3 Function and device overview

With the Homematic Wireless Switch Actuator 1-channel with power metering, plug adapter you can switch on and off connected consumers (e.g. dryers) or other taught-in Homematic devices (e.g. dimming actuators) and measure the energy consumption of connected loads (up to 3680 Watt (16 A)).

The Homematic Wireless Switch Actuator with power metering combines two functionalities in one device:

• Switching connected loads
• Measuring voltage, current consumption, active power, frequency and energy consumption

Connected loads can be switched on and off via the switching channel. In addition, taught-in Homematic devices and connected loads can be switched on and off via the sensor channel.

Via the measuring channel, measured data such as voltage, current consumption, active power, frequency and energy consumption can be send to the Homematic Central Control Unit. Within the Homematic system, the measured values can be transmitted cyclically to the Homematic Central Control Unit and displayed graphically via the CCU2 user interface WebUI. Measuring data will not be stored in the device.

All functions of the device can be configured with a CCU2 via the Homematic user interface WebUI. The device can also be integrated into the Homematic system and configured via the Homematic Configuration Adapter.

4 General information about the Homematic system

This device is part of the Homematic home control system and works with the bidirectional Homematic wireless protocol.

All devices are delivered in a standard configuration. The functionality of the device can also be configured with a programming device and software. The additional functions that can be made available in this way and the supplementary functions provided by the Homematic system when it is combined with other components are described in the Homematic WebUI Manual.

All current technical documents and updates are provided in the download area at www.homematic.com.

5 Start-up

5.1 Simple operating functions on the device

- Insert the wireless switch actuator with power metering into a socket.

The device is immediately ready for operation and can be taught-in to a Homematic CCU (or to other Homematic devices).

Via the channel button (A), connected loads can be controlled (switch on and off) with a short button press.

Before being able to use and configure your device in the Homematic system to control connected loads, the switch actuator has to be taught-in first (see sec. „5.2 Teaching-in“ on page 29).

5.2 Teaching-in

Please read this entire section before starting the teach-in procedure.

To integrate the switch actuator with power metering into your Homematic system and enable it to communicate with other Homematic devices (e.g. Homematic Remote Control), you must teach it in first. You can teach-in the switch actuator with power metering directly to other Homematic devices or to the Homematic Central Control Unit

Direct device connections between the switch actuator and other Homematic devices can be made only with the switching channel (see sec. „5.2.1 Teaching-in directly in to Homematic devices“ on page 30). Connections with the measuring channel must be made via the CCU or the configuration adapter („5.2.2 Teaching-in to a Homematic Central Control Unit“ on page 31).

5.2.1 Teaching-in directly in to Homematic devices

If you want to teach-in the switch actuator to one or more Homematic devices, the teach-in mode of both devices has to be activated first. To do this, proceed as follows:

During teach-in, please make sure you maintain a distance of at least 50 cm between the devices.

Activate the teach-in mode of your switch actuator with power metering.

- Therefore, press and hold the channel button (A) for at least 4 seconds. The device LED (B) will slowly flash orange to indicate that teach-in mode is active. The teach-in time is 20 seconds.

> 4 s

- Now put the device you wish to teach-in to the switch actuator (e.g. Homematic Remote Control, see the following fig.) into teach-in mode. Remove the battery compartment cover and press the teach-in button briefly using a pointed object.

If teaching-in was successful, the device LED (B) of the switch actuator will flash green for one second. If teaching-in failed, the device LED will light up green for two seconds. In this case, please try again.

After successfully teaching-in the device you can switch on and off connected loads e.g. with the Homematic Remote Control

If no teach-in operations are carried out, teach-in mode is exited automatically after 20 seconds. If other devices are also in teach-in mode, they will be taught-in.

5.2.2 Teaching-in to a Homematic Central Control Unit Your device can be conveniently

• controlled and configured,
- connected directly to other devices or
• used in Central Control Unit programs

by using the Homematic software "WebUI". Therefore, your switch actuator has to be taught-in to the Homematic Central Control Unit first. New devices are taught-in to the Central Control Unit via the Homematic „WebUI“.

As soon as a device has been taught-in to a Central Control Unit, it can only be connected to other components via this unit.

Each device can only be taught-in to one Central Control Unit.

During teach-in, please make sure you maintain a distance of at least 50 cm between the Homematic devices and the Central Control Unit.

To teach-in your device to the Central Control Unit, proceed as follows:

- Open the "WebUI" user interface in your browser. Click the "Teach-in devices" button on the right-hand side of the screen.

• If required, you can teach-in additional devices by repeating the steps described above for each device.
• Now configure the newly taught-in devices in the inbox as described in section „Configuring newly taught-in devices“.

Configuring newly taught-in devices

Once you have taught-in your device to the Homematic Central Control Unit, it is moved to the inbox. Here, you must configure the device and its associated channels in order to make them available for operating and configuration tasks. Give the device a name and assign the device/channels to a room. You can also make individual parameter settings.

Now you can use the „WebUI“ user interface to control your device, configure it, connect it directly to other devices, or use it in central control unit programs to display the data measured. Please refer to the Homematic WebUI Manual for more details (you can find this in the „Downloads“ area of the website www.homematic.com).

6 Conditional switching

With the function “Conditional switching”, connected consumers or other Homematic devices can be switched depending on a defined condition.

Example: You have connected your dryer in the cellar with the switching actuator and want to receive an audio signal that will let you know when the dryer is finished. Therefore, you can connect the switch actuator with power metering to a Homematic Wireless MP3 Chime via the CCU:

As soon as the dryer will consume e.g. less than 100 W it is supposed to be switched off. An audio signal shall sound via the MP3 wireless chime at the same time. If value falls below the set power threshold (e.g. 100 W) the switch actuator with power metering sends a conditional switching command to the Wireless MP3 Chime and the measured values of

the dryer to the Central Control Unit. The chime will play the desired signal and you will know that your dryer has finished running.

1 x long, 1 x short red flashing	Duty cycle reached	s. sec. „8.2 Duty cycle“ on page 37
1 x long, 2 x short red flashing	Device defective Please contact your retailer.

8.2 Duty cycle

The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.

In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.

During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However,

repeated and wireless-intensive teach-in processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long and one short red flash of the device LED, and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

9 Behaviour after power recovery

After the device has been inserted to a socket or after power recovery the switch actuator performs a self-test/restart (approx. 2 seconds). The device LED flashes red, green and orange briefly (LED test display). The device LED will flash if an error is detected during this check (see sec. „8.1 Flash codes“ auf Seite 36). This is repeated continuously and the device does not perform its function.

If the test is completed without errors, the switch actuator transmits a wireless telegram containing its status information. To prevent all Homematic actuators from transmitting at the same time when power is recovered (after a mains power failure or a disconnection, for example), there is a random delay before the switch actuator transmits. During this time, the device LED slowly flashes orange. If the delay is very short, this flashing may be almost imperceptible.

10 Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any repairs. Clean the product using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. You may dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm water in order to remove more stubborn marks. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

11 General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

If “secure transmission” (AES) is activated for the switch actuator with power metering, this implies:

• increased volume of communication traffic
• actuator groups are unable to execute commands simultaneously. Please refer to the Homematic WebUI Manual at www.homematic.com for further information on secured operation.

eQ-3 AG hereby declares that this device complies with the essential requirements and other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can find the full declaration of conformity at www.homematic.com.
