1. DESCRIPTION
The wireless hand-held transmitters are part of the Niko RF system (Radio Frequency) that operates according
to the Easywave protocol, an installation technique that does not require any wiring between the control points
(push buttons) and the consumers to be operated. The hand-held transmitters have the shape of an ordinary
remote control. Every transmitter can control an unlimited number of receivers simultaneously.
2. OPERATION, USE AND PROGRAMMING

transmitter for 1-button control (see user manual receiver). You can control the receiver(s)
by pressing the button once. The hand-held transmitter's control LED lights in confirmation.
05-317
Hand-held transmitter 05-314 is a transmitter with 4 push buttons. You can only use the
hand-held transmitter for 1-, 2- and 4-button control (see user manual receiver). You can control
the receiver(s) by pressing the button once. The hand-held transmitter's control LED lights in
confirmation. Depending on the chosen mode on the receiver, you can control a number of circuits
independently. For more details concerning the mode, see the user manuals of the receivers.
Receiver(s) in 1-button mode:
A, B, C and D operate as separate push buttons
with which you can control max. 4 circuits independently.
Receiver(s) in 2-button mode:
A, B and C, D are pairs operating in 2-button mode
with which you can control max. 2 circuits independently.
Receiver(s) in 4-button mode:
A, B, C and D are each part of the 4-button mode
with which you can control max. 1 circuit independently.
05-312
Hand-held transmitter 05-312 is a transmitter with 13 push buttons and 4 channel
selection buttons.
For each of the 4 channels, there are 3 control points with 2 push buttons, 1 control
point with 4 push buttons and 1 control point with 3 push buttons. Depending on the
chosen mode on the receiver, you can control a number of circuits independently. For
more details concerning the mode, see the user manuals of the receivers.
Receiver(s) in 1-button mode:
All push buttons operate as separate push buttons with which you can control max.
13 circuits per channel (52 circuits in all) independently.
Receiver(s) in 2-button mode:
The pairs A, B or C, D operate together in 2-button mode with which you can control
max. 6 circuits per channel (24 circuits in all) independently.
Receiver(s) in 4-button mode:
A, B, C and D are each part of the 4-button mode with which you can control max.
1 circuit per channel (4 circuits in all) independently.
Note: for an number of 4-button modes (o.a. for shutter controls), buttons C and D have the same function. You
can thus also assign these modes to the control point with 3 push buttons (at the bottom of the transmitter). This
way, you can control 1 additional circuit per channel (4 additional circuits in all) independently.

Choice of function key
For as long as the red LED of the channel selection blinks, you can activate one of the 13 push buttons. Press
one button to send a signal to the receiver(s). The LED lights for 1s (= min. time) or for as long as you press the
push button (max. 36s.). The LED blinks again for 30s. During these 30s, you can activate another function key of
the same channel. This is repeated until you send nothing for 30s (red LED goes out) or select another channel.
05-318
Hand-held transmitter 05-313 is a transmitter with 3 push buttons and 1 channel selection
button. By means of the channel selection button, you can select 1 of the 5 channels. For
each of the 5 channels, there are 3 push buttons. Depending on the chosen mode on the
receiver, you can control a number of circuits independently. For more details concerning
the mode, see the user manuals of the receivers.
Receiver(s) in 1-button mode:
A, B, and C operate as separate push buttons with which you can control max. 3 circuits
per channel (15 circuits in all) independently.
Receiver(s) in 2-button mode:
The pair A, B operates together in 2-button mode with which you can operate 1 circuit per
channel (5 circuits in all) independently.
Receiver(s) in 4-button mode:
For an number of 4-button modes (o.a. for shutter controls), buttons C and D have the same function. You can
thus assign these modes to a hand-held transmitter.
A, B and C are each part of the 4-button mode With which you can control max. 1 circuit per channel (5 circuits
in all) independently.
Sending a signal:
Channel selection (button K)
Press the channel selection button to select a channel. The last activated channel is selected. Afterwards, the
red LED blinks each time you press the channel selection button. The LEDs indicate which channel is selected
(if all LEDs light simultaneously, channel 5 (group channel) is selected).
The LED of the selected channel blinks for 30s.
Choice of function key
For as long as the red LED of the channel selection blinks, you can activate 1 of the 3 push buttons. Press one
button to send a signal to the receiver(s). The LED lights for 1s (= min. time) or for as long as you press the push
button (max. 36s.). The LED blinks again for 30s. During these 30s, you can activate another function key of
the same channel. This is repeated until you send nothing for 30s (red LED goes out) or select another channel.
For instructions to program the RF system, refer to the user manual of the RF receivers that operate according
to the Easywave protocol.
2.1. Range between wireless transmitters and receivers
Appliances with remote control such as TV, video and audio sets are not interfered by wireless transmitters. The
transmitters do not have to be pointed optically towards the receiver. The range indoors is ±30m, in open field
100m. The ranges depend upon the materials used in the building. You can use the diagnosis unit 05-370 to
determine the RF signal strength in a given environment. The appliance recognizes all 868,3Mhz signals. The
receiver quality of the transmitter signal or the strength of interference is displayed by 9 LEDs. This way, you can
determine whether the range of the RF transmitter is sufficient.
