Berker 177 09 Service manual

Radio signal amplifier surface-mounted
Order-No. : 177 09
Operation- and
Assembly Instructions
1 Safety instructions
Electrical equipment may only be installed and fitted by electrically skilled persons.
Failure to observe the instructions may cause damage to the device and result in fire and
other hazards.
The radio communication takes place via a non-exclusively available transmission path,
and is therefore not suitable for safety-related applications, such as emergency stop and
emergency call.
Do not shorten, extend or strip the antenna. Device can be damaged.
These instructions are an integral part of the product, and must remain with the end
customer.

System information
By statute, the transmitting power, the reception characteristics and the antenna cannot be
changed.
The device may be operated in all EU and EFTA countries.
The declaration of conformity can be viewed on our website.
The range of a radio system from the transmitter to the receiver depends on various
circumstances.

The range of the system can be optimised by selecting the optimal installation location, taking
into account the structural circumstances.
Figure 2: Reduced range due to structural obstacles
Example of penetration of various materials:
Material Penetration
Wood, Plaster, Plasterboard approx. 90%
Brick, Chipboard approx. 70%
Reinforced concrete approx. 30%
Metal, Metal grid approx. 10%
Rain, Snow approx. 1-40%
Intended use
- Device for receiving and repeating radio telegrams
- Extending the range of radio transmitters
- Surface-mounted

- Max. distance between transmitter and repeater and repeater and receiver 100 m
- Several repeaters can be installed in a single system, e.g. two transmitters A + B transmit
to a single actuator C (Figure 3)
- Indication of the operating states via 2 LEDs:
Red LED lights up briefly: receiving a telegram
Green and red LEDs light up briefly: a taught telegram is being relayed
Red LED flashes continuously: repeater is in programming mode
Figure 4
i Cascading of repeaters is not possible, i.e. telegrams transmitted by a repeater will not be
repeated by another repeater (Figure 4).
4 Information for electrically skilled persons
4.1 Fitting and electrical connection
Mounting and connecting the device
DANGER!
Electrical shock when live parts are touched.
Electrical shocks can be fatal.
Before working on the device, disconnect the power supply and cover up live
parts in the working environment.
Protection rating IP 54 or IP 20, depending on the type of installation:
IP 54 = fixed connection with NYM-J 3x1.5 cable and antenna not routed out of the device.
IP 20 = connection with supplied mains cable and/or antenna routed out of the device.
Maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m from metal surfaces and electrical devices, e.g. microwave
ovens, hi-fi and TV systems, electronic ballasts or transformers.
Mount repeater as close as possible to the middle of the desired transmission path.
o Slacken screws (5) and remove housing lid (4).
The TOP label on the rear of the housing has to be at the top.
If the repeater is intended to amplify the radio telegrams of a stationary transmitter, the teaching
procedure for the radio transmitter should be performed before installation (see Commissioning
chapter).

Figure 5
o Fasten repeater with 2 screws (6).
o Break out cable entry (10) and insert mains cable (9).
o Connect mains cable to the repeater.
o Teach transmitter into repeater (see Commissioning chapter).
o Fasten housing lid with screws.
Routing the antenna out of the housing
i Only permitted with protection rating IP 20.
If the radio reception capability of the repeater is not sufficient, it can be improved by routing out
the antenna that is rolled up in the device.
o Slacken screws (5) and remove housing lid (4).
o Break out cable entry (7).
o Route antenna (8) out.
o Fasten housing lid with screws.
4.2 Commissioning
Teaching a radio transmitter
In order for the repeater to transmit the radio telegram of a transmitter, this transmitter has to be
taught into the repeater.
While a transmitter is being taught the range of the repeater is reduced to approx. 5 m. The
distance between the repeater and the transmitter being taught should therefore be between
0.5 m and 5 m.
o Turn Prog switch (11) to the ON position (Figure 5).
The red Prog LED (2) flashes (Figure 1).
o Trigger teach telegram on radio transmitter (see instructions for radio transmitter).
The radio transmitter has been taught. The green and red LEDs light up as an
acknowledgement.
i When the radio transmitter is taught, all of the channels that are present, the All On, All Off
and the light scene buttons are also taught.
o Turn Prog switch (11) to the OFF position.
Both LEDs go out.

Deleting radio transmitters
o Teach-in again the radio transmitter to be deleted.
The red LED lights up to confirm that a radio transmitter has been deleted.
5 Appendix
The symbol confirms the conformity of the product to the relevant guidelines.
5.1 Technical data
Rated voltage AC 230 V ~
Mains frequency 50 / 60 Hz
Ambient temperature -20 ... +55 °C
Protection rating IP 20 / IP 54
Connection cable 1.5 m
Dimensions W×H×D 110×94×38 mm
Teachable radio transmitter max. 60
Carrier frequency 433.42 MHz (ASK)
Transmitting range in free field typical 100 m

5.2 Troubleshooting
Radio receiver does not respond, or only sometimes.
Cause 1: Radio range exceeded. Structural obstacles reduce the range.
Check routing of antenna. Laying the antenna stretched out increases the range (see
chapter Routing the antenna out of the housing).
Cause 2: Incorrect switch setting Prog (11).
Turn Prog switch to the OFF position.
5.3 Warranty
We reserve the right to make technical and formal changes to the product in the interest of
technical progress.
Our products are under guarantee within the scope of the statutory provisions.
