1. Introduction
The UHF radio system consists of a radio transmitter and one or several receivers.
The operating frequency of the system is 433.92 MHz.
The radio remote has two different Modes, which can be changed easily
whenever neccessary (see point 3.2.3):
In the Standard-Mode “Press and release“ the machine will be triggered to run
as long as the button is held down. If the button is released, the machine will
stop working.
In the “On / Off“-Mode, the machine will be activated by pressing the pro-
grammed Start-button shortly and deactivated by pressing the programmed Stop-
button.
The radio transmitter allows you to address four channels which can either be
four individual receivers or four receiving groups. The number of the receivers
per channel is not limited.
One receiver can save up to six configurations. The “On“- and “Off“-buttons
can be also configurated.
Thus, the permanent pressing of the button at the transmitter is no longer
neccessary. The machine can now be activated by pressing button 1 briefly and
can be deactivated by pressing button 3, depending on which buttons have been
configured.
The transmitter of the original Look radio remote is compatible with the new
receivers.
The receiver of the original is incompatible with the new transmitter!
The transmitter is supplied with the first button pre-programmed, allowing
the radio remote to be used immediately.

2. The Transmitter
2.1 Operation
The radio transmitter is supplied in a usable state with the battery already
installed.
To transmit press one of the four buttons (1, 2, 3 or 4). If the key is pressed too
briefly, the receiver ignores the command. For receiving several consecutive code
cycles must be received and identical before a command is recognized as valid.
While sending the signal, the transmitter should be in your hand and pointed
away from your body. If your hand cover the integrated antenna, or you approach
a large metal surface/area, the range may be reduced. This should therefore be
avoided.
The radio remote is supplied with the first button pre-programmed and the
connected machine will be activated by pressing this button, running as long as
the button is held down. Buttons two to four have no function yet.
The configuring and also the deleting of the configuring will be described in
chapter 3.1 to 3.3.

2. The Transmitter
Code when delivered
(all switches with even figures in position “on“)
2.3 Replacing the battery
The transmitter can be coded individually. This can be helpful if several trans-
mitters with the same frequency (433.92 MHz) are being used in the same area.
The receiver will only react to the signal of the coded transmitter and cannot be
activated from a second transmitter.
Please note: The receiver will save the code of the transmitter and need not to
be coded itself.
All previous configurings of the buttons should be deleted, in advance, to enable
all buttons to work with the new code from the transmitter (see chapter 3.3).
The system offers 1024 coding options. The setting is made by means of DIP
switches. Each of the 10 switches has two operating positions: on and off.
When delivered the switches with even numbers are in position “on“.
To change the coding set by the factory, open the apparatus by loosening the
screw with a suitable screwdriver and dismantle the two halves of the casing.
Using a ball-point pen you can now set your individual code.
Please note: The coding of the smaller, 4-position DIP switch must never be
changed!

The life of the battery depends on the use of the radio transmitter. If the range
is strongly reduced or transmission is not possible, the battery must be replaced.
Only use standard 12 V-alkaline batteries.
Loosen the screw with a suitable screwdriver and dismantle the two halves of
the casing. Remove the used-up battery and insert the new one. Pay attention to
polarity and test contact of the battery by trying to transmit.

Solutions made in Germany
The receiver is equipped with a stereo jack plug [1] or a 3-pin-XLR-plug (it
depends on which machine it controls) and a short wire antenna [2].
Insert the plug [1] into the corresponding socket of the machine to gain control.
The receiver now has the neccessary power from the machine and is ready for
operation.
Pressing of button 1 of the radio transmitter now starts the fogging process.
Please note: The antenna should be in upright position and should not be
concealed by conductive objects.

3.2 Configuring the buttons
Due to the option to also configure “Off“-buttons, the radio remote has two
different modes:
In the Standard-Mode “Press and release“ the triggered machine runs as long
as the button is held down. If the button is released, the machine stops working.
In the “On / Off“-Mode, the triggered machine will be activated by pressing
the programmed Start-button briefly and deactivated by pressing the pro-
grammed Stop-button.
Thus, the permanent pressing of the button at the transmitter is no longer
neccessary. The machine can now be activated by pressing button one and can be
deactivated by pressing button 3, depending on which buttons have been
programmed.
The receiver can save up to six configurations.
Should several units be required to be addressed on the same or different
buttons (1,2, 3 or 4), the receiver has to be configured again.
The transmitter is supplied with the first button pre-programmed. Thus, the
radio remote can be used immediately.

a) Open the receiver by removing the cover plate. This is only snapped together
and can usually be taken off without any tool. A slim slot screwdriver also
enables you to remove the cover.
b) Connect the receiver to the machine.
c) To start the configuration, press the black Configuration-button [1] briefly.
The yellow LED [2] flashes.
Press the button on the transmitter that shall be configured. If the configu-
ration is successful, the yellow LED [2] lights up permanently.
The connected machine will now run as long as the configured button at the
transmitter is held down.
The procedure can now be repeated if the configuration of further buttons is
required for the same receiver. Up to six buttons can be saved for one receiver. If
more then six buttons are configured, the previous configurations will be
overwritten.
You can configure several receivers on the same button. All receivers will then
be activated at the same time and for the same running period.
If the receivers should react on different buttons, repeat the above mentioned
procedure for each receiver, always configuring a different button at the trans-
mitter as the Start-button.
3.2.2 Configure the buttons in the Standard-Mode “Press and release“
The transmitter will be delivered with the first button pre-programmed as the
Start-button. The machine will run as long as this button is held down.
Please note: All pre-programmed configurations (button 1 = Start-button) should
be deleted (see point 3.3) before you start to configure the other buttons, unless
you want to use the first button as a Start-button.

3. The Receiver
a) Open the receiver by removing the cover plate. This is only snapped together
and can usually be taken off without any tool. A slim slot screwdriver also
enables you to remove the cover.
b) Remove the red Jumper [3]. To avoid the loss of the Jumper, replace it shifted
in a way, that one of the legs will stay uncovered as shown above.
c) Connect the receiver to the machine.
d) To start the configuration, press the black Configuration-button [1] briefly.
The yellow LED [2] flashes. Press the button at the transmitter that shall be
configured. If the configuration is successful, the yellow LED [2] lights up
permanently. The connected machine can now be deactivated with the
configured button.
The receiver changes into the On/Off-Mode by changing the position of the red
Jumper [3].
Those buttons already configured in the Standard-Mode will automatically be
recognized as Start-buttons. Buttons configured in the On/Off-Mode will be Stop-
buttons.
Therefore, the machine can be activated by pressing the configured Start-button
briefly. It is not neccessary to hold the button constantly. The configured Stop-
button can be pressed briefly to deactivate the machine.
Please note: The red Jumper [3] must be placed shifted for the On/Off-Mode to
remain activated. As soon as the red Jumper is replaced to its original position,
the Standard-Mode (Press and release) will automatically be re-activated!
This deactivates the configuration of the Stop-buttons but does not delete their
function. As soon as the Jumper is placed shifted again, the configured Stop-
buttons are reactivated.

3. The Receiver
The procedure can now be repeated if the configuration of further buttons is
requested for the same receiver. Up to six buttons can be saved for one receiver.
If more then six buttons will be configured, the previous configurations will be
overwritten.
You can configure several receivers on the same button. All receivers will then
be activated at the same time and for the same running period.
If the receivers should react on different buttons, repeat the above mentioned
procedure for each receiver, always configuring a different button at the
transmitter as the Stop-button.
3.3 Deleting the configuration of the buttons
To delete all configurations press and hold the black Configuration-button [1]
for more than three seconds, until the yellow LED [2] lights up permanently. All
configurations have now been deleted.
Please note: All configurations will be deleted, both Start and Stop, no matter
which Mode is currently activated.

4. System Range
The radio remote control is designed for a long range of 100 meters if conditions
are ideal. The manual transmitter even passes through walls or reinforced concrete
constructions. The maximum range is achieved only in case of visual contact with
the receiver and with no radio-frequency interference.
Possible causes for reduced range:
•Building/Construction of any kind or vegetation affect the range.
•The distance of the transmitter to the body as well as the distance of the receiver
to other conducting areas or objects (the soil included) affects strongly the
radiation characteristic and thus influences the range.
•The antenna of the receiver should be placed upright and be vertical from the
control unit. Winding the antenna reduces the range.
•An antenna extension lead always causes an insertion loss and consequently
reduces the received power.
•Radio noise in metropolitan areas can be relatively high, through which the
signal-to-noise becomes reduced and thus the range is limited. If another unit
using the same frequency is in operation near by, the radio receiver will not
work or it will not receive the correct code.
•When the receiver is operated near poorly-shielded personal computers (and
with most personal computers this is the case) or similar units which produce
radio interference, significant range reductions can also occur or even result in
the total disturbance of the receiver.
•No adjustments should be carried out to the transmitter or the receiver.
