General information on radio operation

The radio transmission is on a non-exclusive transmission path
which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring.
Other interfering sources can be caused by switching operations,
electrical motors or defective electrical devices.
The range of transmission within buildings can greatly
deviate from open air distances. Besides the transmitting
power and the reception characteristics of the receiver,
environmental influences such as humidity in the vicinity
and local structures also play an important role.
If „secure transmission" (AES) is activated for the actuator,
this implies:
• increased communication volume,
• actuator groups are unable to execute commands simultane-
ously.
• dimming via HomeMatic remote controls is only possible with
reduced speed and
• dimming with more than one device per transmit channel/but-
ton pair is no longer possible.
For further information about secure transmission (AES) please
refer to the HomeMatic WebUI manual, available for download at
www.homematic.com.
Hereby eQ-3 AG, declares that this device conforms with the essen-
tial requirements and other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/
EC. The full declaration of conformity is provided under

Start up

6.1

Simple operating functions on the device

Via the channel button (B), the actuator can be operated immediate-
ly and connected loads can be switched on and off (no teaching-in
required).
Only the brief button press is used for operation. The longer button
press (longer than 4 seconds) switches the actuator to teach mode.
6.2

Teaching-in

Please read this entire section before starting the teach-in
procedure.
Before being able to use your device with QIVICON, it has to
be taught-in to your QIVICON Home Base. Therefore, please
log-in to „My QIVICON" at www.qivicon.com/login. There,
please select „Add device" and follow the instructions.
To integrate the actuator into your HomeMatic system and enable
it to communicate with other HomeMatic devices (e.g. HomeMatic
Window Contact), you must teach it in first. You can teach-in the
actuator directly to other HomeMatic devices or to the HomeMatic
Central Control Unit:
6.2.1

Teaching-in to HomeMatic devices

If you would like to teach-in the actuator to one or more HomeMa-
tic devices, you must put the devices to be taught-in into teach-in
mode and select the required teach-in channel. To do this, proceed
as follows:
During teach-in, please make sure you maintain a distance of
at least 50 cm between the devices.
• Activate the teach-in mode of your actuator. Therefore, press
and hold down the channel button for at least 4 seconds. The
