Installation and connection
Please observe the chapter “Safety instructions”!
The wireless inbuilt switch can be mounted in a suitable
place. The housing of the wireless inbuilt switch is protected according to IP66. Thus, it may be installed in unpro-
tected outdoor areas. Make sure that the housing is never
in or under water.
The wireless inbuilt switch must be disconnected from
the mains supply during installation. Turn off the mains
supply, by switching off the appropriate circuit breaker or
by pulling out the fuse. Secure it against unauthorised
reconnection, e.g., with a danger sign.
Furthermore, turn off the earth leakage circuit breaker to
disconnect all the poles from the mains voltage.
Check that the mains connection is current free with a
suitable tester.
• Open the cover of the protective housing by removing the 4 screws
on the top with a screwdriver. You can then remove the cover.
• The complete external wireless switch can be removed from the
housing.
• Remove the two screws on the cover (5) and remove the cover. The
screw terminals for the two outputs/switching channels (8+9), the
input for power supply (10) and the strain relief (11) for the connection cables are situated under the cover.
• Depending on the installation location and the position of the connecting cables, up to 4 ller plugs (6) can be used instead of the 4
cable connections provided.
Makes sure that the rubber seals of the cable connections make
good contact with the housing and are not kinked.
• Depending on the type of wall, suitable screws and wall plugs are
required for mounting the housing to a wall.
Select an installation location that is not in direct vicinity to
other transmitters. Maintain distance to metal parts as this
can reduce the range considerably.
If you have to drill holes for wall plugs, mark the installation location
on the wall through the four holes (1) at the housing corners. The
distance between the holes for mounting is 100 x 80 mm.
Pay attention when drilling and tightening the screws that no cables
or pipes are damaged.
• Push the power cable and the connection cables for the de-
vices through the cable connections (admissible cable diameter
7 - 12 mm).
• Slacken the three strain reliefs.
• Connect the power cable to the input (10) of the external wireless
switch (L = phase/brown cable, N = neutral wire/blue cable, PE =
protective each conductor/yellow-green cable).
• Connect the screw terminals of the two switching channels with the
devices, e.g., to two lights.
The total power for both switching channels (ohmic load)
is 2000 W. For example, a device with 1500 W can be
controlled on switching channel 1 and a device with 500
W on switching channel 2.
For inductive loads, the total power for both switching
channels is 300 W (e.g., switching channel 1 = 200 W,
switching channel 2 = 100 W).
• The three separate terminals (7) are provided to connect the protective earth conductor or you can use the common cable terminals,
which can be housed in the housing of the wireless inbuilt switch.
If more than one of the terminals (7) is used, the terminals must be
connected to each other.
• Tighten the screw of the strain reliefs (11).
• Replace the cover (5) and tighten the screws.
• Screw the lock nuts of the cable connections so that the cables are
securely xed. Sealing according to IP66 is only guaranteed when
this is done.
• Now, switch on the mains voltage.
Before placing the cover onto the housing of the wireless
inbuilt switch and screwing it tight, the device must be
programmed to the used wireless transmitter(s).
When this is done successfully, the housing must be
closed and screwed tight. Subsequently, the device is
fully operational.
Function test: Switching the connected load on/off
using the push button
Briey press the button (2 or 4) on the external wireless switch to
switch the connected device on or off.
Programming the external wireless switch to a radio transmitter
The external wireless switch can be programmed to every
radio transmitter of the RS2W radio system.
Before programming, observe the operating instructions
of the radio transmitter you intend to use.
During programming, maintain a minimum distance of
20 - 30 cm between the external wireless switch and the
transmitter. Failing to do this may result in a programming
failure.
Each of the two switching channels of the wireless inbuilt
switch can be programmed to 5 different wireless transmitters of the RS2W system. This way, the connected
devices can be switched on or off e.g., from several locations.
Both switching channels are independent of each other.
Thus, each switching channel must be programmed separately. With this method, it is possible for both switching
channels to react to, for example, one transmitter channel
or for each switching channel to react separately to e.g.,
transmitter channel 1 and/or 2, etc.
• When a device connected to the external wireless switch, switch off
the corresponding device rst at the external wireless switch with
the corresponding button (2 or 4).
The switching channel intended for programming must be
switched off; otherwise, programming cannot be done.
• Start with the programming process on the radio transmitter.
Example: Both buttons “ON” and “OFF” of the desired switch channel at the 12-channel hand-held transmitter of the RS2W system
must be pressed simultaneously until the red LED on the hand-held
transmitter starts ashing. Release both buttons, the red LED continues to ash, the programming mode is activated.
• Keep the corresponding button for the switching channel you want
to programme pressed until programming on the radio transmitter
is complete.
Example: The LED at the 12-channel hand-held transmitter of the
RS2W system, lights up blue and then goes dark. Release the button on the external wireless switch.
• The switching channel of the external wireless 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. This means, for
example, that you can switch up to 5 external wireless
switches on or off simultaneously by pressing one button.
It is also possible to programme the external wireless
switch to multiple transmitters.
However, the dimmer available for the RS2W system
must not be programmed together with an external wireless switch to a single switching channel! Always programme it to a separate channel of the radio transmitter.
Deleting a programmed external wireless switch
from a transmitter
The procedure is exactly the same as for programming the external
wireless switch to the transmitter. You can nd further information in
the operating instructions of the used radio transmitter of the RS2W
system.
Switching the device on/off remotely
• Both switching channels of the external wireless switch and the connected devices can only be switched on or off remotely, if they were
programmed to a transmitter of the RS2W radio system.
• Follow the description above and the operating instructions of the
radio transmitter that will be used.
The LED on the external wireless switch lights up briey
when a radio signal was received.
Range
• The range of the radio signals between a transmitter of the RS2W
system and the external wireless switch is up to 150 m under optimum conditions.
This value, however, is the so-called “open space range”
(the range when the transmitter and receiver are in line of
sight, without any interference).
• In practice, however, there may be walls, room ceilings, etc. between the transmitter and the receiver, which will reduce the range
accordingly.
• Due to the different inuences on the wireless transmission, no spe-
cic 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 oors, drywall walls with metal frame
construction
- Coated/metallised insulated glass
- Proximity to metallic & conductive objects (e.g., heating elements)
- Proximity to human bodies
- Other devices on the same frequency (e.g., wireless headpho-
nes, wireless loudspeakers)
- Proximity to electric motors/appliances, transformers, power supplies, computers
Care and cleaning
• The product is maintenance-free. Any maintenance or repair work
may be performed only by an expert.
• To clean the exterior of the wireless inbuilt switch, a dry, soft and
clean cloth is sufcient.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or
other chemical solutions as they can cause damage to the housing
and malfunctioning.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
