Quick Installation Guide (systems only)
The SABRE system provides 4 switches each capable of switching up to 1.2KW (5A @ 230V). Each relay is
independent and separately controlled. The SABRE L series remote control system provides switched contacts
and can therefore be used to switch most voltages either AC or DC (see maximums on page 7)
1. First mount the SABRE system receiver box in the wall in your desired location (see Page 8 for wall
mounting dimensions and information).
2. Open the enclosure by removing fixing screws from the enclosure front and then removing the front
from the enclosure.
3. 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)
4. Wire your desired connections to the relay switches (shown as C)
5. Once all required wiring is complete, use the handheld SABRE transmitter to switch the outputs on and
off.
6. As supplied, the handheld will operate the outputs - Button 1 to output 1, Button 2 to output 2 etc.
7. 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)
8. For advanced operation such as adding extra transmitters, different button mapping options see
advanced operation section.

Advanced operation
The SABRE system comes with one transmitter, this is already ‘SYNCed’ and will
operate the system out of the box.
To AUTO-SNYC a new transmitter
1. To SYNC a new SABRE handheld transmitter to the receiver box - simply press the SNYC 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 SNYC 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 SABRE handheld transmitter button to a specific output on the ELITE receiver box -
press the SNYC 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 out-
put 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 SNYC 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-RXL 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. Open the case and apply power
2. Press and hold the ERASE button for 10 seconds
3. All relay LEDs flash together and then go out
4. Erase complete, you can now follow the pairing process to pair your transmitters to the receiver.
ERASE Individual Transmitters:
1. Open the case and apply power
2. Press and release the ERASE button
3. The LED next to ERASE should remain lit and all relay LEDs will be flashing
4. Press any button on the transmitter to be erased
5. All output LEDs will go out to show that the transmitter has been erased
6. 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-RXL.

TEST MODE
The ELITE Receiver 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 on the better the signal
TIP: Try the transmitter in the location where it will be used to make sure it will work once installation is com-
plete.
Note: When in test mode and paired transmitter will still activate its relay.
For reliable communications please ensure at least 3 LED’s are lit.
TIMER SELECT MODE
The ELITE Receiver 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
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. When the LED for the required output is flashing wait until it becomes solidly LIT
4. Press the TIMER button again to increase the timer delay in line with the table below
5. When you have selected the required delay, wait 3 seconds. The Red TIMER LED will flash to show that
the setting is saved
Note: Settings are saved even after power is removed.
As default all timers are set to 0 seconds.
NOTE: When zero LED’s are lit the relays will operate as per the jumper links. Momentary or latching
As default all relay switches are latching.
TIMERS in MOMENTARY/LATCHING
1. When a relay is set to MOMENTARY a timer will restart it’s count down each time a button is pressed.
2. When a relay is set to LATCHING the relay will turn ON/OFF on each button press and the timer will
count down will start when a relay is left in the ON position, dropping the relay after the timer period
expires.
Erasing ALL Timers:
1. Open the case and apply power
2. Press and hold the TIMER button for 10 seconds,
3. A single relay LED will be flashing
4. When all Relay LED flash together and then go out the timer erase process is complete.
5. All relays will operate as per their jumper settings.
