How to Remote Control Light Stations

A beacon is a light or fire on the hill or tower which acts as a signal or a warning to help guide navigator to their destination with safety.We also can say "Light Station" One customer said, “I’m looking for a system which can remotely control (200m max) ignition of a light station in 24 V dc”.

We recommend him the model of single channel 24V power output RF remote (S1X-DC24-ANT2 +1CB-2). Single channel is for one device. 24V direct power output can supply power directly to the device which is controlled. User can turn on/off the receiver with transmitter (remote control) from any place within a reliable distance; the wireless RF signal can pass through walls, floors and doors. The receiver, which mounts long range magnetic antenna, pairs with long distance transmitter to reach to 2000m in the open field.

There are 3 control modes. They are Toggle, momentary and latched.
Setting control mode Toggle: Only connect Jumper-2.
1) Press big button: Turn on the relay.
Press big button again: Turn off the relay.
2) Setting control mode Momentary: Only connect Jumper-1.
Press and hold big button: Turn on the relay.
Release big button: Turn off the relay.
3) Setting control mode Latched: Do not connect Jumper-1 and Jumper-2.
Press big button: Turn on the relay.
Press small button: Turn off the relay.
As regards controlling beacon, we suggest the latched mode. Press big button to turn on beacon light, press small button to turn off the light.
For the wiring, it is so simple. The following picture shows. Lamp is connected to terminals A&B on the receiver. The receiver should be supplied 12V power. There is no need to supply power to lamp because lamp can get power from the receiver.
