Installation and connection
Refer to the section “Preparations for installation”.
In older domestic electric installation systems, there is frequently no
neutral wire in the existing wall sockets. In these cases conventional
wireless switch systems cannot be installed without expensive upgrading of the wiring and the resulting necessary masonry work.
Thanks to the special 2-wire design of the inbuilt wireless switch you
do not need the neutral wire - the two existing wires (phase “L” and
switched phase “L´”) are sufcient.
The 2-wire design of the wireless inbuilt switch is therefore ideal, if
you want to supplement a conventional wall switch with an additional
wireless switch function. This means you can keep your existing wall
switch and the light, which has been switched on and off up till now
at the wall switch, can now also be operated using a wireless wall
transmitter or with a RSL system remote control.
The wall socket has to have sufcient space to install the wireless
inbuilt switch behind the existing wall switch.
• Remove the cover of your existing wall switch and remove the
switch from the wall socket.
• Remove the two cables (Phase “L”
and switched Phase “L´”) from the
wall switch and connect them to the
two screw clamps (D) on the wireless
inbuilt switch; see the diagram on
the right.
If the “L” and “L´” connections are
reversed or, instead of the Phase “L”,
the Neutral, “N” cable is connected,
this may mean it is not being possible
to program the wireless inbuilt switch
or, where there are LED lights, to
their malfunction.
• Connect the two wires (C) on the
wireless inbuilt switch to the two
switch contacts on your wall switch
(“S1”; see the diagram on the right).

• Position the wireless inbuilt switch in the wall socket, so the LED (A)
and the push button (B) are pointing towards you.
Take care during installation so as not to inadvertently switch on the
push button (B). This is intended, for example, to assign a transmitter or to delete all registered transmitters.
Read the following sections carefully before installing and
securing the wall switch in the wall socket.
Assigning the first switching channel/transmitter
The wireless inbuilt switch can be assigned to any wireless transmitter
in the RSL System, e.g. a wireless wall transmitter or a remote control.
A total of 10 different switching channels/wireless trans-
mitters in the RSL System can be assigned. Thus, the
wireless inbuilt switch can be turned on and off from different locations.
When it is used for the rst time, at least one switching
channel/ transmitter must be assigned. Each assigned
switching channel can be used for assigning further
switching channels/transmitters.
Proceed as follows:
• Switch on the power supply. The LED light on the wireless inbuilt
switch will then ash on and off for approx. 15 seconds, during
which time the wireless inbuilt switch is in the programming/assign
mode.
To restart the programming/assign mode after these 15
seconds, hold down the push button (B) on the wireless
inbuilt switch for approx. 3 seconds, until the LED (A)
starts ashing. This can also be used, if you want to register additional switching channels/transmitters.
Use a suitable electrician‘s screwdriver for this! Never
touch the screw clamps, the cable wires or the wall switch
during this process! There is a risk of a fatal electric
shock!
Additional switching channels/transmitters can be as-
signed later with a switching channel/transmitter that has
already been assigned. The push button on the wireless
inbuilt switch is not required for this. Please consult the
section “Operation”.
• During these 15 seconds (with LED ashing) press and hold the
“on“ button on a wall-mounted radio transmitter or a wireless remote
control (marked “ON” or “I”) for at least 3 seconds, until the LED light
becomes steady and the connected lamp is turned on.
The switching channel/transmitter has been assigned and the pro-
gramming/assign process is nished.
• Switch the power supply off again. Check that the mains connection
is current free using a suitable tester. Now install the wall switch in
the wall socket.
Take care during this process that you do not inadvertent-
ly switch on the push button (B), for example, make sure
the wall switch, once inserted, does not press against the
wireless inbuilt switch.
• Attach the front casing and the wall switch’s rocker switch.
• Switch on the voltage supply.
• The wireless inbuilt switch is now ready for operation. The light that
is connected to it can now either be operated as before, at the wall
light switch, or via the assigned transmitter.
Additional switching channels/transmitters can be as-
signed with the switching channel/transmitter that was
assigned rst. The push button on the wireless inbuilt
switch is not required for this. Please consult the section
“Operation”.
Operation
a) Assigning additional switching channels/transmitters
• Start the wireless inbuilt switch in the programming/assign mode. To
do this, use a transmitter that is already registered for your wireless
inbuilt switch.
For a minimum of 3 seconds, press simultaneously the “ON” and
“OFF” push buttons on the transmitter (marked, e.g. “ON” and
“OFF” or “l” and “O”). Make sure the two push buttons are for the
same switching channel.
For example, if you have assigned Switching Channel
1 on a 4-channel remote control to the wireless inbuilt
switch, press both buttons on Switching Channel 1 for 3
seconds.
Please note: If this switching channel is already assigned
to another RSL receiver, this also changes to the programming/assign mode (for example the wireless inbuilt
switch and a wireless switch socket, if both devices have
been assign to Switching Channel 1 on a remote control).
Therefore, to avoid this happening, you should only start
the programming/assign process for the wireless inbuilt
switch using a transmitter/switching channel that is not
assigned to another RSL receiver!
• The programming/assign mode of the wireless inbuilt switch is then
activated for 15 seconds (the LED (A) ashes, but of course, due to
the installation location, it is not visible). During this period the new
switching channel/transmitter must be assigned.
You can also start the programming/assign process by
pressing the push button (B) on the casing of the wireless inbuilt switch for at least 3 seconds, until the LED (A)
starts ashing.
However, because this requires the wall switch installed
in front of the wireless inbuilt switch to be removed from
the wall socket, this process may only be carried out by a
qualied electrician.
• Now move on to the next transmitter that you want to assign.
You can also assign several switching channels to a
single transmitter. For example, on a 4-channel remote
control, Channel 1 might only operate the ceiling light in
the kitchen, Channel 2 could then control the ceiling light
and a wireless socket in the RSL system simultaneously
while Channel 3 could be dedicated solely to the wireless
switch socket. While channel 4 could operate the ceiling
lights in the kitchen and bathroom simultaneously.
• Press the “on” button on a switching channel or a remote control
(e.g. the “I” button on a wireless wall transmitter or the “ON” button
on a remote control) for at least 3 seconds, until the light connected
to it switches on. Then, release the button again.
• The new switching channel/transmitter has been assigned and the
programming/assign process is nished.
• If you wish to program further wireless transmitters, you have to
reactivate the programming/assign process. Please proceed as
described above.
Any programmed switching channel/ transmitter can be
used to start the programming/assign process on the
wireless inbuilt switch and to assign other switching channels/transmitters.
b) Deleting a single assigned switching channel/transmitter
from the Wireless Inbuilt Switch
If the wireless inbuilt switch no longer appropriate for a switching
channel / transmitter (e.g. if you want to use the switching channel for
a different wireless receiver in the RSL system), the switching can be
deleted from the wireless inbuilt switch’s registry.
Leave at least one switching channel/transmitter regis-
tered on the wireless inbuilt switch. Otherwise, you will
have to go back to the installation and getting started
procedure.
However, because this requires the wall switch installed
in front of the wireless inbuilt switch to be removed from
the wall socket, there is a risk of a fatal electric shock.
Therefore, this work must only be carried out by a qualied electrician (exactly as required for the initial connection and installation procedure!)
Proceed as follows:
• Use the transmitter with the switching channel you want to delete
from the wireless inbuilt switch.
• Press the “ON” and “OFF” push buttons for the switching channel
you want to delete, for at least 3 seconds.
• The wireless inbuilt switch‘s programming/assign mode is then activated (the LED (A) ashes, but of course, due to the installation lo-
cation, it is not visible); it stops automatically after 15 seconds. During this period the switching channel/transmitter must be deleted.
• Press the “ON” or “O” push button for the switching channel you
want to delete for at least 3 seconds.
• The switching channel is deleted from the wireless inbuilt switch and
the programming/assign mode ends automatically.
c) Deleting all switching channels/transmitters and restoring to
factory settings
However, because this requires the wall switch installed
in front of the wireless inbuilt switch to be removed from
the wall socket, there is a risk of a fatal electric shock.
Therefore, this work must only be carried out by a qualied electrician (exactly as required for the initial connection and installation procedure!)
• The LED on the wireless inbuilt switch must be off; if necessary,
briey press the push button (B) to switch off the light connected to
it, which will extinguish the LED (A).
• Press the push button (B) on the wireless inbuilt switch for longer
than 3 seconds, so that the programming/assign mode is activated.
The LED (A) ashes.
• Press the push button (B) on the wireless inbuilt switch for longer
than 3 seconds again. The LED (A) goes out. All the stored switching channels/transmitters are deleted.
• Now proceed as described in the section “Assigning the rst switch-
ing channel/transmitter”.
Operation
• The connected light can be switched on or off at the wall switch
as usual.
Due to the operating principle, when using a wireless
transmitter switch it is sometimes the case that it is no
longer possible to use the ON/OFF rocker switch on the
wall to operate the light.
Example: The light is off, but the rocker switch is in the
down position. In which case, you switch the light on using the transmitter and you turn off the light switch on the
wall. Now, the rocker switch is pointing up!
• Alternatively, the wall switch can be activated, to turn the light on or
off, via the RSL system, which has been registered on the wireless
inbuilt switch.
- Switching on: Briey press the “I” button (Wireless wall transmitter) or the “ON” button on a remote control.
- To switch off: Briey press the “O” button (Wireless wall transmit-
ter) or the “OFF” button on a remote control.
Information about the range
• Dependent on the type of wireless transmitter you use, the range
is up to 70 m.
This value, however, is the so-called “open space range”
(the range the transmitter and receiver are visible to each
other, without disturbing inuences).
In practical operation, however, there are walls, the ceil-
ings 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. However,
trouble-free operation is usually possible in a detached
house.
The range can sometimes be limited considerably by:
- Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings
- Coated / metallised insulating 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
- Proximity to badly shielded or uncovered computers in use or
other electrical appliances
