5. Description of functions
The‘FS20FMS’loadmonitor registerswhen aconnected electricconsumer
load (master) is turned on or off and, with this information, remotely controls
any number of switching receivers in the FS20 system, for example, an
‘FS20 ST’ wireless switch socket.
The switching direction can be selected. With the factory settings the ‘FS20
FMS’ transmits a power-on command when the connected consumer is
switched on and a power-off command when it is switched off.
Theoppositefunctioncanbeprogrammed(power-oncommand
when the consumer is turned off and power-off command
when it is turned on).
The triggering threshold can be adjusted in 7 steps, allowing consumer
loads to be monitored that consume power while in standby mode.
Due to the integration in the FS20 address and coding system, the data
transfer within the FS20 wireless control system is very secure and several
neighbouringsystems can be operated simultaneously (for instance, ifyour
neighbour uses the same system).
The ‘FS20 FMS’ can be operated using any conventional earthed socket
(230V~/50Hz). A consumer load with or without contact protection can be
plugged into the socket of the ‘FS20 FMS’. The consumer load can have a
maximum power consumption of up to (depending on the earthed socket!)
3680VA (230V~/16A).
The ‘FS20 FMS’ is operated and programmed using the button on its front
side, the status and program messages are displayed with an LED.

On the back side there is an earthed plug that must be plugged into a socket
of the public power supply system (230V~/50Hz).

10
7. Initial operation
• Plug the ‘FS20 FMS’ into a power socket with an earthing conductor
(public power supply 230V~/50Hz).
• Plug the device to be monitored (hereafter ‘master’ or ‘masterdevice’)
into the socket on the front side of the ‘FS20 FMS’.
• Do not turn the master device on yet!
• Install the desired radio receiver of the FS20 switching system accord-
ing to its installation and user manual.
Plug, for example, an ‘FS20ST’ switch socket into an earthed
socket and connect a consumer to it, for instance, a lamp.
Hereafter the receiver will be referred to as ‘slave’ or ‘slave device’.

11
8. Operation/basic function
Please note:
In the delivery state the receiver components of the FS20
wireless control system do not respond to remote control
commands. They must first be addressed according to the
instructions provided in the respective device’s user manual.
Afterwards, the factory settings of the ‘FS20 FMS’ are active. In this case
turning the master on or off causes a power-on or power-off command,
respectively, to be transmitted.
The ‘FS20 FMS’ has a factory set, random house code and a random
address code that are transmitted when a receiver is registered.
You only have to changes these if you plan to expand your system with
additional FS20 components, or if you wish to integrate the ‘FS20 FMS’ in
an existing FS20 wireless control system.
The master device must consume at least 20mA in order for it
to be recognised as a load by the ‘FS20 FMS’.
This means that the minimum power consumption of the
master device is around 4.6W.
For devices that consume less power, proper functioning
cannot be ensured.

12
a) Addressing the receiver
If you wish to use the basic settings of the ‘FS20 FMS’, proceed as follows
(otherwise see the sections near the end of this manual!):
• Place the corresponding receiver in the mode in which it can receive
addressing data (for a wireless switch socket ‘FS20 ST’ you must press
and hold its control button for more than 15 seconds, until the LED
begins to blink).
• Briefly press the control button of the ‘FS20 FMS’.
• Thereceiver (for instance,the‘FS20 ST’) confirms thereception(status
indicator stops blinking or goes out).
b) Manual switching
• Briefly pressing the button on the ‘FS20 FMS’ transmits a TOGGLE
command (switching back to the previous switch status).
• The slave device is turned on or off.
c) Switching via the master device
• Turn the master device on (power consumption of at least approx.
4.6W!). The ‘FS20 FMS’ recognises this and sends a switching com-
mand. The slave device turns on.
• Turn the master device off. The slave device also turns off.
You can now use the basic functions of the system. Please
also read the following sections, if you require an extended
system with several components or you wish to use the
additional functions.

13
9. Programming
To understand the following description of the programming
steps, you will need the accompanying flowchart.
The basic operating steps and displays are the same for all programming
steps. You are guided through the operating steps by three displays of the
control indicator (LED) of the ‘FS20 FMS’ that are always repeated.
The LED shows, for how long the button has already been pressed:
• Briefly pressing the button is indicated by the LED lighting up once
• If the button is held down for longer, the LED lights up for approx 2
seconds and then goes out.
• After 5 seconds the LED lights up again.
• After a total of 12 seconds the LED goes out again.
• In the setting modes the LED blinks periodically. The number of blinks
can always be found on the right behind the slash (/) in the flowchart.
In the following section an example of how to set up the device is described
in detail. The settings that follow are described in short-hand with respect
to the flowchart and are, for the most part, meant to be commentary for the
flowchart.
Please note the legend in the upper right-hand corner of the diagram. The
starting point is always the ‘operating mode’ in the upper left-hand corner.
From every set-up mode you can return to the operating mode by pressing
the button for more than 5 seconds without making any changes (escape
function).
If no button is pressed for 60 seconds, then you will also be
returned to the operating mode without any changes being
made.

14
a) Example
‘turning on the slave when the master is turned off’
With the factory settings the function ‘power-on command’ is active when
the master is turned on and the ‘power-off command’ when it is turned off.
If you desire the opposite functionality, for instance if the device is meant to
signal when the washing machine or dryer is done (power consumption
sinks), then you must make the following settings:
• Press the button on the ‘FS20 FMS’ for longer than 5 seconds.
The LED lights up for 2 seconds and then goes out. After 5 seconds the
LED lights up again. Release the button.
• The LED blinks in intervals, 1x each.
• The ‘FS20 FMS’ is now in the set-up mode for ‘preselection house
code mode’.
• Now press the control button briefly 3 times in a row. The LED blinks in
intervals, 4x each.
The‘FS20FMS’is nowinthe set-upmode ‘preselectionpositive flank
mode’.
• Press the button until the LED goes out (approx. 2 seconds). The ‘FS20
FMS’ is now in ‘positive flank mode’.
• The LED blinks in intervals, 1x each. The ‘FS20 FMS’ is now in
command mode ‘no command’.
• Now press the button 2 x. The LED blinks in intervals, 3x each.
The ‘FS20 FMS’ is in command mode ‘power-off command’.
• Press the button for 2 seconds.
After a total of 2 seconds, the LED goes out. Release the button.

15
• The new switching command is saved and the ‘FS20 FMS’ returns to its
normal operating mode.
• You must now repeat the procedure for the ‘negative flank mode’ and
in the command mode set the command ‘power-on command’.

16
b) Setting the commands
Please note:
If you accidentally press the button one time too many in a
given menu, you can return to the beginning of the menu (LED
blinks in intervals, 1x each) by repeatedly pressing the button
briefly.
1. Setting the ‘positive flank mode’
‘Positive flank mode’ means that the switching command for the slave
device is transmitted when the master device is turned on (when the power
consumption of the consumer load rises).
The factory setting here is ‘power-on command’. This can be changed as
follows:
• From the normal operating modepress the control button on the ‘FS20
FMS’ for 5 seconds (LED goes out after 2 seconds and lights up again
after 5 seconds).
• Release the button, the LED blinks in intervals, 1x each
• Press the button briefly 3x, the LED blinks in intervals, 4x each
• Press and hold the button for 2 seconds, LED goes out, release the
button, LED blinks in intervals, 1x each
• Now select one of the commands in the command mode (see ‘3. Setting
the command mode’ on the next page); press the button the corre-
sponding number of times (always pressing the button briefly).
2. Setting the ‘negative flank mode’
‘Negative flank mode’ means that the switching command
for the slave device is transmitted when the master device is turned off (see
example 9. a).

17
• From the normal operating mode press and hold the control button for
5 seconds (LED lights up for 2 seconds and goes out, after 5 seconds
the LED lights up again)
• Release the button, the LED blinks in intervals, 1x each
• Press the button briefly 4x, the LED blinks in intervals, 5x each
• Press and hold the button for 2 seconds, (LED goes out after 2
seconds), then release the button, LED blinks in intervals, 1x each
• Select the desired command (see ‘3. Setting the command mode’) with
the control button.
3. Setting the ‘command mode’
After the switching flank has been selected, which switching command is
sent to the slave device is set here.
•First set the desired flank mode according to point 1 or 2, if not already
done!
• Then select the corresponding command mode according to the follow-
ing description:
