transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this
time restriction comes to an end. HomeMatic devices
are designed and produced with 100% conformity to
standards. During normal operation, the duty cycle is
not usually reached. However, repeated and wireless-
intensive teach-in processes mean that it can be in
isolated instances during start-up or initial installation
of a system. This can happen for example when set-
ting and testing the detection range of taught-in motion
sensors. If the duty cycle limit is exceeded, the device
may stop working for a brief period. This is due to
the fact that permanent transmission is not permitted
in the 868 MHz range (maximum transmission time:
36 seconds per hour). Therefore, when this limit is
reached, further transmission by the devices must
be prevented. Perform a short function check on the
device (e.g. by removing and reinserting the batteries).
If the check does not restore the device to readiness
for operation, it has exceeded the duty cycle and will
be ready for operation again in an hour's time.

Please read this entire section before
starting to carry out 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.
The wireless motion detector can be used to control
HomeMatic actuators, such as wireless switches. To
execute the teach-in procedure, the devices to be
connected must be in teach-in mode. The device can
be taught-in both without a brightness threshold (i.e.
switching in brightness too) and with a fixed brightness
switching threshold of approx. 10 lux (switching only in
twilight/darkness). The device operates with a minimum
transmission interval of 4 min. When directly teaching in
the device to a HomeMatic actuator, the duty cyctle of
the HomeMatic acutator will be set to 5 min. Thus, e.g.
an a interruption-free illumination during longer lasting
movement is possible. It is possible to configure the
response brightness and response sensitivity as well
as the minimum transmission interval or futher settings
of the device from the HomeMatic central control unit.
