INTRODUCTION
Please read and retain this manual for the entire lifespan of the device,
as it contains essential information on the installation and operation of
the RRURF Relay Unit with RF. This manual is an integral part of the
product. If you are installing the device, you must provide a copy of the
manual to the homeowner and any subsequent users.
2. INSTRUCTION FOR WIRING
Ensure that the Relay Unit is securely mounted on the wall or
ceiling, with house wires passing through it at this stage.
2.1 Connect the power supply wires (Live and Neutral) to the mains
terminal block as illustrated in Fig. 2. (Tighten screws to a maximum
torque of 0.5 Nm (5.1 kgf.cm)).
There are two relays in this RF base:
The relay terminal marked "FIRE" activates when the Relay Unit
receives either a fire warning signal or a test/silence RF signal from
the alarm device within the RF network, or a wired connection
signal.
The relay terminal marked "FAULT" triggers when the Relay Unit
receives a low battery or fault signal from the alarm device within
the RF network.
Note: The "FIRE" and "FAULT" relays are independent of each
other.
Note: Note: Please refrain from connecting a green/yellow or
copper earth wire to any terminal, as grounding the unit is not
permitted.
2.2 Connect the L (Live) wire from the auxiliary device power supply
to the COM (Common) terminal.
2.3 Depending on the control requirements of the auxiliary device,
connect either the NC or NO contact of the relay to the auxiliary
device.
• If the relay is used to interrupt a boiler during an alarm, use NC.
(refer to Fig. 4)
• For a beacon that should only activate during an alarm, use NO.
(refer to Fig. 5)
• Identify the type of auxiliary device and connect it to the "FAULT"
relay terminal (refer to Fig. 7 and 8).
2.4 Alternatively, if the auxiliary device shares the same power
source circuit as the relay (i.e., 230VAC), insert a linking wire
between the L (Live) terminal and the C (Common) terminal of the
relay unit. Then, connect the NC or NO contact of the relay unit,
depending on the requirement, to the auxiliary device. Connect the
N (Neutral) terminal from the relay to the auxiliary device as
depicted in the diagrams below. (refer to Fig. 6)
Note: Note: The same wiring method can also be applied to the
"FAULT" Relay Terminal. (refer to Fig. 9).
The RRURF Relay Unit with RF is a highly versatile device that can
connect to smoke alarms via both wireless RF signals and hardwired
connections. It activates a relay upon receiving an alarm signal from a
compatible smoke alarm.
The electrically isolated relay contacts can be utilised for various
applications, such as signaling and controlling lights. The RRURF Relay
Unit with RF is powered by a 230V AC mains supply and includes a
backup battery to ensure continuous operation. By default, the relay is
set to operate continuously, switching on when a smoke alarm detects
fire and switching off when the alarm condition ceases.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
• The installation of the RRURF Relay Unit with RF must be performed
by a qualified electrician in compliance with relevant local Electrical
Installation Regulations. Improper installation may pose risks of electric
shock or fire hazards and can damage the product. This unit is not
waterproof and should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
• Connect the RRURF Relay Unit with RF to Alternative Energy Sources
(Wind, Solar, UPS, etc.) - This product is designed to connect to a Pure
or True Sine Wave 230V AC supply. If you intend to connect it to a
power source utilising an inverter, such as a PV solar panel, ensure that
the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is less than 5%. If you are uncertain
about the THD specifications, please consult the inverter manufacturer.
The same requirement applies to battery-powered Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) inverters.
• The relay base must not be powered from a light dimmer circuit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
1. BEFORE THE WIRING OF THE RELAY UNIT
NOTE: USERS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO READ THE
MANUAL THOROUGHLY AND FOLLOW THE STEPS IN
CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER TO ENSURE THE PROPER SETUP
OF THE RELAY UNIT.
1.1 Ensure the mains power is disconnected from the circuit and the
backup battery is turned off before installing the relay unit to ensure
safety
1.2 Securely attach the relay unit to the ceiling or wall according to
the installation instructions to prevent injury. Select an appropriate
mounting position near the mains supply and the device to be
connected to the relay.
Note: Avoid metal surfaces or large metal objects that may interfere
with the RF signal range.
1.3 If the incoming wiring is on the surface of the wall/ceiling, use
appropriately sized conduit to connect with the unit. Carefully
remove the knockout material with a sharp knife, ensuring no gaps
remain when mated with the conduit.
Note: There is one suitable surface cabling knockout. The other two
surface entries are not recommended, as the wiring may reduce the
antenna signal. There is one rear entry knockout. Refer to Fig.2 for
details.
