DSFIREFLY-3a August 08 ©2008 REG No 277 4001, ENGLAND. Page 1 FIREFLY FIREBLADE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEMS Applications • Lighting Control • General Purpose Remote Switching • Industrial remote Switching • Access Control Description A Range of general purpose remote control systems Installation simply requires connections to power supply and the output relay screw terminals. The output relays are activated by the button press on the transmitter encoder. Housed in a rugged IP68 weatherproof enclosure, the receiver has the capacity to learn up to 15 transmitter button pairings. These are memorised even if the power is removed. Each individual switch on each of the transmitters may be paired with any or all of the receiver relay outputs. The decoder is supplied in an IP68 rated enclosure with Cable Gland and wall mounting lugs.

DSFIREFLY-3a August 08 ©2008 REG No 277 4001, ENGLAND. Page 3 FIREFLY FIREBLADE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEMS Power Supply This unit is designed to be a fixed installation, operated from either 12/24Vdc or 230Vac. Under no circumstances should the receiver be connected to more than one supply. Before removing the cover ensure that the mains input supply is isolated. Maintenance to the product that involves removal of the cover should only be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician. Data Outputs Each output relay provides an isolated switch. Connections are Common (COM), Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC). Connecting a Relay output to an Application Below is a simple example showing one possible way to wire a relay in order to give switched power to an external load: When the relay is energised the ‘COM’ connects to ’NO’ and power is applied to the Load. Pairing a Transmitter to a Receiver Each transmitter has a unique identity. Each time a switch is pressed, the transmitter emits a highly secure RF signal (appears as a random encrypted data stream). The Receiver can learn this encrypted signal and allocate to an output. Any transmitter switch may be paired to one or many of the receiver’s outputs, or a transmitter single switch may be paired to any number of receiver’s outputs to enable a powerful and flexible remote control system. The only limitation is that each receiver has a maximum capacity of 15 pairings, these can be from the same or any number of transmitters. Hint: the same transmitter may be taught to any number of receivers to create ‘master keys’.

DSFIREFLY-3a August 08 ©2008 REG No 277 4001, ENGLAND. Page 4 FIREFLY FIREBLADE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEMS To learn a new transmitter switch follow this procedure Any transmitter button can be learnt to one or many of the receiver output relays. Each button must be learnt to each relay individually by following this procedure: 1. To select the receiver output relay to learn to: a. Briefly press the receiver Learn switch (SW1) once b. The Learn LED will flash once to indicate output relay 1 is selected c. After the LED stops flashing, press the Learn switch again to select the next relay channel d. Repeat step c until the required output relay is selected. 2. Press the button on the transmitter you want to learn to the relay output. 3. The Learn LED will then illuminate, press the same transmitter button again. 4. The Learn LED will then flash to indicate learning is complete. 5. To test the operation, press the transmitter button again and you will hear the relay ‘click’ as it operates. Erasing Receivers Memory 1. Press and hold the receiver Learn Switch for approx 10 seconds. 2. When the Learn LED turns OFF all memory is erased 3. This is factory default state which is indicated by all output LED’s flashing together. NOTE: You cannot erase individual Tx encoders Receiver Outputs The jumper links configure the outputs to be Momentary, Latching or Timed. The jumper links are made / removed by a small link ‘cap’ placed over the pin header. Jumper Links (LK2 - 4) Outputs 2 - 4 Open Mom (The Output operates for as long as the transmitter switch is held on) Connected Latch (The Output changes state each time the Transmitter is operated) LK0 LK1 Relay Outputs Open Open Output 1 Momentary Open Connected Output 1 Latching Connected Open All Outputs fixed to ½ Second Momentary o/p Connected Connected Output 1, 0 to 5 minutes using Timer selection Potentiometer.
