Page 2 ‘FIRETRAP’ Radio Release 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. 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. 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. Note: If you are pairing multiple transmitter ie. 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. Alternative Wiring : The switched output may be connected in several ways, please see the ‘Relay Output Connections section. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

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 1. Press and hold the receiver pairing switch for approx 10 seconds. 2. Release the switch and watch for the receiver LED to flash to confirm erasing. 3. 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.
