There are many situations where it would be convenient to switch on an appliance remotely rather than switching it on manually. These could include turning on pathway lighting when you arrive home late at night, controlling garden lighting, or pool lighting and pumps etc. Remote switching can also be very convenient for appliances that are difficult to access. Commercial remote control mains switches are available but these are generally limited to a range of less than 20m. This UHF system will operate over a range up to 200m and is perfect for water pump control systems etc. The switch can be activated using the included hand held controller or our KC-5461 water tank level sensor base station for automatic water tank level control. Kit supplied with case, screen printed PCB, RF modules and all electronic components.
