Installation Controlling an immersion heater or towel rail or other electrical devices The Electric Switch can be used to remotely turn on/o any connected electrical devices up to 3000W. It can be set to operate thermostatically or as an on/o relay only (see device setup section for details). Any connected loads must be resistive loads such as immersion heaters, towel rails, electric heaters, lighting circuits or electric gates.

Manual operation The Standby button Standby button If not connected to the App, pressing the Standby button on the Electric Switch toggles the connected heater or electrical device on/o . When connected to the App, if the connected device is on, pressing the Standby button overrides the current schedule and turns o the device until the next scheduled ‘on period’.
Page 15
Using the Heating Handset A LightwaveRF Heating Handset can be linked to an Electric Switch directly, or via a linked Home Thermostat (see thermostat instructions). Once linked, the Standby button on the Handset will toggle between Running and Standby modes in the same way as the Standby button on the Switch.

Setting up the LightwaveRF App Linking to the LightwaveRF Apps To use the LightwaveRF App or Web App to control the Electric Switch, you will first need to install the ‘Lightwave Link’. This allows any LightwaveRF devices to be linked to and controlled by a smartphone, tablet or PC.
Page 17
Setting up the LightwaveRF App Using the switch with the LightwaveRF App NOTE: For full instructions on how to use the Electric Switch with the LightwaveRF App or Web App follow the in-App help or visit www.lightwaverf.com. The Heating Page allows you to view every LightwaveRF Heating Device that you have set up on the App.
Page 18
Setting up the LightwaveRF App Thermostatic or on/o control Once you have linked the Electric Switch to the App, you can chose how you want it to behave. The Electric Switch has the capability to utilise its in-built thermostat to monitor and set the temperature.
