inELS RFIM-40B BP-SL Input Contact Converter
Characteristics
- RFIM-40/BP-SL: this wireless converter of the contact changes the wired pushbutton / switch to a wireless one.
- 4 inputs enable mutually independent control of 4 elements.
- battery power supply (3V/CR123A – included in the packing) with a lifespan of approx. 8 years, depending on the frequency of use.
- the contact may be closed permanently.
- RFIM-40B/230-SL: this converter of the contact changes the pushbutton / switch with local commercial power supply to a wireless one.
- 4 inputs enable mutually independent control of 4 elements.
- power supply from the network; the inputs respond to activation of the commercial power supply.
- It can be used for transmission of information about closing of a contact (of a detector, pushbutton, technology, logic output).
- After pressing the pushbutton the preset command (ON/OFF, dimming, timed switching off/on, pulling the blinds up/down) is sent.
- Optional setting of scenes, where one pressing of a pushbutton controls more iNELS RF Control elements.
- Reach up to 200m (in open space); in case of insufficient signal strength between the controller and elements, a signal repeater type RFRP-20 can be used, or use the elements with the RFIO2 protocol that support this function.
- Communication frequency with the RFIO two-way protocol.
- The BOX design offers installation directly in an installation box under a pushbutton/switch.

Indicators, settings
Newly produced drivers work in the RFIO2 data protocol mode.
These drivers are loaded in the actuators in a different way than before.
Among other things, it eliminates the risk of inadvertently loading another
randomly occurring controller within range. Drivers can still be switched to
so-called compatibility mode, and loaded in a simpler (older way).
The mode in which the controllers are working is changed and indicated after
8-second pressing of the ‘Prog’ button. The LED diode under the pushbutton is
on when the button is kept pressed; after 8 seconds it indicates the chosen
mode by different flashing intervals. The mode changes to the inverse mode
after each pressing of the button.
RFIO2 mode
= Double flash (flash, flash, gap, flash, flash)
Compatibility mode
= Flash fast (flash, flash, flash, flash, flash)
Update the controller actuators in RFIO2 mode
If the controller is used in RFIO2 mode, then to update the controller
actuators, it is necessary to switch not only the actuator to the update mode
(according to the instructions for the actuator), but also the controller in
the following way:
- Press the programming button on the controller, converter for more than 1 second and release it.
- The LED diode starts fl ashing in second intervals. Leave the LED fl ashing activate the programming mode on the actuator by pressing the programming button for more than 1 second. The actuator is also put into the programming mode.
- The desired function can be selected by the respective number of pressing of the control pushbuttons or inputs (of the converter).
- The programming modes on the controller and actuator can be closed by pressing the programming button for less than 1 second. The LEDs stop flashing.
Use a suitable tool (paper clip, screwdriver) to push on the control pin. The batteries are raised and the programming button is released.
After removing the control fl aps, the programming button is accessible
The programming button is operated with a suitable thin tool.

Attention:
When you instal iNELS RF Control system, you have to keep minimal distance 1
cm between each units.
Between the individual commands must be an interval of at least 1s.
Insertion and replacement of a battery
Batteries is inserted in the product. Before using for the first time, remove the insulating tape from the battery contacts by pulling in the direction of the arrow.
Using a screwdriver and a light lever in the groove outwards, unlock the four sides of the snap.
Remove the top cover of the product.
Remove the old battery and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.
Insert a new battery, paying attention to the polarity of the battery.
Replace the cover, pushing the tabs in the corners.
Warning
Instruction manual is designated for mounting and also for user of the device.
It is always a part of its packing. Installation and connection can be carried
out only by a person with adequate professional qualifi cation upon
understanding this instruction manual and functions of the device, and while
observing all valid regulations. Trouble-free function of the device also
depends on transportation, storing and handling.
In case you notice any sign of damage, deformation, malfunction or missing
part, do not install this device and return it to its seller. It is necessary
to treat this product and its parts as electronic waste after its lifetime is
terminated. Before starting installation, make sure that all wires, connected
parts or terminals are de-energized. While mounting and servicing observe
safety regulations, norms, directives and professional, and export regulations
for working with electrical devices. Do not touch parts of the device that are
energized – life threat. Due to transmissivity of RF signal, observe correct
location of RF components in a building where the installation is taking
place. RF Control is designated only for mounting in interiors. Devices are
not designated for installation into exteriors and humid spaces. The must not
be installed into metal switchboards and into plastic switchboards with metal
door – transmissivity of RF signal is then impossible. RF Control is not
recommended for pulleys etc. – radiofrequency signal can be shielded by an
obstruction, interfered, battery of the transceiver can get flat etc. and thus
disable remote control.
