Up Against the Wall!
A Look At The New Wireless Wall Switch
For Platinum Technology Products
 |
The new
Platinum Technology Wireless Wall Switch adds another level of
control over Hunter Douglas Platinum Technology products. It works
with all PowerRise® and PowerTilt™ systems and the new PowerGlide™
2.0 system for both Luminette Privacy Sheers AND Skyline Gliding
Window Panels.
The
wireless wall switch is powered by 2 AAA batteries (hold your
mouse over the image at left to see the battery compartment on the
back of the switch), the device sends radio frequency signals (RF)
to Hunter Douglas Platinum-powered systems to make the window
treatment raise, lower, tilt, or traverse.
It has the same UP/DOWN directional button, four Radio Frequency (RF)
Group Buttons (1, 2, 3, 4) and an "ALL" button that are used for RF
operation. The RF Group numbers and the ALL button will light up,
green of course, when a button is pressed.
The wall switch has some additional features, too. With the wireless
wall switch, multiple RF groups can be selected and operated at the
same time. So if you select RF Group 1 and RF Group 3, the 1 and 3
buttons will light up. Then press the up or down button and both
groups will operate at the same time. The Platinum Wireless Wall
switch also has a built-in memory, so it will remember the last
group or groups that were selected. So, if your last operation was
to raise groups 1 and 3, you won't have to push the group buttons to
lower them. Just push the down button and all the shades or blinds
programmed for these groups will lower. The switch will remember
only the last group selection. |

Using A Switch And A Remote Together
The wireless wall switch can be cloned with a Platinum remote so that your
customers can have the option of controlling their blinds shades with
either the switch or the remote. The switch is a great add-on for every
PowerRise/PowerTilt or PowerGlide sale and provides a way to operate
shades and blinds even if a remote control is misplaced. Important note:
you must use the cloning procedure in order to use a switch and a
remote together. Complete cloning instructions are included in the
Wireless Wall
Switch Installation Guide.
Surface or Flush Mount
The Platinum Wireless wall switch was designed with a slim profile for
surface mounting directly to a wall. Using the mounting screws provided,
the wireless wall switch can be secured to any wall in a room. At less
than ¾-inch deep, the switch is unobtrusive.

The switch
assembly snaps together easily. |
With a depth of
less than ¾-inch,

For a more flush mount, the switch may also
be installed in a standard electrical gang box. (Check your local
electrical codes before installing the Platinum Wireless Wall Switch into
any recessed electrical box.) The operating range could be affected
by mounting the wireless wall switch into an electrical box, so a surface
mount is recommended.
