How to Remote Control Portable Generator

Portable engine generators are used widely to supply electrical power in places where power is not dependable or available, or where power is needed only temporarily. Portable engine generators are sometimes used to supply power at construction sites. When we come across power failure, portable engine generator can supply power to appliances temporarily. To use engine generator more conveniently, have you ever thought remote controlling portable engine generator? Recently, one of our customers is looking for a remote control for a portable generator which basically has 2 circuits to operate. The first circuit is the run/stop circuit and operates on toggle, the second is the starter circuit and operates on momentary.

We recommend the 2 channel ac multi-mode remote control kit (S2U-AC220 & C-2).

This kind of receiver is multi-mode, including toggle, momentary, latched, momentary+toggle mode. You can set one channel operated on toggle, another channel operated on momentary. 10 amps for each channel is the maximum working current. When receiver works with transmitter (C-2), its working distance can reach 100m (300ft).

The kit works in toggle, momentary, latched and momentary+toggle modes. You can set momentary+toggle mode according to you need.

Setting control mode Momentary + Toggle: Connect Jumper-1 and Jumper-2.

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

Press and hold button 1: Turn on relay 1 (connect B and C, disconnect A and B)

Release button 1: Turn off relay 1 (disconnect B and C, connect A and B)

Control mode Toggle (Channel 2): Press -> On; Press again -> Off.

Press button 2: Turn on relay 2 (connect B and C, disconnect A and B)

Press button 2 again: Turn off relay 2 (disconnect B and C, connect A and B)

So your wiring must like this.

Time Delay Remote controller Activates Hot Water Recirculation Pump

Question from customer:

“I would like to control my hot water recirculation pump via remote control with time delay. I would like one receiver unit that can provide 4 different time delays (i.e. #1 1 minute, #2 2 minutes, #3 for 3 minutes, #4 for 4 minutes) via 4 different transmitters. Do you have such a product?”

Answer:

We think that you may need two time adjustable ac receivers and a 4-button transmitter (S2DA-AC220&C-4). The receiver is relay output (normally open and normally closed). Power supply for the receiver and the water pump are different. They can turn off automatically after the delay time(0 seconds ~ 99 hours), this RF wireless remote control switch system should be a good choice for you to control your all kinds of DC 0-28V or AC110 ~ 240V electrical appliances at home!

You can wire 4 pumps to 4 different relays of two receivers respectively.

Press buttons of “＋” and “－” on the timer from two receivers, adjust delay time from 0 second to 99 hours. Two buttons of Timer 1 adjust delay time of relay 1; two buttons of Timer 2 adjust delay time of relay 2. “H” is Hour, “M” is Minute, and “S” is Second. For example, if you set “1 0 M 0 3” on Timer, it means the delay time on Timer 1 is 3 minutes; the delay time on Timer 2 is 10 minutes.

Set relay 1 for 1 minute; relay 2 for 2 minutes; relay 3 for 3 minutes; relay 4 for 4 minutes.

So for the first receiver, you can set “02M01”; for the second receiver, you can set “04M03”.

And press button 1 turn on, pump 1.

Press button 2 turn on, pump 2.

Press button 3 turn on, pump 3.

Press button 4 turn on, pump 4.

After preset delay time, they will turn off automatically. If you want to turn off pump immediately, you can press button again for each pump to turn off them at once.

Code Learning and Deleting

This is the digital display tube circuit board with fixed time controlling function. There are 12VDC power input and output terminals, manual switch, digital tube for time and jumper.

There are also several buttons and terminals at circuit board. S1 (SET), S2 (+), S3(-), S4(LEARNING BUTTON) from right to left.

There are 3 controlling methods in it. They are manual switch control function, remote control function and fixed time controlling function. First of all, we will introduce the code learning and manual switch control function.

Code Learning:

1) Press button S4; signal LED on the controller keeps shining. The controller enters into status of LEARNING.

2) Press any one button on remote control. If signal LED flashes quickly 5 times and turns off, it means learning is successful.

3) When controller is in the status of LEARNING, press again button S4, signal LED turns off, learning process will be discontinued.

4) The controller can learn several remote controls with different codes.

We can test the learning situation, press “▲”, motor rotates in positive direction. Press “■”, stop the motor.

Code Deleting:

If you don’t want the controller to work with the remote control when you have learned remote control to the controller, you can delete all codes of remote controls, which are stored in the controller.

Operation: Press and hold S4 until signal LED flashes slowly; release the button, LED keeps slow flash. We can test the code deleting situation, press any buttons of transmitter, there is no response from motor. That means all stored codes have been deleted successfully.

Here is code learning and deleting videos for your reference.

DC Motor Rotates Automatically Via Temperature Variation

Our new digital tube circuit board has outstand feature which can remote control motor on and off through temperature variation around. We have introduced how to preset temperature figures in it previously. Next, we’d like to introduce how to control motor via temperature variation.

When the actual temperature is higher the high temperature, motor rotates in positive direction; when the actual temperature is lower the low temperature, motor rotates in reverse direction. You need to press remote or manual switch to stop the motor.

We have preset designated highest temperature 45℃ and designated lowest temperature 25℃. Here we see the operation procedure.

At first, the actual temperature around is lower than preset low temperature 25℃, motor rotates in reverse direction.

At this time, if we want to stop the motor, we can heat the temperature sensor with hair dryer. When the actual temperature around the sensor is higher than preset low temperature 25℃, we press “■” on the transmitter to stop motor. Otherwise, we cannot stop motor because the temperature around cannot reach above 25℃ in winter at our end.

Continue to heat the temperature sensor. When actual temperature around the senor is higher than preset high temperature 45℃, motor rotates in positive direction.

At this time, if we want to stop the motor, we should wait that the actual temperature around the sensor is lower than preset high temperature 45℃, you can press “■” on the transmitter to stop motor. Otherwise, when the temperature drops lower than 25℃, it begins to reverse rotation.

After a while, When actual temperature around the sensor drops lower than preset low temperature 25℃, motor will still rotate in reverse direction.

At this time, we must heat temperature sensor makes actual temperature around sensor higher than preset low temperature 25℃, we press “■” on the transmitter to stop motor.

You can follow my example of video.

How to Set Temperature Data for Digital Tube Circuit Board

The significant feature of digital tube circuit board is temperature variation remote controlling. That is to say, it can preset designated temperature data, and device which is connected to this controller will is activated when it reaches the designated temperature. There is a temperature sensor installing in that board.

We will like to introduce how to set temperature data for circuit board.

Press and hold S1 (about 2 seconds) to enter into automatic working setting. Digital tube display “A40”, at this time, you can set the high temperature 45℃, then, press S2(+) or S3(-) to adjust according to your need. Press and hold S1 (about 2 seconds) to save data and log out automatically. Press S1 again, Digital tube display “b20”, at this time, you can set the low temperature 25℃, then, press S2(+) or S3(-) to adjust according to your need. Press and hold S1 (about 2 seconds) to save data and log out automatically. The correspondent data will flash when we are setting.
