55 Electrical equipmentVolumetric sensors

The remote control consists of an electronic circuit and a radio frequency emitter that is battery supplied.

Whenever the control button is pressed the remote control sends the radio code with a range of about 10 metres.

The luminous LED on the key flashes to indicate the correct button operation.

It also indicates a low battery condition by means of a single brief flash each time the button is pressed.

If the button remains pressed for more than 20 seconds the control signal is suspended to avoid useless battery discharging. Releasing and pressing again will activate the signal once more.

Every remote control has its own code.
