QS-RIOT-MINIHUB-1
Stage 6 Direct Control Local RF Receiver Relay Switching
This Feature commands the RIoT Sensor/Switch to
automatically send an RF Signal to local RF Receiver(s) when a
Trigger Level is reached.
Example of Direct Control:
If measuring the temperature in a Greenhouse when the Temperature rises to
the Upper trigger level, then Direct Control Signal sends an ON signal to the
RF Receiver, which operates its relay (changeover contact) output. This can be
used to open a window. When the temperature drops below the Lower Tem-
perature Trigger the OFF signal is sent thus closing the window.
Notes
On Alarm trigger activation, the RF Sensor/Switch Transmitter will send an RF
command to any “Paired” RF receiver which will then operate its relay
(changeover contact) outputs.
Hint:
The RIoT Sensor/Switch must be paired to the RF Receiver. To do this follow the
standard Pairing process for the RF Receiver unit (See RF Receiver Datasheet).

Stage 5 Configure an RF Sensor/Switch Transmitter
Direct Control: An RF Receiver may be
deployed locally (within RF Range of the
Sensor/switch) providing relay
contacts changeover when the Trigger
Level is reached
Update Period: The interval time the
RF Sensor measures and transmits
its data.
Upper / Lower Trigger: The
Direct RF Remote Control Signal
is sent when the trigger level is
reached
Control Type: Configures the Direct
RF Remote Control Signal trigger to
operate ON or OFF at the upper or
lower level
1. From the home screen select the menu
on the top RHS then select “Configure
Sensor”
2. Put the RF Sensor/Switch Transmitter
into Config mode

Below is an example of the Config Options for a Temperature Sensor :
Hint:
For Keyfob RF Sensors, press the CONFIG
switch until The LED illuminates
For WM (Wall mount) Sensors, press the
CONFIG switch Twice
