Installing the receiver
A1
Selecting the location
The device is considered to be an electrical
switch according to EN 60669-2-1.
Note that installation in distribution boxes, enclo-
sures made of metal, in the immediate vicinity of
large metal objects, on the floor or near the floor
can have a negative impact on the radio range.
There are no restrictions with regard to the instal-
lation height.
A2
Mounting the receiver
1. Remove the housing cover.
2. Attach the receiver to the mounting location.
Use the screw threads of the cover screws for
this purpose.
3. Switch off the supply voltage.
4. Insert the connection cables through the dou-
ble membrane glands. Pull the cable back
briefly to form the seal.
5. Connect the cables for the power supply,
consumers to be switched and, if necessary,
external button according to the connection
diagram (see section A3 "Electrical connec-
tion").
Mains power cables or cables
connected to other circuits must
not be used for the button con-
nections!
6. Switch on the power supply (230 V AC).
7. Now program the transmitter codes for the
transmitter and, if applicable, the external
buttons on the receiver (see section C1 "Pro-
gram transmitters/buttons").
The receiver is live during
programming! Do not touch
the terminals; there is a risk of
electric shock!
8. Screw the housing cover back onto the lower
part of the housing.

Intended use
The device may only be used as a radio receiver
for switching electrical loads according to the load
table. Operation is carried out using Easywave
radio transmitters, an Easywave neo transmitter,
APC01 Easywave neo server or connected but-
tons / switches.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused
by improper use or use contrary to the intended
purpose.

Safety instructions
Before operating the device, please read
these instructions carefully! Failure to ob-
serve the instructions may result in fire or
other hazards.
Attention!
The device may only
be operated on the 230V/50Hz AC
mains. The electrical installation
may only be carried out by an ap-
proved electrician (according to
VDE 0100).
The device is part of a building installation. Observe
applicable laws, standards and regulations of the coun-
try in which the devices are installed, as well as the
instructions from the manufacturer for the devices to
be switched!
Only load the device up to the specified power limit!
The device must be fused with an upstream 10 A circuit
breaker.
Have non-functioning devices checked by the manu-
facturer and do not make any unauthorised changes
to the device!
Function
The RCU08 receiver is used for potential-free
switching of mains or (protective) low voltage
(SELV) for up to two consumers.
The receiver can be operated in ON/OFF, PULSE
and DEAD MAN operating modes. The ON/OFF
operating mode can also be used with two TIMER
functions and one LOGIC function.
Up to two external buttons can be connected
potential-free to the button inputs of the RCU08
Button inputs
In the factory state, the two external buttons
EXT1
and
EXT2
use the operating mode ON/OFF ( )
in 1-button operation. EXT1 is assigned to output
1 (CH1) and EXT2 is assigned to output 2 (CH2).
This assignment is restored after an output or fac-
tory reset.
The factory assignment of the external buttons
can be changed at any time. For this purpose,
the buttons can be programmed or also deleted
in any operating mode of the outputs CH1/CH2,
analogue to radio transmitters.
As soon as a button is programmed to an output,
the factory assignment is ignored. If, for example,
the EXT1 button is programmed to output CH2,
it will no longer switch output CH1. If the EXT1
button is to switch both outputs, it must be pro-
grammed to output CH2 as well as to its originally
assigned output CH1.
External buttons behave like a transmitter button
with the button code B and should always be pro-
grammed in 1-button operation.
The button inputs have priority over radio trans-
mitters and can therefore be used, for example,
to temporarily block an output. To do this, connect
a switch and program it into the ON/OFF operat-
ing mode with 2-button operation ( ). As long as
the switch is closed, the respective output also
remains switched off.
If a switch is programmed in the DEAD MAN op-
erating mode ( ), it switches the output ON as
soon as it is closed. Radio transmitters can switch
the output OFF again at any time.
