Description
The RF Solutions MAINSLINK is designed to offer a solution to switched live ca- bling. When a cable run is awkward or expensive to achieve, the MAINSLINK can be used, saving time and money.
Ordering Information
MAINSLINK is very easy to connect, simply wire as follows: MAINSLINK-TX - Transmitter: 1. Run a switched Live from your external device or switch to the MAINSLINK-TX Transmitter and connect into the screw terminal marked: L (Live) 2. Run a Neutral to the MAINSLINK-TX and connect to the terminal marked N (Neutral).

Connect the Supply: LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH. Connect the Live to the screw terminal marked: LIVE then connect the NEUTRAL and EARTH respectively. 2. Connect the LOAD to the receiver and wire in as required. 3. In most applications the LOAD would be wired as shown in FIG 1.2 Important Notes:
- All mains powered units must be earthed
- Hardwired units must be connected via an isolating switch

36.00 88.00 88.00~25.00 30.00 Fixing Instructions: 1. Fix the rear of the MAINSLINK enclosure to the wall using the template above. 2. Ensure that all fixing screws are screwed flush to the enclosure. 3. Ensure that the screw covers are put in place. These ensure water proofing and insulate the PCB from the wall fixing screws. Screw Covers are found inside the rear of the enclosure. 4. Once the enclosure is fixed to the wall, screw the on front plate with the PCB in place. FIG 1.3 Wall Mounting Template All dimensions in mm Dimensions and Wall mounting information: MAINSLINK is a professional use product and should only be installed by a competent person.
To pair the MAINSLINK–RX it must have a 230Vac supply connected. 1. Briefly place a magnet on the receiver by the MAINSLINK-RX as shown in FIG1.3. This will put the system in learn mode. FIG 1.3 FIG 1.4 Pairing a Receiver NOTE: MAINSLINK Systems are supplied pre-paired. This process is described for advanced use only. Erasing a Receiver 2. When the receiver is in learn mode you will need to pair the transmitter within 10 seconds. To do this you must apply the 230Vac supply to the transmitter for 2 sec- onds and then turn it off. 3. Allow 15 seconds for the receiver to return to normal operation. To erase all transmitters from the MAINSLINK-RX hold a magnet beside the learn switch for 10 seconds as shown in FIG 1.4. NOTE: You cannot erase individual MAINSLINK-TX units. 230Vac
Operational Features and Advanced Instructions: System Communication: The MAINSLINK-TX transmitter automatically sends it’s status to the MAINSLINK-RX Receiver every time the SWITCHED LIVE wired into the TX becomes active. The MAINSLINK-RX receiver then mirrors the MAINSLINK-TX Transmitters’ status. Fail safe “Watchdog” feature The Watchdog Feature improved reliability for the system. When enabled, the MAINSLINK-TX automatically sends a background signal every 20 secs when its input is active. The MAINSLINK-RX expects to receive this background watchdog signal. If it fails to receive one watchdog signal within a two minute period it will deactivate its output. Multiple system operation: Each MAINSLINK transmitter is uniquely coded, this means that no two systems will cross operate by default. If multiple transmitters or receivers are required to work together the MAINSLINK can be programmed to work together. One to Many Operation: To pair a transmitter of receivers together the following process must be done: 1) Apply power to MAINSLINK-RX (once powered do not touch the PCB!) 2) Pass a magnet close to the magnetic learn switch, you should see an LED start to flash 3) Whilst this LED is flashing apply power to the MAINSLINK-TX and then power unit off 4) MAINSLINK-RX will stop flashing its LED 5) Your MAINSLINK-TX will now operate your MAINSLINK-RX 6) Pairing complete Advanced Tip: It is not recommended to have too many systems operating in one location however, as effective operation could become compromised. Power Supply The MAINSLINK is designed to operate between 110-230V in a fixed installation. Before removing the cover on either Transmitter or Receiver ensure that the mains input supply is isolated. Maintenance to the product that involves removal of the cover should only be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician.
