EASY
PLUG DEVICE- & OPERATIONS MANUAL
On-Wall Power Socket – Switch Adapter
1. General information about this manual
Before getting started using tapHOME components please read this instruction
carefully and completely. Keep this instruction and pass it on, if you hand your
device to anybody else.
2. Hazard warning
Opening of the device is only allowed by authorized persons and gives the risk of
an electric shock. There’s no need to open the device, as there are no components
to be serviced by a consumer. The device is constructed to solely operate indoors
on 230V/50Hz AC supply within fused circuits of max. 16A.The device is designed
for continues operation, it doesn’t have an own separator and is power free only
unplugged. For this always make sure the device is easily accessible. Never plug
more devices into each other. Protect the device against water, damp, dust, sun
and other heat radiation.
IMPORTANT:
Please always note the maximum load of 3.000W (1.500W for induc-
tive loads). Applying too high loads can destroy the device and will exclude the
device from warranty. Non-compliance can also lead to accidents and fire.
3. General function of the EASYPlug
The EASYPlug switches connected devices/lamps by Z-Wave
®
radio commands.
These commands are send by the tapHOME EASYGate (required for operation)
either independently or through a user command utilizing the tapHOME App (more
information on www.taphome.eu).
4. General tapHOME system information
This device is part of the tapHOME home automation system and utilizes a special
radio protocol developed for this kind of application called Z-Wave
®
.
Z-Wave
®
among other things offers a manufacturer independent compatibility and
following substantial features:
1.
Bidirectional communication:
A command send to the device will be acknow-
ledged and reconfirmed.
2.
Mesh-Networking:
Single Z-Wave
®
devices (like this) also operate as repeater.
A command to a device which is too far away or hard to reach will be passed
on by up to 4 devices. The EASYGate arranges to find the best route to the
devices and administrates the according routing table for all devices.
The combination of these features provides a secure, stable and reliable
commu-
nication between all devices. All system configurations are made in the tapHOME-
App which executes all functions and operations in conjunction with the EASYGate
connected to the router / switch / access point. Please refer to the tapHOME-App
manual on www.taphome.eu to find out more details about the scalable tapHOME-
App.
5. Operating the EASYPlug
5.1 Operating the device manually
You can operate the following function by pressing the button on the front side of
the
device: Switching on/off by pressing and releasing the button.
5.2 Teaching-in the device to the tapHOME system
For teaching-in the device to the tapHOME system please plug the device to a
power socket at the prospective place of operation. This is very important to have
the EASYGate operating the Mesh-Networking function correctly and to prevent
future problems in communication between the devices. Set the tapHOME system
to learning mode according to the tapHOME-App manual (My devices / Attach de-
vices). Press and hold the button on the front side of the device f
or 1 second (count
21)
. The device will now be recognized within a few seconds and can be used within
the system (after failure please repeat this procedure). Finish the teaching-in proce
-
dure by following the instructions of the tapHOME-App. If necessary please consult
the tapHOME App manual or FAQ’s at www.tapHOME.eu.
5.3. Special functions of the device within the tapHOME system
The device can be included/excluded into the standard Z-Wave
®
scenes ALL ON/
OFF. By default the device is already included to these scenes. By operating this
scenes through the tapHOME-App all included devices will be switched on/off.
Following settings can be done for every single device in the device screen of the
tapHOME-App:
1.
Enable ALL ON/OFF:
The device is included to the ALL ON/OFF scene
2.
Disable ALL ON/OFF:
The device is excluded from the ALL ON/OFF scene
3.
Disable ALL ON:

2.
Off
The device is off
3.
Flashing LED
2x/sec. = teaching-in
3x/sec.=removing device
8x fast= failure teaching-in/removing
7. General note about radio operation
Z-Wave
®
utilizes the radio frequency of 868.42Mhz for transmitting of commands.
As this frequency can also be used by other systems and despite utilizing the
Z-Wave
®
technology interferences in operating devices cannot be eliminated at
any time. Electric motors, failure devices, etc. can also give interferences for trans
-
missions of radio signals. The reach of the radio signals in between the devices of
30m in buildings and 100m in open air can be significantly reduced through the
structure of buildings (e.g. concrete ceilings and/or walls) or through other environ-
mental influences (e.g. humidity). With the Z-Wave
®
Mesh-Networking technology
the tapHOME system offers a perfect solution to overcome this issue and to provide
an enhancement for the reach of the radio signals. Herewith EUROiSTYLE GmbH
declares that the EASYPlug is compliant to the general requirements and other
appropriated regulations of the 1999/5/EC directive. The declaration of conformity
is available under www.tapHOME.eu.
8. Maintenace and cleaning
The EASYPlug doesn’t require any maintenance. Repairs should only be carries out
by authorized persons. For cleaning the device please unplug the device from you
power socket. Clean the device with a dry towel only and make sure that no water
is getting inside the device.
