Fs20 Address System Basics - Conrad Electronic FS20 S4A-2 Operating Instructions Manual

11. FS20 address system basics

The FS20 wireless control system operates with a 'house code'. This means that your
neighbour can also use the same wireless control system and the two systems will not interfere
with each other (provided that the house code has been programmed differently).
256 different addresses can be set within a house code. These addresses are divided into four
address types (available number is in brackets):
• Single addresses (225)
• Function group addresses (15)
• Local master addresses (15)
• Global master address (1)
One address from each address type can be assigned to each receiver. This means that each
receiver can respond to up to four different addresses, but only ever to one address per
address type. If you need a receiver to respond to more than one transmitter, you can program
the transmitters to the same address or, if different transmitter address types have been set,
you can program the receiver consecutively to these different addresses.
The individual address types have the following function:
• Single addresses
Each receiver should be set to a single address so that it can be controlled separately.
• Function group addresses
Several receivers are defined as a functional unit by being assigned to a function group
address. If, for example, all the lamps in a house are assigned to a function group, then all
the lamps in the entire house can be switched on or off by pressing one button.
• Local master addresses
Several receivers are spatially defined as one unit and controlled via the local master
address. If, for example, all the receivers in a room are each allocated to a local master
address, then all you need to do is press one button when leaving the room to switch off
all the consumer loads in the room.
• Global master address
Several receivers are assigned to the global master address and are jointly controlled via
this address. All the consumer loads can easily be switched off simply by pressing one
single button when leaving a house, for example.
