Wall On/Off Module
The In-Wall On/Off Module is designed to turn on/off lighting and appliances in the home by wireless control
via SmartForce system. On it, two sets of switch contacts provide connection to external wall switches to
allow ordinary manual control. This module can support up to 11A resistive, 1200W incandescent or 320W
(40W*8) fluorescent load.
The ASFRM will need to be learnt to the SmartForce Gateway.
LEARNING ASFRM Module
Please refer to Smart Force Quick Set Up Guide. The easiest way to learn the device is either via through
the Smart Force Web Site or Smart Force App once you have completed the System Registration,
System/Add Device and then follow the on screen instructions.
Product Overview
Safety Precautions before Installation
Avoid installing the unit in stormy or raining weather.
The module needs to be installed in a dry environment free from moisture
Be sure to isolate or switch off mains power before installing or maintenance.
 Do ensure that the power supply circuit is protected by a 16 amp circuit breaker or suitable equivalent fuse.
IMPORTANT
Installation must be performed by a skilled person who is familiar with the appropriate standards and
technical requirements of the appliance and its proper installation.Note that the In-Wall On/Off Module
is designed to be installed in a wall switch box or suitable plastic enclosure (do not use a metal box as
this will affect the radio signal strength).
Before proceeding with the installation, TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE WALL SWITCH AT THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Installation
Fix the module bracket securely inside the enclosure, then clip the module in to the bracket
Locating the aerial outside the enclosure may increase the RF rage.
The in-wall module should be connected up to AC mains and the load according to the following diagram.
When connecting the L terminal, it is recommended to use an external terminal block to first split the L
terminal into two wires before inserting into the module as shown below.
Note: Please use the appropriate size cable to suit the circuit and load
The module provides 2 sets of switch contact input S1 and S2. Both input terminals connect to typical
mechanical type wall switches to turn on/off the relay. Input S2 is optional and will toggle the on/off status by
S1.
Note: By default S1/S2 supports Single-Pole-Double-Throw (SPDT) type of binary switch. However, through
the setting of Gateway or using the On/Off button, they can be configured to support Tact/Push-button
switches as well. See the Operation section.

Initial Power Up
When the unit is first powered up and if not already paired then it will immediately enter auto-learning mode
in an attempt to pair with SmartForce Gateway. This will last for 30 seconds. If the auto-learning is successful,
the unit’s ID code will be learned and recognized by the SmartForce gateway automatically.
If the SmartForce gateway is not present and the auto-learning period expires, the LED on the unit will flash
slowly, implying that the unit has not paired and will not work. Note: Auto-learning can be restarted again
by disconnecting and reconnecting power to the unit.
Pressing the On/Off button at anytime will control the On/Off status of the connected lamps/appliances
directly except during the Auto-learning period.
Manual learning of ID Code
If auto-binding times out, the module can be set into manual learning mode using the On/Off button:
(1) Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds until the LED flashes moderately. A 30-second
countdown will start. The unit is ready to pair with SmartForce gateway.
(2) If the module learns the ID code properly, the LED indication will stop flashing. If the LED flashes rapidly
3 times, this indicates the unit fails to pair after the 30 second timer is up.
(3) To exit the learning mode at anytime, press the On/Off button and the LED will flash rapidly 3 times.
Note : Pairing data are stored in inside the module’s non-volatile memory and is not lost during power-off
period.
Operation
Under normal operation mode, press the On/Off button on the unit to turn on/off the connected load. The
LED indicator will also turn on or off accordingly. A message will be sent to the Gateway each time when the
module is manually turned on or off.
The unit can be controlled by receiving command signals from the SmartForce gateway. The LED indicator
will also turn on or off accordingly.
When the module is powered up again, usually after a power-cut, a message will be sent to gateway for its
status.
To change the manual switch input S1/S2 from “binary switch mode ” to “tact switch mode” or vice versa,
press the On/Off button 3 times within 1.5 seconds. The led will flash 3 times indicating change is complete.
Troubleshooting

Reset to factory default
To reset the module back to factory default state:
(1) Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds until the LED flashes moderately. Release the button.
(2) Within 30 seconds, press and hold the On/Off button for more than 6 seconds until the LED turns on for
about 3 seconds. This indicates the reset is complete. The LED will blink every 2 seconds indicating no
paired ID code is stored its memory.
