Status Remote Control Socket problem

at £5 for a set of 3 in Asda, I rather doubt the manufacture/distributor has set a lot of funds to one side for 'technical support'

do you still have the instructions ?


REMOTE CONTROLLED SOCKET (SELF-LEARNING) Instructions
• Simple to use.
• On the remote control, open the battery compartment and place the provided battery in the right position.
• Plug the receiver-socket(s) in a mains power-socket. The red LED will light up and flashes every second.
• Press any ON switch for more than 2 seconds on the remote control. The receiver will learn the code. When the LED flashes continuously after 2 seconds and goes off it means the receiver has learnt the code successfully.
• You can add various receiver-sockets to any one ON switch and create a zone.
• Repeat these last 2 steps for all the receiver sockets selecting a different ON button for each receiver socket.
• After a power cut pull out the receivers from the mains power-socket and repeat all the above steps.

Operation:
• Plug the device you want to remotely operate into a receiver-socket
• Press the ON or OFF button on the remote control to activate the receiver-socket.
• Or press the ON/OFF button directly on the receiver-socket to operate the plug

Trouble shooting
If a receiver-socket does not react to the remote control please check:
• Low battery in the remote control - replace it
• Distance too large between the remote control and the receiver (no more than 20 Metres)
• Hold the buttons at least 2 seconds when pressing the ON-button.

How to decode
• Press the ON/OFF button on the receiver-socket for more than 3 seconds. After 3 seconds the LED flashes once per second, decoding is successful.
• Press the ALL OFF switch on the remote control for more than 3 seconds. After 3 seconds the LED flashes once per second, decoding is successful.

To the next person googling how to reset these remote control (cos thats what bought me here, lol) i found you need to leave the sockets unplugged for a few minutes for them to become reprogramable (sp?)

after that it should flash the red light when you plug it back in, rather than the light just being on continuiously, and you can just programe it again by chosing a number and holding the on button down for 3 or 4 seconds.

All 6 of ours had reset to be operated by 1 remote and one number. Was like a disco

my status remote control light will flash on remote also light will flash on plug but remote will not seitch on and off any ideas

Try changing the battery in remote or change the dip switch settings (if it has them), to different channel.

Otherwise the plug is probably no longer working.

Can pick them up cheap from £5 these days

any idea if you can use 2 remotes? e.e. if i buy 2 packs can both remotes control all 6?

you're perfectly correct. Mine have just arrived, pack of 3, with 4 buttons on the remote, each controlling a zone which may contain 1 or more switches. The instructions don't say how many can be in each zone but I'm guessing it might be unlimited.

Thete's also a switch for turning off all at once (although curiously not turning them on. That may be to avoid spikes popping fuses I guess).

Looking at the way they are assigned to the remote I can't see how you would have two remotes control one switch either.

Merry Xmas to all here!
