1. Prescribed use The sole purpose of the ‘FS20S4’ 2-/4-channel hand-held transmitter is to remotely control the various components of the FS20 wireless control system. The components are remotely controllable on 2 channels (two buttons per channel) or 4 channels (one button per channel). Any use other than the one described above may damage the product and cause other dangers.
4. Safety instructions The product’s guarantee becomes invalid if the product is damaged as a result of failure to observe these operating instructions. We do not assume any liability for any result- ing damages! Nor do we assume liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by improper use or failure to ob- serve the safety instructions.
5. Information on batteries/rechargeable batteries • Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children. • Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the button cell (pay attention to positive and negative pole). • Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around as they could be swallowed by children or pets.
6. Inserting the battery, replacing the battery • Open the battery compartment on the rear by turning the battery compartment cover clockwise slightly using a coin (the arrows are in the ‘open’ position). • Insert a ‘CR2016’ lithium button battery, observing the correct polarity. The plus (‘+’) pole has to point outwards towards you.
7. Control panel Control indicator/LED Channel 1, ‘off’ button, or ‘dim down’ Channel 1, ‘on’ button, or ‘dim up’ Channel 2, ‘off’ button, or ‘dim down’ Channel 2, ‘on’ button, or ‘dim up’ The operation above describes the 2-channel operation of the hand-held transmitter.
8. Operation Please note: In the delivery state the components of the FS20 wireless control system do not respond to remote control commands. They must first be addressed according to the instructions provided in the respective device’s user manual. The setting of the basic functions is then possible.
b) Using several transmitters In the delivery state each transmitter in the FS20 wireless control system has its own, randomly set house code. If you want to jointly control one or several receivers via different transmit- ters, you first need to coordinate the transmitters’ house codes. ...
d) Saving settings In the delivery state the ‘FS20S4’ has the following default settings: House code: random Address for channel 1: 11 11 (address group/subaddress) Address for channel 2: 11 12 (address group/subaddress) Address for channel 3: 11 13 (address group/subaddress) Address for channel 4: 11 14 (address group/subaddress) ...
If this happens, then the programming that you have carried out will not be saved. Replace the battery and then repeat the programming. We recommend that you replace the battery, if the LED lights up for 3 seconds, as described above. e) Restoring the factory settings To reset the ‘FS20S4’...
9. Double number of channels (4-channel operation) In addition to the standard 2-channel hand-held transmitter setting (for example, two channels with an on/off button) the ‘FS20S4’ can also be operated as a 4-channel transmitter. Only one button is available to each channel, and there are no more button combinations.
b) Operation in the 4-channel mode In 4-channel operation each of the 4 buttons on the hand-held transmitter has its own channel (compare with the figure in section 7): Channel 1 Channel 3 Channel 2 Channel 4 For this reason operation is different than in the 2-channel mode. However, switching and dimming functions are still available in 4-channel operation.
c) Timer functions (4-channel operation) In order to program a receiver’s timer function, proceed as follows: • Press the button that is assigned to the receiver and keep it pressed (do not release the button yet!). • Press the button to the left, or right, for 1 to 5 seconds (1 sec to 5 sec) and then release it.
10. FS20 address system basics The FS20 wireless control system (to which the ‘FS20S4’ 2-/4-channel hand-held transmitter belongs) works with its own ‘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).
Page 17
• 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.
11. Programming the hand-held transmitter The house code, an address group and a subaddress are used for coding the transmitters and their individual buttons. You can also use special address group assignments to program the hand-held transmitter as a local or global master.
b) Setting the addresses (2-channel operation) A channel’s address comprises a 2-digit address group and a 2-digit subaddress. Example: 1131, address group 11, subaddress 31 The address group ‘11’ is factory set for both channels. Subaddress ‘11’ is pre-programmed for channel 1 and subaddress ‘12’...

2. Assigning function groups and master addresses • Function groups (44xx) If you enter 44 as the address group, then the subaddress (provided this is not also set to 44; see the following section) is defined as a function group. 15 different function groups between 4411 and 4443 can then be defined.
b) Setting the addresses (4-channel operation) If the ‘FS20S4’ is operated in the 4-channel mode, proceed as follows in order to change the address group and subaddress of the respective button: • Press and hold the button to be programmed. •...
12. Example of an address assignment When you require a large, extended system, it is advisable to select addresses systematically so that you have an overview of the addresses that have already been assigned and so that you can jointly control the programmed receivers simply and logically in groups.
Page 23
15 address groups are possible: 11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42, 43 In order to be able to separately control each receiver, you need to program each receiver to a single address. In addition to the address group that is already selected (room A: 11, room B: 12, room C: 13, room D: 14), a subaddress is also needed.
13. Handling The product must not be opened or taken apart (apart from when replacing the battery, as described in this user manual). There are no serviceable parts inside the product. The licence (CE) and the guarantee/warrantee become invalid, if you open the device or take it apart. Avoid the following unfavourable ambient conditions when operating or transporting the device.
14. Maintenance and cleaning The product requires no servicing except for battery replacement. Repairs or maintenance work should only be carried out by a skilled technician. Clean the product with a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. To remove heavier dirt, use a cloth which is slightly moistened with lukewarm water.
15. Disposal a) General information When the product is no longer usable, dispose of it in accord- ance with the applicable statutory regulations. b) Batteries and rechargeable batteries As the consumer, you are legally obliged to return all your used batteries and rechargeable batteries.
16. Information on the range • The FS20 wireless control system, including the ‘FS20S4’ hand-held transmitter, works in the 868 MHz range. This range is also used by other devices and radio services. This means that devices that operate on the same or neighbouring frequency may restrict both the operation of the ‘FS20S4’...
