Intended use
The radio-controlled switch can be used to remotely switch a connected consumer on and off using a suitable radio transmitter of the
RS2W system.
The radio-controlled switch may only be used on mains voltage
(230 V/AC, 50 Hz). The maximum load for the connected devices is
max. 300 W/1.3 A (resistive load) or max. 30 W/0.13 A (inductive load).
The special design does not require a neutral conductor, which makes
installation in existing electric installations very easy.
It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with
moisture, e.g. in bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product for purposes other than those

instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical
personnel.
Preparations for installation
Please consult the section “Safety instructions”!
• To use the radio-controlled switch, install it in a suitable ush or
surface socket or other suitable enclosure.
• The radio-controlled switch must be disconnected from the power supply during installation. First, switch off all poles of the mains
supply by switching off at the circuit breaker or removing the fuse
and then also switch off the associated ground-fault circuit breaker.
Secure it against unauthorised reconnection, e.g., with a danger
sign. Afterwards, check the mains connection for absence of voltage using a suitable tester.
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 radio-controlled switch you
do not need the neutral wire - the two existing wires (phase “L” and
switched phase “L´”) are sufcient.
The radio-controlled switch can be used as a complementary component providing an additional wireless switching function for a wall switch.
This means you can keep your existing wall switch, and the light, which
has been switched on and off until now at the wall switch, can now also
be operated using a radio transmitter of the RS2W system.
The ush socket has to provide sufcient space to install the radio-controlled switch behind the existing wall switch.
Therefore, ensure a suitable protection against contact
with connecting, installing and using the radio-controlled
switch. Otherwise, there is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Remove the cover of your used wall switch and remove it from the
ush 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 radio-controlled switch; see the
diagram on the right.
The screw clamp labelled with “L” on the
radio-controlled switch is for connection
of phase/L; the screw clamp “ ” is the
switched output of phase/L.
If the “L” and “L´” connections are reversed
or, instead of the Phase “L”, the Neutral “N” cable is connected, this
may mean it may not be possible to program the radio-controlled
switch or LED lights might malfunction.
• Connect the two wires (C) on the radio-controlled switch to the two
switch contacts on your wall switch (“S1”; see the diagram on the
right).
• Position the radio-controlled switch in the ush socket so that the
LED (A) and the push button (B) are pointing towards you. Lay the
antenna (E) inside the ush socket so that it is not kinked/wound.
The push button is used to programme to a radio trans-
mitter of the RS2W system (e.g. to test whether the consumer can be switched on/off).
During installation, take care that there is enough free
space around the push button so it will not be switched
on by accident.
Before installing the wall switch and its cover, the pro-
gramming procedure must be conducted.
• Now, switch on the mains voltage.
Function test: Switching the connected consumer
on
using the push button
Briey press the push button on the radio-controlled switch to switch
the connected consumer on or off.
An LED next to the push button indicates the current switch state:
• LED on: Load switched on
• LED off: Load is switched off
Programming the radio-controlled switch to a radio transmitter
The radio-controlled switch can be programmed to every
transmitter of the RS2W system.
Before programming, observe the operating instructions
During programming, keep a minimum distance of

20 - 30 cm between the radio-controlled switch and the
transmitter. Otherwise, programming may fail.
button is on, the connected load is activated), switch of the radiocontrolled switch.
To do this, briey press the push button, the LED next to the push
button must go out.
The radio-controlled switch must be switched off (LED
next to the push button is out); otherwise, the programming procedure cannot be done.
Example: Both buttons “ON” and “OFF” of the desired switch channel at the 12-channel hand-held transmitter of the RS2W system
must by pressed simultaneously until the red LED of the hand-held
transmitter starts ashing. Release both buttons, the red LED continues to ash, the programming mode is activated.
• Press the button at the radio-controlled switched pressed until the
programming process at the transmitter is complete.
Example: The LED at the 12-channel hand-held transmitter of the
RS2W system lights up blue and then goes out. Release the button
at the radio-controlled switch.
• The radio-controlled switch switches on to indicate the end of the
programming process.
Up to 5 receivers can be programmed to one switch chan-
nel of a transmitter of the RS2W system. That means you
can switch up to 5 radio-controlled switches on or off simultaneously pressing one button.
It is also possible to programme the radio-controlled
switch to several transmitters.
However, the dimmer available for the RS2W system
must not be programmed together with a radio-controlled
switch to a single switch channel! Always programme it to
a separate channel of the radio transmitter.
Deleting a programmed radio-controlled switch
from a transmitter
The procedure is exactly the same as for programming the radio-
controlled switch to the transmitter. You can nd further information in
the operating instructions of the used radio transmitter of the RS2W
system.
Switching the consumer on/off
The radio-controlled switch and the connected load can only be switched on or off remotely, if they are programmed to a transmitter of the
RS2W radio system. Observe the operating instructions of the used
transmitter.
The consumer can be switched on or off as usual using the wall switch
connected to the radio-controlled switch.
Range
The range of the radio signals between a transmitter of the RS2W
system and the radio-controlled switch is up to 150 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 practice, however, there may be walls, room ceilings,
etc. between the transmitter and the receiver which reduce the range accordingly.
Due to the different inuences on the radio transmission,
no specic range can be guaranteed. However, trouble-
free operation is usually possible in a single family house.
Sometimes the range can be considerably reduced due to:
• Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings, light-weight walls with metal
post
• Coated/metallised insulated glass
• Proximity to metallic & conductive objects (e.g., heating elements)
• Proximity to human bodies
• Other devices using the same frequency (e.g. wireless headphones, wireless loudspeakers)
• Proximity to electric motors/devices, transformers, power adapters,
computers
Care and cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be
opened or dissembled for any reason. Repair or maintenance work
must be carried out by a specialist.
