Transmission range
The wireless transmitter has a range of up to 70 m in
open spaces with no obstructions. In practice, however,
there may be walls, ceilings or other objects between the
transmitter and the receiver, which will reduce the range
accordingly. Different objects have a different impact on
the range, therefore no specic range can be guaranteed.
However, the range should be sufcient for use in a deta-
ched house.
The range can be considerably reduced by:
- Walls and reinforced concrete ceilings
- Coated / double-glazed windows
- Proximity to metal and conducting objects (e.g. radiators)
- Proximity to people
- Broadband interference (e.g. cordless telephones, mobile phones, wireless headphones and speakers, radio-controlled weather stations and baby monitors)
- Proximity to electric motors, transformers, power-supply units and
computers
- Proximity to poorly shielded or uncovered computers or other
electrical appliances
Connection and installation
• Choose a clean, dry location in which to install the transmitter.
• Connect the wireless transmitter to the
switch’s electric cable (see diagram).
Never attach the magnetic ring to an uninsulated cable or
a cable with damaged insulation.
• Take appropriate measures to secure the transmitter in place (e.g.
with adhesive tape or a ush-mounted box).
• You can use the wireless switch to control an RSL wireless switch
(e.g. Conrad item no. 640303). The switch will turn on when a voltage is detected in the connected cable and switch off when the
voltage is lost.
Operation
a) Programming a receiver
Ensure that no other transmitters or sources of interfe-
rence are sending signals when you are programming the
receiver, otherwise the receiver may not program properly.
You can add an unlimited number of receivers to each
channel.
Proceed as follows:
• Press the function button (1) to select the channel. The blue LED
indicates the selected channel.
• Place the receiver that you want to program in programming
mode. Programming mode should be enabled for approximately
15 seconds, although this may vary between devices. Refer to the
device’s operating instructions for details.
• After enabling programming mode on the receiver, hold down the
function button (1) on the transmitter until the LED indicator (3)
starts to ash quickly. This indicates that programming mode is enabled on the receiver. The transmitter sends a signal to the receiver
when you hold down the function button (1).
• Keep holding down the function button until the device connected
to the switch turns on. If the receiver fails to add the transmitter,
release the function button to exit programming mode.
• Programming mode will be disabled automatically when the receiver has added the transmitter.
• Repeat these steps in the same order to program other receivers.
b) Function test and normal operation
• Once you have programmed the receiver, use it in accordance with
its operating instructions. If the device connected to the receiver
turns on when you press the switch, this indicates that the switch
system is functioning correctly.
• The transmitter detects the presence of a voltage in the connected
cable.
• When a voltage is detected, the transmitter sends a power-on signal
to the receiver. When the voltage is lost, the transmitter sends a
power-off signal.
• The device connected to the receiver turns on or off accordingly.
c) Deleting preprogrammed transmitters
• If you do not want a receiver to respond to the transmitter (e.g. if
you want to use the channel for another RSL transmitter), you can
delete the transmitter accordingly. Refer to the receiver’s operating
instructions for details.
• Repeat the same steps to delete the transmitter from other receivers.
• You do not need to change the settings on the transmitter. After
deleting the transmitter, you can program other receivers as normal.
d) Changing the battery
Replace the battery when the transmitter stops working or when you
notice a signicant drop in the range. Replace the battery with a new
one of the same type (CR2477). To change the battery, proceed as
follows:
• Carefully push the two halves of the casing apart with your nger-
nails or a at screwdriver.
• The two halves of the casing are held together by small tabs. At
least two of the three tabs must be pressed in order to open the
casing. Be careful not to break the tabs when opening the casing.
• Remove the used battery.
• Insert a CR2477 battery in the correct polarity. The positive pole (+)
must be placed on the round hole on the lid.
• Place the two halves of the casing onto the circuit board contacts
(with the battery in the battery compartment) and carefully press
them together until the tabs click into place.
• Ensure that all of the cables protruding from the transmitter are
placed in the correct inlets and are not squashed.
Care and cleaning
• The product is maintenance free (apart from changing the battery).
Never attempt to disassemble the product. Repair and maintenance
work must be done by a technician.
• Always disconnect the product from the power supply before
cleaning it.
• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical
solutions, as these may damage the casing or cause the product
to malfunction.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
