Read the complete manual before attempting installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
This RF 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 chan-
neling 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-mount transmitters take the form of an
ordinary switch suited 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
- Apply 1 brief (< 1,6s.) press to the ‘program’ button.
- LED starts blinking (light signal mode 1).
- If you want to switch to another mode, briefly (< 1,6s.) press on the program button repeatedly. A light signal
starts blinking (see mode setting).

- Program all transmitters that have to work with the receiver one by one. The correct reception of an address
is confirmed by a long light signal (4s.).
- Up to 32 transmitters can be programmed per receiver. When this maximum is reached the LED will keep blinking.
- Briefly (< 1,6s.) press on the program button repeatedly to end programming (Mode1 - mode2 - mode3 - off).
The programming is not lost in the event of a prolonged power failure.
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 flush key on the receiver (see '3.2. Programming') for more than 1,6s. (blinking LED).
- Press again for more than 1,6s.
- The receiver’s memory is now completely erased. This is acknowledged by a long light signal (4s.).
- End RESET by briefly pressing the flush key (< 1,6s.).
3.5. Erasing selectively
- Press the flush key on the receiver for more than 1,6s.
- A light signal starts blinking (blinking LED).
- Press 1 of the control buttons of the transmitter you want to erase.
- The transmitter is erased from the memory, which is confirmed by a long light signal (4s.).
- End RESET by briefly (<1,6s.) pressing the flush key again.
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.
5. TECHNICAL DATA
