Basics
How does the radio remote
control work?
The radio remote control consists of
a housing with a radio receiver for re-
ceiving the radio signal and a contactor
switch for switching the current.
A handheld transmitter is used for
contactless operation. With the hand-
held transmitter, the contactor switch
can connect or disconnect the flow
of current without contact and from a
distance (up to 270 metres). When the
START button on the handheld transmit-
ter is pressed, it searches for a frequen-
cy range for the best connection.
Once the best radio connection has
been found, the handheld transmitter
and radio receiver maintain permanent
contact. If this contact is broken for
any reason, a stop signal is automati-
cally activated for safety reasons and
the contactor switch disconnects the
power connection.
An antenna for receiving and transmit-
ting radio signals is installed on the
housing of the radio remote control. To
increase the radio range, this can be
replaced with an optimised antenna,
which provides a range of up to 530
metres.

13
BA 0304882 R00 2021-06
Components and their function
The radio receiver and the contac-
tor switch are accommodated in the
housing. The housing has protection
classes IP66/IP67/IP69.
The handheld transmitter provides
contactless control of the contactor
switch via the receiver. The connection
to the circuit is closed with the START
button and broken with the STOP but-
ton. The arrow keys have no function.
The antenna provides a good radio
connection up to 150 metres with ob-
stacles and up to 270 metres without
obstacles.
The protective plate protects the hous-
ing from mechanical stress and is used
for transport and mounting options.

The carrying handle, which is integrat-
ed into the protective plate, helps to
carry the radio remote control safely.
The suspension eyes offer the option
of mounting the radio remote control on
a surface.
The hook can be used to hang the ra-
dio remote control on our DI filter trolley
or in another suitable location.
The rubber feet protect against dirt
and provide slip resistance.
The connections connect to the
mains and the device to be started and
stopped.
The charging unit for the handheld
transmitter is needed to charge the
battery in the handheld transmitter.

Intended use
Here you will find the following information:
For what purposes may the FFS be used,
where may the FFS be used, who may use
the FFS?

16 BA 0304882 R00 2021-06
Intended use
The FFS radio remote control is for
STARTING and STOPPING devices in
the commercial sector by means of a
radio signal.
Improper and prohibited use
The FFS radio remote control must not
be tampered with. No devices may be
connected for which the required power
consumption exceeds the possible
power consumption of the radio remote
control.
Requirements of the system user
The user of the radio remote control is
in the commercial sector.
Operator: The operator must be in-
structed by the plant operator in the
assigned tasks and possible dangers in
case of improper conduct. The operator
may only carry out tasks that go beyond
normal operation if this is indicated in
this manual and the plant operator has
expressly instructed them to do so.
Qualified personnel: Due to their techni-
cal training, knowledge, experience and
familiarity with the relevant standards
and regulations, qualified personnel are
able to carry out the work assigned to
them, recognise possible dangers and
avoid risks independently.
The following groups of people are not
allowed to operate the radio remote
control:
�People with limited physical, sensory
or mental capacities
�Children and young people under
18 years of age
�Persons who have not been trained

�Space requirements for storage:
W 230 mm x L 140 mm x H 370 mm
�The following working area is
required: W 230 mm x L 140 mm x
H 370 mm
Specifications for power
connection
The power connection must have a fuse
rating of 230/400 volts and 16 amps.
In addition, the power connection must
have a residual current circuit breaker
(FI or RCD).

Where can the radio remote
control be used?
The housing of the radio remote control
is approved according to protection
class IP66/IP67/IP69. The housing is
therefore dust-proof, can be submerged
in water for short periods and can also
withstand a high-pressure water jet.
This allows the radio remote control to
be used both indoors and outdoors.
Radio connection range
The radio connection range depends on
the obstacles present in the radio path.
Range without obstacles:
�270 metres
Range with obstacles:
�150 metres
An antenna can be fitted to increase the
range as an option.
Range without obstacles:
�530 metres
Range with obstacles:
