This achieves even thermal flow and a continuous heat output. In isolated cases, replacing conventional with mo- torised drives may cause flow noise at the heating manifold if the pump pressure has been set too high and the valves are only slightly open. You can eliminate this by changing the pump set- tings or adapting the floor heating controller parameters. 5 General system information This device is part of the HomematicIP Smart Home system and commu- nicates via the HomematicIP wire- less protocol.

11.1 Command not confirmed
If at least one receiver does not con- firm 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 „14 General infor- mation about radio operation“ on page 40). This may be caused by the fol- lowing:
- Receiver cannot be reached.
- Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of de- vices 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 sec- onds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. HomematicIP devices are de- signed and produced with 100% con- formity 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 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).38 Troubleshooting

The device will perform a restart. 13 Maintenance and cleaning The device does not require you to carry out any maintenance other than replacing the battery when necessary. Leave any main- tenance or repair to a specialist. Clean the device using a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. You may damp- en 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. 14 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 oper- ations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices. The transmission range within buildings can dier 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 de- clares that the radio equipment type HomematicIP HmIP-FALMOT-C12 is compliant with Directive 2014/53/EU.
