1 Training
We recommend all installers attend the free training course to get a better understanding of the ClickSmart Controls, including how
each component works, how it's installed and how its programmed.

2 Signal Range Testing
Prior to installation we recommend that a signal range test is carried out between the location of the transmitter and receiver and
repeater (if required) to establish if the operation is within range.
Signal range testing can be carried out as follows:
a. Basic Testing - Use the keyfob (RF KEY) and plug in socket (RFSC-61)
This will give an idea of potential signal issues.
b. Advanced Testing - Using the RF Pilot (RF PILOT) and/or RF Touch (RFT-WBK/WWH) and plug-in socket
(RFSC-61) will show the signal range as a percentage. We recommend repeating the test 3 to 5 times with
taking the average. If less than 40% may result in intermittent or limited control.
c. If you know which transmitters and receivers are required, use the transmitter and receiver with the shortest
signal range to carry out the initial testing.
If the RFIM-40B (universal input transmitter) is a requirement, we recommend fitting the switch plate and transmitter on to a metal
wiring accessory back box for testing if this is how it will be installed.
3 Signal Transmission Through Materials
Care should be taken with regards to the location of transmitters and receivers as transmission of the signal differs through
different materials.
The table below gives an indication of the percentage of signal loss through each material.
10-40%
Brick Walls
Signal range testing is crucial as modern building materials can contain aluminium lined plasterboard, aluminium lined polystyrene
insulation and energy saving glass with a metal oxide coating.
Internal furnishings can also affect the signal, e.g. mirror (metal backed), metal framed furniture, glass furniture etc. This ideally
needs to be explained to the customer to prevent future potential issues arising.
Signal Repeater (RFRP-20B): The repeater allows the installer to overcome building material issues with offsetting the repeater to
bypass the material.
4 Documenting The Installation
No matter how small the install, we always recommend making a note of the receiver model along with the
hexadecimal address (alpha or numeric or both). In the future event the system is to be expanded will remove
the issue of having to gather the information from previously installed items.
Installation sheets are available for download from the www.click-smart.com website. See the RF Pilot or RF
Touch for the PDF download.
Using The Guidance Information
Prior to any ClickSmart installation we recommend both the guidance information
and installation instructions are read thoroughly to help prevent potential issues
arising during installation, programming and operation.
