Remote Control On/Off Switch
Installing a small dash-mounted two-speed fan in a motorhome. What is the best method? Use a one-channel relay or a four-channel relay with separate wires (one for low speed and one for high speed)? Any additional ideas? Would it damage the unit if placed in the engine compartment, considering summer heat (especially when the engine is running) or winter cold (when the engine is not running) affecting the unit's electronics? - by Charles (Hixson, TN) How much current does this device draw in standby mode? A battery supply is being planned, and the amp-hour requirement for battery life needs to be determined. A similar product is sought to control items on a Harley, but the current item is not waterproof, raising concerns about exposure to residual engine heat. Recommendations for a waterproof remote device are requested, with the option of installing a thermal protection section. (An acrylic box with an antenna wire outlet is considered, but it may be labor-intensive.) - by Mike (Omaha, NE) A four-channel unit is being considered for future-proofing, with only two items to connect now and two later. Will it function with only two connected, or does it require all four to be wired for operation? - by James (Australia) Custom LED door handles for a 2011 Camaro are being installed. If two devices are purchased, can both door handle LEDs be controlled with one remote? Will one remote work for both, or will two remotes be necessary? - by Jason (Ohio) Products can be added to the shopping cart, and country selection is required for shipping. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. Shipping is done via USPS and UPS, with speed selection available. A receiver is connected to a 12V AA NiMH battery pack. Can the battery pack be charged with a 14V, 600 mA charger without damaging the receiver? A four-channel unit is intended to control four sets of LEDs in a radio-controlled car (hobby) using a 7.4V Li-Po 6000 mAh battery. Will this setup work, and is there a limit to the number of parallel-wired LEDs per channel (5V LEDs with resistors)? - by James Referring to the wiring diagram, what happens if the subwoofer in a car is used as the power source? Will the LEDs pulse with the bass, and will the remote function as an on/off switch in this case? - by Manuel (United States) Can the positive be split, with a wireless switch on one toggle and another on the other, then combined to allow operation from inside the car? - by Shawn A Radio Controlled Deadman for a sandblaster is being designed. A solenoid valve requiring 17 watts at 12V DC is available. Will the one-channel unit work for this application? Is it possible to achieve about 300 feet of range? - by Jimmy (Salinas, CA) A switch is desired to turn an air compressor on/off in a truck. Can it be wired to remain in the "ON" position by default, allowing it to be turned "OFF" when necessary (e.g., if ice freezes in the compressor output line)? - by David (Albuquerque) Questions about the antenna length for mounting near the windshield have arisen. - by Adrian (Barstow, CA) Can this product open/close doors? It can handle up to 6 amps, so if the electric side doors draw less than that, it should work. Why is the one-channel receiver significantly larger than the four-channel receiver? Previous measurements show the one-channel at 2.5 x 1.75 x 0.75 inches and the four-channel at 0.75 x 1.25 x 0.25 inches. An explanation is requested regarding the size difference.
The installation of a dash-mounted two-speed fan in a motorhome requires careful consideration of the control mechanism. Utilizing a one-channel relay allows for straightforward operation, but a four-channel relay may offer greater flexibility for future expansions. Each channel can be designated for specific functions, such as low and high-speed settings for the fan, enhancing usability.
When considering the placement of the fan in the engine compartment, it is essential to evaluate the potential impact of extreme temperatures on the fan's electronics. High summer heat and low winter temperatures could compromise the unit's reliability. Therefore, it may be prudent to explore options for thermal protection, such as insulating enclosures, to safeguard the electronic components from thermal stress.
For those planning to connect a battery supply to the fan, understanding the current draw in standby mode is critical for estimating battery life. This information is essential for determining the appropriate amp-hour rating for the battery, ensuring sufficient power for operation without unexpected interruptions.
In applications involving motorcycles, such as controlling devices on a Harley, the waterproof rating of the remote device becomes a significant factor. A waterproof alternative may be necessary to prevent damage from exposure to moisture and engine heat. Additionally, the feasibility of using a four-channel unit to accommodate future expansions while only connecting two devices initially is a practical consideration. The unit should function correctly even with two channels in use.
For LED control, the use of a four-channel unit to manage multiple LED sets in a radio-controlled car is viable, provided the specifications of the LEDs and resistors are adhered to. It is crucial to ensure that the total current draw does not exceed the channel's limits.
Questions regarding the use of a subwoofer as a power source highlight the need for careful wiring and control strategies. The potential for LEDs to pulse with bass frequencies can be an exciting feature, but it is vital to ensure that the remote control functions as intended.
In summary, various applications of remote control systems in automotive and hobbyist settings necessitate careful consideration of component compatibility, environmental factors, and user requirements. Each scenario presents unique challenges that must be addressed to ensure reliable and effective operation.Installing a small dash mounted 2 speed fan in my motorhome. What`s the best way Use your 1 channel and then find a relay or use the 4 channel and use the seperate wires [1 low spd. &1 high spd ] Any other lideas Would it hurt the unit if it were placed in the engine compartment Thinking of the summer-heat (especially when engine is runnin
g), or winter-cold (when engine not running) affecting the electronics in the unit. - by Charles (Hixson, TN) How much current does this device draw in standby mode I am planning on hooking up a battery supply to it and wanted to determine how many amp hours of battery life I will need. I would like to use a product like this to control some items on my Harley. Unfortunately, this item is not waterproof and I can not guarantee it will not be exposed to some degree of residual engine heat.
Can you recommend another remote device that will, at the very least, be waterproof I can, if need be, always intstall a little section of thermal protection. Thank you, in advance! ( I suppose I could make an acrylic box and run the antenna wire out of it, but that`s a lot of work.

Cheers - by James (Australia) I got custom made LED DOOR handles for my 2011 camaro! If I get two of theses an install them on each door can I control BOTH door handle LEDs with one remote Meaning if I buy two separate divices will one remote work for both or will I have to carry two remotes to turn them both on - by Jason (Ohio) Add the product you want to your shopping cart and try to select your country.
