4 General information about the HomeMatic system

This device is part of the HomeMatic home control system and works with the bidirectional BidCoS 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 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, the switch actuator has to be taught-in first (see sec. 5.2 Teaching-in on page 25).

5.2 Teaching-in

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

To integrate the switch actuator into your HomeMatic system and enable it to communicate with other HomeMatic devices (e.g. HomeMatic

Start-up

remote control), you must teach it in first. You can teach-in the switch actuator directly to other HomeMatic devices or to the HomeMatic Central Control Unit:

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.

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

• 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.

Start-up

After teaching-in, the device LED of the switch actuator will stop flashing.

After successfully teaching-in the device, it can be switched on and off e.g. by a 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 ac
tuator has to be taught-in to the HomeMatic Central Control Unit first. New devices are taught-in to the Central Control Unit via the Home
Matic 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.

Start-up

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.

• To activate teach-in mode, click "Start teach-in mode" in the next window.

• Teach-in mode remains activated for 60 seconds. An information

Start-up

box shows how much teach-in time remains.

• Meanwhile, please activate the teach-in mode of your switch actuator to teach-in as well. Therefore, press and hold the channel button (A) for at least 4 seconds. The device LED (B) will flash slowly to indicate that teach-in mode is active.

After a short time, the newly taught-in device will appear in the inbox of your software interface. The button, Inbox (x new devices) indicates how many new devices have been taught-in successfully
- 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 switch actuator to the HomeMatic Central Control Unit, it will be 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 individually adjust the switch on and off duration of the device as well as a delay time for switching connected devices on and off.

Operation

Restore factory 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. 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 Operation

After teaching-in and configuring the device, you can control the switch actuator e.g. with a connected remote control to switch on and off connected loads (see the following fig.).

7 Restore factory settings

The factory settings of the switch actuator can be restored manually. If you do this, you will lose all your settings.

To restore the factory settings, please proceed as follows:

• Press and hold down the channel button (A) for at least four seconds until the device LED (B) will slowly start flashing.
• Release the button again.

• Press and hold down the channel button (A) again for at least 4 seconds until the device LED (B) will quickly start flashing.
• Release the button again.
  The device LED stops flashing.
  The factory settings of the device are now restored.

8 Error codes and device LED feedback

8.1 Flash codes

Various actuator states are indicated by the device LED (B):

Flashing sequence	Meaning Solution
Slow flashing Teach-in	mode activated or stage before restoring the factory settings	/
Fast flashing The factory settings of the device will be restored.		/
1 x long, 1 x short flashing	Transmit limit (duty cycle) reached	please see sec. "8.3 Duty cycle" on page 32
1 x long, 2 x short flashing	Device defective Please use contact your specialist dealer.

8.2 Operational status display

The device LED (B) lights up permanently as soon as the switch actuator is switched on.

After configuring the switch actuator with the Central Control Unit or a programming tool, the device LED indicates other device states besides those described (e.g. switch on and off delay or duration).

8.3 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. The device LED will flash if an error is detected during this check (see sec. 8.1 Flash codes on page 32). 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 flashes slowly. 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, 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.
