4 General system information

This device is part of the Homematic IP smart home sys- tem and works with the Homematic IP radio protocol. All devices of the system can be configured comfortably and individually with the Homematic IP smartphone app. Al- ternatively, you can operate the Homematic IP devices via the Central Control Unit CCU2/CCU3 or in connection with various partner solutions. The available functions provided by the system in combination with other com- ponents are described in the Homematic IP User Guide. All current technical documents and updates are provided at www.homematic-ip.com.

Start-up

Start-up
- Installation and teaching-in

Please read this entire section before starting the teach-in procedure.

First set up your Homematic IP Access Point via the Homematic IP app to enable operation of other Homematic IP devices within your system. For further information, please refer to the oper- ating manual of the Access Point.
To integrate the pluggable switch into your system and enable it to communicate with other Homematic IP de- vices, you must teach-in the device to your Homemat- ic IP Access Point first.
To teach-in the pluggable switch, please proceed as fol- lows:

Open the Homematic IP app on your smartpho-
Select the menu item “Teach-in device”.
Plug in the switch into the desired socket (see figure 2).
Teach-in mode remains activated for 3

You can manually start the teach-in mode for an- other 3 minutes by pressing the system button (A) shortly (see figure 3).
After teaching-in, loads such as electric heaters can be easily connected to the pluggable switch. Connected loads can then be switched on and off.

6 Operation

After teaching-in and installing have been performed, simple operations are available directly on the device.

Press the system button (A) shortly to switch on and off connected

Improper usage or a defective installation (e.g. low-quality or defective plugs or sockets) can lead to overheating of the pluggable switch. The integrated temperature control automatically switches off the load. The devices is protected against overheating and secure operation is en- sured. As soon as the temperature reaches a non- critical value, you can switch on the pluggable switch again. Always observe the permitted ambi- ent temperature of the device and, if necessary, have the installation checked for possible error sources by an expert.

7 Behaviour after power recovery

After the device has been inserted to a socket or after power recovery the pluggable switch performs a self-test/restart (approx. 2 seconds). The device LED (A) flashes orange and green briefly (LED test display). The LED will flash if an error is detected during this test (see “8.4 Error codes

and flashing sequences” on page 37). This is repeated continuously and the device does not perform its function. If the test is completed without errors, the device transmits a wireless telegram containing its status information. and flashing sequences” on page 37). This is repeated continuously and the device does not perform its function.
If the test is completed without errors, the device transmits a wireless telegram containing its status information.

8 Troubleshooting

8.1 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 trans- mission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see “11 General information about radio operation” on page 39). This may be caused be the following:

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

8.2 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 in- stances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long 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).

8.3 Automatic disconnection in case of overload

If the device is overloaded with load currents gre- ater than 13 A or with loads with more than 3 kW power, after a short delay time, this leads to the device’s automatic disconnection. The safety dis- connection is reported with an error message via the app or WebUI.

To be able to use the device again, you must remove the overload and unplug the device once from the socket then plug it back in again. Alternatively, you can wait 30 minutes after removing the overload (“restart lock”). The device can then be switched on again. The device is not automatically switched on after the restart lock has ex- pired.

10 Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require you to carry out any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to\ carry out any repairs.
Clean the product 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. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label

11 General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibil- ity of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or de- fective 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-PS-2 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.homematic-ip.com
