Not just any wall switch! Remote Control Wall Switch!

JDO Stylo is an entirely new generation of wall switch. Not only it is aesthetically designed; its usage is simple. With the device, one no longer needs to walk to the wall switch in order to control lighting in her/his environment. Instead, controlling lighting is a mere click on the hand-held remote controller.

JDO Stylo's benefits are not limited to its usage. The single most important fact is that the installation is so simple. Installing it is a breeze!! Just replace the existing mechanical wall switch with Stylo and it is ready to go. No messy rewiring, no hacking of walls and thus no expensive renovations to restore paintworks! This definitely benefits installers/specifiers, home & building owners and office occupants alike. It offers maximum flexibility and convenience in most lighting applications, from homes, auditoriums, hotel rooms, conference rooms to offices, etc. And what's more, it works with practically all lamp types.

JDO Stylo offers the ideal solution if your life-style demands the most from your living and working environment.

Remote control electronic wall switch specifications

Remote Control Unit

Note :-

• Low voltage limit applicable for filament lamps only. For fluorescent lamps, lower limit depends on starter characteristics.
• Fluorescent lamp with magnetic ballast, may work with some electronic ballast.
• The channel setting for each switch has a factory default setting, 1 for single gang and 1 & 2 for dual gang respectively. Users can reuse any of the 4 channels for each room as the infra red signal cannot go through opaque walls.
• The above specifications and design are subject to change without prior notice for continuous improvements.
• Patent pending
  • UK Patent Application No. : 2,319,123A
  • PCT Patent Application No. : W098/20604
• These product have been tested and approved by PSB and SIRIM in accordance to IEC 60669-2-1:2000.

JDO Stylo Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can this switch work with fluorescent lighting, halogen lamp, PL, PLC, SL type and other energy saving lamps?
   Yes, it can. We have fully tested this switch with all above lamp types and our switch works fine with them. (We even have customers who use them for remote control their ceiling fans).
   
   
2. Does this switch have any limitation?
   Yes, in some FL tube with electronic ballast, it may not work well. Also, this switch is not design to work with some industrial used lamps such as sodium lamp and high pressure mercury vapour lamps. Therefore these application are not recommended.
   
   
3. How to I make the wire connection in installation?
   The wire connection is exactly the same as with normal mechanical switch, i.e., the incoming LIVE wire goes to the Terminal marked IN, the outgoing wire(s) goes to Terminal marked L1 and L2 (for dual gang switch) respectively.
   
   
4. How do I set up the RC channel in the switch?
   There are 4 available channel settings for each channel, the default factory setting is at channel 1 & 2 (for dual-gang). To change to other channel, change the position of the jumper at the RC channel selector to the required channel.
   
   
5. How do I connect if the wire size is too big for the connector available at the switch?
   To make connection easier for big wire size, it may be necessary to use an intermediate terminal block to connect to the existing wall wiring.
   
   
6. When I use the switch with 32 W Fluorescent tube, during switching off, the fluorescent light take some time before it goes off completely, why, can this be eliminated?
   This phenomenon only happens for some low power Fluorescent tube (<32W). For 40W tube or more than one 32W tube connected in parallel, such phenomenon will not arise. If such phenomenon occurs, the simple solution is to replace the Fluorescent light starter with our starter A10 (provided for purchase made beginning of year 2000).
   
   
7. What do I do if I need to change bulb or service the light fixture, do I need to switch off the MCB?
   For safety reason, when servicing the light fixture, the light fixture must be completely isolated. This can be done by either switching off the lighting circuit MCB, alternatively, you can pull the fuse drawer (located at the bottom edge of the switch) out to break the circuit. When the fuse drawer is pulled out completely, the light fixture is completely isolated.
   
   
8. Can I use a mixture of different types of lamp types for a single switch?
   Yes you can, but bear in mind the maximum load handling capacity.
   
   
9. What is the maximum range of the IR remote transmitter?
   The RC transmitter may have range up-to 80 feet in straight line on axis, therefore for indoor use, effective range should not be a problem. However, Infra red signal cannot penetrate through walls.
   
   
10. Will the IR remote controller interferes with other remote controller?
    No, in general, interference between different makes of remote controllers will not occur, because the infrared signal is coded and modulated. Properly designed RC systems such as ours will not response erroneously to any RC transmitter other than its own.
    
    
11. How often is the need to change battery in the remote controller?
    Like other RC transmitters used in other products, depending on usage, it may last more than a year or more before change of battery is necessary.
    
    
12. Does this product need PUB / PSB approval?
    The JDO electronic switch, like all other electronic switches, e.g. dimmer, does not belong to the prescribed articles that require PUB approval. Therefore approval is not required for use.
    
    
13. What are the signs of incompatible electronic ballast with the JDO switch?
    If electronic ballast is incompatible, the fluorescent light will flicker. There might be some slight humming/buzzing sound on either the fluorescent light fitting. A sure and easy way to get around this problem is to control the light via a relay. The relay is to be installed inside the light fitting and with energising coil wired to the RC switch.
    
    
14. Is this remote switch applicable for a 2-way switch?
    No, not as direct replacement. However, in such situation, we recommend that the 2-way switch be replaced directly by a RC switch in one position and a RC transmitter in the other position. The reason 2-way switch exists is to allow control from a different location. Since RC switch achieves this function much more elegantly that 2-way switch, therefore direct replacement is unnecessary.
    
    
15. For two-gang version, when the light bulb in L1 circuit blow or is removed, the L2 switch also does not function, why?
    The power supply for electronics in the switch is derived from L1 circuit, therefore light bulb for L1 must be in place for both switches to operate normally. This means that if L1 bulb blows or is removed, L2 will not operate, however, if L2 bulb blows, L1 will still operate normally.
    
    
16. Is there a recommended way to wire up the dual-gang switch?
    Yes, if you are using Fluorescent lamp. For best performance, if you are using fluorescent light, this light should be connected to L1 circuit and this fluorescent light starter should be replaced with the starter (A10) provided. For L2 circuit, A10 starter is not required.
