6. Registering a FS20 transmitter
To register the wireless switch socket ‘FS20 ST’ with a FS20 transmitter (for
example, a remote control from the FS20 wireless control system or other
devices, such as the load monitor ‘FS20 FMS’), proceed as follows:
• Press and hold the control button on the ‘FS20 ST’ for at least 15
seconds. The control indicator/LED on the wireless switch socket starts
to blink and the device is now in programming mode.
Alternatively, the wireless switch socket can also be plugged
into the socket with the control button already pressed. This
way the device switches immediately to programming mode
(control indicator/LED blinks).
• Briefly press a button of the desired key combination on your remote
control or corresponding control button of a FS20 device (for example,
load monitor ‘FS20 FMS’).
When the wireless switch socket receives the code the control indicator/
LED stops blinking.
The wireless switch socket is now programmed to this remote control or
the corresponding FS20 device.
• If required, the programming can be replaced at any time by another
button on the remote control, or by another remote control channel. To
do this, proceed again as described above.
Additional functions (for example, timer programming) are
described later in this user manual.

8. Timer function
The wireless switch socket can also be used as a timer.
As soon as a switching time has been programmed, the ‘FS20
ST’ remains switched on for the programmed length of time
after each power-on command. After this time has expired, it
automatically switches off.
The timer is programmable for an on-time of between 1 second and 270
minutes (4 hours 30 min).
In order to program the timers you require a remote control
from the FS20 wireless control system. Please refer to the
corresponding user manual.
It is possible to program the timer for the load monitor
‘FS20 MS’ with its command menu; the following section
does not apply to the ‘FS20 FMS’.
a) Programming the timer
• Simultaneously press and hold both buttons of the respective button
combination on your FS20 remote control for one to five seconds (1 to 5
sec).
• The control indicator/LED on the wireless switch socket blinks. The time
measurement for the desired on-time begins.
• After the desired amount of time has expired press both buttons on the
remote control again simultaneously for one to five seconds (1 to 5 sec).
The on-time is now programmed.
Page 11

9. Integrating the wireless switch socket
into the FS20 address system
The ‘FS20 ST’ wireless switch socket can be integrated into the address
system of the FS20 wireless control system via the latter’s addressing
scheme using single addresses, function groups, local and global masters.
More detailed information on exactly how this address system is structured
is provided in the user manual of each transmitter belonging to the FS20
wireless control system.
a) Assigning further addresses/address types
The wireless switch socket can assign up to four address types within the
address system of the FS20 wireless control system.
This makes it possible, for example, to operate the wireless
switch socket remotely from several transmitters with the
same or different address types.
You can find more detailed information on the address system in the user
manual of each remote control belonging to the FS20 wireless control
system.
To assign several address types to the wireless switch socket, repeat the
programming steps described in section 6.
You can create a list of up to four addresses or address types
in the switch socket’s memory.
b) Deleting addresses or address types
To delete a reception channel from the saved list, proceed as follows:
• Place the ‘FS20 ST’ in programming mode as described in section 6
(press and hold the control button on the ‘FS20 ST’ for at least 15
seconds, until the control indicator/LED begins to blink).
Page 14
14
• Now press and hold (for at least 0.4 seconds) your remote control button
that has been assigned to the reception channel that you wish to delete.
• Afterwards the programming mode is automatically ended and the
corresponding channel is deleted from the address list of the wireless
switch socket.
10. Resetting the default settings
If necessary, you can delete in one step all programs and settings that were
previously saved in the wireless switch socket, thus setting the switch
socket back to its delivery state with all default settings. To do so, proceed
as follows:
• Press and hold the control button on the wireless switch socket for at
least 15 seconds.
• The control indicator/LED on the wireless switch socket starts to blink
and the device is now in programming mode. Then release the button.
• Briefly press the control button again.
All assigned addresses and the timer mode with its programmed
timer setting are now deleted or deactivated.
• The control indicator/LED goes out and the programming mode is ended.
The wireless switch socket no longer responds to any remote
command and must be programmed again!

14. Information on the range
• The FS20 wireless control system, including the ‘FS20 ST’, works in the
868MHz range. This range is also used by other devices and radio
services.
Therefore devices that operate on the same or neighbouring frequency
may restrict both the operation of the ‘FS20 ST’ and its range.
• The specified range of up to 100m is the so-called free-field range.
This describes the range when there is direct visual contact
between the transmitter and the receiver.
In practice, however, walls, ceilings, etc. between the transmitter and the
receiver may affect and reduce the range.
Other causes of reduced ranges:
• All types of high-frequency interference
• Any buildings or vegetation
• Conductive metal parts that are located near the devices or within or near
their transmission path, for example, radiators, metallised insulation
glass windows, reinforced concrete ceilings, etc.
• Influence on the radiation pattern of antennas due to the distance from
the transmitter or receiver to conductive surfaces or objects (also to
human bodies or the ground)
• Broadband interference in urban areas that reduces the signal-to-noise
ratio; the signal is no longer recognised due to this ‘noise’
• Interference radiation resulting from insufficiently shielded electronic
devices, for example, operating computers or similar
Page 18
18
Please note:
Do not place several wireless receivers (for example switch
sockets) directly next to each other, because they can negatively affect each other (range may be reduced!).
Keep them separated by a distance of at least 20cm.
