General system information

This device is part of the Homematic  IP smart home system and works with the Homematic IP protocol. All devices of the system can be configured comfortably and individually with the user interface of the Central Control Unit CCU3 or flexibly via the Homematic  IP smartphone app in connection with the Homematic IP cloud. All available functions provided by the system in combination with other components are described in the Homematic IP Wired Installation Guide. All current technical documents and updates are provided at www.homematic- ip.com.

Start-up

5.1 Installation instructions

Since the bus is powered by the Homematic IP Wired Access Point (HmIPW- DRAP), you must first set up a Homematic IP Wired Access Point (HmIPW-DRAP) to enable power supply for the device.
Before installation, please note the device number (SGTIN) labeled on the device as well as the exact application purpose in order to make later allocation easier. You can also find the device number on the QR code sticker supplied.

Please note the insulation stripping length of the conductor to be connected, indicated on the device.
Please observe the hazard information in section “2 Hazard information” on page 30 during installation.
Please note! Only to be installed by persons with the relevant electro- technical knowledge and experience!*

Incorrect installation can put

  • your own life at risk;
  • and the lives of other users of the electrical system.

Incorrect installation also means that you are running the risk of serious damage to property, e.g. because of a fire. You may be personally liable in the event of injuries or
damage to property.

Contact an electrical installer!
*Specialist knowledge required for installation:

The following specialist knowledge is particularly important during installation:

  • The “5 safety rules” to be used: Disconnect from mains; Safeguard from switching on again; Check that system is de-energized; Earth and short circuit; Cover or cordon off neighboring live parts;
  • Select suitable tools, measuring equipment, and, if necessary, personal safety equipment;
  • Evaluation of measuring results;
  • Selection of electrical installation material for safeguarding shut-off conditions;
  • IP protection types;
  • Installation of electrical installation material;
  • Type of supply network (TN system, IT system, TT system) and the resulting connecting conditions (classical zero balancing, protective earthing, required additional measures, etc.).

Permitted cable cross-sections for connecting to the device are:

Rigid cable : 0.12-0.50 mm2

For reasons of electrical safety, only the following cables must be used for connecting to the Homematic IP wired bus:

  • Telephone cable J-Y(ST)Y with 2 x 2 x 0.8 (= 0.5 mm²) or 4 x 2 x 0.8 (= 0.5 mm²), shielded, TP
  • Ethernet installation cable S/FUTP, Type Cat5e or higher with 2 x 2 x AWG22 (= 0.34 mm²) or 4 x 2 x AWG22 (= 0.34 mm²), shielded, TP

The shield (continuity wire) must be connected to “–” (=GND) at the bus connection of the Wired Access Point (HmIPW-DRAP). The shield may not be connected to the wall-mount remote control.

5.2 Installation

**** The bus is powered by the Homematic IP Wired Access Point (HmIPW-DRAP). For further information, please refer to the operating manual of the corresponding Wired Access Points.

**** To facilitate connection to the terminals, the green push-in terminal can be removed from the device. To do this, release the mounting plate, press the latch on the back next to the lock symbol and slide the clamp out of the mounting plate to the side (see figure 2).

For the installation, please proceed as follows:

  • Disconnect the corresponding line of the incoming Homematic IP Wired bus.
  • Connect the Homematic IP Wired bus to the bus connecting terminals (see figure 3). To connect and loosen the single wires, press the orange clamp using a small screwdriver.
  • Place the mounting plate (A) in the flush-mounted box and fasten it to the flush-mounted box using the screws supplied (see figure 4).
  • Place the frame of your existing switch series or the supplied clip-on frame (B) on the mounting plate (see figure 5).
  • Place the electronic unit (C) of the wall-mount remote control into the frame by fully snapping the connection pins into the appropriate bracket of the mounting plate (see figure 5).
  • Switch the Homematic IP Wired bus on again to activate the teach-in mode of the device (see “5.4 Teaching-in” on page 38).

5.3 Installation into other frames

You can mount the device with the frame (B) provided or use it with frames of other manufacturers. The electronic unit (C) can also be integrated into a multi-gang frame (see figure 6). For mounting with multi-gang frames, make sure that the mounting plate of the device is seamlessly aligned to the already fixed mounting plate/ retaining ring. An overview of compatible switch series is available in the download area of www.homematic-ip.com.

5.4 Teaching-in

Read this entire section before starting the teach-in procedure.
Please refer to the Homematic IP Wired System Manual for detailed information on setup and control options.

To integrate the device into your system and enable it to communicate with other devices, you must teach it first. You can use the following set-up and control options:

Connecting to the Homematic IP Central Control Unit CCU3
For local, software-based configuration and control via PC, you can connect the presence sensor to a Central Control Unit CCU3 and to use it in comprehensive
programs (see “5.4.1 Connecting to the Central Control Unit CCU3” on page 39).

Connecting to the Homematic IP cloud (available soon)
For a flexible control via a free smartphone app, connect the device to the Homematic IP cloud (see “5.4.2
