The hand-held radio transmitter enables all the receivers, the universal radio-controlled dimmer and
the radio-controlled louvre blind actuator connected to the DALI ADVANCED central unit to be
remotely controlled.
Two independent radio channels (channel 1 and channel 2) are provided. Each channel has two
buttons (/\ and \/) (see Fig. A).
The hand-held transmitter sends a radio telegram whenever one of its buttons is pressed. The central
unit receives this telegram and then sends appropriate control commands via the DALI line to the
connected receivers (such as the control gear). The radio actuators (universal dimmer and louvre blind
actuator) also receive the radio telegrams and react to them depending on the functions that have
been programmed for them.
2. Programming in the DALI ADVANCED central unit
Before the central unit can understand a radio telegram from the hand-held transmitter it must "learn"
it.
The learning process ensures that the radio telegram is linked in the central unit with the required
function of the DALI receiver (e.g. the control gear).
Procedure:
1. Start the "Radio startup" programming mode on the manual programming unit (MPU). See the
operating instructions for the "Manual Programming Unit”).
2. Press the /\ or \/ button for the required channel until the MPU confirms that it has received the
signal. In the MPU, define the function that the channel is to perform (e.g. control of group 1).
3. Bring the radio startup process to an end on the MPU (see operating instructions for the
manual programming unit).
This completes the programming process.
Note: We also recommend that you label the hand-held transmitter with the device number indicated
on the MPU and enter this number in the documentation for the lighting system.

For information on how to train the radio actuators to recognise the hand-held transmitter, please see
the operating instructions for the universal radio-controlled dimmer and for the radio-controlled louvre
blind actuator.
Deleting channels:
Channels that have been programmed can be deleted in the "Untrain Channel" menu option on the
manual programming unit (see the operating instructions for the manual programming unit).
3. Operation
Each channel has two buttons (/\ and \/). Pressing on (/\) for no more than 1 second will switch the
lighting system on. Pressing on (\/) briefly will switch it off. Holding down (/\) for more than 1 second
will fade the lighting system up; holding down (\/) will fade it down.
When operating the louvre blind actuator, a short press will change the angle of the louvres, whereas
a long press will raise or lower the blinds.
Note: The maximum duration of transmission is 12 seconds, even if a button is held down for longer.
If the unit fails to achieve its usual range you should replace the battery.
4. Changing the battery
The hand-held transmitter operates on one CR 2032 lithium button cell (included).
Notes of risks and disposal:
Important: Keep batteries away from children. If a button cell is swallowed, seek medical
attention immediately.
The old battery should be removed immediately and disposed of properly.
Replace the battery with one of the same type.
Changing the battery
To avoid damaging the electronics through electrostatic discharge, you must comply with the safety
precautions for electrostatically sensitive devices when changing the battery.

Procedure for changing the battery:
1. Open the case of the hand-held transmitter by undoing the screw (Fig. B).
2. Remove the old battery from the battery compartment.
3. Insert the new battery. Make sure it is the right way round, (+ on top, see Fig. C)
4. Replace the cover and tighten the screw.
5. Press any button for about 1 second.
Key chain
A key chain is included with the hand-held transmitter. To fit the chain, proceed as follows:

1. Open the case of the hand-held transmitter by undoing the screw (Fig. B).
2. Carefully remove the semi-circular break-outs in the two sections
(Figs. D1 and D2).
3. Place the ring of the key chain over the screw dome (Fig. D2).
4. Replace the cover and tighten the screw.
5. Notes on radio operation
A non-exclusive transmission path is used for radio transmission, which means that interference
cannot be ruled out. Radio transmission is not suitable for safety applications, such as emergency
shutdown or calls to the emergency services. The range of the hand-held transmitter (up to 30 m in
the open) depends on the nature of the building:
Dry material Penetration
Wood, plaster, plasterboard approx. 90 %
Brick, MDF approx. 70 %
Reinforced concrete approx. 30 %
Metal, metal grating, aluminium
cladding
approx. 10 %
• This radio system may only be connected to other communication networks if this does not
