-
If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
Connection and start-up
- Plug the radio-controlled switch socket into a regular grounded mains socket (wall socket) of the public supply grid. For outdoor use, the power outlet which is utilized must at least comply with protection class IP44.
- The wireless switch socket must only be used in an outdoor area in such a way that the protective covering can open upwards. The arrow in the pic- ture to the right indicates “up”.
- Lift up the protective flap up and plug the power plug of the load into the so- cket of the wireless switch socket. Only an IP44 power plug may be used as a power adaptor for the use outdoors.
- Move the protective flap back down so that it lies on the power plug. Do not block the protective flap.
Switching the load on/off using the button
- Briefly press the button at the front of the radio-controlled switch socket to switch the connected load on or off.
- An LED in the button indicates the current switch state:
- LED on: Mains socket/load is switched on
- LED off: Mains socket/load is switched off
Programming the radio-controlled switch socket to recognise a radio
transmitter
The wireless switch socket can be programmed to recog-nise a radio
transmitter of the RS2W radio system. Before programming, observe the
operating instructions of the radio transmitter you intend to use. Maintain a
minimum distance of 20 – 30 cm between the wireless switch socket and the
transmitter. Otherwise, programming process may fail.
-
If the radio-controlled switch socket is switched on (LED in the but-ton is on, the connected consumer is activated), switch the radio-controlled switch socket off.
To do this, briefly press the button, the LED in the button should go out. The radio-controlled switch socket must be switched off (LED in the button is off); otherwise, programming cannot be done. -
Start the programming procedure at the transmitter.
Example: Both buttons “ON” and “OFF” of the desired switch chan-nel (e.g. channel 1) of the 12-channel hand-held transmitter of the RS2W system must be pressed simultaneously until the red LED of the hand-held transmitter starts flashing. Release both buttons, the red LED continues to flash, the programming mode is activated. -
Press the button at the radio-controlled switch socket until the pro-gramming process on the transmitter is complete.
Example: The LED at the 12-channel hand-held transmitter of the RS2W system lights up blue and then goes dark. Release the but-ton of the radio- controlled switch socket now. -
The radio-controlled switch socket switches on to indicate the end of the programming process. The blue LED in the button lights up. Up to 5 receivers can be added to a switch channel of a transmitter of the RS2W system. This means, for ex-ample, that you can switch up to 5 radio-controlled switch socket on or off simultaneously by pressing one button.
It is also possible to register the radio-controlled switch socket on several transmitters.
The dimmer for the RS2W radio control system may not be registered together with a radio switch in a single switch channel! Always programme it to a separate chan-nel of the radio transmitter.
Deleting a programmed radio-controlled switch socket from a
transmitter
The procedure is exactly the same as for programming the radio-controlled
switch socket to the transmitter. You can find further in-formation in the
operating instructions of the used transmitter of the RS2W system.
Switching on/off wirelessly
- The radio-controlled switch socket can only be switched on or off wirelessly when it is programmed to a transmitter of the RS2W system.
- To do this, observe the operating instructions of the used radio sender.
Range
-
The transmission range of the radio signals between the radio transmitter of the RS2W radio system and the wireless socket is up to 150 m under optimum conditions. This value, however, is the so-called “open space range” (the range when transmitter and receiver are visible to each other, without interfering influences).
-
In practice, however, there may be walls, room ceilings, etc. bet-ween the transmitter and the receiver which will reduce the range accordingly.
-
Due to the different influences on the radio transmission, no specific range can be guaranteed. However, trouble-free operation is usu-ally possible in a single family house.
Sometimes the range can be considerably reduced due to: – Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings, light-weight walls with metal post and beam construction- Coated/metallised insulated glass
- Proximity to metallic & conductive objects (e.g., heating elements) – Proximity to human bodies
- Other devices using the same frequency (e.g. wireless headpho-nes, wireless loudspeakers)
- Proximity to electric motors/devices, transformers, power adap- ters, computers
Care and cleaning
- The product does not require any maintenance. You should not open/dissemble it. Repair or maintenance work must be carried out by a specialist.
- Before cleaning, disconnect the wireless switch socket from the power supply. To do this, pull it completely out of the mains so-cket. Disconnect a connected load from the radio-controlled switch socket.
- You can use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Dust can be very easily removed with a soft, clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.
- Do not use aggressive, chemical or scouring cleaning agents, as this may lead to discolouration or changes in the material on the surface.
