General information
Fig. 1 EWFS Plug receiver lighting
The EWFS Plug receiver lighting enables the simple and
cost-effective retrofitting of a wireless remote control for
lighting equipment. This requires minor electrical work.
The plug receiver can receive move commands from
EWFS-compatible transmitters, e.g.
EWFS Hand-held transmitters or EWFS Timer.
Intended use
The EWFS Plug receiver lighting is an electronic device
for controlling lighting equipment. Any use other than the
purpose described in these instructions requires approval
from the manufacturer.
Safety instructions
ARNINGW
The electrical installation (assembly)/
dismantling must be performed by a certified
electrician in accordance with VDE 0100 or
the legal requirements and standards of the
country in which the device is being installed.
The electrician must observe the installation
instructions included with the electrical
devices supplied.
ARNINGW
If hazard-free operation cannot be assumed,
the device may not be commissioned or must
be decommissioned. This assumption is
justified if
the housing or connecting lines
appear damaged
if the device is no longer working.
ARNINGW
Switch off the supply voltage of the EWFS
Plug receiver when you perform activities on
products connected to the plug receiver or on
connected lighting equipment. Danger due to
sudden movements of the equipment or electric
shock.
AUTIONC
Never press the buttons on your transmitter
randomly without a line of sight to the sun shading
system. Children must not play with this product –
keep remote controls and transmitters out of the
reach of children!
Due to both the legal regulations for radio systems and
structural factors, the operating range of radio remote
controls is limited. Sufficient radio reception must be
ensured when planning the project. This is especially the
case where the radio signal has to pass through walls
and ceilings. The control should not be installed in the
immediate vicinity of metal components (steel beams,
reinforced concrete, fire doors).
 Therefore, check that the receiver is functioning
properly before the final installation.
Strong local transmitter systems (e.g. baby monitors or
neighbouring transmitters) can interfere with the reception.
 Switch the mains supply back on. The device is then
ready for operation.
Function
To switch on the light: If you are using an 8-channel
hand-held transmitter, select the correct channel using the
channel buttons. If you are using a 1-channel hand-held
transmitter, this step is not necessary. Press the B button
briefly: the lamp switches on.
To switch off the light:If you are using an 8-channel
hand-held transmitter, select the correct channel using the
channel buttons. If you are using a 1-channel hand-held
transmitter, this step is not necessary. Press and hold the
B button until the lamp switches off.
Symbols used
When the receiver is delivered, it does not "know" any
transmitters initially and therefore must learn to respond to the
correct transmitters. We refer to this process as "learning-in".
Explanation of symbols:
Power-up: In order to learn, you must electri-
cally isolate a receiver or a group of receivers,
either at the in-line circuit breaker or at the as-
sociated plug-in connector, and then reconnect
it again after approx. 5 seconds. (Power-up pro-
cedure.) Always perform a power-up procedure
when you see the in-line circuit breaker symbol.
The receiver is now in learn mode for approx.
one minute. The learn button on the transmitter
must be pressed during this time interval or the
receiver will exit the learn mode. Push the learn
button on your transmitter whenever you see
the learn button symbol.
The lamp lights up: After the learn button on
the transmitter is activated, the connected lamp
is switched on. Release the button immediately.
If you are operating a fluorescent lamp, release
the button as soon as the lamp first goes on.
Learning in the master channel
You can learn either a 1-channel transmitter or one
channel of an 8-channel transmitter into a receiver. With
an 8-channel transmitter, you simply need to make sure

that you first select the desired channel, as the following
example shows:
How to learn channel 1 of an 8-channel hand-held
transmitter into a receiver:
Put receiver in learn mode:
Perform the power-up pro-
cedure on the receiver.
Learn in the transmitter:
Take the transmitter, select
channel 1, press and hold
the learn button, the lamp
lights up, release the button.
Result:The receiver can now be operated with channel 1
of the transmitter.
Building a group
You would like to operate two lamps with an 8-channel
hand-held transmitter (I) as follows:
Channel1 controls lamp1 (master channel)
Channel2 controls lamp2 (master channel)

Channel3 controls both lamps together (auxiliary channel).

Fig. 2 Building a group
1st step: Learn in the master channel
One master channel must be learned into each receiver
before you can build a group. As described in the section
"Learning in the master channel", learn in channel 1 on
receiver 1 as a master channel and channel 2 on receiver
2 as a master channel.
If this is not possible because the power-up pro-
cedure cannot be performed separately for the
receivers, the master channels must be learned in
by means of "smart learning". For this purpose the
"EWFS Applications brochure" is available at:
https://warema.com/media/866089.pdf.
2nd step: Learn in the auxiliary channel
You can now operate the lamps separately, and each
learned channel is a master channel in the respective
receiver. If the learn button is pushed with this master
channel, the learn mode can be started and an auxiliary
channel learned into the respective receiver even without
the power-up procedure. If the same auxiliary channel, e.g.
channel 3, is now learned into each receiver, both lamps
can later be operated as a group with channel 3 but they
can still be operated separately via the master channels 1
and 2. The next step is to learn in the auxiliary channels:
Learning lamp 1 into channel 3
Place receiver1 into learn
mode: Select channel1,
press and hold the learn
button, lamp1 lights up,
release the button.
Learning in channel 3 as the
auxiliary channel: Select
channel 3. Press and hold
the learn button, lamp 1
lights up, release the button.
Channel 3 is now an auxilia-
ry channel for lamp 1.

Result:Lamp1 now can also be operated with channel3.
Learning lamp 2 into channel 3
Place receiver2 into learn
mode: Select channel2,
press and hold the learn
button, lamp2 lights up,
release the button.
Learn in channel3 as an aux-
iliary channel: Select chan-
nel3, press and hold the
learn button, lamp2 lights
up, release the button.
Channel 3 is now an auxil-
iary channel for lamp 2.
Close learn mode: Select
channel2, press button "B".
Result:Lamp2 now can also be operated with channel3.
Deleting an auxiliary channel
You can delete all auxiliary channels learned into the
receiver if you made a mistake and want to start over
again. See the following example:

Fig. 3 Auxiliary channels in receiver 1 and 2 are to be deleted.
 Carry out the following operation steps in succession
with the respective master channel:
Delete all auxiliary channels
in receiver 1: Select master
channel 1, press the learn
button and hold it for at
least 20 seconds; the lamp
lights up twice and then
stays off!
End the procedure: Select
channel1, press button "B".
Delete all auxiliary channels
in receiver 2: Select channel
2, push the learn button
and hold it for at least 20
seconds; the lamp lights up
twice and then stays off!
End the procedure: Select
master channel 2, press
button "B".
Result:All auxiliary channels in receiver1 and receiver2
were deleted.
Only one master channel and another 15 auxiliary
channels can be learned into each receiver. The
master channel cannot be deleted but can only
be overwritten with a new channel. The auxiliary
channels are not deleted when you learn in a new
master channel.

Special functions
T he WAREMA EWFS also enables a wide range of special
functions. Should you require further information, your
specialist dealer will be pleased to give you the application
brochure.
The A, B and C function buttons
Function button B on the transmitter can be used to switch
the lamp on and off. Buttons A and C do not have a
function on this receiver.
Installation
 First switch off the mains supply at the upstream fuse.
 Locate the plug-in connection for the lighting system,
release the safety catch and disconnect the coupling
and connector. Next, connect these to the EWFS Plug
receiver and lock the plug-in connection with the safety
catch.
 The EWFS Plug receiver must not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
 Route the cable in such a way that water cannot flow
along the cable into the device.
 The EWFS Plug receiver must be mounted securely
(jolt-free mounting). If several EWFS Plug receivers are
in use, they must be mounted a minimum distance of
0.5m apart!
 When mounting the plug receiver behind a metal
panel: Mount the plug receiver such that the side of
the housing with the printed radio symbol faces the
opening of the panel. This ensures the best possible
radio reception.
Special mounting housings in different colours are
available for protection from the weather and for discrete
installation of the EWFS Plug receiver on the facade.
Due to its larger dimensions, the EWFS Plug recei-
ver does not fit into the installation housings with
article numbers 317381, 317382 und 317383.
Initial operation
