• In the app, give the device a name and allocate it to a room.

Troubleshooting

6.1 Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED lights up red at the end of the failed trans-mission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see „9 General information about radio operation“ on page 44). This may 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 teach-in processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during 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 and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

6.3 Error codes and flashing sequences

Restore factory settings

****The factory settings of the device can be restored. If you do this, you will lose all your settings.

To restore the factory settings of the dimming actuator, please proceed as follows:

• Press and hold down the system button ( A ) for at least 4 seconds using a VDE screwdriver, until the LED quickly starts flashing orange.
• 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 maintenance or 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 230V mains.

Clean the device using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. You may dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm water in order to remove more stubborn marks. Make sure that no moisture will ingress into the housing. 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 witching 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.
