???? What Is the Richmat H158B?

Richmat manufactures this control system for many adjustable bed brands around the world. The control box typically sits underneath the bed frame and connects to the power supply and all motors.

???? Section 3: Remote Pairing & Setup

The H158B works with a wireless remote, typically branded by your bed manufacturer but powered by Richmat technology.

How to Pair the Remote:

Plug in the bed and locate the pairing button on the H158B control box.
Use a paperclip to press and hold the pairing button for 3–5 seconds until an indicator light flashes.
While the light is flashing, press any button on the remote.
Wait for a confirmation sound or solid light to confirm pairing.

If your remote doesn’t pair on the first try, unplug the bed for 10 seconds and retry the process.

????️ Section 4: Using the Remote Control

The Richmat remote layout may vary slightly by model, but typically includes the following functions:

Button	Description
Head Up/Down	Raises or lowers the head section
Foot Up/Down	Raises or lowers the foot section
