1. Prescribed use
The ‘FS20 TS’ telephone remote control functions exclusively as a remote control for the
different components of the ‘FS20’ wireless control system.
It is possible to activate a switching operation from any telephone connected to an analogue
telephone network (for example, ISDN connection via a telephone system).
Several different codes (PIN, answer delay, house code) prevent any unauthorised switching
operations.

5. Safety instructions
The product’s guarantee becomes invalid, if the product is damaged as
a result of the failure to observe these operating instructions! We do not
assume any liability for any resulting damages!
Nor do we assume liability for damage to property or personal injury
caused by improper use or failure to observe the safety instructions. In
such cases the product’s guarantee becomes invalid.
This product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.
Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although the product emits only
relatively weak radio signals, these may cause life-support systems to malfunction.
This may also be the case in other areas.
As switching operations provide no return information, there is no guarantee that all the
switched consumer loads really are ‘off’ or ‘on’. Please observe this, especially concerning
consumer loads whose unobserved or ‘false’, ‘off’ or ‘on’ state can lead to damages.

6. Notes on batteries/rechargeable batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around as they could be swallowed by
children or pets. In such a case, seek immediate medical care!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into
a fire. They might explode!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns, if they come
into contact with skin. Therefore, please make sure you use suitable protective gloves.
• Conventional batteries must not be recharged. There is the risk of fire and explosion!
• Make sure that the polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) is correct when inserting the batteries.
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (for example, when stored), remove the
inserted batteries to prevent the batteries from leaking and causing damage.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones.
Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
7. Inserting the battery, replacing the battery
• Remove the casing screw on the back of the telephone remote control.
• Insert three AA batteries with correct polarity into the battery compartment. Be careful of the
correct polarity, you will find some clear figures in the battery compartment.
Do not touch the electronic components in the inside of the telephone remote
control! Do not straighten any components, do not turn any setting controls!
• Put both casing parts together again, carefully tighten the casing screw.
• Test the batteries whenever possible. If you notice that no switching operation occurs or the
range diminishes, then you need to replace the old batteries with new ones. Make sure you
always replace the whole set of batteries!

8. Connecting
After inserting the batteries (see section 5. Inserting batteries, replacing the battery) connect
the registered jack (RJ) on the telephone remote control to the F plug on a telephone socket
using the supplied telephone connector cable.
For operation, the telephone remote control requires a free analogue telephone
connection (or an ISDN telephone system with optional analogue telephone
connection) or an automatic extension outlet (AWADo).
The device behaves just like a normal telephone when connected to the
telephone network. This must be noted when connecting to a telephone system
and during programming.
The remote control operation must be carried out via a Touch-Tone (DTMF)
telephone or other such telephone system. If no such telephone is available
(older models or in foreign countries), the switching commands can, alterna-
tively, be transmitted via a DTMF keypad. This provides the DTMF dial tone
over a small speaker to the telephone handset’s microphone; the telephone
remote control will now recognise the dial tone.
9. Programming
After inserting the batteries and connection to the telephone socket, the
device is set to programming mode.
This can only be exited when programming is complete.
Before this the device cannot be used!
Three entries are necessary within programming, which fulfil the following tasks:
a) Answer delay
Similar to an answering machine or a fax machine, which works in conjunction with a telephone
via the telephone connection, the telephone remote control can, when desired, first answer the
calls if, for example, an active telephone on the same connection isn’t picked up after a set
number of rings.
This, on the one hand, prevents the controller from immediately blocking every call on the line
and rendering any further calls impossible. On the other hand a certain amount of rings can
increase security against any manipulation by a third party.

8
You can, for example, set the device to only answer after 15 rings. Immediate
answering can also be programmed.
b) PIN
An up to 8-digit PIN can be programmed to protect against manipulation. The controller only
carries out any further commands after the PIN is entered.
It is also possible not to use a PIN, for example, if a switching command is to
be carried out very quickly.
For security reasons you should always use a PIN so that the caller doesn’t
accidentally activate a switching command.
c) House code & addressing
The house code, as well as the addressing system, determine the affiliation between the
telephone remote control and your wireless control system. It increases security against
manipulation and allows an interference-free, parallel operation of several wireless control
systems. All system transmitters must have the same house code, but can be addressed
differently according to purpose.
After inserting the batteries, the telephone remote control is assigned a random 8-digit house
code, address group 11 and subaddresses 11 to 32.
These code and address settings can, of course, be changed if necessary. In addition, read
the section ‘The FS20 address system’ and ‘Integration of the telephone remote control in the
address system’.
Please note:
A house code and address programming are usually unnecessary for a simple
remote switching system which works alone inside the transmission range.
The receiver is accordingly coded to the random or factory setting of the
telephone remote control.
Individual code programming only makes sense with an extensive system or
with several neighbouring systems.
In case you are planning an extension at a later stage, it may nevertheless be
an advantage to program a house code and address, even if only a few
components are available.

9
The ‘FS20’ modular wireless control system is actually not as easily operable
as a cheaper alternative, due to the programming options.
Through this, however, it doesn’t only give you increased security against
interferences, (perhaps your neighbour has the same system – if the house
code is different that poses no problem for the ‘FS20’ wireless control system),
but also more possibilities to integrate different receivers with different groups.
d) Programming the telephone remote control
Before you start programming you should note down the data to be entered. That makes sense
for several reasons:
• The data will be needed again for a later expansion of the wireless control system.
• If there is no data entry after 10 seconds, the telephone remote control automatically
disconnects for security reasons.
If you take too long to enter the data, the programming will not end correctly.
• Re-programming is necessary when replacing the batteries.
You can read about how to allocate addresses to the FS20 wireless control system in the
sections ‘The FS20 address system’ and ‘Integration of the telephone remote control into the
address system’.
Please note:
The connection can be immediately broken off at any time using the hash key
(#).
Proceed as follows to program the device:
• Call the telephone remote control via the telephone network or telephone system. It
answers immediately and gives out three short, high-pitched tones.
• Start the programming procedure with the asterisk key (*) on the telephone keypad.
Reception is then confirmed with a short, high-pitched signal tone.
• Set the answer delay. Type in a number between 0 and 15 using the telephone keypad.
This determines the number of ring tones after which the telephone remote control should
answer the call.

10
If there should be no answer delay, just type in zero (0) (or don’t type any
number keys at all).
Finalise the entry by typing the asterisk key (*).
Reception is then confirmed with a short, high-pitched signal tone.
• Now type in a PIN of up to 8 digits.
If the switching command should be carried out without PIN confirmation, don’t
type in any numbers.
Finalise the entry by typing the asterisk key (*).
Reception is then confirmed with a short, high-pitched signal tone.
• Now enter the desired house code or address.
You now have two options:
1. Using the factory setting
If you wish to use the random or factory set codes as a house code and for
addressing, you can end the programming now by hanging up the phone or
pressing the hash key (#).
2. Using personal settings
If an individual code/address should be used, enter the code/address you have
allocated to your wireless control system (or you wish to allocate, in case you
have not yet installed further remote transmitters in the system) after the signal
tone sounds. Programming can be ended at any time by pressing the hash key
(#) or hanging up the phone.
• Now enter an 8-digit house code using the numbers 1 to 4.
Example: 13244134
Confirm by pressing the asterisk key (*).
• After this comes the 2-digit address group entry using numbers 1 to 4.
Example: 12
Confirm by pressing the asterisk key (*).
