The device may only be used for fixed installations. The device must be securely attached within a fixed installation.
The actuator is part of the building installation.
The relevant national standards and directives must be taken into consideration during planning and setup. The device has been designed solely for operation on a 230 V/50 Hz AC supply. Only qualified electricians (to VDE 0100) are permitted to carry out work on the 230 V mains. Applicable accident prevention regulations must be complied with whilst such work is being carried out. To avoid electric shocks from the device, please disconnect the mains voltage (trip the miniature circuit-breaker). Non-compliance with the installation instructions can cause fire or introduce other hazards.
SELV/PELV power circuits may not be connected to the switching output.
When connecting to the device terminals, take the permissible cables and cable cross-sections into account.
Connected loads require sufficient insulation.
Please take the technical data (in particular the maximum permissible switching capacity of the relay and the type of load to be connected) into account before connecting a load! All load data relates to ohmic loads. Do not exceed the capacity specified for the device.
Exceeding this capacity could lead to the destruction of the device, fires, or electric shocks.
The circuit to which the device and the load will be connected has to be secured by a cable protection switch in accordance with EN60898-1 (tripping characteristic B or C, max. 16 A rated current, min. 6 kA interrupting rating, energy limiting class 3).

Troubleshooting

6.1 Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (A) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see “9 General information about radio operation” on page 47). The failed transmission may also be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
• Receiver is defective.

6.2 Duty cycle

The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range. In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation. During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive teaching processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during the start-up or initial installation of a system.
If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long red lighting of the device LED (A), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device
starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

• Release the system button again.
• Press and hold down the system button again for 4 seconds, until the LED lights up green.
• Release the system button to finish the procedure.

The device will perform a restart.
After the restart, you can again integrate your device into your Homematic IP system.

Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any repairs.
The mains voltage must be disconnected before the device is removed (trip the miniature circuit breaker). Only qualified electricians (to VDE 0100) are permitted to carry out work on the 230 V mains.

Clean the device using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors, or defective electrical devices.
The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/ screening conditions.
Hereby, eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Str. 29, 26789 Leer/Germany declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP-FSI16 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/
