Frequently Asked Questions - VM118R VELLEMAN

How to insert batteries into the VM118R remote control?

Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control and insert three LR3 (AAA) batteries respecting the indicated polarity. Carefully close the cover.

What is the range of the VM118R remote control?

The range is approximately 50 meters in line of sight without obstacles. Obstacles like walls can reduce this distance.

How to configure a channel in momentary (pulse) or toggle mode?

Hold the Shift key until the LED lights up to enter configuration mode. Press the desired channel key to toggle between pulse (LED blinks once) and toggle (LED blinks twice). Press Shift to exit.

How to change the remote control's address?

In configuration mode (Shift held), press the button corresponding to option 3 (LED blinks 3 times). Use a key from 1 to 8 to select the new address. The relay board will display the new address in binary. Exit with Shift.

What does the Shift key do?

In normal operation, the Shift key deactivates all relays ('All clear' function). In configuration mode, it is used to navigate between options and to exit the mode.

How to reset the remote control's address to 1?

In configuration mode (Shift held until LED on), press option 4. This forces the remote control and relay board to use address 1. Note: all active relay boards will react.

Is the VM118R remote control compatible with other receivers?

It is specifically designed for Velleman relay boards K8056 and VM118. Use with other receivers is not guaranteed.

What to do if the LED does not light up?

Check that the batteries are correctly installed and are new. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to maintain the remote control?

Clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, solvents, and abrasive products. Store it in a dry place away from shocks.

Pressing a channel button (1..8) repeatedly allows you to choose between 'toggle'- and 'pulse'-mode for that particular channel (LED flashes once : pulse, two flashes : toggle).

Press 'shift' to leave this mode. Press 'shift' again to leave set-up mode.

(2) Display the current remote control address on the K8056/VM118 relay card (LED flashes twice):

Relay LEDs display the address in binary fashion i.e. LD8 : LSB, LD1 : MSB

Press 'shift' to leave the set-up mode.

(3) Change the current address of the remote and relay card (available addresses: 1..8) (LED flashes three times):

Press button 1..8 to change the current address of the remote and the relay card.

4) Force the remote/relay card to address 1.

If the receiver (e.g. K8056 or VM118) has been set to an address other than 1..8, you can force it to respond to address 1.

Attention: All active cards will respond to this command (except when the 'remote control' jumper on the relay card is set to 'off'). Press 'shift' to leave the set-up mode.
