Long Range Automatic Water Pumping System

Recently, I found a product which is specially designed for controlling the water pump motor. It is long range automatic water pumping system.


There are some remarkable characteristics of this new product. The supplier add external extend antenna which makes the transmitting distance of this system as long as 2000m. There are two operation methods of this remote controller. The first method is to control water pump motor with manual controller. The second method is to control water pump motor automatically by two mini water level sensors.
The manual operation is fairly easy. When pressing the big button of the transmitter, CB-2, the “ON” signal will be sent to the receiver. The receiver will instruct water pump motor to pump water into the tank. When pressing the small button of the transmitter, CB-2, the “OFF” signal will be sent to the receiver. The receiver will instruct water pump motor to stop pumping water.
Pumping water automation by water level sensors is the highlight of this product. The key technology is the transmitter, CB-2N-2, which is designed to have 3 external wires. They named them wire 1, wire 2 and wire 3. The three wires will be connected to two mini water level sensors.
Let’s show you how it works.
First step, it is installation.
Put the water level sensor 1 downwards and install at the low water level position; Put the water level sensor 2 upwards and install at the high water level position.






 

Two wires of the water level sensor 1 are connected to wire 1 and wire 3 of transmitter CB-2N-2.
Two wires of the water level sensor 2 are connected to wire 2 and wire 3 of transmitter CB-2N-2.



Motor should be connected to A&B terminal and L&N terminal of receiver S1PUA-AC220-ANT2.


Second step:
When water reaches the low water level, two wires of the water level sensor 1 is connected and the transmitter is triggered. The transmitter will send an ‘ON”’ signal to the receiver. The receiver will instruct the water pump motor to pump water into the tank.



When water reaches the high water level, two wires of the water level sensor 2 is connected and the transmitter is triggered. The transmitter will send an “OFF” signal to the receiver. The receiver will instruct the water pump motor to stop pumping water.

One to Many Remote Control System

Lisa is an electrical supervisor for Lighting Services Company. They are a big installer of festive lighting and have been asked by some of their clients if they can supply remote switch to turn on and off all the lights which are controlled at the same time. She needed 1 transmitter and 8 receivers all working on the same channel. The receivers will need to 240v and be capable of controlling 980 watts lights totally. She wondered if there is a system with one transmitter and 8 receiver units with antenna.
So she was looking for any favorable products on the internet. She found a kind of one to many remote control system.
This control system operating voltage is AC110~240V. It is very favorable for this customer’s need.
They are long range remote control kit.
Lisa wanted to prepare 1 transmitter and 8 receivers to control 8 lights simultaneously like the following picture.













Each of receivers will be paired with a light.
Wiring operation is fairly simple. Lisa told me the method which the supplier showed to her.
Wires from light are supposed to be connected to the output terminal of the receiver. We do it one by one. And receivers must be all powered by 240V power supply.
Here is the demonstration from the supplier.



Pressing the big button, 2 lights will be turned on simultaneously.















Pressing the small button, 2 lights will be turned off at the same time.




Remote Control 3 Phase Power Water pump

My friend has a pump that supplies his farm with water. The motor on the pump is 3.5kw and is 3 phase power. The pump fills a 5000 litre tank which lasts about a day. The on-off switch is roughly 1000m away from his house (no line of sight, lots of trees in-between). Recently, he wanted to know would he be able to connect it to the switch so that he can switch the pump on and off from home 1000m away? Why didn’t he choose remote control system to control the water pump?
I thought the method was feasible for him. So I suggested that he should buy a long range remote control system.
After several days, he showed me his device and installation.
With external extend antenna, this remote control unit can be long range controller. Transmitting distance is about 1000m. But how to remote control 3 phase power water pump? Besides the transmitter and receiver, we should prepare a relay which is applied to the pump, my friend told me. Here is the relay.


















Let’s see how to install and operate.
Step 1, the relay should be connected to the receiver. Then three live wires are connected to the relay and power supply.
Step 2, another three live wires to connect the relay and water pump.
Step 3, power to the receiver. Pressing the big button of the transmitter, the receiver will receive an “ON” signal to instruct the reply and pump to pump water into the tank. Pressing the small button of the transmitter, the receiver will receive an “OFF” signal to instruct the reply and pump stop pumping water.

1 Channel Toggle Remote Control an 2400 Watts Electric Heater

A few day ago, I came up with a good idea when I stared at my electric heater. Why didn't I use remote controller to operate this 2400 watts electric heater? So I try to do what I think. I bought a remote controller with toggle mode on the internet . That is a high power remote control kit.

Let me show you how they work.
First, wire a power strip to the receiver and power supply. I used a power strip because I don't want to damage the plug and wires of the heater. (See the following picture)
Second, the receiver is powered by power supply.
Third, plug the electric heater to that power strip.
Pressing the button, the electric heater is turned on.

















Pressing the button again, the electric heater is turned off. 

















DIY Wireless Remote Control Car LED Tail Lamp

Supposing we have to refit our car or truck for our needs sometimes. Or some items, such as lamps,loudspeakers,will be moved to another position from original position. 

Certainly, the rewiring become difficult and inconvenient. Is there any other methods to make this wiring easier? Can we try to change to wireless remote control items in car? 
So we decide to simulate wireless remote control LED tail lamp in the car.

In the beginning, we will prepare the following items:
1x LED lamp
1x manual switch
Power supply

We would like to simulate the operation of LED lamp in the car initially. LED lamp should be connected to power supply and a manual switch.

















Usually, we switch the manual switch to turn the light on and off just like we control the tail lamp in the car.
















Now, we start to operate how to wirelessly remote control LED lamp. First, the transmitter is supposed to be connected to power supply and that manual switch.

















Second, LED light should be connected to receiver.




Third, we switch on the manual switch and the transmitter will send an “ON” signal to the receiver. The receiver receives the signal to instruct the light to turn on.



Fourth, we switch off the manual switch and the transmitter will send an “OFF” signal to the receiver. The receiver receives the signal to instruct the light to turn off.

How does the mercury switch remote control the garbage bin

I  have a mercury switch and I  intends to apply to my garbage bin. So when the truck tips garbage bin, I can know it in time. Now I am looking for a remote control kit which can connect to mercury switch to attach that garbage bin. When the garbage bin is tipped by the truck, the mercury switch is on and triggers the remote controller to turn on the light in the house. So I select this control kit which are model 0020259 S1DA-AC220 & model 0021000 C-1. S1DA-AC220 is a receiver with a timer. C-1 is the transmitter.

First, the mercury switch is supposed to be soldered to those two terminals of button.(see the following picture)

















Second, this unit should be attached to the garbage bin.
Third, the power supply should be connected to the N&L terminal of the receiver.
Wires from the light should be connected to B&N terminal of the receiver. Then we use another wire connect to C&L terminal of the receiver.

















We press buttons of “+” and “-” on the timer to adjust delay time. I set 5 minutes for this timer.
When the truck comes and picks up the garbage bin, the garbage bin will be turned upside down so that the mercury will roll to another side. With connection of two wires at another side through mercury, the transmitter will send signal to receiver. After the receiver receives the signal, the light will shine and last for 5 minutes. Then the light will turn off automatically after 5 minutes. With shining of light, we know that the garbage truck tips garbage into truck and takes away.

How do you know when the truck tips your garbage bin outdoor with RF vibration detector

I just want to use wireless remote controller to attach his garbage bin outside. When the truck picks up the bin and tips garbage, the controller will detects and turns up a light in the house. So I can know that the garbage is taken away. It sounds a very innovative idea. I have no idea to realize it?So I searched on the internet and asked a remote control supplier, they select a remote control kit for me. That is model 0020259 & model 0010032 (S1DA-AC220 & W-12). They are the remote control kit with functions of vibration reminder and time delay.
They told me that W-12 is an RF vibration detector. When the item is vibrated, the vibration detector will be triggered and will send signal to the receiver to instruct the device to work. S1DA-AC220 is a receiver with a timer.

It looks like great.
With the procedure they shown,  I stick the detector to the garbage bin and pull out the antenna. (To see the following picture)




















Then I begin to wire. The power supply should be connected to the N&L terminal of the receiver. Wires from the light should be connected to B&N terminal of the receiver. Then I  use another wire connect to C&L terminal of the receiver. (Wire as the wiring picture they show me)


















The operation time came,  I press buttons of “” and “” on the timer to adjust delay time. I set 5 minutes for this timer.
When the truck comes and picks up the garbage bin, the garbage bin is vibrated so that the vibration detector is triggered and the light will shine and last for 5 minutes. Then the light will turn off automatically after 5 minutes. With shining of light, I know that the garbage truck tips garbage into truck and takes away. I like this little , useful, handy gadget.
