Introduction#

About This Guide#

This guide provides instructions for installing the Switch6, an Amatis wireless input device. In addition to the step-by-step installation process, this guide provides instructions on how to configure the Switch6, as well as some basic troubleshooting steps.

Product Overview#

The Switch6 is a wireless 6-input switch interface, capable of connecting to up to 6 switches or relays. It connects to wireless networks via the Amatis Border Router (AMBR).

  • Standard toggle or momentary contact inputs.
  • Trigger programmed scenes with switches, sensors, and other devices.
  • On-board LED drivers for each input for driving LED indicators.
  • Cloud connection via AMBR, uploading real-time data from your site to the Amatis config app.

Installation#

Parts List#

Before getting started with the installation process, it's important to make sure all the necessary components are included. Here's what should be found inside the box:

  • (1) Switch6

Placement#

Follow these guidelines when deciding on where to install the Sensor1:

  • When used with a wall switch/keypad, the Switch6 should be installed behind the device it is interfacing with.
  • The Switch6 should be installed within 200' of an AMBR or other wireless node.

    Distance Limitations

    The Amatis system supports communication ranges up to 200' with a clear line of site. Obstacles such as walls or floors will impact the communication ranges significantly.

Wiring#

Follow the wiring diagram to connect the Switch6:

Note

The common wire should be used for all inputs.

Labeling & MAC Capture#

After installing any Amatis wireless device, it is imperative to note the device ID with the associated load/fixture/device. This is how the devices will be identified in the programmed. It is also a good idea to label any Amatis load controllers with the load they are controlling.

Note

The device ID can be found on the device’s packaging or the device itself.

Initial Setup#

Review the following list to ensure all necessary parts are available:

  1. An active AMBR within communication range of the Switch6.
  2. Active power to the Switch6.
  3. At least one input to the Switch6 wired to a switch or other device.

Device Configuration#

Perform the following steps to configure the device:

  1. Open up the Amatis App and navigate to the site.
  2. Open the Devices table and ensure a device with the ID noted in the previous step is active.
  3. Open the Device Details and configure the connected inputs:
