How to DIY Motion Detector Light

A motion detector light is a security and energy saving feature which can be installed into dark home, hall, corridor or staircase. Within the area of detection, the motion detector will be triggered by any movement, and then send signal to the light. So the light will come on automatically. The light will stay on as long as motion is detected.

Today we’ll talk about how to diy a motion detector light using our wireless motion detector (W-01) and rf receiver (S1D-DC12) with time delay function.

Receiver specification:
Control Mode: Delay (Press -> ON; Then OFF after the delay time)
Adjustable delay time: 2~40 seconds
Coding Type: Fixed code by soldering
Operating Voltage: DC12V

Motion detector specification:
Working distance: 100 m (Open field)
Detection distance: 10m
Detection range: Fan-shaped angle 110°
Decode: Fixed code by Pins

The wiring and operation pictures are as follows:
Wire the rf receiver to the lamp.

Solder the code of receiver same as the code of detector. So does the resistance.

Turn on the power.

Move around the light, the light comes on automatically. When there is no motion, the light will be off by itself after the delay time.

Remote Control Shutter of Your Camera

Have you ever thought about remote controlling the shutter of your camera, so you can take pictures without needing to physically touch the camera? Besides, the remote should be radio frequency (RF), not infrared, because infrared remote requires clear line-of-sight and will not work in the situation like kite photography.

Here today we will talk how to apply our rf remote control & receiver to remote-controlled photo taking.

Look at the picture below, we choose a 12V 4-channel receiver (model S4C-DC12) and a 3-button remote control (model CWB-3). Remote distance is about 50 meters.

First step: Plug the shutter release cable to the remote control terminal on camera.

Second step: Wire the shutter release cable to the receiver according to the wiring program.

Third step: Press button A to Focus. Press button B to take photograph. (Button C is for Bulb mode, but we didn’t use it here.)

Control Baseball Scoreboard by 8 Button RF Remote

A scoreboard is an essential device that allows spectators and players to be able to know the score at every point in the game. This is very important for competition as teams usually strategize their games based on the information displayed on the scoreboard such as the time remaining in the game, which team is in the lead, and by how many points?

One customer tried to use our rf remote control system to control the baseball scoreboard. He needed an 8-button remote and he asked us to change the function of each button to what he wanted (seen in the picture below). He also wanted an 8-channel receiver. The receiver was supposed to be wired to the scoreboard. The remote controlled the scoreboard by controlling the receiver. The place he stood was about 400 FT away from the Scoreboard. So the transmitting distance of remote should be above 400 FT.

We recommend model 0020037 (S8CA-DC12 & CV-8) to him. It includes an 8-button remote transmitter and an 8-channel receiver. The theoretical transmitting distance is 500m. But in actual operation, it is hindered by trees, walls or other obstacles, or interfered by other signals. Therefore, the actual distance cannot reach 500m. So we suggest him add a external magnetic mount antenna model 0020909 to the receiver to get longer range.
