DEVICE INSTALLATION
For excellent functioning, it is very important to choose the
place of installation carefully. Capacity is not only conditioned
by the technical features of the device, but also varies depend-
ing on the radio-electric conditions of the site.
The transmitter has an incorporated antenna.
INITIAL FUNCTIONING CONDITION
The device can only work coupled with one or more control
units, upon first ignition the device contains a property code in
the memory that cannot be amended, of Rolling code type.
FUNCTIONING MODE
The device constantly controls the charge applied to the 230V
current socket. According to the variation of the applied load
absorptions, two distinct transmission codes will be sent at
433.92 Mhz (Descent code if the charge is at maximum, As-
cent code if the charge is in Stand-By or disconnected).
The device is ready for functioning with pre-defined charge
settings. In case of anomalous functioning compared to
wanted ones, it will be necessary to program the device.
PROGRAMMING METHOD OF THE DEVICE
The programming of the device current threshold is the Self-
learning type and is performed in the following way: connect
the charge to be checked
and bring it in the condition of maximum current absorption,
press the SEL key, three sounds will be heard confirming pro-
gramming entry. After approx. 3 seconds, the device will emit
a confirmation sound to signal the occurred programming of
the new current threshold, subsequently four confirmation
sounds will be heard to signal the end of the programming
mode.
Whereas if, after having pressed the SEL key the device can-
not memorise any current threshold within 15 seconds the de-
vice will emit four confirmation sounds, signalling the end of
the programming phase.
It is possible to repeat the above described programming op-
eration for the acquisition of new parameters of the applied
charge.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION METHOD OF THE DEVICE
The transmission of the device can be forced, for example, to
facilitate programming on the control unit to be coupled as fol-
lows: connect the device to the electric network keeping the
SEL key constantly pressed for 5 seconds, six sounds will be
heard confirming the sending of only the Descent code of the
device at 433.92 Mhz.
It is possible to repeat the above described transmission op-
eration for a new sending of the transmission code.
SOUND SIGNALS
1 BIP = Memorised current threshold.
3 BIP = Programming phase start
4 BIP = Programming phase end
5 BIP = Deletion of memorised current threshold.
6 BIP = Sending of transmission code
RESET
Should it be necessary to restore the control unit to default
setting (without memorised current threshold), press the SEL
key continuously for 5 seconds, the control unit will emit five
confirmation sounds and the operation will be complete.
