1 AND 2 GANG WALL TRANSMITTERS

Installation & Operating Instructions

The wall transmitters are part of the Echo radio system. The radio

transmission takes place at the European harmonised frequency of

868.3MHz. It is particularly suitable for areas where no repairs are

required, such as renovations, retrofitting of electrical systems or offices

with mobile walls. By pressing a button, consumers can be switched

wirelessly through receivers.

The transmitters must be assigned to the receivers. Therefore, refer to

the receivers operating instructions. Every wall transmitter can control

an indefinite number of receivers.

SAFETY:

The device should be installed by a competent person or a

qualified electrician in accordance with these instructions and

the appropriate current national wiring regulations.

SPECIFICATION:

General Data

Transmit frequency 868.3MHz

RD Transmission Power 10mW

Modulation type ASK – Amplitude Shift Keying

Cycles of Operation >50,000

Ambient temperature -25 to +65°C

Relative humidity 0 – 95%

Identification CE

RF RANGE:

The strength of the radio signal between the transmitter and switching

receiver weakens as distance increases. The range can be further

reduced by different materials or interference sources in the propagation

direction of the radio waves. The range can be increased by the use of

Echo Repeaters (radio amplifiers).

Material Reduction

Wood, plaster, non-coated glass 0 - 10%

Masonry, wood/plaster walls 5 - 35%

Reinforced concrete 10 - 90%

Range Conditions

> 30 m

Under good conditions (large, clear space without

obstructions).

> 20 m

Through up to 5 plaster/drywall board walls or 2

brick/porous concrete walls (furniture and persons in

the room):

For transmitter and receiver with good aerial

positioning/layout.

> 10 m

Through up to 5 plaster/drywall board walls or 2

brick/porous concrete walls (furniture and persons in

the room):

For receivers installed in walls or corners of rooms,

receivers with internal aerial or narrow corridors.

Through 1-2

ceilings / walls

Depending on ceiling/wall armouring and type of

aerial in the receiver.

STRUCTURE AND DESCRIPTION

The transmitters are available in 1 and 2 channel versions and are used

in conjunction with the K5776 and K5779 mounting frames which are

available separately.

Wall Transmitters

1 channel transmitter 2 channel transmitter

Installation of Glass Frames:

- The installation surface must be level.

- If necessary, level off the surface under each individual base element.

- Ensure that the base elements are exactly aligned.

- Tighten the screws on the coverings with the utmost care. There

should not be any distortion on the frame, as this can lead to the glass

cracking or shattering.

- When removing rocker switches, they should be lifted off carefully. Do

not use the screwdriver to create a lever effect on the glass frame.

MOUNTING AND COMMISSIONING:

• Do not use in the open (only within closed rooms).

• Before the installation on rough surfaces, a smooth surface has to be

created. Unevenness may lead to transmitter’s malfunctions.

• When installing, mind the required position of installation shown on

the back of the transmitter (O = top, I = bottom) (1).

• Do NEVER install the transmitter within a metal body or in the

immediate vicinity of big metal objects. An installation near or on the

ground is not recommendable.

Mounting - Screw fixing:

• Retaining plates (4) shall be used as a template to mark the drill

holes.

• Drill dowel holes of 5 mm.

• Fix the retaining plate with included screws. The latches of the

retaining plate have to be positioned for their installation as shown

under point 4.

• Engage wall transmitter (2) and frame (3) on the retaining plate.

Mounting - Adhesive Pad:

• Engage wall transmitter (2) and frame (3) on the retaining plate (4).

• Use adhesive strips for the installation on flat, smooth surfaces (such

as painted walls, tiles, furniture, wood, etc.). Glue the adhesive strip

to both the upper and lower recess on the indentation of the retaining

plate.

• Use adhesive film for the installation on glass. Glue the adhesive

film to the inverse side of the retaining plate.

• Glue the assembled wall transmitter to the desired place.

Commissioning:

• Installation of the receiver.

• Assign wall transmitter to receiver.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

New system or existing system

• Check power supply (electrician only).

• Check connected electrical loads.

• Check the system’s surroundings for changes that could cause interference

(e.g. metal cabinets, furniture or walls which have been moved).

• If the transmitter/receiver operates at a reduced distance, the radio signal was

encountering interference or it was operating outside the transmission range.

• Use the receiver at a better location.

• Delete all transmitters and reprogram the receiver.

Radio signal range limitations

• Use of the receiver in the vicinity of metal objects or materials with metal

components. Maintain a distance of at least 10cm

• Moist materials.

• Devices which emit high-frequency signals (e.g. audio and video systems,

computers, electronic ballasts in light fixtures). Maintain a distance of at least

0.5m
