Do not use the device in connection with other devices whose direct or
indirect purpose is to ensure life or health, or whose operation may
pose a threat to humans, animals or material assets.

N.B.
Subject to technical modifications. Reconstruction and alterations to
the device are not allowed. The described products were developed in
order to assume safety functions as part of an entire plant or machine.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of a plant or machine to
guarantee the correct general function. steute does not assume any liability
for recommendations made or implied by this description. New
claims for guarantee, warranty or liability cannot be hereby derived
beyond the general terms and conditions of delivery.
Maintenance
With rough conditions, we recommend routine maintenance as follows:
1. Remove all dirt or particles.

Cleaning
– In case of damp cleaning: use water or mild, non-scratching,
non-chafing cleaners.
– Do not use aggressive cleaners or solvents.
Clean enclosure on the outside only. Clean enclosure with household
cleaning agents. Do not use compressed air to clean.

Status signal
A status signal can be set by the user at various intervals with the
jumper. To do this, open the enclosure by removing the 5 cover screws
using a Torx 8 screwdriver. Inside the enclosure a jumper is located on
the circuit board. Adjust to the desired interval. For evaluation of status
signals, steute provides special receivers.

delivery state: no status signal

example position 1: 10 s status signal

Jumper Interval
without jumper or 3 and 4 no status signal
Position 1 10 s
Position 2 100 s
Position 3 1,000 s
Position 4 10,000 s

Allocation of locations and radio frequencies:

Device type	Radio frequency	Place of use	according to
SW868	868.3 MHz	EU

2014/53/EU (RED)

Design of wireless range

The radio signal is attenuated on the way from the transmitter to
the receiver. In addition, the radio signal is attenuated/influenced by
obstacles. The degree of attenuation depends on the material of the
obstacle. The following tables serve as a guide.

Penetration of radio signals:

Material	Penetration
wood, gypsum, glas uncoated	90…100%
brick stone, press boards	65…95%
armoured concrete	10…90%
metal, aluminium lamination, water	0…10%

Typical ranges:

Place of use| Wireless range
(approx.)
---|---
in free field (SW868/915/917)| 450 m
in free field (SW922)| 150 m
indoors (SW868/915/917)| 40 m
indoors (SW922)| 20 m

Field strength meter for range test:

Transmitter	Device	Material No.
SW868	swView 868 MHz	1190393
SW915	swView 915 MHz	1221794
SW917/SW922	on request

Radio operation

The transmission of a switching command from the transmitter to the
receiver takes about 80 to 100 ms, based on the sWave® data transmission.
The switching signal from a transmitter may not be generated
at a shorter interval, otherwise the signal will be suppressed.

After successful adjustment replace the enclosure cover and tighten
the cover screws with approx. 0.45 Nm. The sealing must not be contaminated
by any foreign bodies.

Battery

The remaining capacity of a battery is hard to evaluate, but an empty
battery can be assumed in case of doubt and with a battery voltage
<3.4 V at 20°C. In order to ensure reliable functioning, the battery must
be replaced. To do this, the 5 screws in the housing cover must be
opened using a torx-8 screwdriver. The battery should be inserted in
the direction shown by the symbols on the cover. Use only the designated
battery type or a complementary battery type. Depending on the
country the device is supplied to, delivery will include an AA lithium
battery SL-760/3.6 V/2.2 Ah in a battery adapter, or a lithium battery
SL-2770/3.6 V/8.5 Ah without an adapter or a complementary battery
type.

Spare part:

Name	Material No.
Lithium battery SL-2770/S 3.6 V/8.5 Ah	1202806
Lithium batteriy SL-760 (3.6 V/2.2 Ah AA)	1351045

Disposal
– Observe national, local and legal regulations concerning disposal.
– Recycle each material separately. Dispose of possibly contained batteries correctly.

ESD
Ensure adequate ESD protection for all work that requires opening the unit.
