radio system is necessary. The connected consumer can also be swit-
ched on or off manually using a button at the front.
The product is intended for one load with a maximum power/current
consumption or 3500 W/15.2 A (resistive load) resp. 600 W/2.6 A (in-
ductive load). The product is only suitable for outdoor use. Power is
supplied over a common household power outlet (230 V/AC, 50 Hz).

Read the operating instructions carefully and espe-
cially observe the safety information. If you do not fol-
low the safety instructions and information on proper
handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any
resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such
cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may
become dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, strong jolts, am-
mable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of
operation and protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can
no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions
or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even
from a low height can damage the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other de-
vices which are connected to the product.
• The product is designed in accordance with protection class I. Only
a safety outlet such as a wall socket for the public supply grid may
be used as a power source.
• The mains socket into which the product is plugged must be readily
accessible.
• The radio-controlled switch socket is equipped with a child safety
lock.
Only when the pins of a power plug are placed in both openings of
the socket at the front of the radio-controlled switch socket at the
same time will the mechanism release the opening.
However, take special caution when children are around. Children
cannot realise the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical
devices. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• The product is protected according to IP44; it can be mounted and
operated outdoors. It is essential however, to ensure the correct
operating position (see chapter “Connection / Start-up”).
Never use the product in or under water, there is a danger of a fatal
electric shock!
• Keep the product away from strong magnetic elds occurring near
machines or electric motors.
• Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although
transmitters of the RS2W wireless system only emit relatively weak
radio signals, these may lead to the malfunctioning of life-support
systems. The same may also apply to other areas.
• Never touch, operate, plug in or unplug the product with damp or
wet hands. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock! The
same applies for the load that is plugged in the socket of the prod-
uct.
• Never connect the product to the power supply immediately after it
has been transferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during
transport). The condensation that forms might destroy the device.
Moreover, there is danger of electric shock!
Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching it on.
Wait until the condensation has evaporated. This might take several
hours. Only then the product may be plugged in to the mains socket
and put into use.
• Always pull a mains plug out of the radio-controlled switch socket
on the gripping surface. Never unplug a mains plug from a mains
socket by pulling the cable.
• Never overload the product. Observe the maximum connected load
in the chapter “Technical Data”.
• Do not connect in series! This can lead to an overload of the ra-
dio-controlled switch socket! There is a risk of re!

RS2W wireless outdoor switch socket
Item no. 1761778
• Do not operate while it is covered! At higher connected loads, the
radio-controlled switch socket becomes warm, which can lead to
overheating and potentially a re if covered!
• Current-free only when the plug is withdrawn!
• Do not use the product if it is damaged. There is a risk of a
life-threatening electric shock! In this case, dispose of the product in
an environmentally correct manner.
• Always pull the radio-controlled switch socket out of the mains sock-
et (e.g. wall socket) before cleaning it or when the device will not be
in use for a long time (e.g. for storage).
• Although the product is suitable for outdoor use, you must never
aim the water jet of a garden irrigation system or a pressure washer
at the wireless switch socket.
If any liquid has still managed to enter the device, immediately turn
off the power supply to the mains socket at which the product is
connected (turn off the fuse / circuit breaker / residual current ope-
rated circuit breaker of the associated circuits). Only then can you
unplug the radio-controlled switch socket from the mains socket and
contact a specialist. Do not use the product any longer.
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical
climate.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connec-
tion of the device.
• Maintenance, modications and repairs are to be performed exclu-
sively by an expert or at a qualied shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating
instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical
personnel.
Connection and start-up
• Plug the radio-controlled switch socket into a regular grounded
mains socket (wall socket) of the public supply grid.
For outdoor use, the power outlet which is utilized must at least
comply with protection class IP44.
• The wireless switch socket must only
be used in an outdoor area in such a
way that the protective covering can
open upwards. The arrow in the pic-
ture to the right indicates “up”.
• Lift up the protective ap up and plug
the power plug of the load into the so-
cket of the wireless switch socket.
Only an IP44 power plug may be used as a power adaptor for the
use outdoors.
• Move the protective ap back down so that it lies on the power plug.
Do not block the protective ap.
Switching the load on/off using the button
• Briey press the button at the front of the radio-controlled switch
socket to switch the connected load on or off.
• An LED in the button indicates the current switch state:
- LED on: Mains socket/load is switched on
- LED off: Mains socket/load is switched off
