RF Pilot User’s Manual
Before You Start...
The User’s Manual provides information for the installation and use of the device. The Manual is always included in the
package. The device may only be installed and connected by persons with requisite professional qualications who have become
thoroughly familiarized with this Manual and the functions of the device. Trouble-free operation also depends on the previous method
of transportation, storage and handling. Should you become aware of any signs of damage, deformation, malfunction or of any
missing parts, do not install this product and return it to the vendor. After the expiry of its service life, the product and all its parts
must be disposed of as electronic waste. With consideration to the transmission of the RF signal, ensure that RF components are
suitably located in the building where the device is to be installed. The RF Control system must only be installed in indoor areas. The
device has not been designed for outdoor use or use in moist environment, it must not be installed in metal distribution boxes and
plastic distribution boxes with metal doors as this would prevent the transmission of the radio frequency signal. RF Control is not
recommended for the control of devices providing for vital life functions or for the control of risk devices such as lifts, pulleys etc. - radio
frequency transmission could be hampered with an obstacle, interfered with, the transmitter battery may become depleted etc. thus
disabling the remote control. Not suitable for use in industrial environment.
