blebox ProxiSwitch v2 Proximity Touch Controller

Product Information

The ProxiSwitch V2 is an invisible switch that allows for touchless control of electric devices. It operates on a voltage range of 12-24V and is designed to be safe and easy to use.

Safety Rules:

  • Do not connect the device to loads exceeding the permitted values.
  • Connect only in accordance with the diagram presented in the manual to avoid dangerous connections that can damage the controller and void the warranty.
  • Always perform assembly work with the power circuit disconnected to minimize the risk of electric shock.
  • Ensure that the power mains meet the quality requirements defined by EN 50081-1, EN 50082-1, UL508, EN 60950 to maintain the warranty.

Product Usage Instruction

Installation – Basics:

  1. Disconnect the supply voltage circuit before installing the controller. Make sure the main voltage is disconnected by switching off the mains fuse or disconnecting the power supply from the socket.
  2. Install the controller in a place protected against adverse environmental conditions and third-party access. It is recommended to mount the device in a stable and fixed position.
  3. Familiarize yourself with the diagram provided in the manual and connect the power wires (+) (red or black with a white dotted line) and (-) (black) first. Pay attention to the designation of the controller connectors.
  4. Connect the LED strip, ensuring correct polarity. The device comes with double-sided adhesive tape on the bottom side for mounting. Clean and dry the surface where it will be adhered, remove the protective film, adhere it in the chosen place, and hold for a few seconds. Remember that the device detects the hand only from the side of the adhesive tape.
  5. Adhere the device to a non-conductive surface such as furniture board or tile. Avoid mounting near metal elements as it may affect the device’s functionality.
  6. During the first 15 seconds after connecting the power source, the device performs an autocalibration process. Do not place your hand or any conductive objects near the device during this time to ensure accurate calibration.
  7. If the device reacts incorrectly during normal operation, force the auto-calibration process by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply to the controller. Avoid placing your hand near the controller for the first 15 seconds after reconnecting the power supply.

Control:
To turn on/off the LED strip, simply close your hand to the controller. The device operates in four operating modes:

  1. Bistable without memory: After switching on the power supply, the output is initially switched off. Each time you close your hand, the output changes. When the power supply is disconnected and reconnected, the output will always be off.

SAFETY RULES

  • Do not connect the device to loads exceeding the permitted values.
  • Connect only in accordance with the diagram presented in the manual. Improper connections may be dangerous, it can damage the controller, and loss of the warranty.
  • DANGER! Risk of electric shock! Even with the device turned off, the outputs may be live. All assembly work should be ALWAYS performed with the disconnected power circuit.
  • The installation of the device to a power mains that does not meet the quality requirements defi ned by EN 50081-1, EN 50082-1, UL508, EN 60950, will result in the loss of the warranty.

INSTALLATION BASICS

  • Disconnect supply voltage circuit before installing the controller. Remember that any mounting works should be carried out when the main voltage is disconnected (switch off the mains fuse or disconnect the power supply from the socket).
  • The controller should be installed in a place protected against adverse environmental conditions, and protected from third-party access. It is recommended that the device be mounted in a stable and fixed position.
  • Familiarize yourself with the diagram and then proceed with the installation of the controller. Pay special attention to the designation of the controller connectors. Start by connecting the power wires: (+) (red or black with a white dotted line) and (-) (black).
  • Connect the LED strip (paying attention to the polarity). The device is equipped with two stripes of double-sided adhesive tape on the bottom side. Before sticking the controller, clean and dry the surface where it will have adhered. Remove the protective film, adhere in the chosen place, and hold for a few seconds. When choosing the mounting location, remember that the device detects the hand only from the side of the adhesive tape.
  • The device should adhere to a non-conductive surface, eg furniture board, tile, etc. If the device is not stably fixed or mounted near metal elements, it may not work properly.
  • Each time the power source is connected, the device performs the auto-calibration process within the first 15 seconds. During this time, do not place your hand or any conductive objects near the device, as this will affect the calibration process.
  • If during normal operation the device reacts incorrectly, force the auto-calibration process by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply to the controller. Remember that after connecting the power supply do not put your hand near the controller for the first 15 seconds!

CONTROL

  • To turn on / off the LED strip, close your hand to the controller.
  • The device can operate in four operating modes:
    1. bistable without memory – after switching on the power supply, the output is switched off, each time you close your hand, the output changes. When the power supply is disconnected and reconnected, the output will always be off.
    2. bistable with memory – after switching on the power supply, the output state depends on the state before the power loss (the last state is remembered 5 seconds after its last change). Each time you close your hand, the output state changes.
    3. monostable NO – after turning on the power, the output is in off state. It turns on when you close your hand.
    4. monostable NC – when the power is turned on, the output is also on. It turns off when you close your hand.
  • To change the operating mode of the device, follow the steps below:
    1. turn on the power, wait 5 seconds until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
    2. turn on the power, wait 10 seconds until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
    3. turn on the power, wait 15 seconds until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
    4. turn on the power. Select the mode by placing your hand close the controller. Each time you close your hand, the number of LED flashes indicates the selected mode.
    5. wait 10 seconds after the last movement until the LED starts flashing; immediately disconnect the power.
    6. after reconnecting the power supply, the device start to work in the newly selected mode.
