1. Prescribed use
The ‘FS20 S4UB’ flush-mounted battery transmitter is designed to remotely control various
components from the FS20 wireless control system.
It can remotely control these components on 2 or 4 channels.
The transmitter can be installed in a flush-mounted socket behind an installation button, for
example.
Battery operation allows the device to be installed almost anywhere
. It is independent of a
mains socket.
The device can be operated using any installation buttons. To ensure its convenient operation,
four buttons are already fixed to the circuit board.
The integrated lithium battery boasts an approximate battery life of up to 10 years.
For information on how to replace the battery please make sure that you
read the relevant section of this user manual!
Any use other than the one described above may damage the product and can also increase
the risk of short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc.
No part of the product may be modified or adapted and the casing must not be opened.
All the safety instructions and installation notes in this manual must be
observed without fail.

4. Safety instructions
The product’s guarantee becomes invalid, if the product is damaged as
a result of the failure to observe these operating instructions! We do not
assume any liability for any resulting damages!
Nor do we assume liability for damage to property or personal injury
caused by improper use or failure to observe the safety instructions. In
such cases the product’s guarantee becomes invalid.
Dear customer, the following safety instructions are intended to protect you as well as
the device. Please take time to read through the following points:
a) General information
• If you are not sure how to assemble, connect and install the device or if you have doubts
about its mode of operation, contact a skilled technician.
• For safety and licensing (CE) reasons any unauthorised alterations to and/or modification
of the product are not permitted.
• This product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children. Children are unable
to appreciate the dangers associated with electric devices.
• The product should only be operated in dry indoor areas. Do not expose the device to heat,
cold or direct sunlight.
• In order to prevent short circuits, or unintentional transmissions or to stop the battery from
prematurely wearing out, attach the supplied insulating caps to the cables that are not used
by the flush-mounted battery transmitter ‘FS20 S4UB’.
• After installation, make sure that no cables etc., are pressing against the buttons on the
FS20 S4UB’s circuit board, as this could inadvertently trigger transmissions and cause the
battery to wear out quickly.
• The product may only be operated using the preinstalled lithium battery. The battery should
last up to 10 years.
Never remove (apart from when you replace the battery) the shrink film
that covers the flush-mounted battery transmitter! The product’s guarantee/warrantee becomes invalid if you remove this shrink film!

When it becomes necessary to replace the battery, make sure that you use the same type
of battery. Furthermore, ensure that you provide effective protection against contact using
adequate heat-shrink tubing, for example.
If you have any doubts, get a skilled and qualified technician to replace the battery for you.
Please also read section ‘10. Battery replacement’.
Replacing a battery incorrectly (if a short-circuit occurs, for example)
could cause an explosion. This could lead to serious personal injury!
• Do not leave packaging material lying around. This may become a dangerous plaything in
the hands of children.
• Handle the product with care; knocks, blows or even a fall from a low height can damage
it.
b) Batteries and rechargeable batteries
Although only a lithium battery of the type ‘BR3032’ can be used in the flush-mounted battery
transmitter ‘FS20 S4UB’, the following points naturally apply to all batteries and rechargeable
batteries:
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around as they could be swallowed by
children or pets. In such case seek immediate medical care.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns, if they come
into contact with skin. Therefore, please make sure you use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, taken apart or
thrown into fire. They might explode!
• Conventional batteries must not be recharged. They might explode!
Please read section ‘10. Battery replacement’ before replacing the lithium
battery that is preinstalled in the flush-mounted battery transmitter.
You could cause an explosion, if you handle lithium batteries incorrectly!

b) Installation
When installing the device please make absolutely sure that you carry out the
steps in the following order.
1. The ‘FS20 S4UB’ flush-mounted battery transmitter is normally installed in a deep
installation box. Before installing the device, you can mount an installation button, which
you can then use to operate the ‘FS20 S4UB’.
When choosing an installation location, make sure that there are no voltagecarrying conductors
in the immediate vicinity of the transmitter as these may
restrict the transmission range.
No sharp edges, sharp points or similar should be located at the installation
location. These could damage the insulating film and cause short circuits,
which could then destroy the flush-mounted battery transmitter.
Also make sure that you do not place the transmitter in a metal casing that is
closed on all sides (no radio signals possible).
If voltage-carrying conductors are laid in the designated installation box (or a socket or a
switch needs to be removed, in the case of multiple covers, for instance), then you should
take the following necessary measures:
First, switch off the respective electrical circuit by turning and removing
the relevant fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
Make sure that nobody accidentally switches on the electrical circuit (safety
warning on the in-house distributor, mechanical block, etc.).
Then use a suitable measuring device to check whether the affected electric
circuit is fully voltage-free.
Only then should you continue (by removing the socket/switch covers, for
example).
2. Wire the flush-mounted battery transmitter with the external buttons as shown in figure 1
in section 5. a). Make sure that all the connections are securely fixed to the terminals of the
buttons.
All the unused wire ends of the ‘FS20 S4UB’ must be insulated using the
supplied covers and should not be connected anywhere else. Never shorten
the cables. If you require longer cables, use suitable terminal strips/junction
box terminals.

3. Insert the flush-mounted battery transmitter into the installation box.
Ensure that you leave enough space between any voltage-carrying cables/
terminal strips/junction box terminals and the ‘FS20 S4UB’ or that the cables/
terminal strips/junction box terminals are laid correctly. The insulation of older
power cords, in particular, is often damaged.
Not only do you risk destroying the ‘FS20 S4UB’, there is also the danger of
explosion or fire!
Insert or install the flush-mounted battery transmitter so that the integrated
buttons are not inadvertently pressed, when presetting an installation button,
for example, or laying cables.
Otherwise, switching operations could be accidentally triggered and the
battery life may also be reduced.
4. Install the desired number of control buttons in the installation box or boxes.
You can install as many buttons as you choose (you may only wish to install one button,
for example). If fewer than four buttons are installed, programming can only be carried out
via the buttons (‘TA1’, ‘TA2’, ‘TA3’ and ‘TA4’), which are integrated into the device.
Caution!
If the ‘FS20 S4UB’ is installed in a flush-mounted socket that also contains
voltage-carrying cables/terminal strips/junction box terminals, then certain
precautions need to be taken when operating the buttons.
Ensure that all voltage-carrying parts in the terminal box or distributor are laid
so that they cannot be contacted when the buttons on the ‘FS20 S4UB’ are
pressed.
Only press the buttons: Do not reach into the terminal box! When in doubt, use
an insulated VDE-approved screwdriver to press the buttons.
Otherwise there is the possibility of a life-threatening electric shock!
If you are operating the flush-mounted battery transmitter ‘FS20 S4UB’ as a 2-channel
transmitter, then the button combinations ‘TA1’/’TA2’ and ‘TA3’/’TA4’ each jointly belong
to a function unit. Bear this in mind when installing/setting up the connected buttons.
