C-Bus Wireless System Operation
The C-Bus Wireless product range incorporates a family of C-Bus Radio Frequency (RF)
devices, including Wall Plates, Plug Adaptors, Remote Control and a Gateway to
Category 5 Wired C-Bus units.
C-Bus Wireless Wall Plates are designed to easily replace standard, 240V wall switches.
They incorporate patented Clipsal technology and are two wires devices requiring no
Neutral (240VAC Active and Load connections only).
All C-Bus Wireless units incorporate Clipsal C-Bus’ unique Learn Mode functions for
programming devices. Wall Plates, Plug Adaptors and the Gateway unit can also be
programmed via the C-Bus Toolkit software. Multiple C-Bus Wireless units can be
linked into a common network using Learn Mode or the C-Bus Toolkit software.
Associations can be created between buttons on multiple units, so that a button press
on one unit will operate a button on another (and the connected lights or other
electrical devices).
C-Bus Wireless units include scene capabilities, which allow the user to perform a series
of actions across multiple outputs by pressing a single button. For example, on arrival
home a home owner could use a scene to switch on lights in the hallway, kitchen and
lounge, and also switch on a heater.
The diagrams below show two of the many possible basic C-Bus Wireless unit installations.
Room A uses stand-alone units, which can be switched via the Wireless Remote Control.
Room B uses networked units where buttons on one unit can operate other units or
trigger scenes.
