Winkhaus FM.A Operating Instructions Manual

Wireless Contact FM.A

Operating instructions

1. Product description

The FM.A wireless contact is a visible,
energy self-sufficient radio contact, which
is fixed to the window. It is visibly installed
on the window frame, enabling detection
of opening and closing procedures of a
window in combination with a magnet
attached to the sash. After the teaching
process the signal is wirelessly transmitted
to a subsequent EnOcean-compatible
component or a subsequent EnOcean­compatible smart home system, using an
EnOcean radio protocol.

A possible application of the sensor is
heating control. In combination with
suitable heater actuators it is possible to
turn the heating down and hence to save
energy when the window is open. Further
solutions include the connection of a relay,
e. g. to activate or deactivate air con­ditioners or ventilation systems. It is also
possible to control the window by means
of appropriate alarm sensors and control
centres.

5. Start-up

Before the start-up

These mounting instructions include the
installation and the teaching procedure of
Winkhaus wireless contacts on a window
or patio door. Every person in charge of
installation must have read and under­stood these mounting instructions.

During installation and use it is important
to protect the wireless contact from heavy
shocks, as it may be damaged.

The wireless contact FM.A is not suitable
for outdoor use and in humid environment.

Preparation

The wireless contact FM.A is delivered
ready for use, but the energy storage
might be empty if it was stored for a long
period. The energy storage is refilled
automatically with the aid of the solar cell
in daylight. If the wireless contact FM.A
does not react to the teaching procedure,
it should be charged in a bright place for a
few hours. (The contact must not be
exposed to direct solar radiation).

Teaching procedure

In order to make rational use of the
wireless contact it is necessary to teach it
in with a compatible smart home system or
another compatible component (e. g. En­Ocean-compatible relays, actuators etc).

Step 1: Activate the teaching mode

For starting the teaching procedure you
first need to switch the smart home system
or the subsequent component into the
teaching mode. (How this is done you can
learn from the operating instructions of the
smart home system or the subsequent
component.)
