Read the complete manual before attempting installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
This Easywave wall-mounted transmitter is part of the Niko RF (Radio Frequency) system, an installation technique
that does not use any wiring between the control points (push-buttons) and the consumers to be operated. This
technique is known as "remote control" or "wireless control". Transmission occurs by means of radio waves at
the 868.3 MHz frequency. This frequency is reserved for products that do not transmit continuously (1% per
hour = 36s.), so that there is only a minimal risk of interference. The system is therefore ideally suited for use in
specific applications such as renovation of interiors, extensions in existing electrical installations where drilling or
channeling work is excluded, offices with movable walls... or to avoid the use of complex cabling configurations.
It is a modular system built around transmitters and receivers. The wall-mount transmitters take the form of an
ordinary switch suited for wall mounting. The hand held transmitters take the form of a conventional remote
control unit. Each transmitter can control an unlimited number of receivers simultaneously. Each receiver can
be controlled by up to 32 transmitters.
These products conform to the EG regulations and comply with the essential requirements of the R&TTE directive:
1999/5/EC. The certificate of conformity can be obtained from the Niko support service.
2. INSTALLATION AND USE
2.1. Range between Easywave transmitters and receivers
Equipment using a remote control, such as TV, video and audio, does not suffer interference from the Easywave
transmitters. The Easywave transmitters need not be pointed at the receiver. The range in buildings amounts
to approx. 30m. In open fields ranges of up to 100m are possible. The transmitter range depends upon the
materials used in the building.
You can use the diagnostic unit (05-370) to determine the RF signal strength in a given environment. The device
detects all 868,3MHz signals. The reception quality of the transmitter signal or the strength of the interfering sig-
nals present is indicated by 9 LEDs, allowing you to determine whether the RF transmitter's range is sufficient.

2.2. Inserting/replacing batteries
- Avoid direct contact with the battery to prevent it from discharging.
- The use of NiCd batteries is not allowed.
- Insert the new battery. Observe the polarity ('+' and '-' symbols).
- Batteries to be used: Renata 3V/270mAh CR2430; Saft 3V/270mAh LM2430;
Varta 3V/260mAh CR2430; Panasonic 3V/250mAh CR2330.
- Used batteries are to be returned to an authorised waste collection point.
2.3. Mounting instructions and recommendations
NEVER install the transmitters:
- in a metal distribution box, housing or netting;
- in the immediate vicinity of large metal objects;
- on or near the floor.
3. MOUNTING WALL-MOUNTED TRANSMITTERS
First remove the protection between the battery and the contacts!
1. Gluing: on a flat base, e.g. glass, paint, varnished wood, tiles...
Make sure the base is free from dust and grease.
2. Screwing: on a structured base, e.g. stone walls, plaster...

Vertically EXTENDING a switch in an existing installation to a dual switch is possible by using a dual vertical
cover plate with a 71mm centre distance.
You can REPLACE an existing switch in a flush mounting box for screw mounting if the screws are placed
horizontally.
4. PROGRAMMING
The programming of your Easywave RF system is described in detail in the user manual of the Easywave RF
receivers.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
If, after programming, the system does not work, you can perform a number of extra checks.
5.1. New installation
- Check whether the protection between the battery and the contacts in the transmitter has been removed.
- Check whether the battery and the contacts make good permanent contact.
- Check the supply voltage of the receiver in the distribution box.
- Check if everything is connected as shown on the wiring diagrams (see user manual receiver(s)).
- Reset and (re)program the receiver (see operating instructions receiver(s); programming).
5.2. Existing installation
- Check the batteries of the transmitter(s).
- Check the mains voltage (230V~) on the receiver.
- Check the operation of the connected load.
- Check for possible interference caused by changes in the system environment (moving of metal cabinets, walls
or furniture...) Restore the original condition, if possible.
5.3. Transmitter malfunction
Pick up the transmitter and walk towards the receiver.
- The system still works at reduced distance: the transmitter has been placed outside the transmitter range or
there is an interference problem. (You can use the diagnosis unit, 05-370)
- The system does not work even when holding the transmitter close to the receiver: check the programming
(see user manual receiver; programming) and/or the battery of the transmitter.
5.4. The system automatically switches on and off
- The system automatically switches on: This is only possible if a foreign transmitter was programmed in the
receiver within the receiver range. Reset the receiver and reprogram the relevant addresses (see operating
instructions receivers; programming).
- The system automatically switches off: This situation can be similar to the situation described above or be the
result of brief current interruptions
6. TECHNICAL DATA
Easywave wall-mounted transmitter 2/4/8 buttons
- transmitter range: 100m in open air; on average 30m in buildings (depending on the materials used)
- 2/4/8 control points
- no wiring between control points and consumers to be operated (RF controlled), only connection between the
receiver (switch) and the light or device
- orientation (pointing) of the transmitters is not necessary (transmission of the signals through non-metal walls
is possible)
- operating temperature: -5 to 50°C
7. LEGAL WARNINGS
- The installation has to be carried out by a registered installer and in compliance with the statutory regulations.
- This user manual has to be handed over to the user. It has to be included in the electrical installation file and
has to be passed on to any new owners. Additional copies are available on the Niko website or via the support
service.
- During installation, the following has to be taken into account (not limited to list below):
- The statutory laws, standards and regulations;
- The state of the art technique at the moment of installation;
- This user manual, which must be read within the scope of each specific installation, only states general
regulations;
- The rules of proper workmanship
- In case of questions, you can consult Niko's support service or contact a registered control organisation.
