8 Troubleshooting

8.1 Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (A) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The reason for the failed transmission may be radio interference (see "11 General information about radio operation" on page 30). This may be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockage, etc.).
• Receiver is faulty.

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 IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.

During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing 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 three slow red flashes 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).

10 Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any repairs.

Clean the device using a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm water 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 transmission range within buildings can differ significantly from that available in open space. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity play an important role, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Straße 29, 26789 Leer, Germany hereby declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP-MIOB is compliant with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity can be found at www.homematic-ip.com
