The infrared signal transmitted from the operating transmitter is received by the infrared receiver 11, converted into an electric signal, and transmitted to the on-time determination timer circuit section 17 of the received signal. The on-time determination timer circuit unit 17 determines the transmission time length of the operating transmitter, that is, the length of the signal reception time, and transmits a single signal to the counter unit 18 when it matches the preset time.

Therefore, if the transmission wavelength of the operation transmitter is substantially the same as the wavelength of the infrared receiver 11, the operation transmitter and its operation button are not specified, and the operation button is operated for a predetermined time or longer. You can use most operating transmitters by pressing.

The counter unit 18 is composed of a three-stage counter, and the first one of the signals from the previous stage transmits the signal to the power supply switching unit 19 of the next stage. As a result, the power supply switching unit 19 is energized, the power is output to the other output terminal 10 of the main body, and the lighting fixture and the like are turned on.

At the next second signal, the output of the counter section 18 is transmitted to the power supply switching section 20 at the next stage, the lighting fixtures and the like are turned off, and the small illuminating lamp 12 is turned on. Next 3
The output of the counter unit 18 is transmitted to the pilot lamp 13 by the signal of the first time, and the pilot lamp 13 is turned on, and the small illumination lamp 12 is turned off.

The power-on reset circuit section 22 is used for a method other than this device, that is, for blinking a lighting fixture or the like by a wall switch or the like. When turned on by this device, it can be turned off by a wall switch or the like as it is, but when turned off by this device, it cannot be turned on by a wall switch or the like.

For this reason, the present apparatus is provided with a power-on reset circuit section 22. With this circuit, the apparatus can be remotely operated by a remote switch once to turn on the power source of the apparatus once in any state. The power-on reset circuit section 22 is activated by turning on the power to the apparatus again by turning off the wall switch or the like, and the counter section 18 is set to the first stage without fail. It is the one in which the fixtures etc. are turned on.

The pilot lamp 13 has a counter portion 18
