Safety instructions
General information
Important information for:
Fitters / Electricians / Users
Please forward accordingly!
•Please keep the instructions safe!
•Only use in dry rooms.
•Only use unmodified original parts from the control unit manufacturer.
•Keep children away from control units.
6

•Observe all pertinent country-specific regulations.
•Dispose of exhausted batteries properly. Only replace batteries with the
identical type (see Technical data).
Caution
•Keep people out of the system’s range of travel.
•If the system is controlled by one or more transmitters, the sys-
tem’s range of travel must always be visible during operation.
•Device contains small parts that can be swallowed.
7

Intended use
The transmitter described in these instructions may only be used for operating suit-
able drives and control units with bidirectional KNX radio. You can operate either one
group or a number of groups of devices with this transmitter.
•Please note that radio-controlled systems may not be used in areas with a high
risk of interference (e.g. hospitals, airports).
•The remote control is intended solely for use with equipment and systems in
which malfunctions in the transmitter or receiver would not pose any risk to per-
sons, animals or property, or which contain safety devices to eliminate such
risks.
•The operator is not protected from interference from other telecommunications
systems and terminal equipment (e.g. even from radio-controlled systems
which are properly operated in the same frequency range).
•Only connect radio receivers to devices and systems approved by the manufac-
turer.
8

•Ensure that the control unit is not installed or operated close to
metal surfaces or magnetic fields.
•Radio-controlled systems transmitting on the same frequency
may cause reception interference.
•Note that the range of the radio signal is limited by legislation as
well as by design.

Wiring
Ensure that there is optimal radio reception.
Drive / dimmer connection with a 2-way changeover switch
(no 2-way changeover switch for roller shutters)
The assignment of the wires P1 and P2 according to the direction of
travel is dependant on how the drive is installed (mounted to the
right or to the left).

Programming transmitters in a B-Tronic device
or KNX RF compatible device from another
manufacturer
Put the receiver into programming mode.
Please find the appropriate description in the instructions for the receiver.
Set the function selection switch to the required position (P = drive, I = ON/OFF, R =
dimmer). Now press a button on the connected operator unit. Wait until the receiver
confirms programming.
Then set the function selection switch back to position "F".
The programming process is now complete.
15

Use in system network
You cannot make any settings (e.g., limit positions, etc.) to B-Tronic devices using
this transmitter. The transmitter can only be used for operation.
Operating drives
For the desired direction, press the relevant button on the operator unit for about 1
second.
For the STOP command, briefly press any button on the operator unit.
16

Operating dimmers
Press any button on the operator unit for about 1 second to switch the lights on.
The assignment of the buttons A and B depends on how the wires
P1 and P2 are connected to the operator unit.

Clearing transmitters from a B-Tronic device or
KNX RF compatible device from another
manufacturer
Put the receiver into programming mode.
Please find the appropriate description in the instructions for the receiver.
Set the function selection switch to the required position (P = drive, I = ON/OFF, R =
dimmer). Now press a button on the connected operator unit. Wait until the receiver
confirms clearing.
Then set the function selection switch back to position "F".
The clearing process is now complete.
