1 INTRODUCTION
QK-W011 series remote controller is a versatile device which can be attached to many of
electronic devices in homes, offices, plants, or wherever you need. Operators can control any
remote equipments, heater, lights, machines, or power sockets through WiFi network. QK-W011
support three relay outs and 433MHz RF transmitter. RF power sockets within 25 meters of QK-
W011 can be controlled by mobile operators.

2 SETUP
2.1 Power up
QK-G021/022 module can be powered by 12VDC. Connect a 12 volt DC power supply to
the power socket, switch on the power supply. The indicator LED will turn on once system
finish initialization. This LED indicator flashes quickly if any wireless data transmit.
2.2 Access QK-W011
After 30 seconds of powering on, customer should be able to search an AP called
WiFi168. Access WLAN of your phone and connect with the WiFi168. The default
password is 88888888.

2.3 Reset
QK-W011 can be reset to factory setting by the following process:
1, Power off QK-W011.
2, Press and hold the RESET button, and then power up QK-W011.
3, Wait 5 seconds, and the release RESET button. Wait another 5 seconds, the indicator LED
should turns on.
4, During the LED on state, power off QK-W011 again the system should reset to the factory
setting.
3 APP(ANDROID VERSION)
The latest version of Android APP can be downloading with the following link:

3.1 Connect With Mobile phones
Once open the APP, enter 192.168.1.100 in the IP bar and 5000 in the port bar (for some old
QK-W011, this should be 1). Then click Connect, then WiFi icon should change to blue, this
indicated the connection has been successful setup.

Figure 4 Control Panel on App
Once the mobile phone has connected with QK-W011, the operator can control these
electronics devices which connected on relays and RF main sockets. The indicator icons
(the light bulb next to Off button) can demonstrator each relays/main socket settings.
Figure 5 Indicator of the setting
This icon changes from gray
to blue once the WiFi
connection setup.
These icons indicate the
status of the relays/switches.

3.2 Reset password
Operators can change the WiFi password once connected with QK-W011 module. The
password should be 7 to 17 characters long. New password will not be active until re-power
QK-W011(Unplug the power header and connect again).

4 PARING WITH RF POWER SOCKETS
QK-W011 has a build-in 433Mhz RF transmitter module. It can pair with up to four RF power
sockets. So the operators are able to turn ON/OFF the electrical devices by switching the
power sockets.
The power sockets have been paired and ready to use if they come with QK-W011. However
the operator can always pair or release the pairing by following steps:
Insert the RF power socket into a powered mains wall socket.
The LED light on the socket should flash at 1 second intervals indicating its ready to
pair with the QK-W011. If the lights doesnt flash, press and hold the ON/OFF button for
5 seconds to clear the memory indicated by the quickly flashing LED.
Open WiFi Remote control panel in App, press the corresponding RF switch ON
button. The paring command will be sending out through RF signals.
Figure 8 RF Switch ON buttons
Once the power socket received the paring command, The LED light on the socket will
flash briefly more quickly and then flash at 1 second intervals. This RF main socket
should have been successfully paired now.
Repeat above process for each different RF main sockets.
Simply plug-in the appliance which you want to operate remotely into the socket, press the
corresponding ON button on App that is paired to the socket. The appliance will turn on.

5 HARDWARE
5.1 Connections
General view of the module is show as below and details of each connection are described on it.
QK-W011 use 12VDC 1.0Amp power. The outside and inner diameter of the plug is 5.5mm and
2.1mm.
Figure 9 QK-W011mechanical drawing
5.2 RF main sockets
Customer can select USA, European or UK type RF main sockets. Like most of the similar RF
main sockets in the market, customer should keep at least 0.2 meter distance between one RF
main socket and the other. This is due to EMC interference between these RF main sockets.

V1.1
Although QK-W011 have running specific algorithm to increase the RF transmission reliability,
Quark-elec cannot guarantee 100% of proper action rate of RF main sockets. QK-W011 RF
signal could be affect by other nearby RF devices such as bell ring, car key, cordless phone,
mobile phone, RF alarm system. The following is a real test result taken in a house
environment in the UK.
Distance between QK-W011 and
433Mhz RF main sockets
Proper action rate (RF main sockets been
successfully trigged by QK-W011)
2 meters 100.0%
5 meters 100.0%
8 meters 98.1%
10 meters 96.9%
15 meters 95.2%
20 meters 92.2%
5.3 Enclosure
IP56 Insulation Class 2 plastic enclosure, 115mm*90*40 external dimension is used for QK-
W011.
