OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS....................22 INTRODUCTION The QK-W016 series WiFi temperature monitoring remote controller is a versatile device which can be attached to appliances such as domestic freezers, water tanks, refrigerators, industrial chillers, boilers, steamers, warehouse controls, greenhouses, industrial equipment and other systems requiring temperature control. -
Page 4: Setup
An integrated WiFi module allows the operator to check the temperature log data and manually switch the relays via a WiFi network. QK-W016 also has an optional RF433 Mhz module which allows the operator to control RF mains sockets within a range of up to 50 metres. -
Page 5: Accessing Qk-W016
Setting QK-W016 to operate in ad hoc mode is quite straightforward. Once the computer or the mobile phone is connected to the ‘WiFi168’ network, power off QK-W016 and then power it back up (this is important) until both red and blue LEDs light up. QK-W016 will now be working in ad hoc mode. -
Page 6: Station (Infrastructure) Mode
Power off QK-W016. Press and hold the ‘Reset’ button, then power up QK-W016. The blue LED will light up for few seconds, then the red LED will turn on. After the red LED has been on for 3 seconds, release the ‘Reset’... - Page 7 Enter the information below into the application interface. The operator should be patient during these steps as it could take a couple of minutes for QK-W016 to accept each setting (by pressing ‘Save’) and returning with the reply message. Please do not set the next value until the reply message has been received.
- Page 8 IP address – set IP address. To allow QK-W016 to connect to the AP, the IP address for QK-W016 must match with the APs gateway. This means the IP addresses should have the same first three numbers set as the AP’s gateway. For example, if the AP gateway IP address is as 192.168.2.1, QK-W016 IP address must be 192.168.2.x (where x...

10. Connect with the AP which has been set up. Run the application and change the IP address to the same address used when QK-W016 was set in step 6 above. Press ‘Connect WiFi’, all the text on the control buttons (ON/OFF) will change from grey to deep yellow and the blue LED on the module will turn on. -

W016 should be connected with the control computer using the same wireless AP (same SSID name). In order to control QK-W016 from any location, operators can access the Internet using Android/iOS based terminals, such as mobile phones or tablets. The setup process is similar to that for the Windows application. - Page 12 Quark-Elec application note Temperature indicator Data log setting Reply messages Station mode setting and temperature setting Figure 8 QK-W016 main control panel in APP 12 of 23 https://www.quark-elec.com 2015 V1.1...

EMPERATURE MONITORING CONTROL QK-W016 has three attached temperature sensors. Using the related output relays, it can be used to control three individual zones via WiFi. These industrial standard sensors provide typical accuracies of ± 0.5°C over the −40°C to +125°C temperature range. - Page 14 Quark-Elec application note DATA2 DATA1 DATA3 Figure 10 Temperature sensor cable Temperature sensor and output relay mapping table DATA1 RELAY1 DATA2 RELAY2 DATA3 RELAY3 Details of the sensor cable can be found from: https://www.quick-teck.co.uk/ElectronicElement/eeDetail.php?eeId=1567 14 of 23 https://www.quark-elec.com 2015 V1.1...

AIRING WITH RF POWER SOCKETS OPTIONAL FUNCTION QK-W016 has a built-in 433 Mhz RF transmitter module that can pair with up to three RF power sockets (customers should contact Quark-elec to apply for this as an optional setting). So operators are able to turn electrical devices ON/OFF by remote control at the power sockets. -
Page 18: Hardware
The LED light on the socket should flash at 1 second intervals, indicating it is ready to pair with QK-W016. If the lights do not flash, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds to clear the memory. Cleared memory will be indicated by the LED flashing quickly. - Page 19 Quark-Elec application note RF 433MHz aerial Three temperature sensors LED1 LED2 Figure 16 QK-W016 connections 19 of 23 https://www.quark-elec.com 2015 V1.1...
