This product is used to remotely switch a connected electrical consumer on and off. To do this, a
suitable radio transmitter of the RS2W radio system is necessary. The connected consumer can
also be switched on or off manually using a button at the front.
The product is intended for one load with a maximum power/current consumption or
3500 W/15,2 A (resistive load) resp. 600 W/2,6 A (inductive load). The product is only suitable for
outdoor use. Power is supplied over a common household power outlet (230 V/AC, 50 Hz).

Safety instructions
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!
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 designed in accordance with protection class I. Only a safety outlet
such as a wall socket for the public supply grid may be used as a power source.
• The mains socket into which the product is plugged must be readily accessible.
• The product is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of children. Position the
product so it is out of the reach of children.
• The radio-controlled switch socket is equipped with a child safety lock.
Only when the pins of a power plug are placed in both openings of the socket at
the front of the radio-controlled switch socket at the same time will the mechanism
release the opening.
However, take special caution when children are around. Children cannot realise
the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical devices. 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 is protected according to IP44; it can be mounted and operated out-
doors. It is essential however, to ensure the correct operating position (see chapter
"Connection / Start-up").
Never use the product in or under water, there is a danger of a fatal electric shock!
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or strong
vibrations. Keep the product away from strong magnetic fields occurring near ma-
chines or electric motors.
• 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 wireless system only emit relatively weak radio signals, these may lead to
the malfunctioning of life-support systems. The same may also apply to other areas.
c) Handling and use
• Never touch, operate, plug in or unplug the product with damp or wet hands. There
is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock! The same applies for the load that is
plugged in the socket of the product.
• 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). The condensation
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 then the product
may be plugged in to the mains socket and put into use.
• Always pull a mains plug out of the radio-controlled switch socket on the gripping
surface. Never unplug a mains plug from a mains socket by pulling the cable.
• Never overload the product. Observe the maximum connected load in the chapter
"Technical Data".
• Do not connect in series! This can lead to an overload of the radio-controlled switch
socket! There is a risk of fire!
• Do not operate while it is covered! At higher connected loads, the radio-controlled
switch socket becomes warm, which can lead to overheating and potentially a fire if
covered!
• Current-free only when the plug is withdrawn!
• 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.
Safe operation can no longer be assumed 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
• Always pull the radio-controlled switch socket out of the mains socket (e.g. wall
socket) before cleaning it or when the device will not be in use for a long time (e.g.
for storage).
• Although the product is suitable for outdoor use, you must never aim the water jet of
a garden irrigation system or a pressure washer at the wireless switch socket.
If any liquid has still managed to enter the device, immediately turn off the power
supply to the mains socket at which the product is connected (turn off the fuse /
circuit breaker / residual current operated circuit breaker of the associated circuits).
Only then can you unplug the radio-controlled switch socket from the mains socket
and contact a specialist. Do not use the product any longer.
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never 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.
