Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Elsema Wireless Wall Switch (FOBswitch)?
The FOBswitch is a 4-button wireless transmitter designed to control automatic gates, garage doors, and lights. It acts as a wall-mounted remote control that sends a signal to a compatible receiver, which then switches the connected device on or off.
Are Elsema FOBswitch compliant with the Australian mandatory standards for button and coin cell batteries?
Yes, the FOBswitch is designed to meet the safety requirements for button and coin cell batteries. The battery compartment is secured by a screw, requiring a tool (screwdriver) for access.
What is the operational range of the wireless signal?
The FOBswitch has a standard operating range of up to 100 metres line-of-sight. However, the effective range can be influenced by local environmental factors such as walls or interference.
Which technology does the FOBswitch use for communication?
The FOBswitch utilises Elsema’s PentaFOB® technology, which employs 5-frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). This ensures high security by preventing code grabbing and minimising interference from other wireless devices.
What type of battery does the switch use, and how long does it last?
The unit is powered by a standard CR2032 coin-cell battery. Under average use, the battery typically lasts for approximately 2 years.
How can I tell if the battery is running low?
The device features a low-battery indicator. When the red LED on the switch starts to blink during normal operation, it indicates that the battery is low and should be replaced soon.
Is the FOBswitch compatible with standard electrical fittings?
Yes. The FOBswitch is designed to be ultra-slim and can be easily mounted onto a standard single gang electrical wall box. Alternatively, it can be screwed directly onto any flat wall surface.
Which receivers can be used with the FOBswitch?
The FOBswitch is compatible with all Elsema PCR series receivers. It can also be purchased as a FOBswitch Kit, which also includes a PCR43301RE receiver.
Can one switch control multiple different devices?
Yes. With its 4-button layout, you can program each button to a different receiver or a different channel on a multi-channel receiver. This allows you to control, for example, two separate gates and two sets of outdoor lights from a single wall panel.
Does this switch require internal wiring to the controlled device?
No. One of its standout benefits is that it is completely wireless. There is no need to run cables through walls or ceilings from the switch to your lights or gate motors, which significantly simplifies installation and maintains a clean aesthetic.
