- Screwless Terminals: For secure and easy wiring connections.
- I-S1, S2: Input terminals for external switches/buttons.
- N: Neutral wire connection.
- L: Live wire connection (AC 230V).
- I-V1, V2: Output terminals for controlled loads (e.g., lighting, appliances).
5. Ukusetha nokufakwa
Before proceeding with installation, ensure power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker.
5.1 Izintambo Iziyalezo
- Ukunqanyulwa kwamandla: Turn off the main power supply to the circuit where the actuator will be installed. Verify with a voltagumhloli.
- Xhuma Amandla:
- Xhuma i- Bukhoma (L) wire (AC 230V) to the 'L' terminal on the actuator.
- Xhuma i- Imaphakathi (N) wire to the 'N' terminal on the actuator.
- Xhuma Imithwalo:
- Connect the load (e.g., light fixture) to the V1 kanye/noma V2 terminals. Ensure the neutral wire of the load is connected to the main neutral line.
- Connect External Switches (Optional):
- If using external push-buttons or switches, connect them to the S1 futhi S2 terminals. These inputs can be configured for various control modes.
- Vikela Ukufakwa: Place the actuator securely within a suitable electrical box or enclosure.
- Buyisela Amandla: Uma konke ukuxhumana sekuphephile futhi kuqinisekisiwe, buyisela amandla ku-circuit breaker.
5.2 Matter Network Integration
To integrate the RFSAI-62B-SL/MT into your smart home system, you will need:
- One or more Thread Border Routers connected to your Wi-Fi network.
- A Matter-compatible hub (e.g., Home Assistant, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa).
- The associated mobile application for your chosen Matter hub.
Follow the pairing instructions provided by your Matter hub's application. Typically, this involves putting the device into pairing mode (often by pressing the PROG/RESET button for a specified duration) and scanning a QR code or entering a pairing code provided with the device.
6. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza
Once successfully integrated into your Matter network, the RFSAI-62B-SL/MT can be controlled in several ways:
- Via Matter Hub Application: Use your preferred Matter controller application (e.g., Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home) to remotely switch the connected loads ON or OFF.
- Via External Switches: If wired, the S1 and S2 inputs allow control via traditional wall switches or push-buttons. The functionality of these inputs can be configured within your Matter ecosystem.
- Via Wireless Wall Switches: Compatible wireless wall switches, such as the ELKO EP RFGB-40-MT, can be paired with the actuator for convenient local control without additional wiring.
- PROG/RESET Button: While primarily for pairing and resetting, the PROG button may also offer basic toggle functionality depending on the specific firmware and Matter configuration.
7. Isondlo
The ELKO EP RFSAI-62B-SL/MT is designed for maintenance-free operation. However, consider the following:
- Ukuhlanza: If necessary, gently wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ukuvuselelwa kwe-Firmware: Periodically check your Matter hub's application for available firmware updates for the actuator to ensure optimal performance and security.
- Izimo Zemvelo: Ensure the device remains within its specified operating environment (temperature, humidity) to prevent damage.
8. Ukuxazulula izinkinga
| Inkinga | Imbangela Engenzeka | Isixazululo |
|---|---|---|
| Idivayisi ayiphenduli. | No power; Not paired; Out of Thread network range. | Check power supply; Re-pair the device; Ensure it's within range of a Thread Border Router. |
| Cannot connect to Matter network. | Incorrect pairing procedure; Matter hub issue; Thread Border Router issue. | Refer to your Matter hub's pairing guide; Restart Matter hub and Thread Border Router; Try factory resetting the actuator (long press PROG/RESET button). |
| Connected load does not switch. | Incorrect wiring; Overload; Faulty load. | Verify wiring connections; Check load's power consumption against actuator's max rating (2000W/8A); Test the load independently. |
| External switch (S1/S2) not working. | Incorrect wiring; Switch type not compatible; Configuration issue in Matter app. | Check wiring to S1/S2; Ensure switch is compatible (e.g., momentary push-button vs. toggle); Verify input configuration in your Matter hub. |
