2. The ELITE receiver will flash all of its relay output LEDs at a high rate to show that it is ready for AUTO -SYNC. 3. Press ANY button on the transmitter handheld that you wish to SYNC to the receiver. 4. All flashing LEDs will go out, the SYNC LED will flash quickly for 2 seconds then go out. 5. The ELITE receiver will then exit SYNC mode and return to normal operating mode - you may now use the transmitter to switch the outputs. NOTE: Maximum 31 handhelds can be auto sync’ed. MANUAL-SYNC individual transmitter buttons (advanced) 1. To SYNC a specific ELITE handheld transmitter button to a specific output on the ELITE receiver box press the SYNC button on the ELITE receiver board. (see page 3 for button locations). 2. The ELITE receiver will flash all its relay output LEDs at a high rate to show that it is ready for SYNC. 3. Press the SYNC button again - the ELITE receiver will flash output LED 1 only - this is showing that output 1 is selected. Pressing the SYNC button again will select output 2 and so on, through to output 4. 4. Once you have selected the required output (that output LED only is flashing) press the SPECIFIC button on the transmitter handheld that you wish to SYNC to the receiver. 5. The flashing LEDs will go out, the SYNC LED will flash quickly for 2 seconds then go out. NOTE: After a successful pairing the Elite-RX will exit SYNC mode automatically. You cannot perform a SYNC ALL and a MANUAL SYNC on a single transmitter. Maximum of 31 BUTTONS can be auto sync’ed Erasing ALL transmitters: 1. 2. 3. 4. Open the case and apply power Press and hold the ERASE button for 10 seconds All relay LEDs flash together and then go out Erase complete, you can now follow the pairing process to pair your transmitters to the receiver. ERASE Individual Transmitters: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Open the case and apply power Press and release the ERASE button The LED next to ERASE should remain lit and all relay LEDs will be flashing Press any button on the transmitter to be erased All output LEDs will go out to show that the transmitter has been erased The ELITE will exit to normal operating mode Setting MOMENTARY / LATCHING links It is possible to set the relay switches on the ELITE receiver to either momentary or latching operation (Latching - one press for on, one press for off, Momentary - On while button is held only) 1. The Momentary/Latching Setting links are in the position shown as (D) on page 4. 2. To set a relay switch to momentary choose the associated link cap: Link fitted - MOMENTARY Link Removed - LATCHING 4. Re-apply the power to the ELITE-RX. Continued overleaf... DS-ELITE-L-3 PAGE 5 ELITE Low Voltage / Dry Contact Remote control System Advanced operation continued… TEST MODE The ELITE comes with an in-built test mode which allows a user to check the signal strength of any compatible handheld: 1. Press the TEST button on the PCB (see page 3 for button locations) 2. Press any button/activate the transmitter which you want to test 3. LEDs 1-8 will show a bar graph of the signal strength - the more LEDs flashing, the better the signal. 4. To exit test mode - press test again. Notes: - When in test mode the receiver still operates relays as normal. - For reliable communications please ensure at least 3 LED’s are lit. - Try the transmitter in the location where it will be used to make sure it will work once installation complete. TIMER SELECT MODE Note: As default all timers are set to 0 seconds. The ELITE has a timer option which can be set individually on each output. Meaning that you can set any output to de-activate after a different amount of time should you wish to. 1. To enter timer select mode - Press the TIMER button 2. Select your chosen output by pressing the TIMER button to scroll through each relay in turn 3. As soon as the LED for the required output stops flashing tap the TIMER button again 4. Each tap of the timer button will increase the timer delay in line with the table below 0 LED 0s 1 LED ½s 2 LED 5s 3 LED 10s 4 LED 30s 5 LED 1m 6 LED 10m 7 LED 30m 8 LED 1hr 5. When you have selected the required delay stop tapping and, wait 3 seconds. 6. The Red TIMER LED will flash to show that the setting is saved Note: Settings are saved even after power is removed. NOTE: When zero LED’s are lit the relays will operate as per the Momentary/latching links. TIMERS and MOMENTARY/LATCHING setting links 1. 2. When the momentary/latching setting link for a relay is set to MOMENTARY the timer will restart its count down every time a button is pressed. When the momentary/latching setting link for a relay is set to LATCHING, the relay will turn ON/OFF with each button press. If the relay is left ON it will turn off after the timer period expires. Erasing ALL Timers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Open the case and apply power Press and hold the TIMER button for 10 seconds, A single relay LED will be flashing When all Relay LED flash together and then go out the timer erase process is complete. All relays will operate as per their jumper settings.
