Function
The universal radio-control transmitter can be used to
extend an existing electrical installation by the possi-
bility of transmitting 230 V control commands by ra-
dio. The transmitter can be operated for switching,
dimming or blind/shutter control functions.
When mains voltage (AC 230 V~) is applied to inputs
(E1, E2), the universal radio-control transmitter trans-
mits radio telegrams which are evaluated by all radio-
control receivers.
For selection and indication of the mode of operation,
the device is equipped with a pushbutton cand an
LED d.
The universal radio-control transmitter has 4 modes
of operation:
Mode A: 2-channel dimming (toggling) (E1 and E2)
Mode B: 2-channel switching (E1 and E2)
Mode C: 1-channel dimming (E1/E2)
Mode D: 1-channel blind/shutter (E1/E2)
A)
Fitting
Install the universal radio-control transmitter din a
deep flushmounting box cbehind a flush-mounting
insert e(60 mm-deep mounting box recommended).
Important
When installed outside flush-mounting boxes, the de-
vice must be sufficiently protected against shock haz-
ards by installing it, for instance, in a surface-mounted
distribution box.
Antenna
For maximum transmission range, the antenna f
should be stretched out to full length and not be left
coiled up. Keep away as far as possible from large
metal surfaces such as metallic door frames.
Do not shorten or lengthen the antenna and do not
strip off the insulation.

Installation and adjustment
Depending on wiring and on the selected mode of
operation, the universal radio-control transmitter
transmits radio telegrams, e.g.:
„channel 1 = switch on“.
Connect the wires as follows:
E1: input 1 (grey)
E2: input 2 (brown)
N: N conductor (blue)
L: phase conductor (black)
C)
Modes of operation
The universal radio-control transmitter has 4 modes
of operation which can be selected or indicated with
pushbutton c. The modes are signalled by the LED
das follows:
A) 2-channel dimming, toggling (E1 and E2)
1 brief flashes per second for 5 s altogether
B) 2-channel switching (E1 and E2)
2 brief flash per second for 5 s altogether
C) 1- channel dimming (E1/E2)
3 brief flashes per second for 5 s altogether
D) 1- channel blind/shutter (E1/E2)
4 brief flashes per second for 5 s altogether
Indicating actual mode of operation
To indicate the actual mode of operation, depress
pushbutton cbriefly (< 0,5 s). The mode in which the
device is actually operating is then signalled by the
LED.
Changing the modes of operation
Depress pushbutton cfor at least 1 s. With each long
press of the button, the universal transmitter changes
between A, B, C and D.
Wait until signalling has ended before pressing the
pushbutton again.
D)
E)
Mode A: 2-channel dimming, toggling (E1 and E2)
For independent control of two radio-control dimming
actuators.
Connection of conventional pushbuttons (n.o. con-
tacts):
A press on the button switches over (toggles) the type
of telegram from the transmitter:
brief press (< 1s): switching on / off
long press (> 1 s): lamp brighter / darker

Important:
Switching over (toggling) of the telegram type (on/off,
brighter/darker) is effected in the transmitter. When a
receiver has been operated locally or by another
transmitter, it may therefore be necessary to actuate
the universal radio-contol transmitter twice in order to
obtain the desired reaction.
Mode B: 2-channel switching (E1 and E2)
For independent control of two radio-control switching
actuators.
Connection of conventional switches (n.o. contact):
The universal transmitter transmits switch-on tele-
grams when closed and switch-off telegrams when
opened (see fig. G).
G)
Connection of conventional pushbuttons (n.o. con-
tact):
The transmitter is in the special „doorbell“ mode and
transmits switch-on telegrams when closed and
switch-off telegrams when opened (see fig. H).
H)
Important:
This mode of operation is not suited for radio-control
pushbutton actuators.
Mode C: 1-channel dimming (E1/E2)
For operation of one radio-control dimming actuator.
Connection of conventional pushbuttons (n.o. con-
tacts):
Actuation: T1 < 1s: switch on
T1 > 1 s: lamp brighter
T2 < 1 s: switch off
T2 > 1 s: lamp darker
I)
Important:
A long press (> 1 s) of T2 when the load is off causes
suitable dimmers to switch on with their minimal
brightness (night light).
Mode D: 1-channel blind/shutter (E1/E2)
For controlling of a radio-control blind/shutter actua-
tor.
Connection of a blind/shutter switch (fig. J) or a blind/
shutter control insert (fig. K):
On closing of switch J1, the radio-control universal
transmitter transmits telegrams for raising / lowering
blinds and shutters. The blind/shutter stops when the
switch is opened.
J)
K)
Important:
The radio-control universal transmitter must not be
connected in parallel with blind/shutter motor.

Programming of radio-control receivers
A universal radio-control transmitter channel can be
programmed into an unlimited number of radio recei-
vers. Programming information is stored only in the
radio-control receiver.
During programming of a radio-control transmitter,
the sensitivty of the receivers is reduced to approx. 5
m. The distance between the receiver and the trans-
mitter to be programmed should therefore be bet-
ween 0.5 m and 5 m.
Procedure
1. Switch the radio-control receiver into the program-
ming mode (see „Radio-control receiver“ operating
instructions)
2. a) Programming of operating mode A, C or D
Actuate the connected pushbutton or switch for at
least 1 s.
2. b) Programming of operating mode B
The switching telegrams of operating mode B are
not suitable for programming. Set the universal
transmitter therefore at first to operating mode A.
Press or actuate the corresponding buttons or
switches for at least 1 s. Then go back to operating
mode B.
3. Switch the radio-control receiver back into the ope-
rating mode (see „Radio-control receiver“ operat-
ing instructions).
Clearing programmed channel
Reprogramming of the transmit channel to be cleared
in the same mode of operation deletes the assign-
ment stored in the radiocontrol receiver.
Radio Transmission
Radio transmission takes place on a non-exclu-
sive path. Therefore, interference cannot be ex-
cluded. This type of radio transmission is not
suitable for safety applications such as emergen-
cy stops or emergency calls.
The range of a radio-control system depends on
transmitter power, receiver characteristics, air humi-
dity, fitting height and building conditions. The figure
illustrates the penetration of building materials by ra-
dio waves:
Dry material Permeability
Timber, gypsum, gypsum-
plasterboards approx. 90 %
Brickwork, particle boards approx. 70 %
Reinforced concrete approx. 30 %
Metal, metal grating,
aluminium lamination approx. 10 %
Rain, snow approx. 0 - 40 %
