• The product is designed in accordance with protection class I. Only a safety outlet such as a wall socket for the public supply grid may be used as a power source.

• The mains socket into which the product is plugged must be readily accessible.

• The product is equipped with an enhanced protection against acci-dental contact. An integrated mechanism will release the holes of the receptacle only, if the two prongs of a power plug are inserted into the two holes at once.

• Take special caution when children are around. Children cannot recognize the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical de-vices. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!

• The product is protected according to IP44; it can be mounted and operated outdoors. It is essential however, to ensure the correct operating position (see chapter “Connection / Start-up”).
  Never use the product in or under water, there is a danger of a fatal electric shock!

• Keep the product away from strong magnetic fields occurring near machines or electric motors.

• Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although transmitters of the RS2W wireless system only emit relatively weak radio signals, these may lead to the malfunctioning of life-support systems. The same may also apply to other areas.

• Never touch, operate, plug in or unplug the product with damp or wet hands. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock! The same applies for the load that is plugged in the socket of the prod-uct.

• Never connect the product to the power supply immediately after it has been transferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during transport). The condensation that forms might destroy the device. Moreover, there is danger of electric shock!
  Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching it on. Wait until the condensation has evaporated. This might take several hours. Only then the product may be plugged in to the mains socket and put into use.

• Always pull a mains plug out of the radio-controlled switch socket on the gripping surface. Never unplug a mains plug from a mains socket by pulling the cable.

• Never overload the product. Observe the maximum connected load in the chapter “Technical Data”.

• Do not connect in series! This can lead to an overload of the ra-dio-controlled switch socket! There is a risk of fire!

• Do not operate while it is covered! At higher connected loads, the radio-controlled switch socket becomes warm, which can lead to overheating and potentially a fire if covered!

• Current-free only when the plug is withdrawn!

• Do not use the product if it is damaged. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock! In this case, dispose of the product in an environmentally correct manner.

• Always pull the radio-controlled switch socket out of the mains sock-et (e.g. wall socket) before cleaning it or when the device will not be in use for a long time (e.g. for storage).

• • Although the product is suitable for outdoor use, you must never aim the water jet of a garden irrigation system or a pressure washer at the wireless switch socket.
  If any liquid has still managed to enter the device, immediately turn off the power supply to the mains socket at which the product is connected (turn off the fuse / circuit breaker / residual current ope-rated circuit breaker of the associated circuits). Only then can you unplug the radio-controlled switch socket from the mains socket and contact a specialist. Do not use the product any longer.

• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.

• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connec-tion of the device.

• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclu-sively by an expert or at a qualified shop.

• 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.
