FUNCTION

SimpleWorx products are designed to provide simple remote control for lighting and other electrical loads without having to run any new wiring. They connect or “link” to one another by communicating over the existing electrical power wires.

One Transmitter can be linked to as many Receivers as you like. Each Receiver can be linked to eight Transmitters.

The FM Series Fixture Modules (Figure 1) allow for an existing switch or contact closure to trigger a FMT controller to remotely control the load of any SimpleWorx receiving device (like a FMR, Fixture Module Receiver). Once the FMT is “linked” to a load controlling SimpleWorx receiver (refer to “Linking a Transmitter to a Receiver”) it is capable of controlling the receiver’s load just as if it were its own load.

The FMR load controller is capable of turning 120VAC appliances and fluorescent lamps ON and OFF based on digital commands received from a SimpleWorx Transmitter.

Follow these instructions to install a Fixture Module:

1. Before installing the Fixture Module into a junction box or

attaching to an existing fixture, ensure that power to the wall box has been disconnected by removing the fuse or turning the circuit breaker off. Installing products while the power is on may expose you to dangerous voltage and may damage the product.

2. Remove any existing ceiling or wall fixture hardware for the

device

3. Disconnect the wires from the existing fixture. Identify the

“Line”, "Neutral", “Load" wires.

4. Wire the SimpleWorx Fixture Module connecting wires per

wiring diagram shown on next page.

5. Refer to instructions on OPERATION prior to placing the

fixture module in its final location, as it may be necessary to have access to the Program button in order to Link it to a Transmitter and test its operation. Temporarily restore power in order to perform these functions. Disconnect power again when finished.

6. Once proper operation is established, fit the module into the

outlet box, fitting the nipple into a ½” knockout or otherwise secure it using wire ties.

7. Reinstall fixture hardware as needed and restore power to

the circuit.

WIRING DIAGRAM

OPERATION

Linking a Transmitter to a Receiver

Any SimpleWorx transmitter can remotely control one (or more) SimpleWorx Receiver(s) by following the steps below to “LINK” the two together:

At the SimpleWorx Transmitter; Press and hold its

Link button for 6 seconds. The LED will then flash GREEN and flash its load

At the SimpleWorx Receiver; Press and hold the

rocker switch or link button for 6 seconds. The LED will flash GREEN and flash its load

connected)

The Receiver will indicate (within 30 seconds) the

two devices have automatically “LINKED” to one another when the LED stops flashing and then flashes its load once.

The Transmitter may be taken out of “LINK” mode by

tapping its rocker switch or link button once. The LED will stop flashing and flashes its load

connected)

Note: The TX will automatically timeout after 5

minutes

(if a load is connected)

(if a load is

Status LED Indicator

The FMT and FMR are each equipped with a bi-color status LED that is normally lit to red. This LED indicator will blink different colors to indicate configuration status as outlined below:
