Congratulations on purchasing your
»Acoustic universal transmitter«.
You have chosen a modern and reli-
able system. Please read these ope-
rating instructions thoroughly. They
tell you how to set up the system
correctly and explain all the system’s
features to you.
Checking the package contents
Please check if the following parts
are included in the package:
»Acoustic universal transmitter«
- 3 x battery type AAA
- Microphone cable
- Wall mount
- User manual
- Warranty card
If any parts are missing, please im-
mediately contact your dealer or the
manufacturer directly.
Safety instructions
– Prior to putting the device into op-
eration and using it, kindly read this
manual thoroughly and in full.
– Store this operating manual in a
safe place so that it is also acces-
sible for other users at any time.
– When using power tools always fol-
low the instructions of the manufac-
turer and wear suitable protective
equipment (e.g. protective gog-
gles).
- Kindly check before starting to drill
if there are any hidden electric ca-
bles and water pipes in the walls. In
case of doubt we recommend using
a a cable detector.
Functioning principle
The »Acoustic universal transmitter«
registers acoustic events by means
of a microphone and in consequence
generates radio signals. The radio si-
gnals are transmitted to all accordin-
gly programmed »signolux«-receivers
within range.
The receivers convert the radio sig-
nals into light-, vibration- or acoustic
signals (depending on the type of
receiver).
Setup
Inserting / replacing the batteries
To insert the 3 AAA-batteries, first re-
move the front cover in order to ac-
cess the battery compartment:
- Push the front plastic cover upwards.
A certain resistance, caused by the
latching, has to be overcome.
(Figure 3)

English 12
Figure 3
- The plastic cover can now be taken
off, the battery compartment has
become accessible.
- Insert the 3 AAA-batteries.
Ensure the correct polarity of the
batteries. (Figure 4)
Figure 4
- Attach the plastic cover:
Lay the cover onto the housing with
approx 1 cm distance to the lower
edge. (Figure 5)
Figure 5
- Push the cover downwards until
it clicks back onto the latching. The
front cover is now in place again.
Registering the transmitter with the
receivers
The »Acoustic universal transmitter«
has to be registered with every
»signolux«-receiver, which is later
supposed to react to it. By doing so,
the type of signalization is also defined.
To register the transmitter, press and
hold the according receiver’s function
key. The receiver’s event symbols
light up in sequence.
Release the function key as soon as
the desired symbol is lit up.
Now press the function key of the
»Acoustic universal transmitter«.
Wait for approx. 20 seconds and
the test the setup by pressing the
transmitter’s function key. The recei-
ver should now react, showing the
according symbol.
Up to 6 transmitters can be assigned
to a single symbol.

English 13
Installing the microphone cable
The »Acoustic universal transmitter«
is able to react to acoustic signals
(e.g. the ringing of a telephone or
doorbell) due to a connected micro-
phone. It then transmitts a radio signal
to all assigned »signolux«-receivers
within reach.
Use the adhesive ring to stick the mi-
crophone housing onto the acoustic
output grill of your doorbell / telepho-
ne or intercom system.
To do this, pull off the backing foil from
the adhesive ring on the microphone.
Plug the microphone cable into socket
#1 on the underside of the »Acoustic
universal transmitter« .
To ensure an ideal functioning of the
transmitter, please set the sensitivi-
ty control #1 in such a way that the
transmitter securely reacts to the ac-
cording acoustic signal.
Method:
- Set the sensitivity control #1 to the
least sensitive (extreme left, turn
counter-clockwise).
- Trigger the sound source and gra-
dually adjust the sensitivity control
(turn clockwise) until the transmitter
reacts to the sound.
Please note: A sensitivity setting, ad-
justed too high, may result in false
alarms.
Register the transmitter with the re-
ceivers, use a symbol matching the
event (telephone symbol for the tele-
phone etc).
Setup as a baby alarm
The »Acoustic universal transmitter«
can register a crying child and then
transmit an according signal to all
assigned »signolux«-receivers within
reach.
To do so, it is neccessary to aquire
the baby-microphone cable (Item no.
A-4901-0, available as accessory).
The included microphone cable can-
not be used for this purpose!
Mount the baby microphone in the
proximity of the child’s bed. A self-
adhesive velcro band is supplied for
this purpose.
For reasons of health and safety:
Make absolutely sure that the child
cannot reach the microphone and /
or the attached cable!
Plug the baby microphone cable into
socket #2 of the underside of the
»Acoustic universal transmitter«.
For a reliable transmission, the sensi-
tivity control should be set in such a
way that the transmitter reacts secu-
rely to the child’s crying.
Method:
- Set the sensitivity control #2 to the
most sensitive (extreme right, turn
clockwise).
- Should the transmitter react to neg-
legible noises (e.g. snoring, sighing,
sniffles), please decrease the sen-
sitivity in small steps (turn counter-
clockwise) until the transmitter stops
to react to the irrelevant sounds.

English 14
The exact setting needs to be found
by multiple changes to the sensitivity,
in order to match your specific requi-
rements.
Register the transmitter with the ac-
cording receivers. When setting, use
the baby symbol.
The baby alarm function can be con-
veniently switched on and off with the
baby alarm switch (Figure 1).
Please note:
Using the baby microphone re-
quires a higher amount of energy
from the transmitter. This causes
the batteries to suffer a shorter life
span, the stand-by time reduces
down to approx. 100 days per bat-
tery change.
Therefore we emphasize on using the
»signolux« power supply (Item no.
A-2690-0, available as accessory) if
the »Acoustic universal transmitter«
is used as a baby alarm.
Mounting the »signolux«-transmitter
Important note:
Kindly keep in mind that metal parts
and other building materials may in-
terfere with the transmission of the ra-
dio signal. As they can be either visi-
ble or hidden at the desired mounting
location you should always carry out
a functional test at the mounting loca-
tion before starting the mounting pro-
cess, and, if required, choose a diffe-
rent mounting or installation location if
the reception is not guaranteed.
The »signolux«-transmitter can be
mounted using the supplied wall
mount. To use it, fix the wall mount
onto a wall (or rafter, cupboard etc.)
When mounting onto a brick- or stone
wall, you may need a power drill and
stone bit to do so. Use the supplied
wall plugs in this case. Once fixed,
hang the »signolux« transmitter onto
the wall mount bracket.
