Settings for Asema S series con trollers ASCMA 9 11 5 Troubleshooting This section lists a few common problems you may encounter into while using your controller and common remedies to them For a more complete list of howto s and up to date answers to problems visit the FAQ section on our support website at support asema com Cannot detect a controller If a controller cannot be found when detecting a controller the problem can be the cause of four basic reasons 1 the controller is not connected to mains power 2 the radio reception is poor 3 the controller is already paired or 4 the device is broken First make sure the controller is properly connected On Asema S1 the LED light will blink to indicate a proper mains connection On Asema S3 when power on pressing the foot switch will cause a tick sound when the relay switches on After making sure you have power make sure there are no interfering obstacles between the con troller and an Asema E and the distance between the two does not exceed 30 meters Make sure that the controller is not already paired A paired controller no longer sends a beacon and cannot therefore be detected To have the controller send beacon again reset it either from the Asema E in case of a controller paired to that Asema E or from the reset button Cannot pair a controller Pairing a controller requires a good radio connection between the controller and Asema E Make sure you have2. in a location that is between the two devices possibly so that it allows to bypass an obstacle will improve your installation Pairing and communicating with Asema E ASCMA 8 11 4 Settings for Asema S series controllers 4 1 4 2 4 3 In addition to automation features that work when connected to the Asema E Asema S series con trollers support a set of independent safety and control settings that can be modifies with the Asema E but work after that independent of the radio connection to the Asema E Default relay mode When an Asema S series is in factory settings after the controller gets power it will be in OFF mode Consequently it will not feed power to the appliance it controls unless the controller is switched on by using the controls of Asema E The reason for having power switched OFF by default is fire safety and electrical safety If for some reason during a blackout easily flammable material is placed on top of an appliance turning power back on will not cause a fire hazard In some cases it is however desirable to have the power switched ON by default This is especially true if the Asema S series controller controls a refrigerator or digital recorder If the default mode has not been changed from its factory setting the appliance will not receive power even after a very short blackout When the default mode is ON the power will be automatically switched on when power returns to the controller To change th
3. no interfering elements between the devices and the distance is short enough For troubleshooting purposes you may want to move your Asema E closer to the controller to see how distance affects the radio connection Use the bar indicators to check the field strength if necessary Slow response to commands If your controller works but the operation seems sluggish this is most likely due to poor radio cover age The commands are slow because they need to be resent many times before a valid command can be pushed through To improve the response you may want to place the devices differently to avoid radio disturbance Placing another controller in between the devices may also help as a repeater Note also that radio antennas are always directional to some directions and reflections from walls and other structures will affect the way radios work Try to move or rotate your Asema E a bit this may help the radio connection considerably Troubleshooting ASEMA 10 11 Recycling At the end of its serviceable life this product should not be treated as household or general waste It should be handed over to the applicable collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment or returned to the supplier for disposal You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste Isolated collection and proper recovery of your
4. note that it is a common practice to wire the wall sockets in series Cutting the power from one socket will cut the power of all the rest of the sockets also If you want to control just a single socket rewire the wall socket so that the circuit is not cut when the Asema S1 relay cuts the wall socket it is embedded to Important If the Asema S1 is used to measure or control an appliance that needs electrical supply after a purposeful or accidental blackout such as a refrigerator or freezer the default power supply mode should be switched from its factory setting OFF to ON For more information please see chapter 4 1 Default relay mode Controlling multiple sockets The Asema S1 is capable of cutting current to up to 16A and can easily accommodate most installation locations where wall outlets are operated in groups To control multiple wall sockets as one you can either 1 with the help of an electrician place the Asema S1 at a wall socket that is the first in series of wall sockets this will cut the power from all sockets 2 with the help of an electrician install the Asema S1 into the distribution box in the house in series with a fuse Supporting an external switch Each Asema S1 has a separate switch connector for adding control via a wall switch With this connector you can effectively turn any wall switch into a radio controller of multiple lights and appliances in the house To do this connect the incoming and
