1. General

The RLS010 is a standard size replacement wall switch for
dimming filament lamps only up to 300W. The light under control
can either be switched ON or OFF by a brief press of the push
button on the switch itself or on the remote controller.

If either push button is held down after the lamp has turned ON
the RLS010 will begin dimming progressively until the correct level
is reached and the button is released.

The RLS010 is only suitable for single-way switching applications
and cannot be used for two-way switching.

3. Commissioning

Ensure that the lamp(s) to be controlled are of a suitable type and
wattage. Turn on the mains supply to the lamp(s) and RLS010.

Press the push button on the wall switch briefly and the lamp(s)
will turn ON, press the button briefly again and the lamp(s) will
turn OFF.

If the push button on the wall switch is now pressed and held
down the lamp(s) will turn ON and then begin to dim
progressively. If the user continues to hold the button down the
lamp(s) will dim to a minimum, turn OFF, and then progressively
increase in brightness to a maximum. If the button continues to be
pressed the brightness will continue to cycle up and down.

To check the remote capability remove battery cover and insert
2 x AAA alkaline batteries in the remote controller being careful to
ensure correct polarity (see fig 3). Then using the same number
push button as the switch setting in the wall switch repeat the
above procedure remembering that there must be a line of sight
between the IR transmitter in the remote controller and the
receiving window on the wall switch.
