Toggle/Momentary/Latched/Mixed-mode Remote Controlling Operation

Through learning or deleting code from transmitter to receiver, we can shift working mode easily. Different mode is applied for different controlling. Toggle mode is used for controlling lamp, doors, locks…Momentary is used for controlling rolling blind, shutter, rolling door…As regards the latched mode, it is motivated by relay group. Latched mode is available for long distance controlling (no line of sight, lots of trees or other obstacles in-between). And there is mixed mode of toggle+momentary. A relay group is toggle mode, the other relay group is momentary mode.

Here, we’d like to introduce the procedure of 4 working modes’ practical operations (4 Channel 12V multi-mode remote control).

Toggle mode: Connect jumper to CN2, set toggle control mode.

Press any buttons to control corresponding lamp on and off.

Press button 1, turn on lamp 1.

Press button 1 again, turn off lamp 1.

Momentary mode: Connect jumper to CN1, set momentary control mode.

Press any buttons to control corresponding lamps on and off. Such as: Press and hold button 2, turn on lamp 2; release button 2, turn off lamp 2.

Press and hold button 3, turn on lamp 3; release button 3, turn off lamp 3.

Latched mode: No jumper connect, set latched control mode.

Press any buttons to control corresponding lamps on and off. Such as: Press button 1, turn on lamp 1. Other lamps are off.

Press button 2, turn on lamp 2. Other lamps are off…

Momentary+Latched mode: Connect jumper to CN1 and CN2, set momentary and latched mode.

Press corresponding buttons to corresponding operation

Momentary Mode：(Channel 1~2)

Toggle Mode:(Channel 3~4)

Encoding and Decoding of Remote Controller

Remote controller has toggle, momentary, latched or even mixed modes. We should learn or delete code from transmitter for receiver to operate or shift mode. Different mode is used in different controlling. Toggle mode is used for light controlling, lock controlling… Momentary is used for motor controlling, rolling blinds controlling… Latched mode is available for long distance controlling (no line of sight, lots of trees or other obstacles in-between).

Here, we’d like to introduce the procedure of code learning and deleting.

Learning code of remote control:

1) Press buttons to control lamps, there is no response from lamps at first. (No codes in the receiver)

2) Press and hold the button of receiver; signal LED on the receiver keeps shining. Then release the button. The receiver enters into status of LEARNING.

3) Press any one button on remote control. If signal LED flashes quickly 15 times and turns off.

4) Press buttons to turn on or off lamps, it means learning is successful.

Deleting Code:

We have learned remote control to the receiver. If you don’t want the receiver to work with the remote control or want to shift working mode, you can delete all codes of remote controls which are stored in the receiver.

1) Press buttons, you can turn on lamps. (All codes are stored in the receiver at first.)

2) Delete codes: Press and hold the button of receiver until signal LED flashes slowly; release the button, LED keeps slow flash.

3) Press buttons to control lamps, there is no response from lamps. That means all stored codes have been deleted successfully.

How to Remote Control Spot light

One of our customers is a lighting designer, who is in charge of stage lighting for a show. He wants to remote control 4 stage spot lights with a remote. And each button can control each light on and off respectively.

We recommend him 4 channel remote switch kit (S4T-DC12+C-4). This is a toggle mode remote controller. It is often used to light controlling. We press the button of remote, turn on the light; press the button again, turn off the light. He can switch on and off any of lights as he wants. Normally open and close terminals connection method is capable of controlling appliances with AC110~240V or DC0~28V.

We can give him a demonstration of controlling lights.

We need the following material. They are remote control kit, LED lights, power adaptors and some lines.

This is the wiring diagram and wiring picture.

Press button 1, turn on light 1; press button 1 again, turn off light 1.

Press button 2, turn on light 2; press button 2 again, turn off light 2.

Press button 3, turn on light 3; press button 3 again, turn off light 3.

Press button 4, turn on light 4; press button 4 again, turn off light4.

Switching on and off spot lights by one transmitter is very convenient to him. He can stand anywhere to control spot lights within a reliable distance (100m). The wireless RF signal can pass through walls, floors and doors.

100M RF Wireless Remote Switch for Solenoids and Linear Motors

Question from customer:

I need to remotely control two on/off solenoids and two linear actuators on my truck. They are all actuated by 24V power supply in my truck. Do you have a system that will do this?

Answer:

We recommend the model of 4 channel multi-mode 24V remote control (S4U-DC24+C-4). This kind of remote control is 4 channels with multi-modes, which includes toggle, momentary, latched and momentary+toggle. It is flexible choice for you. You can choose the 24V actuated remote control since there is 24V power in your truck. The working distance is about 100M.

Then connect 2 linear actuators to channel 1 and 2 in parallel, connect two on/off solenoids to channel 3 and 4 respectively. You can set the receiver to Momentary (Channel 1~2) + Toggle (Channel 3~4) control mode.

The wiring is just a little complicated. Please see the wiring diagram below, B is common terminal. Each linear actuator motor is supposed to be connected to B terminals of relay 1&2. A is normally closed terminal and C is normally open terminal. Connect terminal C to the positive and connect terminal A to the negative. Each solenoid is connected to B&C terminals of relay 3&4.

After wiring, you can control them by the transmitter C-4.

Press and hold button 1, linear actuators move forward together, release the button 1, linear actuators stop together.

Press and hold button 2, linear actuators move backward together, release the button 2, linear actuators stop together.

Press button 3, turn on solenoid 1. Press button 3 again, turn off solenoid 1.

Press button 4, turn on solenoid 2. Press button 4 again, turn off solenoid 2.

4-Channel Remote Control for 2 AC Motors 2000M

When you control motors of awnings, electric rolling blinds, winches, projector screens, linear actuator, pumps and other devices far away. And you just want to stay with leisure in you couch to remote control devices mentioned above. Then long range wireless remote control system is the solution.

4-channel remote control model of (S4U-DC12-ANT2+CB-4). It includes long distance remote transmitter and receiver with magnetic mount antenna. The working distance is up to 2000m (6000ft) in the open field. Transmitting signal can pass through walls, floors, doors or other obstacles. You can control the motor rotate in positive and reversal direction from any place within reliable distance.

Next, we will prepare a show to tell you how to control 2 AC motors’ rotation in two directions.

Let’s see the following material.

1×4CH rf long range receiver

1×4-button long distance transmitter

2×AC motor

Some lines

Power supply

Here is the wiring diagram. This is the wiring for AC motors. Motors should be connected to common terminals of B. We add neutral wires to connect both motors since they are ac motors. Live wires are connected to normally open terminals of C. Surely, the receiver must be supplied DC 12V power.
