1. Introduction
1.1 Product description
The Gewa Andromeda Socket is a so called relay unit. By connecting the relay unit between, for
example, a lamp and a wall socket, you can turn the lamp on and off with a transmitter or a control
switch.
The Andromeda Socket can function in two different ways:
•
The power switches between on and off. For example, switching on and off a lamp. (Bistable
function).
•
The power is on as long as the button on the transmitter is pressed. For example, to drive an
electric mixer. (Monostable function.)
The Andromeda Socket is a part of the “GewaLink-system” and therefore can be used together with
all of these products, including Gewa IR transmitter and Z-Wave transmitter.
The Andromeda Socket comes factory set with GewaLink channel 16 and bistable function.
