Start-up

5.1

Simple operating functions on the device

• Insert the wireless switch actuator with power metering into a
socket.
The device is immediately ready for operation and can be taught-in to a
HomeMatic CCU (or to other HomeMatic devices).
Via the channel button (A), connected loads can be controlled (switch
on and off) with a short button press.
Before being able to use and configure your device in the HomeMat-
ic system to control connected loads, the switch actuator has to be
taught-in first (see sec. „5.2 Teaching-in" on page 29).
5.2

Teaching-in

Please read this entire section before starting the teach-in
procedure.
To integrate the switch actuator with power metering into your HomeMat-
ic system and enable it to communicate with other HomeMatic devices
(e.g. HomeMatic Remote Control), you must teach it in first. You can
teach-in the switch actuator with power metering directly to other Home-
Matic devices or to the HomeMatic Central Control Unit
Direct device connections between the switch actuator and
other HomeMatic devices can be made only with the switching
channel (see sec. „5.2.1 Teaching-in directly in to HomeMatic
devices" on page 30). Connections with the measuring chan-
nel must be made via the CCU or the configuration adapter
(„5.2.2 Teaching-in to a HomeMatic Central Control Unit" on
page 31).
