Operation instructons Radio receiver module Touch DIM RC
Application and function
TOUCH DIM RC receiver module enables two luminaire groups with OSRAM control gear featuring the Touch DIM
function to be remote-controlled. The module receives radio telegrams from transmitters and converts them at the output
into Touch DIM signals. The transmitters are based on piezo technology and generate the necessary transmission
energy directly when they are pressed. There is no need for any batteries and the transmitters require no maintenance.
Safety and installation instructions
•
The unit should be installed and tested only by a qualified electrician.
•
Power to the units must be switched off before any work is
undertaken.
•
Relevant safety and accident prevention regulations must be
observed.
The TOUCH DIM RC module is used exclusively for controlling OSRAM
control gears with the Touch DIM function. Mains voltage or any other external voltage must not be applied to the Learn,
T1 or T2 inputs. The Touch DIM RC module may only be operated on AC voltage.
Using the equipment for any purpose other than its intended use may lead to damage or destruction.

Training of transmitters
Before the control gear connected to the Touch DIM RC module can be operated, the relevant transmitter has to be
trained in the receiver.
Hold down the button marked “press to activate learn mode” on the receiver with a suitable tool (such as an insulated
screwdriver) until the “Learn mode active” LED starts to flash. Alternatively, this learn mode can be activated by an
external switch (make contact) connected to the “Learn” terminals.
Now operate the transmitter to be trained. On receipt of a radio telegram, the LED lights up for 4 seconds, then goes out
for a further 4 seconds and then continues to flash to confirm that it has been successfully trained. While the LED is
flashing further transmitters can be trained.
In each case, both channels (= both buttons, Ch1 and Ch2) of a transmitter are trained.
The learn mode can be terminated by pressing the “press to activate learn mode” button again or with an external switch
connected to the “Learn” terminals. The learn mode is automatically terminated if a transmitter has not been operated for
30 seconds.
Untraining /cancelling transmitters
Hold down the button marked “press to activate learn mode” on the receiver with a suitable tool (such as an insulated
screwdriver) until the “Learn mode active” LED starts to flash. Alternatively, this learn mode can be activated by an
external switch (make contact) connected to the “Learn” terminals.
Now operate the transmitter to be cancelled. When a radio telegram is received the LED goes out for 4 seconds and then
continues to flash to confirm that the cancel process has been successfully completed. While the LED is flashing further
transmitters can be cancelled.
In each case, both channels (= both buttons, Ch1 and Ch2) of a transmitter are untrained.
Note
: The learning (and unlearning) mode is indicated by the lighting slowly fading up and down in rhythm with the
flashing LED. During the learn mode the sensitivity of the receiver module is reduced so that neighbouring transmitters
are not trained (or untrained) by mistake. It may therefore be necessary to bring the transmitter closer to the receiver.
Operation
Each transmitter has two channels (= two buttons). One channel acts on output Ch1, the other on output Ch2 of the
TOUCH DIM RC module. Two luminaire groups (Group 1 connected to Ch1, Group 2 connected to Ch2) can therefore
be operated independently of each other.
Pressing briefly on one of the two channel buttons on the transmitter switches the luminaire group connected to the
relevant channel on or off. Holding down the button will fade the lighting either up or down. The direction changes each
time the button is pressed. If the lighting system is off and the button in held down the luminaires will come on at the
minimum dimmer setting and start to fade up.
As an option, the luminaires can be operated with external switches (make contacts) connected to terminals T1 or T2.
The switch at T1 operates Ch1, and the switch at T2 operates Ch2.
Note:
All the Touch DIM/Touch DIM Sensor functions of the OSRAM control gear can be accessed. For further
information please refer to the documentation for the particular products.
Notes on radio operation
The installation site for transmitters and receivers, the structure of the building and the building materials all have a major
impact on the transmission range. The type and number of obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver, sources of
interference and signal reflections may reduce the ranges given below quite considerably. If you are in any doubt you should
test the transmission range before installing the equipment (range planning e.g. with EPM 100 from Enocean). The following
transmission ranges are given as guide values:
In the open air
approx. 300m
Halls
approx. 100m
Passageways and corridors
approx. 50m
Rooms with wooden or plasterboard walls
approx. 30m, penetration of up to 7 walls
Rooms with brick or breezeblock walls
approx. 20m, penetration of up to 3 walls
Rooms with reinforced concrete walls
approx. 10m, penetration of one wall
Troubleshooting
The luminaire is not working.
Corrective
There is no power
Check the power connections
The lamps are faulty
Replace them
The luminaire has been switched off by the transmitter
Switch the luminaire on
Luminaire does not react as expected to switch
operations
Corrective
The transmitter has not been trained
Train the transmitter as described
The receiver module is too far away from the transmitter
Reduce the distance between the receiver and the
transmitter
Faulty wiring
Check the wiring
Pushbutton was pressed too long/short
Press pushbutton shorter/longer
