the mains voltage is available and a connected consumer load is
turned on.
• Briey press the OFF button for the switching channel and the “ON/
OFF/INDICATOR” LED (6) goes out; the mains voltage to the front
socket (7), and thus the connected consumer load, is turned off.
Operation
• Connect a consumer load to the front socket (7).
Please consult the section “Technical data” for the
permissible maximum power.
• By using the respective “ON” or “OFF” button for the switching chan-
nel on the handheld radio transmitter, the wireless plug-in dimmer
switch set to the same switching channel is turned on (the LED “ON/
OFF/INDICATOR” (6) lights up) or off (the LED “ON/OFF/INDICATOR” (6) goes out).
• The wireless plug-in dimmer switch can be switched on or off manu-
ally using the “ON/OFF” button (1) located on the front.
Dimmer function
• Switch the dimmer on, by briey pressing the ON button for the
corresponding switching channel once.
• Press the ON button for the corresponding switching channel on the
wireless transmitter. The dimmer function starts.
• Press the ON button for the corresponding switching channel on the
wireless transmitter. The dimmer function stops.
Range
• The range of the radio signals between the hand-held radio trans-
mitter and the radio controlled sockets is up to 70 m under optimum
conditions.
This value, however, is the so-called “open space
range” (the range when transmitter and receiver are
visible to each other, without interfering inuences).
In practical operation, however, there are walls, cei-
lings of rooms etc. between the transmitter and the
receiver, which reduce the range accordingly.
Due to the different inuences on the radio transmis-
sion, no specic range can be guaranteed.
Nevertheless, trouble-free operation in a single-fami-
ly home is usually possible.
The range can sometimes be limited considerably by:
- Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings
- Coated/metallised insulated glass
- Proximity to metal & conducting objects (e.g. radiators)
- Proximity to human bodies
- Broadband interferences, e.g. in residential areas (DECT telephones, mobile phones, radio-controlled headphones, radio-
controlled speakers, radio-controlled weather stations, baby
phones etc.)
- Proximity to electric motors, transformers, power-supply units,
computers
- The proximity to improperly shielded or uncovered operating
computers or other electric appliances
Care and cleaning
• The product does not require any maintenance and should never be
opened or disassembled for any reason.
• Remove the connected consumer loads from the wireless plug-in
dimmer switch and remove it from the mains socket before cleaning
the product.
• Only clean the product with a soft, clean, dry cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions since these might
damage the surface of the casing or impair the operation.
