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;

2. DESCRIPTION
This Easywave hand held transmitter 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 868.3 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 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 configura-
tions. It is a modular system built around transmitters and receivers. The wall mounted transmitters take the form
of an ordinary switch that can be wall mounted. 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 are in conformity with 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.

3. OPERATION AND USE
3.1.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 van use 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 signals present
is indicated by 9 LEDs, allowing you to determine whether the RF transmitter’s range is sufficient.

3.2. Inserting/replacing batteries
If, when switching on the device, the LED (see Fig.) lights weakly or not at all, the battery needs to be replaced.
- Remove the battery cover
- Avoid direct contact with the battery to prevent it from discharging.
- Check that no NiCd batteries are used.
- Insert the new battery. Observe the polarity (‘+’ and ‘-‘ symbols).
- Use a 3V CR2032 (05-311/05-314); IEC LR03 AAA1,5V (05-310) battery.
- Slide the battery cover back into place.
- Used batteries are to be returned to an authorised waste collection point.
3.3. 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.
4. PROGRAMMING
How to program your Easywave RF system is described in detail in the user manual of the Easywave 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 receivers; 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
