General system information

This device is part of the Homematic IP smart home sys-tem and works with the Homematic IP radio protocol. All Homematic IP devices can be configured comfortably and individually with a smartphone via the Homematic IP app. The available functions provided by the Home-matic IP system in combination with other components are described in the Homematic IP User Guide. All cur-rent technical documents and updates are provided at www.eQ-3.de.

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 follows:

Open the Homematic IP app on your smart-phone.
Select the menu item “Teach-in device”.
Plug in the switch into the desired socket .
Teach-in mode remains activated for 3 minutes.

You can manually start the teach-in mode for an-other 3 minutes by pressing the system button (A) shortly.

Your device will automatically appear in the Home-matic IP app.
To conﬁrm, please enter the last four digits of the device number (SGTIN) in your app or scan the QR code. Therefore, please see the sticker supplied or attached to the device.
Please wait until teach-in is completed.
If teaching-in was successful, the LED lights up green.
If the LED lights up red, please try again.
Select the desired solution for your device.
In the app, give the device a name and allocate it to a room.

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.

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 loads.

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.

Behaviour after power recovery

After the device has been inserted to a socket or after pow-er recovery the pluggable switch performs a self-test/re-start (approx. 2 seconds). The device LED ﬂashes orange and green brieﬂy (LED test display). The LED will ﬂash if an error is detected during this test (see “8.3 Error codes and ﬂashing sequences” on page 34). 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.

Troubleshooting

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 “11 General information about radio operation” on page 37). 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.

Duty cycle

The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmis-sion 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 three long ﬂashes 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).

Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require you to carry out any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any maintenance or 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.

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 switching 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.
eQ-3 AG hereby declares that this device complies with the essential requirements and other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can ﬁnd the full declaration of conformity at www.eQ-3.de.
