G Operating instructions
RS2W Radio-controlled switch, 2-wire with
switch input
Item no. 1243792
Intended use
The radio-controlled switch can be used to remotely switch a connected consumer on and off
using a suitable radio transmitter of the RS2W system.
The radio-controlled switch may only be used on mains voltage (230 V/AC, 50 Hz). The maximum
load for the connected devices is max. 300 W/1,3 A (resistive load) or max. 30 W/0,13 A (inductive
load).
The special design does not require a neutral conductor, which makes installation in existing elec-
tric installations very easy.
Please read the operating instructions carefully and do not discard them. If you pass the product
on to a third party, please hand over these operating instructions as well.
Any use other than that described above could lead to damage to this product and involves the risk
of short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product may be modified or converted! The
safety instructions must be observed at all times!
This product complies with the applicable national and European requirements. All names of com-
panies and products are the trademarks of the respective owners. All rights reserved.

Observe the operating instructions!
Safety instructions
R ead the complete operating manual carefully before using the product as it contains
important information about the correct installation and operation.
D amage due to failure to follow these operating instructions will void the warranty!
We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
W e do not assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by improper
use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such cases, the warranty will
be null and void!
Caution!
T his product may only be installed by a qualified technician (e.g., an electrician) who
is familiar with the relevant regulations (e.g., VDE, German electrical wiring regula-
tions)!
I mproper work carried out on the mains voltage endangers not only your own life, but
also the life of others!
I f you do not have the expertise required for the installation, do not install it yourself
but ask a qualified technician.
a) General
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Do not open/disassemble!
• The product is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of children. There is a risk
of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around since this may become
a dangerous toy for children.
• Handle the product with care; it may be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
falls, even from a low height.
b) Operating location
• The product may be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas only; it must not get damp or
wet!
• Only use the product when it is securely installed and steady. Install the product e.g.
in a suitable flush socket, surface socket or another suitable enclosure so that the
required protection against contact is ensured.
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibrations or
heavy mechanical stress. Keep the product away from strong magnetic fields occur-
ing near machines, electric motors or loudspeakers.
• Do not operate the device in environments where there are high levels of dust, flam-
mable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
• Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although transmitters
of the RS2W system only emit relatively weak radio signals, these may lead to the
malfunctioning of life-support systems. The same may also apply to other zones.
c) Connection, handling and use
• Never touch or operate the product with damp or wet hands. There is a risk of a life-
threatening electric shock!
• Only carry out the installation when all the mains cables to the radio-controlled
switch are disconnected from the mains voltage. Otherwise, there is a risk of a life-
threatening electric shock!
• An all-pole disconnection from the mains voltage (such as a surge protector) must
be provided as part of the wiring set-up.
• Never connect the product to the power supply immediately after it has been trans-
ferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during transport). Condensation water
that forms might destroy the device. Moreover, there is danger of electric shock!
Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching it on. Wait until the
condensation has evaporated. This might take several hours. Only after this should it
be plugged in to the mains supply and put into use.
• Never overload the product. Observe the maximally admissible connected load in the
chapter "Technical Data".
• Do not use the product if it is damaged. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric
shock! In this case, dispose of the product in an environmentally correct manner.
• If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the device must be
turned off and precautions must be taken to ensure that it is not used unintentionally.
Do not touch the radio-controlled switch or any device connected to it.
Disconnect the radio-controlled switch from the mains by switching off at the ap-
propriate circuit breaker or by pulling out the fuse. Furthermore, turn off the earth
leakage circuit breaker to disconnect all the poles of the mains supply.
It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage
- the product does not work at all or works poorly (leaking smoke or a smell of
burning, audible cracking noises, discolouration to the product or the adjacent
surfaces)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Use the product only in a temperate and not in a tropical climate.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical department or another specialist.
Preparations for installation
Please consult the section: "Safety instructions"!
• To use the radio-controlled switch, install it in a suitable flush or surface socket or other suitable
enclosure.
• The radio-controlled switch must be disconnected from the power supply during installation.
First, switch off all poles of the mains supply by switching off at the circuit breaker or removing
the fuse and then also switch off the associated ground-fault circuit breaker.
Secure it against unauthorised reconnection, e.g., with a danger sign. Afterwards, check the
mains connection for absence of voltage using a suitable tester.
