Intended use
The device of type SW868 is intended for use(in the European Union.
It complies with the European Union’s Directive 2014/53/EU (RED) for
radio equipment.
The device of type SW915 is intended for use in Canada, USA, and Mex-
ico. It complies with the requirements of FCC Rules and IC Rules, RSS-
210. It has an approval number for the Mexican states.
The device of type SW917 is intended for use in Brazil. It complies with
the requirements of Resolucão 242/2000.
The device of type SW922 is intended for use in Japan. It complies with
the requirements of ARIB STD-T108.
The one-channel wireless switch is used to switch electrical loads via
radio transmission. The receiver must conform to the sWave® proto-
col of the steute modules. The steute wireless command devices allow
for the realisation of wireless transmission of a push button signal on
basis of the steute sWave® wireless technology, required energy is
generated by an electrodynamic energy generator.
Mounting and wiring
Mount the wireless switch on an even surface. The wireless switch
must be installed according to the mounting and wiring instruc-
tions of the receiver. The wireless range accordingly depends on the
local conditions. Thus, the radio signal can be strongly affected by
conductive materials. This also includes thin foils, e.g. aluminium
laminations on insulation materials. A test with the field strength
indicator swView 868, Material No. 1190393, or swView 915, Material
No. 1221794, should be carried out (swView 922 and swView 917 on
request only).
Design of wireless range
Because radio signals are electromagnetic waves, the signal is atten-
uated on its way from the transmitter to the receiver. This means the
electrical as well as the magnetic field strengths decrease inversely
proportionally to the squared distance of transmitter and receiver
(E,H~1/r²). In addition to this natural restriction of the wireless range,
further interference factors occur: Metal parts, e.g. armours in walls,
metal foils of thermal insulations or vapour-deposited metal layer
heat protection glass reflect electromagnetic waves. Therefore, a so-
called deadspot can be found behind them. Radio waves are able to
penetrate walls, but the attenuation increases even more than in the
free field.
Penetration of radio waves:
wood, gypsum, glas uncoated
90...100%
brick stone, press boards
65...95%
armoured concrete
10...90%
metal, aluminium lamination, water
0...10%
Typical wireless ranges are:
Line of sight in free field:
approx. 450 m
Line of sight indoors:
approx. 40 m
Line of sight in free field (SW922):
approx. 150 m
Line of sight indoors (SW922):
approx. 20 m
Safety
Do not use the device in connection with other devices whose direct
or indirect purpose is to ensure life or health, or whose operation may
pose a threat to humans, animals or material assets. The described
products were developed in order to assume safety functions as part
of an entire plant or machine. It is the responsibility of the manufac-
turer of a plant or machine to guarantee the correct general function.
N.B.
To avoid too fast actuation, there is, by default, a delay time of 1 s
when processing one switching command from transmitter to receiver
(if the radio interface is unoccupied and there are no repeat tele-
grams). The switching signal of a transmitter must not be generated
in shorter time sequences otherwise this signal will be suppressed.
The preset delay time of 1 s can be adjusted from min 125 ms to max.
31.9 s (see RF RxT SW868/915/917/922-NET, »Description of interface/
Wireless receiver«, section »StateMessage-Response«, paragraph
»RECORD.CYCLETIME«, download from www.steute.com).
Subject to technical modifications. Reconstruction and alterations to
the device are not allowed. steute does not assume any liability for
recommendations made or implied by this description. New claims for
guarantee, warranty or liability cannot be derived from this document
beyond the general terms and conditions of delivery.
Maintenance and cleaning
We recommend regular maintenance as follows:
1. Remove all dirt particles.
Clean enclosure on the outside only. Clean enclosure with household
cleaning agents. Do not use compressed air to clean.
Battery
The battery charge is displayed in the description of interface in sec-
tion »RECORD.BATT« as mV (see RF RxT SW868/915/917/922-NET,
»Description of interface/Wireless receiver«, chapter »DataMessage«.
Download the »Description of interface« from www.steute.com). If the
description of interface shows the battery charge drop under approx.
<3200 mV (at 20°C, approx. 20 mA load), the battery may be empty.
Caution: Measuring the off-load voltage does not provide reliable
data!
To ensure a safe function, replace the battery. To do this, use a
