Velleman K8057 Two-Channel RF Remote Control Receiver User Manual

1. Introduzione

The Velleman K8057 is a two-channel RF remote control receiver kit designed for various control applications. This receiver features two relay contact outputs, offering both toggle and pulse functions, selectable per output. It is capable of learning unique 32-bit codes from compatible Velleman transmitters such as the K8059, VM108, and VM130T. The K8057 can store up to 31 transmitters and provides full software control without requiring hardware settings. Its code memory can be erased for security purposes, and LED indicators provide feedback on output status and functions.

4. Contenuto della confezione

The Velleman K8057 kit typically includes:

• K8057 Receiver PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
• Electronic components for assembly
• Istruzioni di montaggio
• Manuale d'uso (questo documento)

Note: Transmitters (e.g., K8059, VM108, VM130T) are sold separately.

5. Impostazione

5.1 Montaggio

Before proceeding, ensure the K8057 kit is fully assembled according to the provided assembly instructions. Proper soldering and component placement are crucial for correct operation.

5.2 Collegamento di alimentazione

Connect the appropriate DC power supply to the receiver's power input terminals. Refer to the assembly instructions for the exact voltage requirements and polarity. Incorrect power supply can damage the unit.

5.3 Cablaggio di uscita

Connect your desired devices (e.g., garage door opener, lights) to the two relay contact outputs. The relays provide potential-free contacts, allowing them to switch various loads. Ensure the load's voltage and current ratings do not exceed the relay specifications.

5.4 Learning Transmitters

To enable the receiver to respond to a transmitter, you must 'learn' its unique code:

1. Press and hold the 'Learn' button on the K8057 receiver. An LED indicator will illuminate or flash.
2. While holding the 'Learn' button, press a button on your compatible transmitter (e.g., K8059, VM108, VM130T).
3. The LED on the receiver will change its state (e.g., flash rapidly, turn solid) to indicate successful learning.
4. Rilasciare entrambi i pulsanti.
5. Repeat this process for any additional transmitters or buttons you wish to program, up to a maximum of 31 transmitters.

5.5 Setting Output Modes (Toggle/Pulse)

The K8057 allows you to configure each of its two outputs independently for either toggle or pulse operation. Consult the detailed assembly manual for specific jumper settings or software configuration steps to select the desired mode for each output. The pulse function may also have an adjustable switch-off timer.

5.6 Erasing Memoria

To erase all learned transmitter codes from the receiver's memory for security or reprogramming purposes:

1. Assicurarsi che il ricevitore sia acceso.
2. Press and hold the 'Learn' button for an extended period (e.g., 10-15 seconds) until the LED indicator confirms the memory has been cleared (e.g., a specific flash pattern).
3. Release the button. All previously learned codes are now deleted.

6. Operativo

Once transmitters are learned and output modes are set, operating the K8057 is straightforward:

• Modalità di commutazione: Pressing the corresponding transmitter button will switch the output relay ON. Pressing it again will switch the relay OFF.
• Modalità pulsazioni: Pressing the corresponding transmitter button will activate the output relay for a preset duration (the switch-off timer). The relay will then automatically switch OFF.
• Special Pulse Mode: If configured, pressing both transmitter buttons simultaneously can activate both outputs in pulse mode, useful for specific applications.

The LED indicators on the receiver will provide visual feedback on the status of the outputs and any ongoing operations.

7. Manutenzione

• Mantenere il ricevitore pulito e privo di polvere. Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per la pulizia.
• Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o solventi.
• Controllare periodicamente tutti i collegamenti elettrici per accertarsi che siano sicuri.
• Assicurarsi che l'ambiente operativo rimanga entro gli intervalli di temperatura e umidità specificati.

8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Receiver not responding to transmitter:
  • Ensure the transmitter has fresh batteries.
  • Verify the transmitter has been successfully learned by the receiver (refer to Section 5.4).
  • Check the distance and any obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
  • Assicurarsi che il ricevitore sia acceso.
• Outputs not activating:
  • Check the wiring to the connected devices.
  • Verify the output mode (toggle/pulse) is correctly set.
  • Ensure the load connected to the relay is within its specified limits.
• Learning process fails:
  • Ensure the transmitter is compatible with the K8057.
  • Try clearing the receiver's memory and re-learning the transmitter.
  • Ensure you are pressing the buttons correctly and within the specified time frame.
• Corto raggio:
  • Check the antenna connection on the receiver.
  • Minimize sources of RF interference in the vicinity.
  • Ensure the receiver is not enclosed in a metal casing that could block RF signals.
