NOTE: This section is for transmitters that are programmed to Flashing Alert Mode

and Countdown Timer Mode. The timer duration for both modes can be set for the
following times: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes.

NOTE: Once the number of ashes reaches 5, it will stay at this setting. If you would
like to go back to other settings, such as 1 minute, release the button and repeat
from step 1 to start over.

NOTE: Use a sharp non-conductive object, like a pen or pencil, to press the learn button.

1.

The connected light must be turned o and the two blue LEDs should be on.

2.

Press and hold the learn button for three seconds until the lower blue LED
ashes once. The number of ashes indicates the timer duration.

Once a transmitter is programmed for the timer mode, activating this programmed
transmitter will turn the lights on for the specied timer duration. To stop timer
countdown, press a programmed button for regular mode.

NOTE: During a timer countdown if the Wall Switch receiver receives another signal
for timer operation, the timer will start again and override the previous timer. This
will extend the on period by another timer interval.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Wall Switch Receiver`s
LEDs and the connected
load will not turn on.

My switch has more than
3 wires in the wall box.

The Wall Switch Receiver
is getting warm to touch.

The range of my Wall
Switch Receiver is
decreasing.

It takes a long time for
the light to turn o when
set to Timer Mode.

Can I connect the Wall
Switch Receiver with
600W lights?

Can I dim the CFL with
the Wall Switch Receiver?

- Ensure the corresponding wires are
connected correctly. Refer to Section 1.

- Ensure the wires are side by side and
held together when pushing them
inside the wire nuts.

- Check that the circuit breaker is turned
on.

- If there are white wires (neutral) in the
wall box, connect the white wire with a
wire nut. Only connect the Load and
Live wires from the wall box to the Wall
Switch Receiver.

- This is normal. Ensure the connected
load does not exceed the maximum
rating.

- Keep the antenna wire as straight as
possible and put it directly into the dry
wall or via the hole in the wall box.

- Ensure the timer duration is set to the
desired setting.

- Check that there were no other Timer
Mode signals being received as that will
extend the ON period by another
interval.

- No. Purchase the Skylink Wall Switch
Receiver (WE-001/WE-318) instead of
this Wall Switch Receiver.

- Ensure the CFL is dimmable.
