Momentary and Toggle Mode Remote Controller for Winch Motor and Lamps

Question from customer:

I am in need of a controller. I will be using this to control a winch on my pickup and some lights. So I need one button momentary for line in, one button momentary for line out, and 2 buttons on/off for lights.

Answer:

4 Relay multi-mode On / Off remote controller (S4U-DC12 & C-4) is very suitable to you. There are 4 channels for more than one device. It has universal controlling mode, including toggle, momentary, latched, and Momentary+toggle modes. The maximum current is 10A and working distance is about 100m. It features in controlling lights, motors, fans, electrically operated doors / locks / windows / blinds / cars or other appliances with AC110~240V or DC0~28V. You can turn on/off the receiver with transmitter (remote control) from any place within a reliable distance; the wireless RF signal can pass through walls, floors and doors.

According to your requirement, Channel 1~2 are for motor and Channel 3~4 are for lamps. At first, please see the wiring. Wire winch motor to “B” terminals of relay 1 and relay 2. That makes motor rotate in two different directions. Supply power to winch motor. Secondly, wire two lamps to “B” terminals of relay 3 and relay 4. Supply power to lamps.

Thirdly, learning Momentary (Channel 1~2) + Toggle (Channel 3~4) control mode: When the receiver is in the status of LEARNING, press button 3 of the transmitter.

When you press and hold button 1, winch motor rotates in positive direction; release it, winch motor stops.

When you press and hold button 2, winch motor rotates in reverse direction; release it, winch motor stops.

When you press button 3, turn on lamp 1; press button 3 again, turn off lamp 1.

When you press button 4, turn on lamp 2; press button 4again, turn off lamp 2.

2000M Remote Controller Controls Garage Door Automatically

Question from customer:

I need a radio system for switching a receiver of an underground garage, by a concrete slab with steel reinforcement and about 30 meters Distance 1st floor. The receiver may be 220 volts. Transmitter I want to act with an external contact. (Connection to a car alarm system).

Answer:

We recommend the 1 channel high power receiver (S1PUA-AC220-ANT2) and long range transmitter with extended wires (CB-2N). The receiver is activated by ac 220V, which is about 2000m working distance with external extended antenna. The wireless RF signal can pass through walls, floors and doors. It works with the long range transmitter, which features in two external wires because connection of two wires is its triggering method.

According to your requirement, we drew a wiring diagram.

Wires on the transmitter should be connected to the contacts of car alarm system.

The normally open contacts A&B of receiver should be connected to the garage door motor. And supply additional 220V power other than receiver.

Setting latched mode to this receiver.

When the contacts of two wires are closed, the transmitter is triggered and then transmits an rf signal “ON” to activate the receiver. After the receiver receives the signal, contacts A&B are closed; the motor starts to work to open the garage door.

When the contacts of float switch are cut, the transmitter is triggered and then transmits an rf signal “OFF” to deactivate the receiver. After the receiver receives the signal, contacts A&B are cut; the motor stops working to shut down the garage door.

12V Latched Mode Remote Control for Float Switch Controlling Water Pump

Question from customer:

When the tank is empty my float switch makes contact and stays in this mode till the tank is full.

What I need is for the transmitter to activate the receiver and hold it in the on position till the float switch interrupts the transmitter and releases the receiver. I need a receiver which is only activated as long as the transmitter sends a signal. Or I need a way to make the transmitter send a signal when the float switch makes contact, then interrupts this signal and sends a second signal when the float switch interrupts contact.

Answer:

We recommend the model of normally open latched 2000m remote controller (S1L-DC12-ANT2 & CB-2N). The receiver is with magnetic antenna and only one working mode—latched mode. It is activated the 12V power. The transmitter is designed with novelty. There are two wires extending from transmitter. The triggering method is connection and disconnection of two wires. When two wires are connected, “ON” signal will be sent out. When two wires are connected, “OFF” signal will be sent out.

Wires on the transmitter should be connected to the contacts of float switch.

The normally open contacts B&C of receiver should be connected to the water pump.

When the tank is empty, the contacts of float switch are closed, the transmitter is triggered and then transmits an rf signal “ON” to activate the receiver. After the receiver receives the signal, contacts B&C are closed; the pump starts to work.

When the tank is full, the contacts of float switch are cut, the transmitter is triggered and then transmits an rf signal “OFF” to deactivate the receiver. After the receiver receives the signal, contacts B&C are cut; the pump stops working.

9V Remote Control for Electron Microscope’s Motor

Question from customer:

I use a manual switch to control 4 9V motors of my electron microscope and each motor works in 150ma (0.15a). In addition, only one motor works when I press button of remote control each time. Now I want to remote control them, have you got any suitable remote for me?

Electron microscope:

Manual Switch of microscope:

Answer:

We thought this 8 channel rf remote transmitter & receiver is very suitable for you . It can be used to control at most 8 on / off electrical devices. With characteristics of strong anti-interference, reverse power protection and over current protection. Three voltages dc9v, dc12v and dc24v are provided to choose. It is widely applied to control many kinds of lights, electrically operated doors / gates / windows / blinds and so on. It works with 8-button transmitter and their transmitting distance can reach to 500m.

This is the wiring diagram.

Wire each motor to the normally open terminal “B”. According to the diagram, you can do wiring like above. Even though there are 8 working modes in it, you can choose ”Momentary mode” which is applied in motor’s rotation.

Control mode Momentary (Channel 1~8): Press and hold -> On; Release -> Off.

Press and hold button 1: Motor 1 rotates in positive direction

Release button 1: Motor 1 stops rotation

Press and hold button 2: Motor 1 rotates in reverse direction

Release button 2: Motor 1 stops rotation

Press and hold button 3: Motor 2 rotates in positive direction

Release button 3: Motor2 stops rotation

Press and hold button 4: Motor 2 rotates in reverse direction

Release button 4: Motor 2 stops rotation

Press and hold button 5: Motor 3 rotates in positive direction

Release button 5: Motor 3 stops rotation

Press and hold button 6: Motor 3 rotates in reverse direction

Release button 6: Motor 3 stops rotation

Press and hold button 7: Motor 4 rotates in positive direction

Release button 7: Motor 4 stops rotation

Press and hold button 8: Motor 4 rotates in reverse direction

Release button 8: Motor 4 stops rotation

Only one motor works when you press the corresponding button on the remote.

100M Remote Control LED Lamp

Question from customer:

I want to put a 220v Transceiver to turn on / off the power of a transformer of led lighting (to avoid the transformer is always on), this will make me a remote control switch. I want a basic on / off function product.

Answer:

1 channel ac power direct output remote switch (S1X-AC220+C-2) is suitable for you. Its remarkable feature is ac power direct output, that is to say, you don’t have to supply additional power to being controlled device because it can get power from powered receiver. It controls lights, motors, fans, electrically operated doors/locks/windows/blinds/cars or other appliances with AC 100~240V range. You can turn on/off the receiver with transmitter (remote control) from any place within a reliable distance (about 100m); the wireless RF signal can pass through walls, floors and doors.

Wiring diagram is here. Wire transformer to L&N terminals of “OUT “ terminal. Then wire lamp to the transformer.

To avoid transformer being always on, you can use transmitter to remote control it. There are three working modes in it. They are toggle, momentary and latched modes. Here, you can choose latched because there are two buttons of transmitter.

Setting control mode Latched: Do not connect Jumper-1 and Jumper-2.

Press button 1: Turn on the transformer, terminal OUT outputs AC power to switch on lamp.

Press button 2: Turn off the transformer, terminal OUT no output to switch off lamp.
