pretorian TECHNOLOGIES envirOn Wireless Switch 125 Instructions
Product Description
The EnvirON range of environmental controls provides disabled and elderly users with a unique, flexible approach to controlling their environment. EnvirON Switch 125 provides a method to control mains-powered† as well as infra-red devices* such as TVs and radios. Because EnvirON Switch 125 is a wireless device it does not suffer from the directional behaviour of infra-red systems, allowing the user the freedom to place the switch at any position to achieve the most comfortable and practical configuration. EnvirON Hub then converts the wireless signals into infra-red.
Because EnvirON Switch 125 is a single, stand-alone switch it is very straightforward to use, which is a great benefit to users with learning difficulties. Having a single switch to put the TV onto the user’s favourite channel is cognitively straightforward and the availability of the unit in several colours helps to differentiate between switches should there be several in the configuration.

Setting up your EnvirON Switch 125
Step 1. Fitting the batteries
First release the screw from the battery cover on the underside of the unit
and remove the flap. Fit two good-quality AAA sized batteries, paying
particular attention to ensure correct orientation (a moulded ‘+’ symbol
indicates the positive terminal location) then replace the battery cover and
fix using the screw.
If you are not intending to use your EnvirON Switch 125 for an extended period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries to prevent leakage, which may damage the product.
Step 2. Pairing with EnvirON receiver
First of all decide which EnvirON receiver you will be using EnvirON Switch
125 with. This could be EnvirON Hub if you are going to use the switch to
control an infra-red device or it could be an iClick for mains powered devices
or EnvirON Connect for door/ window/ curtain openers and locks. Whichever
receiver you will be using, the procedure is the same:
First of all, press Pair on the receiver. Adjacent to the Pair button will be
a Pairing LED which will flash slowly. While it is flashing, press the Pair
button [1] on EnvirON Switch 125 – see diagram below. The pairing process
typically takes less than a second to complete, after which a ‘P’ will appear
in the display
[3] to show that the switch is now paired with the chosen receiver.
Step 3. Choose the Mode of the switch
The function of the switch is selected using the Mode button [2] and the
display [3]. The mode that you choose differs depending on whether you are
using the switch to control an infra-red device or a wireless device:
Wireless devices
The Mode of the switch tells the receiver with which it is paired what to do
when it receives some information from the switch. You can decide whether the
device is on only for the time you press the switch (Momentary or Direct),
whether it changes from off to on and vice versa each time the switch is
pressed (Latched) or whether it turns on for a certain period of time (Timed).
Which of these you choose depends to a large extent on the type of device you
are controlling. For example if it’s a lamp, you will probably want it to be
in Latched mode whereas if it’s a door opener you may need it to be Timed.
Use Table 1 to choose the correct mode for the device you are going to control with the switch and then press the Mode button [2] repeatedly until you see that setting appear on the display [3]. After a few seconds of making no further changes, the display goes blank to save power and the new setting is retained in the switch’s memory even if the batteries are removed or run flat.
For example, let’s suppose that we would like to have the switch control a lamp plugged into channel 1 of iClick. Having already paired the switch using PAIR 1 on iClick, we must now set the Mode of the switch to ‘2’ which is latched. Each time we press the switch the lamp will change from on to off and vice versa.
Note that Modes 23 and 24 give ‘On Only’ and ‘Off Only’ operation and must be used as a pair to achieve full control of a device. In some cases it can be cognitively more straightforward to have a separate switch for on and off and these two modes provide such a facility. You could, for example, attach a photo of a lamp turned on and another of it turned off to the switches. If you would like to make use of this feature, pair two switches with the Envir ON receiver and set one to Mode 23 (On Only) and the other to Mode 24 (Off Only).
Infra-Red Devices
If you are going to use your switch to control an infra-red device such as a
TV, you will need to pair it with an EnvirON Hub. You must then choose which
Mode to set the switch to in order to achieve the required action. The switch
will then send the relevant information to Hub wirelessly and Hub will convert
it to infra-red for the TV.
You should already have programmed the required infra-red codes into Hub and also written them onto the provided Infra-Red Chart. If not, please do this now, by reference to the Hub instruction booklet, before proceeding.
Now look down the entries in the Infra-Red Chart and choose the function you would like to assign to the switch. For example, it may be Power On/Off or Channel Up. Read the Code number for that infra-red function and set the switch Mode to the same number.
Let’s suppose we want to set the switch to Channel Up, which according to the Infra-Red Chart is on Code 2. Then press the Mode button [2] repeatedly until you see ‘2’ appear on the display [3]. After a few seconds of making no further changes, the display goes blank to save power and the new setting is retained in the switch’s memory even if the batteries are removed or run flat.
The switch will now instruct the TV to increase the channel number each time it is pressed, via Hub.
Mounting
Your EnvirON Switch 125 has industry-standard mounting holes to allow it to be mounted on a mounting system or fixed to a surface to prevent it moving around. The tapped holes require M4 set screws.
Maintenance.
Your EnvirON Switch 125 contains no user serviceable parts. If repair is necessary the unit should be returned to Pretorian Technologies or an authorised distributor.
Warranty
Your EnvirON Switch 125 is warranted against defects in manufacturing and component failure. The unit is designed for domestic and educational applications. Use outside these areas will invalidate the warranty. Unauthorised repair or modification, mechanical abuse, immersion in any liquid or connection to incompatible sources of power will also invalidate the warranty.
