Read the complete manual before attempting installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
This Easywave receiver is part of the Niko RF (Radio Frequency) system, an installation technique that does not require
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 868,3MHz frequency.
This frequency is reserved for products that do not transmit continuously (max.1% per hour = 36s.), so that there
is only a minimal risk of interference. The system is therefore ideally suitable 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-mounted transmitters take the form of an ordinary switch suitable 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.
2. OPERATION 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 ±30m. In open fields, ranges of up to 100m are possible. The transmitter range depends on the materials
used in the building.
You can use diagnosis 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 signals
present is indicated by 9 LEDs, allowing you to determine whether the RF transmitter's range is sufficient.

2.2. Installation instructions and recommendations
NEVER install the transmitters:
- in a metal distribution box, housing or metal netting.
- in the immediate vicinity of large metal objects.
- on (or near) the floor.
Install the receivers as close to the transmitters as possible. The presence of metal or moisture in the walls can
have a negative influence on the transmitter range.
3. PROGRAMMING
3.1. Putting into service
After installing the transmitters and receivers, the transmitters must be programmed with the receivers. A receiver
only functions if the address of a transmitter has been programmed in the receiver.
Test the transmitter before installing it!
3.2. Programming
- Briefly (< 1,6s.) press the countersunk programming key (Prog.) to select mode 1
- The LED of mode 1 lights (see 'Setting modes' below).
- Control the transmitters that have to cooperate with the receiver in Mode 1 one by one. The LED lights long
(4s.) in confirmation.
- Again briefly press the programming key to (if desired) select mode 2.
- The LED of mode 2 blinks (see 'Setting modes' below).
- Control the transmitters that have to cooperate with the receiver in mode 2 one by one. The LED lights long
(4s.) in confirmation.

is reached
- Mode 2 has priority over mode 1. If an open or close output is active in mode 1 and an open or close command
is also given from mode 2, the action of mode 1 is stopped immediately and the action of Mode 2 is started.
- A max. of 32 transmitters can be programmed per receiver. If this max. has been reached, the LED blinks
continuously.
- End programming by briefly (< 1,6s.) and repeatedly pressing the countersunk programming key until you
have exited the programming mode (mode1 - mode2 - OFF).
The programming will not be lost after a long-term power cut.
3.3. Adding transmitters
You can program additional transmitters (max. 32) on a receiver at all times. Therefore, repeat '3.2. Programming'.
3.4. Reset:
- Press the countersunk programming key on the receiver > 1,6s. (see '3.2. Programming').
- The LED blinks.
- Again, press the key > 1,6s.
- The receiver's memory is now completely erased. The LED lights long (4s.) in confirmation.
- End RESET by again briefly (< 1,6s.) pressing the countersunk programming key.
3.5. Erasing selectively
- Press the countersunk programming key on the receiver >1,6s.
- The LED blinks.
- A light signal starts flashing (flashing LED).
- Press 1 of the control keys of the transmitter you wish to erase.
- The transmitter is erased from the memory. The LED lights long (>1,6s.) in confirmation.
- End RESET by again briefly (< 1,6s.) pressing the countersunk programming key.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
If, after programming, the system does not work, you can perform a number of extra checks.
4.1 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.
- Reset and (re)program the receiver.
- Press the programming key. The receiver is now in programming mode. The LED blinks and the load is activated.
If this is not the case, the receiver is defective.
- Program the transmitters with the receiver and end programming.
4.2. Existing installation
- Check the batteries of the transmitter(s).
- Check the operation of the connected receivers.
- Check for possible interference caused by changes in the system environment (moving of metal cabinets, walls
or furniture...). Restore the original condition, if possible.
4.3. Transmitter malfunction
Pick up the transmitter and walk towards the receiver.
- The system still works when holding the transmitter in your hand but not when the transmitter is mounted on
the wall: this may indicate the presence of moist or metal in the wall. In this case, move the transmitter.
- The system still works at reduced distance: the transmitter has been placed outside the transmitter range or there is
an interference problem. In this case, place the transmitter closer to the receiver or outside the interference reach.
- The system does not work even when holding the transmitter close to the receiver: check the programming
and/or the battery of the transmitter (see above).
4.4. 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 '3.2. Programming').
- The system automatically switches off: this situation can be similar to the situation described above or be the
result of brief current interruptions.
