Application and function
The TOUCH DIM RMC handheld transmitter enables a wireless remote control of up to 4 luminaire
groups equipped with OSRAM ECG with Touch DIM function. The Touch DIM RC module receives
radio telegrams from radio transmitters and converts them into Touch DIM signals. The transmitters
are based on induction technology and generate the necessary transmission energy directly when
they are pressed. There is no need for any batteries and the components require no maintenance.
Safety and installation instructions
•The relevant safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.
Using the equipment for any purpose other than its intended use may lead to
damage or destruction.

Start- up and operation
Learning the handheld transmitters
Touch DIM RMC unit provides four push buttons, operating as two pairs (button 1 + 2 and 3 + 4).
Each pair corresponds with the two channels of a Touch DIM receiver. Thus two Touch DIM RC
modules with two channels may be controlled individually by the RMC.
Before an ECG connected to a Touch DIM RC module can be controlled, the relevant radio
transmitter has to be learned to the receiver.
Hold down the button marked “press to activate learn mode” on the receiver with a suitable tool (such
as an insulated screwdriver) until the “Learn mode active” LED starts to flash. Alternatively, this learn
mode can be activated by an external switch (make contact) connected to the “Learn” terminals.
Now press one of the buttons of a pair on the RMC unit that should be learned. On receipt of a radio
telegram, the LED lights up for 4 seconds, then goes out for a further 4 seconds and then continues
to flash to confirm that it has been successfully learned. While the LED is flashing further wall
transmitters can be learned.
In each case, both channels belonging together (buttons 1 + 2 or 3 + 4) of a RMC are learned so that
ECG connected to Ch1 and Ch2 (i.e. Group 1 and Group 2 of a receiver module) can be operated.
Îbutton 1 controls Ch1, thereby button 2 automatically controls Ch2 of the first receiver
Îbutton 3 controls Ch1, thereby button 4 automatically controls Ch2 of the second receiver
Therefore there is no need to learn the second transmitter channel of a pair separately.
The learn mode can be terminated by pressing the “press to activate learn mode” button again or with
an external switch connected to the “Learn” terminals. The learn mode is automatically terminated if a
wall transmitter has not been operated for 30 seconds.
Unlearning / cancelling transmitters
Radio transmitters that have already been learned can be easily “unlearned”.
This is also done through the 'learn mode'. Hold down the button marked “press to activate learn
mode” on the receiver with a suitable tool (such as an insulated screwdriver) until the “Learn mode
active” LED starts to flash. Alternatively, this learn mode can be activated by an external switch
(make contact) connected to the “Learn” terminals.
Now operate the RMC to be cancelled. When a radio telegram is received the LED goes out for 4
seconds and then continues to flash to confirm that the cancel process has been successfully
completed. While the LED is flashing further wall transmitters can be cancelled.
In each case, both channels belonging together (buttons 1 + 2 or 3 + 4) of a RMC are unlearned.
There is therefore no need to unlearned the second channel of a pair separately.
The learn mode can be terminated as described above.
Note:
The learning (and unlearning) mode is indicated by the lamps slowly fading u and down in
rhythm with the flashing LED. During the learn mode the sensitivity of the receiver module is
reduced so that neighbouring transmitters are not learned or unlearned by mistake. It may
therefore be necessary to bring the radio transmitter closer to the receiver to ensure
successful learning or unlearning.

Start- up and operation
Operation
Touch DIM RMC unit provides four push buttons, operating as two pairs (button 1 + 2 and 3 + 4).
Each pair corresponds with the two channels of a Touch DIM receiver. Thus two Touch DIM RC
modules with two channels may be controlled individually by the handheld RMC.
Therefore four luminaire groups (Group 1 connected to Ch1, Group 2 connected to Ch2 of the first
Touch DIM RC module, Group 3 connected to Ch1, Group 4 connected to Ch2 of the second Touch
DIM RC module) can be operated independently of each other.
Pressing briefly on one of the buttons on the handheld transmitter switches the luminaire group
connected to the relevant channel on or off. Holding down the button will fade the lighting either up or
down. The direction changes each time the button is pressed. If the lighting system is off and the
button in held down the luminaires will come on at the minimum dimmer setting and start to fade up.
A double click (= two subsequent short presses) stores the current dimming level as switch on value.
As an option, the luminaires connected to the receiver can be operated with external switches (make
contacts) connected to terminals T1 or T2. The switch at T1 operates Ch1, and the switch at T2
operates Ch2.
Note:
All the Touch DIM/Touch DIM Sensor functions of the OSRAM control gear can be accessed.

Notes on radio operation
The position of the remote control unit and the installation site for receivers, the structure of the building
and the building materials all have a major impact on the transmission range. The type and number of
obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver, sources of interference and signal reflections may
reduce the ranges given below quite considerably. If you are in any doubt you should test the
transmission range before installing the equipment.
The following transmission ranges are given as guide values:
•In the open air: approx. 300m
•Factories: approx. 100m
•Passageways and corridors: approx. 50m
•Rooms with wooden or plasterboard walls: approx. 30m, penetration of up to 7 walls
•Rooms with brick or breezeblock walls: approx. 20m, penetration of up to 3 walls
•Rooms with reinforced concrete walls: approx. 10m, penetration of one wall

Troubleshooting
The luminaire is not working. Possible causes:
•There is no power.
Check the power connections.
•The lamps are faulty.
Replace them.
•The luminaire has been switched off by the transmitter.
Switch the luminaire on.
The luminaire is not reacting as expected to switch operations. Possible cause:
•The radio transmitter has not been learned.
Learn the transmitter as described in the Start-up section.
•The transmitter is too far away from the receiver module.
Reduce the distance between the transmitter and the receiver.
•The switch is being pressed too long.
Please note: Hold down the switch to change the brightness only until the luminaire reaches the
brightness level you want. For all other functions, just briefly press the switch.
