If either push button is held down after the lamp has turned ON
the RLS010 will begin dimming progressively until the correct level
is reached and the button is released.
The RLS010 is only suitable for single-way switching applications
and cannot be used for two-way switching.
2. Installation
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN.
The RLS010 can be directly mounted on a standard 16mm plaster
depth flush box or a standard 16mm surface mount box.
i. Remove the central screw cover strip by levering at each end
with a screwdriver before pulling the strip away - see fig 1.
ii At the rear of the unit (see fig 2) select the channel (1-4) you
wish the RLS010 to work on. This determines which of the 4
buttons on the remote controller the wall switch will respond
to.
iii TURN OFF THE MAINS SUPPLY TO THE SWITCH
TO BE REPLACED.
iv Unscrew the fixing screws holding the existing switch to its
back box. Pull the switch clear of its back box and remove the
two wires from the terminals after loosening the terminal
screws.
v Insert these two wires into the screw terminals on the back of
the RLS010 marked L in (live supply) and L out (normally red
into L in and black to L out). The screws should then be
securely tightened. If a metal back box is in use ensure that the
cable earth wire is sleeved and connected to the box. If a plastic
box is in use ensure that, if the earth wire is loose, it cannot
come in contact with the L in or L out terminals.
vi By pushing the cable back up the conduit and bending the
wires as necessary position the RLS010 over the 2 fixing holes.
vii Screw home fixing screws - do not overtighten.
3. Commissioning
Ensure that the lamp(s) to be controlled are of a suitable type and
wattage. Turn on the mains supply to the lamp(s) and RLS010.
Press the push button on the wall switch briefly and the lamp(s)
will turn ON, press the button briefly again and the lamp(s) will
turn OFF.
If the push button on the wall switch is now pressed and held
down the lamp(s) will turn ON and then begin to dim
progressively. If the user continues to hold the button down the
lamp(s) will dim to a minimum, turn OFF, and then progressively
increase in brightness to a maximum. If the button continues to be
pressed the brightness will continue to cycle up and down.
To check the remote capability remove battery cover and insert
2 x AAA alkaline batteries in the remote controller being careful to
ensure correct polarity (see fig 3). Then using the same number
push button as the switch setting in the wall switch repeat the
above procedure remembering that there must be a line of sight
between the IR transmitter in the remote controller and the
receiving window on the wall switch.
