Technical info

The QWE RC04/metal is a remote control with 4 buttons. Pressing one of the buttons sends a wireless telegram that is picked up by the Qbus Wireless Interface. By configuring this in the Qbus Configuration Software, any Qbus output can be controlled with this remote control.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you read an existing configuration?
This is a completely different procedure depending on the type of controller.
For the CTD controllers this goes as follows:
In the SMIII via "File" or "Utilities / Setup / SD card", click on "Recover QDB from SD".
After confirmation you choose the name and location where the file should be saved. The zipped QDB file is then read from the SD card of the CTD and saved. With a positive answer to the question "Unzip and open restored QDB?", All data will then be immediately available. If the data you were still working on was not sent or saved, you will first receive a notification to do so.

For a CTL controller follow the following procedure:
Because this controller does not yet have a large memory, only limited data can be recovered. Ao the names are abbreviated to 12 characters and serial numbers are not stored anywhere.
The first step is therefore to type in ALL serial numbers via SMII via "File / Modules". These 6-digit serial numbers can be found on every module (DIN rail, switch, detector, etc.). For the SWC0x switches, an extra option was provided to have them send their serial number via “Search for modules”.
When you then click on the "down arrow", you can read all this limited information.
Always use the latest software for configuration.

It is always recommended to use the most recent version. This version supports the newest modules and resolves all known bugs.
If, for example, you enter a serial number and the correct module information does not appear, you are likely not working with the most recent software.
A newer version will always be able to open the older files (.QDB) without data loss.
The latest version of the System Manager software, along with the user manual and version history, can be found in the knowledge center.

General

Safety Instructions
Read the complete manual before installing the module and activating the system.
WARNING
The device must be mounted and commissioned by a qualified electrician in accordance with the country-specific regulations.
The device must not be opened except as described for replacing the battery. The warranty is void if the module is opened.
Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.

Installation and wiring

Check battery
The battery voltage is checked by the module each time:
One of the buttons is pressed
At least once every 24 hours after the last operation.
As soon as the battery status is considered weak, a "Battery Low" signal is sent at least once every 4 hours.
Once the battery is depleted, the red LED will blink 3 times briefly at 20-second intervals and the low-voltage telegram will be sent automatically. It is recommended to replace the battery at this time. (see "Replacing the battery")
If the voltage drops further, the module will switch itself off and no status changes will be transmitted.
Replace battery
Insert a small object (for example: a flathead screwdriver) into the slot at the back of the transmitter and open the casing.
2. Replace the battery. Use only the battery type CR2032.
Note: Ensure that the positive terminal is visible on top. Keep batteries out of the reach of children!
3. Close the enclosure.
Note: The connection of the module with the QWI/EW is maintained, no further steps are required.
Troubleshooting
If the receiver does not respond to this module:
Check the battery status.
Verify that the wireless connection in the installation is not disrupted between this module and the QWI/EW.
Check the QWI/EW configuration and whether the link with this module is still active.
Ensure that other wireless devices operating on the same frequency or in close proximity do not interfere with the operation of this product.
If the LED does not light up:
Replace the battery. (Ensure that the battery polarity is correct.)

For each wireless module it is important that it is enrolled to the gateway (QWI/EW)
An I/O module receives a code from the QWI/EW, an input module sends its code to the QWI/EW.

When you briefly press a push button, it will send its transmission code and store it in a free place in the QWI. The transmission code is displayed and the key pressed is displayed in green.
