Control Mode for Wireless RF System: Momentary, Toggle, Latched and Multiple Control Mode

Control Mode for Wireless RF System: Momentary, Toggle, Latched and Multiple Control Mode

Wireless RF system is composed of a RF transmitter and a RF receiver that can be used for residential, agricultural and industrial automation. You can turn on/ off the receiver with transmitter (remote control) from any place within a reliable distance; the wireless RF signal can pass through walls, floors and doors. We have different working range of wireless RF system, such as 50m wireless RF system, 100m wireless RF system, 500m wireless RF system, 1000m wireless RF system, 2000m wireless RF system, 5000m wireless RF system, ect. When you press the button of RF transmitter, it will immediately send a signal to the receiver. The relay will start working after the receiver gets the signal, so the device controlled by the receiver will start working.

But many customers always are confused about control mode of the receiver. Here we will learn the difference about the momentary, toggle, latched and multiple control mode.

In order to meet different applications’ needs, working control mode of receiver is usually divided into momentary, toggle, latched and multi-mode control mode. Popularly said, momentary mode is equivalent to light touch switch, toggle mode is equivalent to the light switch, latched mode is equivalent to the fan gear switch and multi-mode is the mix of momentary, toggle and latched modes.

Momentary control mode

Press and hold -> On; Release -> Off.

Momentary mode means that when you press and hold the button of transmitter, the relay will start to work and when you release the button of transmitter, the relay will stop working. This control mode can be set to control rolling blind, rolling door and so on. You need to press and hold the button of remote to make the blind or door open/close.
