waterproof IP68 enclosure.
The ELITE remote control system has been designed with the
requirements of electricians in mind. Therefore it can be used to switch all
lighting types as well as other applications such as, Water
Features, Electric gates and Garage Doors.
Using our one touch ‘easy-learn’ process each relay can be controlled from
any switch on any compatible transmitter.
Thanks to the latest technology each of the outputs on the ELITE
receiver can be set to operate in a timed, momentary or latching mode for
complete flexibility.

ELITE KIT Remote Control System
Quick Installation Guide (systems only)
The ELITE system provides switches each capable of switching up to 1KW ( A @ 230V). Each channel is inde-
pendent and separately fused. The ELITE Remote control system provides 230V mains switched outputs via each
terminal.
To install the ELITE System:
1. Screw the antenna into the terminal (shown as ANT) through the top of the enclosure. Tighten the
antenna to ensure a good seal - “finger tight” is sufficient, no tools should be used.
2. Mount the ELITE system receiver box in the wall in your desired location (see Page 8 for wall mounting
dimensions and information).
3. Open the enclosure by removing fixing screws from the enclosure front and then removing the front
from the enclosure.
4. Wire the Live, Neutral and Earth connections to the power supply screw terminal as shown below
(shown as A).
5. Wire your load(s) as required (shown as B)
6. Once all required wiring is complete, use the handheld ELITE transmitter to switch the outputs on and
off.
7. As supplied the handheld will operate the outputs - Button 1 to output 1, Button 2 to output 2 etc.
8. 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 C) over both pins.
9. For advanced operation such as adding extra transmitters different button mapping options see
advanced operation section.

The SQUIDBOARD is very simple to connect and use. Wire a switch to either one or oth of
the inputs and close the contact to send a signal. As default the SQUIDBOARD is designed
for use with 2 way switches—to change the state of a receiver like a light switch.
1. Strip off plastic
Strip off the plastic from the outputs which will
e used. Approximately 10mm or more
depending on switch used.
2.
Position board to suit application
All of the legs can e ent and moved to help the compo-
nent fit into any switch, Once all wired-in outputs have een
connected, position any idle legs so the switch facial can fit
into it’s enclosure.
3.
Insert wires into the chosen screw terminals
Simply insert the wire into the terminal and hold in place
y screwing tight.
Connect the battery
The SQUIDBOARD comes with a connector for 2 x AAA ut
can e run from any voltage etween 4.5-12Vdc.
4.
5. Fix the facia to the backbox
Place attery and SQUIDBOARD inside the
enclosure of the switch and screw closed.

ELITE KIT Remote Control System
Advanced operation
The ELITE system comes with one transmitter, this is already PAIRED and will operate the
system out of the box.
To AUTO PAIR a new transmitter
1. To PAIR a new ELITE handheld transmitter to the receiver box - simply press the SYNC 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 PAIRED to the receiver.
. 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 pairing mode and return to normal operating mode - you may now use the
transmitter to switch the outputs.
NOTE: Maximum 31 handhelds can be auto paired.
MANUAL PAIR individual transmitter buttons (advanced)
1. To PAIR a specific ELITE handheld transmitter button to a specific output on the ELITE receiver box - press
the SYNC 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 pairing.
3. Press the SYNC button again - the ELITE receiver will flash output LED 1 only - this is showing that output 1
is selected. Pressing the SYNC button again will select output 2 and so on, through to output .
. 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 pair 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-RX will exit pairing mode automatically.
You cannot perform an AUTO PAIR and a MANUAL PAIR on a single transmitter.
Maximum of 31 BUTTONS can be auto paired
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
. 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 flash and all relay LEDs will be flashing
. 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 (C) on page 4.
2. To set a relay switch to momentary choose the associated link cap:
Link fitted - MOMENTARY
Link Removed - LATCHING
. Re-apply the power to the ELITE-RX.
NOTE: When using with the SQUIDBOARD outputs must be momentary.

TEST MODE
The ELITE 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 flashing, the better the signal.
. To exit test mode - press test again.
NOTES: - When in test mode the receiver still operates relays as normal.
- For reliable communications please ensure at least 3 LED’s are lit.
- Try the transmitter in the location where it will be used to make sure it will work once
installation complete.
TIMER SELECT MODE
NOTE: As default all timers are set to 0 seconds.
The ELITE 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 to.
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. As soon as the LED for the required output stops flashing tap the TIMER button again
. Each tap of the timer button will increase the timer delay in line with the table below
5. When you have selected the required delay stop tapping and, wait 3 seconds.
6. The Red TIMER LED will flash to show that the setting is saved
NOTE: Settings are saved even after power is removed.
NOTE: When zero LED’s are lit the relays will operate as per the Momentary/latching links.
TIMERS and MOMENTARY/LATCHING setting links
1. When the momentary/latching setting link for a relay is set to MOMENTARY the timer will restart its count
down every time a button is pressed.
2. When the momentary/latching setting link for a relay is set to LATCHING, the relay will turn ON/OFF with
each button press. If the relay is left ON it will turn off 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
. 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.
