AE-2400R can switch various loads, including Incandescent, Halogen, Low voltage Halogen, LED, CFL and linear flourescent lamps.
When AE-2400R is connected and powered up, the lights can be turned on by moving the hand in front of the switch plate. When the hand enters the switch sensing
range, the lights will turn on. The hand should then move out of the sensor range. When the hand enters the switch sensing range again, the lights will turn off
Each time the hand enters the sensing range, the switch will change its on/off state. If the hand remains inside of the switch sensing range, no switch state change will
occur.
Switch plate can be removed and replaced at anytime, without first switching the power off at the fuse. But when removing the switch plate please note, that the switch will
enter the calibration cycle whenever the switch plate is removed, attached or moved. The cycle will last for about 1-2 minutes during which the switch will be
unresponsive.
NOTE: When the power is supplied to the switch, its state will always be in “off” position, regardless of its state when it was powered down.
Whenever the hand enters the
sensing range in front of the
switchplate light turns on/off
Moving the hand while staying in
sensing range doesn’t have any
effect on the switch operation. To
turn the switch on/off, the hand
must first LEAVE the sensing
range.
SYMPTOM
The light doesn’t turn on
The switch doesn’t react to hand
movement
Switch operation is inconsistent
(it doesn’t react consistently to the
hand movements)
Difficult to switch the lights on

Troubleshooting
Note:
Touchless switch with attached switchplate is depicted in above examples. The switch mechanism is visible in the images for clarity, but with typical installation it
would be hidden inside the wallbox and only the switchplate would be visible on the wall surface.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Faulty wiring
Faulty light bulb
Switch entered the calibration mode
Close proximity of moving objects
Unshielded or poorly shielded
transformers or power supplies near
the switch, switch wiring or as a
switch load.
Connected light has a dead time
before switching on
SOLUTION
Check if the switch is connected according to the connection diagram.
Checkif the fuse is turned on after connecting
Check the lightbulb and replace if necessary.
If the switchplate is exchanged, moved, removed or re-attached, the switch
automatically enters the calibration mode, during which it does not react on any
hand movement.
Wait for approx. 1-2 minutes for the dimmer to complete the cycle.
Switch sensor reacts to any moving object in the sensing range that is large
enough. Check if any object close to the sensor can move into or close to the
sensor range (such as: curtains, hanging wires, ropes or wall decoration).
Check if the switch plate is securely fixed. Moving switch plate even slightly can
cause unreliable switch operation.
Poorly shielded transformers, drivers and power supplies can cause excessive
EMI (electromagnetic interference), that can cause unreliable switch operation.
Use only certified and properly shielded power supples.
Reduce sensing range to decrease sensibility
Some light sources, especially flourescent lights have a significant delay between
the moment the power is applied to them and the moment the light turns on. This
delay can be several seconds in length. Due to this delay, no light will be emitted
from the light source at the moment the user turns the switch on.
User unfamiliar with this behaviour could falsely think that the switch didn’t react to
their “on” command and try to activate the switch again. But this second motion
would in fact turn the switch off.
To resolve this, turn the switch on and wait for couple of seconds. Listen to discrete
click sound from inside of the switch, indicating the switch has actually turned on.
Alternatively, use the switch version with sound feedback option.
