Although the FS20 wireless control system only emits relatively weak radio signals, these may cause life-support systems to malfunction. This may also be the case in other areas. For safety and licensing (CE) reasons any unauthorised alterations to and/or modification of the product are not permitted. The product is designed in accordance with protection class I. Voltage/power may only be supplied via the public power supply (230V~/50Hz). This product is not a toy. Devices operated via the line voltage should be kept out of the reach of children. Therefore take particular care when children are around. Never dismantle the product! There is danger of a fatal electric shock! Do not leave packaging material lying around. This may become a dangerous plaything in the hands of children. The device is manufactured according to protection class IP65. The product may be used outdoors, provided that it has been appropriately and properly installed and its casing is closed correctly. To connect the device to the supply voltage as well as the consumer load or loads, work must be carried out on the supply voltage or on live voltage-carrying parts. Disconnect the device from the supply voltage (all poles) before you open its covers or casing. Make sure you do the same for all the consumer loads that are to be connected or are already connected. Ensure that the supply voltage cannot be switched on by a third party while work is carried out on the device. This can be done, for example, using mechanical security fixtures and additionally using conspicuous warning signs. 6

7 Always replace the control panel cover in the casing and screw it in tightly before switching on the supply voltage. Only people who are appropriately trained are permitted to carry out work on voltagecarrying parts. If you are not appropriately trained, please consult a qualified electrician who is authorised to carry out such work. Make sure you only load the product up to the capacity indicated. An overload may lead to the destruction of the device, a fire or an electrical accident. Do not use inadequate power cords. These should be sized according to the load to be connected. In addition to indoor installation, the device may also be installed outdoors, in damp rooms and in particularly dusty areas, provided that the safety and assembly instructions in this user manual are followed. The product then has the protection class IP 65 (protection against contact and protection against penetration of dust and hose water). Only rigid installation cables that are designed for fixed installations may be connected to the device. The device should be fixed firmly within a solid installation (for example, wallmounted using screws/dowels). The accident-prevention regulations, established by the Employer s Liability Insurance Association for electrical equipment and facilities, must be adhered to in commercial facilities. Consult a skilled technician if you have doubts about the mode of operation, safety or connection of the device. Handle the product with care; knocks, blows or even a fall from a low height can damage it. 7

8 6. Installation Before assembling and using the device, make sure you take note of all the safety and assembly instructions in this user manual. Only people who are appropriately trained are permitted to carry out work on voltage-carrying parts. If you are not appropriately trained, please consult a qualified electrician who is authorised to carry out such work. Any incorrect work carried out on the supply voltage may lead to a fatal electric shock. You endanger not only your own life but also the lives of others! Two important factors play a part in determining a suitable installation location: Any cabling that may already exist Good radio reception We therefore recommend that you test the radio reception at the installation location. When you have found a suitable installation location, proceed with the installation as follows: Disconnect the remote switch from the supply voltage! Open the remote switch s casing by removing the 4 screws on the upper surface of the device using a suitable screwdriver. There is 1 hole in each of the device s 4 corners. You can use a suitable pencil to mark the position of the remote switch through the four holes, in order to drill holes in a wall to insert dowels, for example. The installation location must be positioned so as to allow the rigid installation cables to be securely guided into the remote switch. Make sure that the drill holes or screws do not damage any cables, power supply lines, gas pipes, or similar! Life-threatening danger! Use appropriate screws/dowels to attach the remote switch at the installation location. The 4 openings/plastic locknuts for the consumer load must face downwards to the ground. 8

9 Using a suitable screwdriver, remove the three plastic screws from the control panel cover and carefully lift it off. Kanal 1 Kanal 2 Kanal 3 Kanal 4 L N PE REL1 REL 2 REL 3 REL 4 Figure 1: Wiring diagram and controls The radio receiver s circuit board is located at the lower left edge. Do not touch it. Make sure that the rigid installation cables do not damage the circuit board later on during installation! You will find 4 screw terminal blocks on the circuit board in the remote switch s casing. The consumer s installation cables are attached to these. The potential-free relays can also be used as either normally closed contact or normally open contact. You can also find a wiring diagram in the remote switch. The screw terminal block for the power connection of the remote switch is found on the upper right side of the circuit board. Please note: The power connection in the remote switch functions exclusively to supply power to the remote switch. No power supply is carried over to the consumer loads! Therefore, the consumer loads are to be supplied using appropriate branches in stationary electrical wiring. 9

10 The rigid installation cable must be properly secured on the outside, using fixed plastic insulation tubes, for example, or similar. Strip the cable ends of the installation cable off professionally. Loosen the cable bushings locknuts. Guide the installation cable through the lock nut (note the direction) and then through the cable bushing s grommet. First wire the cables to the control panel and to the consumers, according to the application you have planned. The power supply connection of the radio switch may only be cabled after the wiring to the control panel and consumers is complete. Firmly tighten the cable bushings lock nuts. Seal off the unused cable bushings in a suitable fashion, to ensure the impermeability of the remote switch. Check that the cabling is correct. Are all screws on the screw terminal blocks firmly tightened (do not over-tighten!)? Replace the control panel cover correctly. Be sure that the push button caps come through the corresponding holes. Tighten the control panel cover with the three plastic screws. The remote switch may only be connected to the power grid, or the power supply may only be turned on, after the control panel cover has been screwed into the remote switch using the three plastic screws. Replace the casing cover and screw it on after programming (see below). Make sure that the cover s rubber seal sits in its groove properly and does not get pinched when you screw on the cover. Otherwise, the impermeability of the remote switch cannot be guaranteed. When operated indoors in clean and dry conditions, the casing cover does not have to be used, allowing the connected consumer load to be operated using the internal buttons. 10

11 7. Programming and operation a) Operating modes The remote switch can be controlled either directly via the four built-in buttons channel 1 to channel 4 (only possible when used in dry, clean indoor conditions) or using a remote control. The following operating modes are available: On/off (or switch-over) Alternating switch-over of the relay contacts. The outputs remain in the chosen switch state until another switching command is given. Timer After switching on one channel (output), it is automatically switched off (or switched over) after a programmable amount of time (1 second to 270 minutes, = 4h 30min). After the supply voltage has returned, for example, after a power outage, the remote switch automatically is set to the previous operating mode with switched-off relays. All programming is permanently stored in a EEPROM (up to 10 years). b) Programming channels (address assignment) Press the control button of the relevant channel on the device for at least 5 seconds. The control indicator/led of the respective channel starts to blink and the device is now in programming mode. Now press one of the buttons of the desired button combination on your remote control. When the remote switch receives the code, the control indicator/led stops blinking. The remote switch is now programmed to this remote control. If required, the programming can be replaced at any time by another button on the remote control, as well as by another remote control channel. To do this, proceed again as described above. This programming procedure can be repeated for all four switching channels when required. 11

12 c) Operation Remote control operation: Switching on: Briefly press the right button of the programmed button combination Switching off: Briefly press the left button of the programmed button combination Direct operation: Briefly press the channel button ( channel 1 to channel 4 ) on the remote switch. When consumers are switched on, the control indicator/led for this channel lights up on the remote switch. You are now able to use the basic functions of the remote switch. If you would like to expand your wireless control system or to apply further special functions of the remote switch, please read the following section. 8. Timer function The remote switch can also be used as a timer. Each channel has a separate timer. That means that, (when a switch time has been programmed), after every power-on command the respective channel stays on for the programmed time and then turns off when this time has elapsed. Each channel can be programmed with a switch-on time of between 1 second and 270 minutes (4h 30min). A remote control for the FS20 wireless control system is needed to program the timers. No operation on the remote switch itself is necessary for remote programming of the timer. In this way, you can re-program the timer using the remote control at any time. 12

13 a) Programming the timer Simultaneously press the two buttons of the button combination assigned to the desired switching channel on the remote control for one to three seconds (1s to 3s). The channel s control indicator/led on the remote switch blinks. The time measurement for the desired on-time begins. After the desired amount of time has expired press both buttons on the remote control again simultaneously for one to three seconds (1s to 3s). The timer duration for the selected switching channel is now programmed. Please note: If the time measurement is not ended manually, the timer programming mode will automatically be ended after 270 minutes (4 hours 30 min). The timer is then programmed for an on-time of 270 minutes (4 hours 30 min). b) Timer operation Starting the timer There are two different ways of doing this: Briefly press the control button of the programmed channel on the remote switch. or: Briefly press the right button of the assigned button combination on the remote control. Prematurely stopping the timer The channel of the remote switch socket and connected consumer loads can, of course, be switched-off manually at any time. There are two different ways of doing this: Briefly press the control button of the programmed channel on the remote switch. or: Briefly press the left button of the assigned button combination on the remote control. 13

14 Deleting the timer function Simultaneously press the button combination assigned to the desired switching channel on your remote control for one to three seconds (1s to 3s). The channel s control indicator/led on the remote switch blinks. Now briefly press the control button assigned to this channel on the remote switch. The timer programming mode is ended and the timer function is removed. The channel of the remote switch can now again be used in its normal manual switching operation. 14

15 9. Integrating the remote switch into the address system The remote switch can be integrated into the address system of the FS20 wireless control system via the latter s addressing scheme using single addresses, function groups, local and global masters. More detailed information on exactly how this address system is structured is provided in the user manual of each transmitter belonging to the FS20 wireless control system. a) Assigning further addresses/address types Up to 4 address types can be assigned to each switching channel of the remote switch within the address system of the FS20 wireless control system. This makes it possible, for example, to operate the remote switch remotely from several transmitters with the same or different address types. You can find more detailed information on the address system in the user manual of each remote control belonging to the FS20 wireless control system. To assign several address types to the remote switch, repeat the programming steps described in section 6. The remote switch can store up to four different addresses or address types. b) Deleting addresses and address types To delete a reception channel from the saved list, proceed as follows: Set the device to programming mode as described in section 7. b). Now press and hold (for at least 0.4 seconds) your remote control a button that has been assigned to the reception channel that you wish to delete. Afterwards, the programming mode is automatically abandoned and the corresponding channel is deleted from the remote switch s address list. 15

16 10. Resetting to the delivery state If necessary, you can delete the programs and settings that were previously saved in the remote switch, thus setting the remote switch back to its delivery state with all default settings. Each channel must be deleted separately. Advantage: You can, for example, only delete the settings for channel 1 whilst all the other channels stored values remain saved. To do so, proceed as follows: Press the control button of the relevant channel on the remote switch for at least 5 seconds. The channel s control indicator/led starts to blink and the device is now in programming mode. Briefly press the control button of the relevant channel on the device again. All assigned addresses and the timer mode with its programmed timer setting are deleted or deactivated. The control indicator/led goes out and the programming mode is ended. The remote switch no longer responds to any remote control command and must be re-programmed for new operations. 16

17 11. Handling Take note of all the safety instructions in this user manual. Due to its construction (protection class IP65) the product can be used outdoors, provided that the remote switch s casing is fully and correctly closed. The product must be assembled and wired properly and professionally. If the casing is removed, the product may only be used when the following requirements are fulfilled: The control panel cover is correctly screwed on to the lower casing with the three plastic screws. The product is used indoors in dry and clean conditions. In case the product is secured in an outdoor area and programming is to be carried out using the remote switch s internal buttons, the dry and clean ambient conditions still apply (for example, no rain, etc.). Caution! Life-threatening danger! Only people who are appropriately trained are permitted to carry out work on voltage-carrying parts. If you are not appropriately trained, please consult a qualified electrician who is authorised to carry out such work. Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The condensation that forms could damage the device! Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching it on. This may take several hours. Make sure that the insulation of the entire product is neither damaged nor destroyed. Normally the remote switch is installed only once and remains fixed at the installation location. Depending on the installation location, check occasionally that the product is in perfect condition. 17

18 Avoid the following adverse ambient conditions at the installation location or during transport: - Moisture or excessive air humidity (Note: Do not overstep the bounds of protection class IP65 even when the casing cover is properly closed at the installation location!) - Extreme cold or heat - Dust or flammable gases, vapours or solvents - Strong vibrations - Strong magnetic fields such as those found near machines or loudspeakers 12. Maintenance and cleaning This product does not require maintenance. Before cleaning, disconnect the remote switch as well as all the consumer loads from the supply voltage (all poles). Then clean the remote switch using a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. To remove heavier dirt, use a cloth which is slightly moistened with lukewarm water. Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents, as these may damage the surface of the plastic casing and its inscription. Afterwards, allow the remote switch to dry completely before connecting it and the consumer loads to the supply voltage. 13. Disposal When the product is no longer usable, dispose of it in accordance with the applicable statutory regulations. 18

19 14. Tips and notes Ranges and interference The FS20 wireless control system works in the 868MHz range, which is also used by other radio services. Therefore devices that operate on the same or neighbouring frequencies may restrict both its operation and its range. The specified range of up to 100m is the free-field range, which means the range with visual contact between the transmitter and receiver. In practice, however, walls, ceilings, etc. between the transmitter and the receiver may affect and reduce the range. Other causes of reduced ranges: All types of high-frequency interference Any buildings or vegetation Conductive metal parts that are located near the devices or within or near their transmission path, for example, radiators, metallised insulation glass windows, reinforced concrete ceilings, etc. Influence on the radiation pattern of antennas due to the distance from the transmitter or receiver to conductive surfaces or objects (also to human bodies or the ground) Broadband interference in urban areas that reduces the signal-to-noise ratio; the signal is no longer recognised due to this noise Interference radiation resulting from insufficiently shielded electronic devices, for example, operating computers or similar Please note: Do not position several radio receivers directly next to each other as these may interfere with each other (minimum distance 0.2m, we recommend 0.5m or more). 19

20 15. Quick reference guide a) Programming Press the channel button on the remote switch for at least 5 seconds. The relevant control indicator/led blinks. Press the desired channel button on the remote control; blinking stops. The switching channel is programmed to the channel button on the remote control. b) Operation Switch the consumer on and off using the remote control (left button off, right button on ) The consumer load can also be switched directly by using the channel button on the remote control (on-off-on, etc.). When the switching output is switched on, the relevant control indicator/led lights up on the remote switch. 16.
