‘FireFly’ radio remote control systems provide security and versatility

RF Solutions has launched a new remote control system housed in a rugged IP68 weatherproof enclosure. Delivering a transmitting range of up to 100 metres, the general purpose ‘FireFly’ module can be used in a variety of applications, including lighting control, remote switching, industrial remote switching and access control. Each individual switch on each of the transmitters may be paired with any or all of the receiver relay outputs. The receiver has the capacity to learn up to 15 transmitter button pairings which are memorised even if the power is removed.

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. The decoder is supplied in an IP68 rated enclosure with cable gland and wall mounting lugs. This ‘FireFly’ unit is designed to be a fixed installation operated from either 12/24Vdc or 230Vac.

Each ‘FireFly’ transmitter has a unique identity. Every time a switch is pressed, the transmitter emits a highly secure RF signal (which 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 same transmitter may be taught to any number of receivers to create ‘master keys’.

This transmitting system can also be supplied as OEM units. Both transmitter and receiver use overlay stickers as part of the assembly which may easily be customised to incorporate any other logo. Overall dimensions of the ‘FireFly’ transmitter are 90mm x 54mm (widest point) x 27mm. Visit www.rfsolutions.co.uk for more information
