F&Wave system - remote control of home appliances

Library archives.
The information contained herein may be outdated.
F&Wave is an easy to install and use system of wireless control of home appliances. The system allows for remote control of lighting including dimming option, lowering/raising roller blinds, shutters etc., opening/closing gates and garage doors, and control of many other electrical appliances. The appliances can be managed with the use of handheld and/or additionally installed wireless controls, just by the existing electrical switches combined with the system.
Components of the F&Wave system:
  • Single Bistable Relay F3211, and its DIN-rail version F3212
  • Double Bistable Relay F3221, and its DIN-rail version F3222
  • Roller Blind Controller F3521, and its DIN-rail version F3522
  • Wireless Dimmer F3311, and its DIN-rail version F3312
  • 2-channel Wireless LED Controller F3421, and its DIN-rail version F3422
  • 10-button Remote Control F3110
  • 4-button Remote Control F3104
  • 5-button Remote Control F3105 (for Ø60 box)
The system has been designed for customers who want to increase the comforts of their homes, efficiently and for a low cost. Simple installation and configuration of the system is even within the range of experienced "do-it-yourself" users who know the safety rules required for any work within home AC power network (you do it on your sole responsibility, the best choice is to commission the job to a qualified electrician).
A unique feature of the system is the retransmission of the control signals by the modules, i.e. any signal received by a module is "repeated" by it, which improves reliability of the system and significantly extends the range of operation.
Another important feature of the receivers/actuators of the F&Wave system is the possibility of using their local control inputs that can be connected to the existing electrical switches (such as light switches) in order to limit the number of wireless remote controls and minimize the total cost of the system. The modules designed for installation in typical electrical boxes can be placed directly under the existing switches and controlled by them.
The receivers/actuators have two versions - for mounting in Ø60 boxes or for placing on TH-35 rail (the width of any module of this kind is 17.5 mm - one section (1S)). The remote controls (transmitters) are available as handy wireless remote controls, as well as 5-button remote control unit for placing in a Ø60 box.
F&Wave is one of the interesting solutions for easy control of any types of lamps, motorized roller blinds/shutters, gates or any electrical appliances in the home, garden etc. that can be controlled on a switch on/off principle. It can be also applied in offices, public buildings, churches etc, with the ease of installation due to no need for additional plastering work - the modules can be installed within the existing electrical systems.

Wireless remote controls
sending commands to receivers/actuators
The FW-RC4 F3104 and FW-RC10 F3110 remote controls operate as bistable switches: consecutive short pressings of the dedicated button result in alternate switching ON and OFF the load. In the case of dimmers and LED controllers, longer pressing of the button (above 1 second) starts lighting up (by increments 10%). Another longer pressing of the button will have the opposite effect (dimming, 10% steps). The FW-RC5 F3105 control also has separate inputs for connecting "always switch ON" and "always switch OFF" switches.

Applications of F&Wave system

  • A - a LED strip
    • LED strips are controlled with dedicated controllers, managed by local buttons connected directly to a controller, or, more conveniently, by handheld remote controls. The strips can be switched on/off and dimmed. There are two versions of 2-channel LED controllers:
      • FW-LED2P F3421,
      • FW-LED2D (to be mounted on DIN rail F3422).
  • B - a roller blind
    • Roller blinds are controlled with dedicated controllers, managed by local buttons connected directly to a controller, or, more conveniently, by a handheld remote control. There are two versions of the controllers (230 VAC):
      • FW-STR1P F3521,
      • FW-STR1D (to be mounted on DIN rail F3422).
  • C - an electrical appliance with switch ON/OFF control
    • This type of devices can be controlled with relay modules. The dedicated relay modules are composed of one or two relays. The switch ON/OFF function can be performed locally (with additional keys connected to a module) or wirelessly, by a handheld remote control. The available relay modules:
      • Single bistable relay FW-R1P F3211,
      • Single bistable relay FW-R1D (to be mounted on DIN rail F3422),
      • Double bistable relay FW-R2D F3221,
      • Double bistable relay FW-R2D (to be mounted on DIN rail F3422).
  • D - a dimmable light source
    • The control of dimmable light sources is carried out by dedicated dimmers. A light source can be switched ON/OFF and dimmed/lightened to a desirable level either locally (with additional keys connected to the dimmer module) or remotely ( with a handheld remote control). The available dimmers:
      • Wireless dimmer FW-D1P F3311,
      • Wireless dimmer FW-D1D (to be mounted on DIN rail F3422).
  • E - 5-button transmitter (to be placed in a Ø60 flush-mounted box)
    • The transmitter controls paired modules.
  • F - handheld remote control
    • Handheld remote controls allow users to control paired components of F&Wave systems. The available units:
