Quark-Elec application note Order information Part No Description QK-W017 WiFi remote control gateway Wireless temperature control terminals QK-S001T Up to 5 wireless T/H control terminals(QK-S001T or QK-S001H) to be paired with QK-W017 QK-S001H Wireless temperature and humidity control terminal Contents CONTENTS.............................. - Page 4 W017 operates the corresponding relays according to the measured temperatures and/or operator commands. QK-W017 can be fitted in any situation where an object or area needs to be heated, cooled, or both in order to maintain the target temperature range (set within the Android/iOS APP).

Page 5: Setup
Figure 2 Welcome page of the APP Once the APP has been installed, the hardware can be setup. After QK-W017 has finished initialisation, the operator should be able to scan and find a WiFi network (SSID) called ‘WiFi168’ on a mobile phone or tablet. -
Page 6: Ad Hoc Mode
Connect the mobile phone or tablet to ‘WiFi168’ with ‘88888888’ as the default password. The red LED will remain lit up once the connection is made. Should ‘WiFi168’ not be found on the tablet or the mobile phone, please go to ‘Reset QK-W017’ (section 1.5 below) and follow the steps to reset the module. - Page 7 ‘+’ at the top right of the screen. A confirmation message ‘register OK’ will be shown at the bottom. Power off QK-W017 and then power it back up (this is important), QK-W017 will now be working in ad hoc mode.

Page 8: Station (Infrastructure) Mode
Power off QK-W017. Press and hold the ‘Reset’ button, then power up QK-W017. After the red LED has been on for at least 3 seconds (Display keeps flashing with bars), release the ‘Reset ’button. Wait about 15 seconds, the red LED will turn off while display keeps flashing with bars. -
Page 9: Resetting Qk-W017
Quark-elec has noticed that, for some old type access points, there may be connection problems with QK-W017 if the AP security type is set as ‘WEP’. So, if the operator has an access problem, please change the security type to ‘WPA’ or ‘WPA2’, and avoid using ‘WEP’... -
Page 10: Pairing With T/H Control Terminal
Figure 7 Welcome page with paired unit(s) 2.2 Pairing with T/H control terminal QK-W017 can work with up to five QK-S001 wireless temperature/humidity terminals to control and monitor five environmental zones through WiFi. To get them to work together, the operator should pair them before using them. Use the following process to pair QK-W017 with QK-S001. -
Page 11: Operation
The operator can repeat the above process for the remaining four T/H control terminals. PERATION Using the QK-W017 is simple and intuitive. When the gateway and control terminals have been set up and paired they can be set individually to achieve the environmental conditions required. -
Page 12: Switching Relays Manually
Figure 9 Manually check the T/H values 3.2 Switching relays manually If required, the operator can always manually switch the output relays. QK-W017 does not allow the disabling of the trigger inputs from the temperature/humidity sensors but, if this is desired, the operator can set the top and bottom temperature/humidity limits to be unreachable values which will effectively make the relays manual operation only. -
Page 13: Temperature/Humidity Data Logger
The minimum sample time interval is 5 minutes for the mobile Android/iOS application. The APP will start to collect the temperature/humidity information from the control terminals through the QK-W017. This information is shown in the received message field on the data log page as illustrated in Fig.12. - Page 14 This will display real-time information, instantly. The data log is downloaded/exported to a file on the phone or tablet which can be used, shared or transferred easily by accessing the File Explorer and opening the document QK-W017.txt as follows: Figure 13 opening .txt file of data log...

Page 15: Rename And Register The Control Terminals
Quark-Elec application note 3.4 Rename and register the control terminals On ‘Setup’->’Device’, operator can always give each location/control terminal a meaningful name by inputting the new name over ‘Device x’ in the centre such as ‘Garage’, ‘Fridge1’ ,’Office’ etc. This designation can be changed at any time by the same process. -

Figure 16 QK-W017 connections (Top view) 4.2 QK-S001 QK-W017 cannot work independently. In order for it to be able to control and monitor environmental zones it should be purchased and operated with one or more QK-S001. QK-S001 shares the same enclosure design as QK-W017; however it doesn’t have an LED display on the front panel. - Page 18 Quark-Elec application note Figure 17 Overview of QK-S001 On the bottom of the QK-S001 there is a 3-pin connector for a temperature/humidity sensor, along with 2 relay connectors. The physical difference between the 2 varieties is that the gap between the sensor and the...
