4.4 Basic safety instructions
Observe all warnings and notes in these Fitting and Operating
Instructions when fitting, programming and using the radio
switch. Always keep these Fitting and Operating Instructions
near the radio switch.
To prevent danger to life and limb, the following safety
instructions must be observed:
4.4.1 Danger to life
Do not use the radio switch for doors with anti-panic
function, such as escape doors, for which a knob cylinder is
not permitted. Otherwise people may not be able to open
the door in emergencies and may be injured or killed.
Only use the radio switch for door locks for which knob
systems are permitted. In case of doubt, please contact the
manufacturer of the door or the door lock and satisfy
yourself that the radio switch is suitable for your door
system.
4.4.2 Danger of explosion
Live parts of the radio switch may cause an explosion. Do not
use the radio switch in potentially explosive atmospheres.
4.4.3 Danger of suffocation
Never allow children to play with packaging material and/or
plastic bags. There is a risk that children pull them over their
head and suffocate.
4.4.4 Danger of poisoning
Always keep the radio switch out of reach of children. There is
a risk that children swallow small parts such as batteries or
screws.

For your safety

4.4.5 Danger of property damage
To prevent property damage, the following safety instructions
should be observed:
Always have repairs performed by properly qualified
personnel.
Only use accessories and spare parts recommended by
CEStronics.
Do not use any drilling machines or cordless screwdrivers
when fastening the radio switch.
Only use the proper tools to open the locking device.
When fitting the locking device, make sure that the lock and
the plate/rose are in a perfect condition. Malfunctions of the
lock may impair the functioning of the locking device.
Make sure that the cylinder can be inserted through the
profile cylinder hole of the plate/rose and the lock without
jamming and without using force during the installation. If
this is not possible, align lock and plate/rose so as to
prevent jamming and/or bending of the locking cylinder
during its installation.
Do not use any lubricants or oils for the radio switch.
Do not drop the radio switch on the floor, on hard surfaces
or on hard objects.
Protect the electronic components of the radio switch
against water and other liquids.
The radio switch contains highly sensitive electronic parts
that may be damaged or destroyed through static charges.
Do not disassemble the radio switch in rooms with built up
static charge.
The inside knob of the locking cylinder/device may not be
used for outdoor application.

4.4.6 Danger through environmental conditions
Do not use the radio switch in corrosive atmospheres
(chlorine, ammonia, lime water).
Only use the radio switch in rooms in which the humidity
does not exceed 95 %.
Do not use the radio switch in rooms with a high level of
dust formation.
Do not use the radio switch near sources of heat.

5Introduction
5.1 Description
The radio switch is a simple, radio-frequency (RF) controlled
access organization system.
The radio switch comprises at least one OMEGA FLEX locking
cylinder or IES-shield by variant type /RF and one radio switch.
The electronic cylinder (locking device) can be controlled via
the radio switch from any existing access control system or
other devices that have a zero-potential switch as an enabling
element.
The radio switch evaluates the zero-potential switch and
enables the locking device via an AES encrypted RF signal.
The distance between the radio switch and the locking device
may be up to 10 m allowing a wide range of use of the devices
inside the building.
The radio switch was designed to allow incorporation in both
CES standard enclosures and existing devices of access control
systems.
The locking device comprises an RF transceiver and in addition
a Mifare reader and control unit so that in case of an
emergency, any Mifare Classic transponder may be used as a
key.
In case of a power failure or a failure of the access control
system, the user thus has a battery-operated locking device
with a Mifare transponder as an (emergency) key.
This means that the locking device can serve as an easily
installed replacement of electrical door openers or other actors
without requiring any wiring on the door.
Further applications are door intercoms, biometrical devices or
switching installations that permit a simple access control by
mobile phones.

Introduction
OMEGA FLEX Radio switch
Page 13 of 51
The device can be controlled via the radio switch from any
mobile or stationary device (such as GSM modems).
Up to four locking devices can be connected / registered with
one radio switch.
You can combine mechanical locking cylinders
and radio switches and/or access terminals in
one and the same locking system. In this case,
you can use transponder keys for both
mechanical and electronic locking cylinders from
CEStronics.
5.2 Scope of delivery
Before fitting and commissioning, please check the contents
of the package and the scope of delivery.
Check new devices for transport damage and inform your
dealer promptly if any damage is found.

5.4 Master media
Further functions can be set manually using master media
without the need for auxiliary means such as PC or
programming cable/RF stick. You can obtain master media from
your CEStronics specialist partner:
5.4.1 SYSTEM-MASTER
The SYSTEM-MASTER grants all authorizations on the highest
level. For each locking system, there is one and only one valid
SYSTEM-MASTER.
With the SYSTEM-MASTER, you can authorize up to five
PROGRAM-MASTERS. In its basic version, a locking system
requires one SYSTEM-MASTER and one PROGRAM-MASTER
each to program your locking devices.
5.4.2 PROGRAM-MASTER
The PROGRAM-MASTER is used to authorize and delete the
authorization of your locking media.

Introduction

OMEGA FLEX Radio switch
5.4.3 TIME-MASTER
With the TIME-MASTER, you set the opening time of the
locking device. During the opening time, your locking device
allows free access.
When the TIME-MASTER is detected, the locking device starts
beeping at one-second intervals until the TIME-MASTER is
removed out of the reading range.
The number of beeps determines the opening time.
To set the opening time of your locking devices with the TIME-
MASTER, proceed as follows:
Hold the TIME-MASTER in front of the locking device.
When the locking device detects the TIME-MASTER, it starts
beeping at one-second intervals. The number of beeps
determines the opening time.

Introduction
OMEGA FLEX Radio switch
Page 17 of 51
5.4.4 RF-INI-MASTER
The RF-INI-MASTER is used to switch your /NET locking devices
into online (RF) mode and into learning mode. Your locking
devices must be in this mode to establish a cooperation with
the radio switch.
To set the RF mode (Online mode) of your locking devices
with the RF-INI-MASTER, proceed as follows:
Keeping the RF INI MASTER about two seconds before your
locking device.
As a result, you get a short green signal and a short sound.
To put your locking device in the offline mode, proceed as
follows:
Keeping the RF INI master before the locking device, until
the following signaling is finished.
As a result, you get the green signal for about five seconds, as
well as an acoustic signal.

Introduction

OMEGA FLEX Radio switch
5.4.5 RF-TRACE-MASTER
The RF-TRACE-MASTER serves to verify the quality of the radio
frequency (RF) link between the Radio switch and your
authorized locking devices.
Hold the RF-TRACE-MASTER for about two seconds in front
of your locking device.
The function is performed immediately.
The RF-TRACE-MASTER triggers the following signals of your
locking devices:
Green LED of your OMEGA FLEX locking device flashes
twice: very strong RF link.
Green LED of your OMEGA FLEX locking device flashes once:
adequate RF link.

Introduction
OMEGA FLEX Radio switch
Page 19 of 51
Red and green LEDs flash alternately or simultaneously:
weak RF link.
Red LED of your OMEGA FLEX locking device flashes: No RF
link established and trouble-shooting required.

During the verification, the Radio switch emits the
same signals as the locking device.

5.4.6 EMERGENCY-KEY
The emergency key is a master key that is authorized to lock
your locking devices irrespective of your settings.
The emergency key gives you access at all times to every
locking device in your OMEGA FLEX system.
The emergency key is available as a key, a key fob and as an
identification card.
The emergency key always has top priority and can also be
used to open devices that have been set to blocking state.
NOTICE
An unauthorised person may be able to
acquire the emergency key and gain access.
Keep the emergency key in a safe place.
Prevent it getting into the hands of
unauthorised persons.
Emergency key authorisation is carried out manually via the
SYSTEM MASTER or by remote programming.
