1. Introduction
Adeunis receivers allow you to control up to 4 relays according to instructions sent using ARF7291 remote
controls.
This is a unidirectional system. The link between the remote control and the receiver is only effective after a
training phase.

TheARF7341isxedviatheattachmentlugsonthetop(aerial)andbottom(sealedhousing)ofthecasing.Any
work carried out (drilling…) on the casing will cause it to lose its IP65 watertight approval.
Remove the two stainless steel screws (A and B) and release the lower part to access the power supply termi-
nals and the contacts.
2.2. Power supply voltage
The product must be powered with a 15 to 30V DC power supply that complies with SELV (note: maximum vol-
tages that should not be exceeded: 42.4Vac or 60Vdc).
The product’s power supply must comply with EN 60950-1 (2006 ed) or EN61010-1 and must be of limited power
(§ 2.5 of EN 60950-1 (2006 ed)).
The power supply and relay cables must be 6.5 mm in diameter (1 & 2 relays) or 10 mm (4 relays), black in
colour, and be able to carry a current of 10 amperes/per conductor. The number of conductors (cf ¶ 2.2) must
correspond to the number of relay terminals used, plus those required for the power supply.
Each multi-strand connector must be equipped with an end.
Switch off the power supply, then connect the power supply to the screw terminals marked + and -.

2.3. Connecting the dry contact
The ARF7341 receiver (4 relays) includes 4 relays with a normally open contact (NO). The contact’s characte-
ristics are 10A / 230V. They can be used in mono or bistable mode (by groups of 2 relays: relays 1-2 and relays
3-4).
In bistable mode, the output switches on each input (the state of the contact switches each time you press a key
on the remote control).
In monostable mode, the relay is closed during input (while the remote control key is being pressed).

2.4. Procedures for installing/wiring relay receivers
The procedures described below must be followed exactly in order to ensure the correct operation and the elec-
trical safety of the ARF18 products.
The wires connected to each relay must be bound and isolated by a rilsan collar. The rilsan collar attached to the
power supply wires must also be installed in the hole drilled for the purpose in the PCB (see diagram below).
The type of power supply chosen must be identical for all the relays: SELV or mains

2.5. Training procedure
You can save up to 83 remote controls for one receiver.
For this operation we recommend cutting the electricity supply to the contacts.
This section describes the procedure designed to associate a remote control with the ARF7341’s outputs; this
association is also called the training procedure. This procedure is compulsory.
This section also describes how to erase all the remote controls associated with the receiver.

4.1.2 On each new connection of the remote control receiver
This receiver is seen as a virtual COM port available via the USB bus. Users must acquire the number of the
serial COM port assigned to the receiver in order to be able to communicate with it. Please refer to our «USB
driver installation guide» in order to obtain the serial COM port number.
IMPORTANT NOTE
It the receiver was previously connected to your PC, make sure that it was not disconnected without the terminal
session being closed. If this is the case, the driver will appear as though it has not been installed properly in the
Windows peripheral manager – this is shown via the «!» icon. If this situation occurs, close the terminal session
that was open previously, disconnect the remote control receiver then restart the connection procedure.
4.1.3 Power supply voltage
The remote control receiver is self-powered and does not need an external power supply.

Ondelivery,thereceiverisoperational(thedefaultfactorycongurationis9600,n,8,1).
However you can customize the module’s parameters by using the serial interface (RS232 or USB) which is de-
dicated to AT commands. You can send these commands from a terminal (with a delay of less than 10 seconds
between each character).
Commandmodeisusedtoreadandupdatethemodule’scongurationregisters.Theregistersaredividedinto
two types: read only (W) and read/write (R/W) (cf Section 6 «Training procedures»).
4.3.1 Commands
A command starts with the 2 ASCII «AT» characters – «AT means «Attention» – followed by one or more cha-
racters or other data.
Each command must end with a <cr> (carriage return, ASCII code 0x0D).
The response sent on the serial output for each command corresponds to the ASCII character ‘O’ for a command
that is accepted and the ASCII character ‘E’ for an error.

The response will have the following format:
Sn=y<cr><lf>
ATSn=m Assigns the value ‘m’ to the register Sn. n represents the register number (for
example, selection of the number of stop bits: ATS213=1).
AT/S Displays the register values. The response will have the following format:
Sxxx=y<cr><lf> for each register.
AT/V Displays the software version. The response will have the following format:

This is a unidirectional system: the system behaves like 4 links where, for example, digital output 1 corresponds
to input 1 (key 1 on the remote control), digital output 2 to input 2 (key 2 of the remote control), etc.
The serial output is constantly available. The 4 digital outputs are available after a training phase. The outputs
can operate in monostable mode (closed when the remote control key is pressed) or in bistable mode (the posi-
tion changes each time the corresponding key on the remote control is pressed). The module comprises several
inputsdedicatedtothechoiceoftrainingmodeandthechoicebetweenmonostableandbistableoutputcongu-
rations.
The ARF7293’s parameters can be updated (serial link, programming mode, output mode...) using AT commands
via the serial link. With an appropriate serial adapter, the module can be connected to an RS232 cable.

remote control received over the radio link. The format of the ASCII frame received is as follows:
:<serial number> <Key number> <CR><LF>
• : (ASCII code 0x3A)
• theserialnumberistheserialnumberoftheremotecontrolindecimalformat(1to8gures).
• followed by a space (ASCII code 0x20).

• CR (ASCII code 0x0D), LF (ASCII code 0x0A)
In addition, if the remote control has been paired (training process) with the receiver, outputs 1 to 4 of the recei-
ver are managed according to the key that has been pressed on the remote control. For example: output 1 for
key 1 up to output 4 for key 4. These outputs work in monostable or bistable mode depending on inputs Sel0 and
Sel1. For further details, cf section 2.4 «Remote control training process».

6.1. Hardware interface
This section describes the inputs and outputs of the module used to control training mode. The pins may change
according to the model of the receiver module. Please check the receiver’s user guide,
Pin name Direction Description
Add/Remove Input Logic ‘1’ assigned: The «Add/Remove» function is disabled.
Logic ‘0’ assigned: The «Add/Remove» function is enabled.
Erase Input Logic ‘1’ assigned: The «Erase» function is disabled.
Logic ‘0’ assigned: The «Erase» function is enabled.

When the module is not in training mode, input “Sel0” selects the type
of functionality of digital outputs 1 and 2, and “Sel1” the type of functio-
nality of digital outputs 3 and 4.
• logic ‘0’ on “Sel0”: digital outputs 1 and 2 in bistable mode.‘
• logic ‘0’ on “Sel1”: digital outputs 3 and 4 in bistable mode.‘
• logic ‘1’ on “Sel0”: digital outputs 1 and 2 in monostable mode.‘
• logic ‘1’ on “Sel1”: digital outputs 3 and 4 in monostable mode.‘
Global Input
The global input is used to determine whether the training operation is
carried out or not for several digital outputs.
• Logic ‘0’ on “Global”: the training operation is carried out for seve-
ral outputs (inputs «Sel0» and «Sel1» are ignored). Functionality
depends on the function chosen («Erase» or «Add/Remove»).
• Logic ‘1’ on “Global”: the training operation only applies to the digital
output chosen with ‘Sel0’ and ‘Sel1’.
Digital output 1 Output This output is one of the four outputs controlled by the module when a
signal is received from a remote control saved for this output.
Digital output 2 Output This output is one of the four outputs controlled by the module when a
signal is received from a remote control saved for this output.
Digital output 3 Output This output is one of the four outputs controlled by the module when a
signal is received from a remote control saved for this output.
Digital output 4 Output This output is one of the four outputs controlled by the module when a
signal is received from a remote control saved for this output.

Gamme ARF18 UG V1.5
PCB recommendations
If they are not used, the training inputs must be connected as described below:
• «Add/Remove» and «Erase» must be connected to logic ‘1’ .
• «Sel0» and «Sel1» must be connected either to logic ‘1’, or to logic ‘0’, depending on how the digital outputs
are used (bistable or monostable). Paired outputs are not used, «Sel0» and «Sel1» must be connected. In
this case, logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’’ can be applied.
• “Global” must be connected either to logic ‘1’ or logic ‘0’.
Authentication of the remote control is based on the remote control’s serial number. The key number that has
been depressed is also used to determine which digital outputs must be set. When the training procedure is
carried out, the receiver on the one hand records a pair in its database [serial number of the remote control + key
number] and also the output or outputs (1 to 4) to be controlled when this pair is received.
The training procedure only applies to controlling digital outputs. No training process is necessary in order to
receive a remote command on the serial link. All the remote-control serial number + key pairs are transferred on
the serial link, including the pair that controls the digital outputs.
When a remote command is received, the following operation is carried out:
• The remote-control serial number + key pairs are sent on the serial link in the form of ASCII text in the fol-
lowing format: “:<serial number> <key number><CR><LF>”, with a serial number between 0 and 16777215,
followed by a space (ACSII code 0x20) and a key number between “01” and “24”. The serial number is in
decimal format.
• The receiver explores the remote command database for the serial number + key pair received, in order to
ndtheoutputstocontrol.
• If an entry is found in the receiver database, the corresponding outputs are controlled. If the output to be
controlled is output 1 or 2, the input switch Sel0 is read and used to determine how to control the output: If
the level assigned is logic ‘0’, the output is in bistable mode. If the level assigned is logic ‘1’, the output is in
monostable mode. The same applies to outputs 3 and 4 /Sel1.
Bistable mode:
When an output is used in bistable mode, the state of the output is reversed each time a key on the remote
control controlling this output is pressed.
Monostable mode:
When an output is used in monostable mode, the output is set to logic ‘1’ when the user presses the key. The
output is set to logic ‘0’ when the remote control key is released.
The receiver operates in normal mode when the «Add/Remove» and «Erase» inputs are set to logic ‘1’ and
when all the registers ATS801=ATS802=ATS803=ATS804=ATS805=0.
6.2. Training modes
Training modes are entered either by applying the appropriate levels to the module’s inputs (Sel0, Sel1, Global,
Add/Remove, Erase) or by using the serial link and AT commands.
For this section, we will assume that a set of switches is connected to the module and that logic ‘0’ corresponds
to the «ON» position of the module input. We will also assume that an LED is connected to the module’s «LED»
output.
Two commands are available:
Add/Remove: when the logic level on this input is set to «0», the remote-control serial number + key pair can be
added to or removed from the receiver’s database for a chosen output.
63
Gamme ARF18 UG V1.5
Example, in order to link a pair [remote control serial number + key number] to an output, you must: select the
output with «Sel0» and «Sel1», set «Add/Remove» to «0», then press the remote control key. If the link already
exists in the receiver’s database, this operation will cause it to disappear from the database.
Erase: when level ‘0’ is assigned to this input, this erases all the pairs [serial number + key] from the database for
an output chosen with the pins «Sel0» and «Sel1». After this operation, the chosen output is no longer controlled
by any remote control. For security reasons, this operation is carried out after receipt of a valid message from
any remote control.
Note: association of a command with the «Global» pin.
Enabling the «Global» input (application of level «0») changes the behaviour of the Add/Remove and Erase
commands as follows:
Add/Remove command:
• If the remote control used (the key does not matter) controls at least one output on the receiver, all the asso-
ciations for this remote control are removed: this remote control no longer controls any outputs.
• If the remote control used does not control an output, the following associations are created:
• Key 1 controls output 1, key 2 controls output 2, key 3 controls output 3 and key 4 controls output 4.
Erase command: all the associations in the receiver’s memory are erased. The outputs are no longer controlled
by any remote-control.
Some important behaviours during the training phases:
• all the keys pressed on the remote control are sent on the serial link.
• the receiver operates in training mode if one of the «Add/Remove» or «Erase» inputs is set to logic
‘0’ or if one of the AT registers (ATS801, ATS802, ATS803, ATS804, ATS805) is set to a value other
than 0.
• “Add/Remove” and “Erase” must not be simultaneously set to «0».
• AT commands have priority over switch inputs. If one of the AT commands (ATS801, ATS802, ATS803,
ATS804, ATS805) is set to a value other than 0, the switch inputs are ignored.
The following tables summarise the training mode options and the procedure for creating associations between
serial number + key pairs and the digital outputs.

6.3. ADD / REMOVE and ERASE operation: RESTRICTIONS FOR 8/24 key remote controls
The use of the ADD/REMOVE or ERASE functions for a chosen output, mixing remote controls with 4 keys (keys
1 to 4) and key numbers greater than 4 (keys 5 to 24):
• An ADD operation for a chosen relay with a key greater than or equal to 5 will be seen as a global addition
(for example, key 5 will be associated with relay 1, key 6 will be associated with relay 2, key 7 will be asso-
ciated with relay 3, key 8 will be associated with relay 4).
• A REMOVE operation for a chosen relay will lead to global removal if recording has been carried out for a
key greater than or equal to 5 (for example, if key 5 is associated with relay 1, key 6 with relay 2, key 7 with
relay 3, and key 8 with relay 4, ALL the associations will be removed).
• An ERASE operation for a chosen relay will lead to a global erase if recording has been carried out for a key
greater than or equal to 5 (for example, if key 5 is associated with relay 1, key 6 with relay 2, key 7 with relay
3, and key 8 with relay 4, ALL the associations will be erased).
Global ADD/REMOVE operation
With command and selection inputs With AT commands
1/ Select «Add/Remove» mode by setting the Add/
Remove input to «0».
2/ Make sure that the «Global» input is set to «0» and
that the «Erase» input is disabled.

4/ Exit «Add/Remove» mode by setting the Add/
Remove input to «1».
1/ Enter the following AT command:
ATS805=2 in order to select Add/Remove in global
mode.
2/ Press a key on the remote control that needs to
added to or removed from the receiver.
3/ Exit «Add/Remove» mode by setting the register
used to «0». ATS805=0.
Two results are possible with this operation:
• Previously, this remote control controlled at least one of the receiver’s digital outputs: all the links
between this remote control and the outputs are removed. The LED ashes twice.
• Previously, this remote control did not control any of the receiver’s digital outputs: the following
links are created in the receiver’s database for this remote control: key 1 controls output 1, key 2
controls output 2, key 3 controls output 3, key 4 controls output 4. The LED ashes once.
