Intended use
The USB programming stick is used to program system components such as radio energy-saving controllers. The USB stick
does not have any controls and must be used in conjunction with the associated PC software. The device may only be ope-
rated indoors and must be protected from the effects of damp and dust, as well as solar or heat radiation. Using the device
for any purpose other than that described in this operating manual does not fall within the scope of intended use and shall
invalidate any warranty and exempt HERZ from any liability. This also applies to any conversion or modification work. The
device is intended for private use only.
Operation
Programming settings are made using the associated PC software. For more information see Section “PC software”. The PC
software uses the USB programming stick to send the weekly programme, along with the date and time, to devices that are
ready to receive. For more information see Section “Radio transmission of programming settings”.
PC-Software
The PC software for the USB programming stick can be downloaded from www.herz.eu. The corresponding file can be
found in the “Download” area. Follow the on-screen instructions when downloading the PC software.
Radio transmission of programming settings
So that the USB programming stick can send data to system components such as radio energy-saving controllers, these
components must first of all be set to teachin mode.
• The USB programming stick must be plugged into the PC’s USB port.
• The PC software must be running on the PC and programming must be complete.
• For transmission, the receivermust be set to teach-in mode. For more information on this, refer to the operating manual
for the relevant device.
• The USB programming stick can now send data to the devices that are ready to receive. To start the transmission
process, activate the transmission function in the PC software.
The USB programming stick does not remain permanently taught–in on the devices to be programmed.
If the USB programming stick is being used to send a weekly programme, all devices that are ready to receive will receive
the programme accordingly. An unlimited number of receivers can be programmed.
When being put into operation for the first time, a radio energy-saving controller can be switched to teach-in mode im-
mediately after data entry (please see the corresponding operating manual for detailed instructions). If a wireless signal is
received from the USB programming stick during the teach-in period, the radio energy-saving controller will change over to
continuous reception and PCC (PC configuration) will appear on the display. You can exit PCC mode again by pressing the
OK button.
System requirements
• Windows® XP, Windows Vista™, Windows 7™
• USB connection
Remedy
If no data is being sent to the radio energy-saving controller, you can check the following:
Range:
Make sure that the receivers are located in the wireless range of the USB programming stick.
Receive mode:
The receiving devices must be set to teach-in mode during transmission.
PC software:
Data cannot be sent unless the corresponding PC software has been installed and activated. The USB stick must also be
plugged into the PC’s USB port; the operating system will detect the USB programming stick automatically.
