Quick Start Guide
Operation
Press any of the switches to operate.
The Transmitter will auto sleep between operations
to save power.
RF Transmit GREEN LED operates when Scorpion is
transmitting an RF signal.
RF Acknowledge (if configured):
GREEN LED will Flash at high speed to indicate that
an acknowledgment has successfully been received
back form the receiver.
RED LED will Flash at high speed to indicate that an
acknowledgment has not been received back form
the receiver.
Low Battery: If battery requires recharging Low
Battery LED illuminates for 3 seconds after each
operation.
Recharging the Battery
Remove the Green Overboot and place the
transmitter onto a charging pad
SCORPION is compatible with any QI wireless
charger.
When Charging the Battery RED LED gives a slow
Flash indicates charging is in progress.
When fully charged the GREEN LED is illuminated
Note: If the Battery becomes very depleted it can
take a few minutes before there is adequate charge
to start the RED LED to flash!

To Set Continuous or State Change RF Transmissions
When a switch button is operated SCORPION will
transmit a “Button Down” RF Transmission.
When a switch button is released SCORPION will
transmit a “Button Up” RF Transmission.
Continuous Transmit
SCORPION repeat transmits “button Down” in short
bursts for as long as switch button is pressed.
If the Acknowledgment is ON the receiver will reply after
each RF transmission burst.
This is ideally suited to momentary operation where the
receiver output needs to be active as long as the user
presses down a SCORPION Button.
State Change Transmit
SCORPION transmits an RF transmission only when the
switch button is pressed or released (i.e. a state
change).
On each of these “state changes” SCORPION transmits
up to 4 transmissions, or, “RF packets” (which can be
seen by the GREEN LED flashing up to 4 times,
If the Acknowledgment is ON the receiver will reply
immediately.
After receiving an Acknowledgment the SCORPION will
cease sending any remaining of the 4 transmissions.

Notes
1. Range is dependant on many factors
including the mode of transmission.
Range can be reduced by 75% in built up
areas with poor antenna, and
environmental conditions.
2. Battery life quoted is approximate based
on 30 operations per day.
This sets the type of RF Transmission.
Possible options are FM, or LORA Modes 0 - 7
FM or LORA mode 0 provides the quickest
response; from Transmitter switch (Sw)
pressed to Receiver Relay output.
LORA mode 7 provides the longest operating
range but with the longest time delay of from
button press to receiver relay actuation.

RF Acknowledgment from Receiver - Warning!
When Acknowledgement is ON, SCORPION
transmitter requests an RF signal back from the
receiver. Whilst in theory if an RF signal can be
transmitted one way then it can be returned, in
practice occasionally the received
acknowledgement many not penetrate as well as
the SCORPION transmitted signal.

To Set Acknowledgement Request
Acknowledgement Feature provides the user with
LED indication that the receiver has successfully
received the transmitters signal.
When activated the SCORPION Transmitter includes
an acknowledgement request from the receiver
within each radio transmission.
The response from the receiver is indicated on the
transmitter via the RED / GREEN LEDs.

If enabled, SCORPION automatically transmits a
background “watchdog” RF Signal approx. every
~45 secs.
RF Solutions Receivers with a Watchdog feature will
hold a Relay contact “ENERGISED” as long as
Watchdog is regularly received confirming the
transmitter is in range and the system is operating
correctly.
When using Watchdog it may be useful to
incorporate a Power Switch to avoid premature
battery discharge.
A power switch can be incorporated if this is
required please contact our Sales Dept.
